HARRY A. WHITE LAID TO
REST WITH SPLENDID HoNoRs

One of the most impressive funeral
services it has ever been our lot to
witness was that of Harry Allen
White. younger son of Mrs. Margaret
A. White, who was Delta's one prec.
ious sacrifice on the battle fields of
France, his death occurring on No
vember IL, 1918. five days after he
had received an apparently slight
wound.
The American Legion, named in his
honor. formed a military escort, and
members of the Woman's Relief Corps
and Elks' lodge also attended in a
body. The Baptist church was filled
to capacity and nearly seventy cars
formed the cortege to the cemetery
The pail bearers were selected from
the members of the seth Division,
who had been with Harry during. the
last stand. They were Charles ].
Adams. Aubrey Bohnet. John Haze
lett, Tom Layden, Luke Z. Meyer,
all of Delta, and Sidney J. Mcintyre
of Hotchkiss.

Harry wanted to come home. His
last words to his mother as he left her
were: Don't worry. mother. for I'm
coming home" And his last message
When he sailed from New York were:

then that the wonderful mother asked
to have his body returned home.
Oh. there is a beautiful sentiment
connected with Flanders Fields"
They are only sacred because they
have been censecrated with the blood
of Americas manhood. but in the
mind of the wroter there is sweeter,
holier place in which the soldier
finds his last resting place-''in the
land of the free and the home Of the

In a chat with one of Wall Streets thinkers and dOerS-a democrat by the way-he re- marked to me the other day:
 Ire tariff put the marhe ct up when McKinlAy was Presi- dent. There is no tariff now to do it With Europe producing we must have d tariff, must have reduced labor costs and increased efficiency and lower taxes.
 I am told that fire brick com panies in St. Louis lave to pay negro labor S7 a day for wheel narrowing bricks to railroad cars. The negro is now paid DieceWork and wheels 90 to 100 bricks per load, whereas before on day work, he would Wh eel but 40 to 50.
 He earns S6 to $7 and stops about 3 D. m These same ne- groes used to get $l.75 to S2 25 day befoh de war, '>then $3.5O and would not work, so they were put on piece work with above results.
 We can't stand this sort of thing and compete with Europe when she comes back We must have a high tariff or be swamped."

The Sugar Situation.

The London Times trade supplement
Of May p, reports that the German
sugar beet crop for 1920, will ulti-
mately turn out 100000 long tons OF
sugar as against the previous year
which gave a total of l,le3,000 long
tons. From this we see that that sec
tion Of the German beet sugar crop,
known as such, turns out for the sea
son now closing $4,000 tons less than
the crop last year. Lest we forget, let
us remember that Cuban crop viii turn
out $50, 1000 less than was expected on
December !, 1919, and over 100000 tons
less than the crop of the previous year.
Java turns out over 100000 tons less
than the previous year, and Willett &
GRAY now estimate the decrease in the
worlds sugar production at 1881 600
long tons, as compared with that Of
last year. Under these conditions IL
would seem simply absured to look for
low-priced sugars The Gamers and
preservers, who were so forward with
their threats a few months ago that
they frightened Secretary Palmer into
negotiations with Argentina for a Ger.
tain amount of sugar for their relief,
will now probably miss their Argentine
supply, as the present dispatches are
10 the effect that the Argentine govern
ment has placed an embargo on all
sugar shipments. What sugar Argen.
tina has, il now appears, she intends
to keep. If in the face of these data
the Cubans, who have sugar, are charged
with the great crime Of asking higher
prices for II. then all the world is
equally criminal, il we may Judge BY
the prices OF wheat, Of corn, cotton,
etc. and yet we hear no complaint
