ty. We teachers have each year a
teachers convention at the county
seat and all directors are supposed to
be present, but usually only about ten
are present out of the whole county.
We had with us ut the convention
many fluent speakers among whom
were Honorable o L. Munger; also
we had with us some of the principals
of schools from other parts of the
state. We teachers can't appreciate
their speeches as we should for they
usually try telling us some uninter-
esting junk that we teachers know
by memory. l sometime wonder if
high school teachers think country
school teachers are insane. Patrons,
cooperate with your teacher; visit
your school, be helpful in all respects
to the u%pbuilding of your commmuni-
ty.

the avowed aim Of the propagandists
was to lift the price to 40 cents.
The admitted facts now are "a that
the 1920 crop Of sugar in the world
was more than equal to the world
consumption demands of the year
1920; CO. that there were several mil
Lion tons Of old crop sugar available
in Java, in Peru. in Brazil and else
where, when the year began.
There is now large surplus Of 1919
20 sugar In Cuba, with the new crop
coming on; and the new crop in Cuba,
as we'll as the world over, is likely to
be wonderfully large. The best recent
estimate Of the world sugar crop Of
1890 Is given as 81. as5. az, 900 pounds
while the same authority gives as its
estimate Of the 1se0-21 crop 40.272,-
$50, 200 pounds. or 1875. 274. 600 pounds
larger than the last crop. New
paintings Of cnno and larger acreages
OF sugar beets are reported from all
parts Of the World as contributing
factors in the crop soon to come upon
the market.
Perhaps tho result, after a few
months. will be q return to the good
old days" when sugar retained under
E cents q pound and all hands, pro-
ducers, refiners and retailers, made
what they considered living profits.
