ming at II A. NJ. will be held the greatest
meeting Of the ministers and christian
people ever assembled in Montgomery
county. In connection with this meeting
many Sunday Schools will hold their pic
MICS, and church people generally will make

brate the day.

devoted to patriotic addresses by promi-
nent speakers, together with other suitable
exercises. The young people will see two
fine baseball games between Washington
Grove and Riggs Bank, and many kinds
Of amusement will make 1t an enjoyable
day for all present.
Through the kindness and generosity Of
one Of Montgomery county's good christian
men. ice cream will be provided for all
the Sunday School children present
The committee elected at a meeting held
at Rockville, April 18th. will report to the
ministers and delegates from the various
churches with regard to their efforts and
plans to organize all the christian forces
of the county to do the whole christian
work OF the county This committee will
meet at II o'clock, A. NJ, sharp.
The need for county organization Of
ministers and christian people has been
demonstrated by the investigations and
work done in recent years by secular or
CARNATIONS outside the churches. The
limitations Of such organizations have
shown also the fact that II the work is to
be done adequately. 1t must be done by
the church. This work is mostly moral,
social, educational and general welfare.
Don't fail to be present at the inception
Of the greatest undertaking ever attempted
in Montgomery county for the good Of the
whole community.

VANCE OF CENT A DAY.
EXPECTED TO DECREASE DEMAND
That in Turn May Have a Healthy
Effect on the Price Is Now More
Than Double the Price Regulated
BY the Food Administration. |

II the price Of sugar is an index
the people here have hardly begun to-
appreciate just what the high cost of
living means Within the past three
days the price of that staple commod-
ity has jumped cent day. On last
Saturday sugar was retailed in Column.
hi for nineteen cents a pound. On
Tuesday the wholesale price had gone
to twenty-five and twenty-five and
one-half cents per pound. Except
where grocers bought at the lower
prices this means that sugar will be
retailing in Columbia before the end
of the week at a quarter pound
which is a new record for this genera
ton.
During the war the price of sugar
was regulated by the food administers
ti0n and it retailed at around ten
cents a pound all over the nation
Since the sugar equalization board
ceased to function and the old law
of supply and demand, with demand
largely in excess of supply, came
once more into operation, the price
has steadily advanced until it is to-
day more than double the war time
price Before the beginning of the
European war in 1914 sugar retailed
in Columbia at around five and a
half to six cents, and even at as low
as five cents per pound. Sales of
twenty pounds of sugar for a dollar
was a common occurrence back in
those days.
1t is probable that the exceedingly
high cost of sugar will very materil-
~ interfere with the canning and
preserving of fruits. On the other
hand the decrease in the demand
may have the effect of lowering the
price, but it is generally agreed that
at the present prices less sugar will
be consumed here this summer than
is ordinarily the case.
