FIRST IN LEGION POSTS.
Iowa Ranks First With 3.,20s Act.
tive Members.

| There are 1929 active members
of the American Legion in Iowa.
The fact was disclosed by the
ieport of Department Adjutant John
MacVicar of Des Moines at the Sec
ond annual convention in Cedar
Rapids last Thursday.
There are now 523 posts in Iowa
an increase of 33S. The membership
year ago was approximately TO-
coo, increasing nearly 800 per cent
IN the year.
In paid up memberships within
the Iowa department Sioux City
stands first with 1899 members,
davenport second with 1879 mem
bers, Des Moines third with 1,l3G
members, Cedar Rapids fourth with
l,O9S members with Mason :ity
closely following.
The legion has handled s22.1SO
during the year, of which nearly
$4,000 has been in the form of
dues.
There is a cash fund on hand
amounting to s14,717. General ex-
penses during the year have been
S5,O69. The salary expense has been
50, 14S. Iowa's expense for salary
is the lowest of any state except
New Jersey which has only half the
membership.
A reduction in both departmental
and national dues is predicted by
Adjutant MacVicar.
In number of members in ppopor,
ton to men in the service, Iowa is
hrst with Massachusetts and Cali
fornia closely following. 1t will take
the official returns to determine the
result as of Aug. %. In number of
legion posts Iowa stands fourth,
with only New York, Illinois and
Pennsylvania leading.

THE SUGAR SPECTATORS.
Sugar Dealers Now Begging Govern
ment TO Protect Them.

Sugar dealers are not so happy as
they were few weeks ago. They are
learning what happens when you
force the price of an article up to
an exorbitant level. The law of Sup
ply and Demand, like the mills of
the gods, grinds slow, but it grinds
exceeding fine. 1t is working now,
and it is bringing here from all
over the world an ample supply of
sugar. Also beet sugar production
has been stimulated and large
crop is forth coming.
Now sugar dealers are begging the
government to protect them from
the collapse of the speculative struc-
ture that has been built up out of
the earning of the people. They will

The people who have made the
Zig profits on such a deal are not

smash comes. The dealers, who are
now complaining may have made no
great gains, while others who got
into the game early, have pocketed
their swag and cleaned up. Probably
the biggest gains were made by
Cuban spectators, who long ago got
cash for their crop at a most extor-
tionate rate.
The retail trade has been whip
sawed in this game, and is likely to
lose money on it's sugar transact
ions. But the people who have played
the most cautious game will have
come out the best.
Some who have stocked up heavily
have failed to foresee the results of
eAorbitant prices on any staple, and
must pay the penalty. Now if the law
OF Supply and Demand can only
work with equal remorselessness in
the matter of news print, the two
greatest price abuses of this period
VIII have been relieved.
