As a result of all this there WINS

price for this sort Of business.
1t is insisted by the government au-
thorities that there is only one way the
price of sugar can be held up, and that
is for the Spectator TO obtain an
other s~trangle-hold. There seems TO
be small probability of the spectators
again getting the upper hand.
The crop reporting board of the de-
partment of agriculture has Just COM
pleted an investigation as TO the stocks
of sugar on hand in the various states.
The board says that this inquiry shows
there Is a larger supply of sugar on

Reports from Cuba, Hawaii and else

ever before.
Recommending prices have stumu-
lated sugar planting with the result
that more acreage is devoted to the
crop to be harvested this fall n
winter than ever before. The depart

Cane sugar producers also have IN
creased their acreage from 4Sl,OOo last
year to 553. 500 this year.
The Louisiana crop Is now estimated
at $4,000, 900 pounds of sugar for 1870

acreage since the war, the department
of agriculture is informed. European
production Is also being increased
especially In Belgium and In Austria.
So It appear that housewives trou-

an end.
Organizing the New Army.
The new army Of the united
States is being rapidly organized
in accordance with the provisions
OF the act of June 4, 1920. The new
districts are officially known as corps
areas and replace the six departments
which had been established since 1910.
These areas are organized not only
with respect to the military population
composed within their boundaries, Dut
also with reference to experimenting
the military defense of the coast lines.
The next step In the general plan OF
organization will be the development
of one effective, well balanced army.
The national defense act. as amend
ed, contemplates an army or three CO.
ordinated c%omponents. namely, the
regular army, the National Guard AND
the organized reserves; organized IN
peace time SO as to include all OF
those divisions and other military or
CARNATIONS necessary to form the basis
for a complete and immediate mobili'
zation for the national defense In the
event Of a national emergency piahs

department involve the individual de,
yelopment of each of the three, ahd
their effective fuslng, n with the
other, and with the army as a whole
Each component will have a fixed mis-
sion and an equally important role. The
development of each must be assured
without competition that will adverse
ly affect the others.
Their Respective Roles.
The regular army is TO garrison ou'
overseas possessions, the coast fort
resses and other stations necessary tt
be maintained in the United States; tc
provide personnel to assist In the train
ing OF the National Guard and organ
lied reserves; to provide the personne
necessary for the administration of thu
army and the organization of an q
ouate and effective force which will b'
instantly available for emergencies
within the United States or elsewhere
and which In peace time will serve M
n model for the organization, dis
cipline and training OF the active AM
s~emi-active military forces of the ma
tion.
The ultimate strength of the regular
army. under present law. will be ap

The National Guard is TO provide u

the United States or elsewhere.
The National Guard is the secont
line increment or component of tn
army i'm peace or war.
The organized reserve is distinctly
