CONDITIONS PROMISE MORE
SUGAR FOR NEXT FALL.

Il
People who have soft-pedaled
the sugar bowl for six years may
be interested in the statement
that crop conditions on July l
promised an increase in next
falls sugar production in the
United Sta ties; an increase
amounting to, approximately,
333, 900 tons, or enough to load a
train of freight cars 70 or rs
miles long, allowing 40 tons per
car. This prospective crop is
equal to more than % pounds of
sugar for every man, woman and
child within the United States,
and the incresae over last year
equals more than six pounds per
person. The sugar beet crop
this year covers almost a million
acres as against the Swear aver
age of about two-thirds of a mil
lion; and the growing condition
OH July l was above the 10-year
average. There is more than
half a million acres of sugar cane
this year, about half of which is
intended for sugar and the other
half for strip, after deducting
considerable amounts for plant
ing the next crop. There is a
substantial increase in acreage
over last year, especially in LOU
isiana, where nearly all the cane
sugar of the United States is
made. The growing conditions
of the cane in Louisiana is much
better than last year but consid-
erably under the average for the
past nine years. The Department
of Agriculture which has car
ried on a number of projects
looking toward making this
country self-sustaining from a
sugar standpoint, is cooperating
with other agencies in protecting
the crops from insects and dis
ease and otherwise promoting
the production and utilization of
bumper sugar crop. 1t should
be borne in mind, however, that
the forecast for 1920 is based up
ON conditions on July l, and the
actual outturn would be above or
below this forecast according as
conditions between July l and
harvest are better or worse than
average.

national flower of France. It was orig inally called fleur-d de-Louis.
 The ancients valued it highly for medicinal purposes. A powder made from the root. mixed with honey, was used for broken bones, and it was also considered beneficial for snake and scorpion bites. When gathering it, the name of the patient and the disease which it was to cure had to be men tioned. A valuable perfume and oil was also obtained from the iris.
 Old Greek Legend
 The legend as to how the flower received it's name goes back to the Greeks. Iris was the messenger of the gods and the rainbow was dedicated to her. On her birthday. Juno invited all the flowers to celebrate the occasion They all came in their prettiest frocks, Among them were three sisters, gor- geously dressed in gowns of purple yellow and red, and who were un- known. Since they had no name, they were called Iris, because their gowns were the color of the rainbow,

I hadn't wanted the girls to besiege Bob, but of course I couldn't forbid it. And l was quite fearful that an em- barassing situation might result from the interview, because my husband gets so stubborn. sometimes. without giving formal notice.
 "A political delegation 2" Bob asked. or a committee of arbitration?"
 We've come to demand" began Deborah Burns. At this Bob shouted with laughter.
 Demand! You're up to date. all right, girls" he said. You want me to speak at the rally-after refusing to do so?'
 NO sir" said Willy Van Eyck em- phatically. We've something much harder than that for you to do. Prom ise you will!''
 Bob laughed again.
 ''Womans political methods are go- ing to prove effective-a unique" he said. Promise ffrst-and then find out what I've promised! Willy. you rascal. you can't catch me that way. Tell me what you demand, girls!"
 We want Jane bobbed, We want Jane bobbed!" they chaRted in chorus their leader, they danced in a wavy Greek circle around him.
 Bob gave me a quick glance as tripped past him. It worried me. for he can get as hard as nails in about half second, and his look said to my experienced eye that 1 was much to blame for letting him in for very em- barassing situation.
 Fortunately, at the moment, Deborah Burns, as spokesman for the crowd, addressed my husband thus:
 MT. Bob Lorimer. we demand that you take your wife, Jane Lorsmer, downtown in your car this morning and return her to us properly cropped so that she may reflect some credit on the ballot ba1leti"
 I almost shivered for fear Bob might be suddenly abrupt and take the fun out of the frolic, politely, of course. but nevertheless quite positively. and that all of the girls might be embarrassed. Instead of refusing immediately and decidedly, Bob said:
 Line up, girlsl Let me give you

a critical once-overi"
 They stood in a row posed in the same position, quite as gracefully as any real show girls. with thefr pretty cropped heads forward. My husband surveyed them deliberately; I must ad- init that he showed a keen apprecia- ton of the fact that they were the loveliest girls in town.
 "Kamerad!' he exclaimed after talk ing his own time to study the various bobs on exhibition. "Kamerad," He raised his hands to the level of his head. Then to me. come along. Jane! Have it over with."
 At this, Ann flew at him. put her arms around his neck, in her supreme ly affected innocence, and deposited a kiss on his lips.
 I could have slapped her,
 He was my man! Even if modern domestic custom does permit brothers and sister law to share certain en- dearments-I culd have slapped Ann Lorimer before them all
 She was showing off. She was try ing to prove to the girls that she had her little particular brand of rights and privileges connected with the only man in the crowd-a man who certain ly looked particularly fascinating that morning.

The Girls Demand" Bob's Permission
 For Bobbing My Hair
 The members of the ballet arrived earlier than usual for practice next morning in order to besiege my hus- band and make their own terms about bobbing my hair.
 They rested in the nook under my beloved group of pines until Bob was about to enter his car, and then they attacked him without warning.
 "A political delegation?" he asked after he had greeted them in his most charming manner.
 I felt awfully proud of my husband that morning. Bob is tall and thin, and always perfectly groomed. and as he stood hat in hand. surrounded by the prettiest girls in our set, knew that all but the married ones were positively envfous of me. Perhaps 1t was not nice feeling, but it was per fectly human-it was the kind of sat- isfied feeling which lots of young mar ried women have whenever they are with crowd of their spinster friends.

THE IRIS

In the language of flowers, the iris signifies a message.
 Since Iris was the messenger of the gods and conducted the souls of dead women to their final resting place, the Greeks decorated the graves of their women with purple iris.
 Thls flower was widely used in old Egyptian architecture. It signified power and eloquence to the Egyptians and was, therefore, carved on the brow of the Sphinx and upon the scepters of their kings
