SCHOOLS RECEIVE MONEY
FROM, GAME PROTECTION FUND

S The schools of Lexington county
have received the sum of s1S2S.65
for the year just passed. This little
less than last year but it shows what
the sale Of hunting licenses means to
the schools. The County Game war
den, Joseph NJ. Caughman, has
worked hard to see that the laws We're
obeyed and that those who hunted
paid for license tNine-t"entleths
of the gross receipts Tor licenses come
hack to the schools. Every time a
hunting license is. purchased the
schools are helped. 1t is the duty OF
every citizen and school patron to
see that every hunter buys his license
for by this act he has helped the
schools of the county.

ENORMOUS CONSUMPTION OF
SUGAR in THE UNITED STATES

One of the best signs of returning
prosperity is increased American and
Foreign demand for sugar.
At the close Of the first quarter of
the year a carry-over of more than a
million tons held in Cuba on January
first has been almost entirely dsi-
persed.
Normal supplies from current crops
have been absorbed and the market in
spite of all this, shows no sign of be-
ing satiated, but displays ever ~increas-
ing strength.
The record of the year to date is
a truly remarkable one. In three
months Cuba has shipped slightly over
1,9OO,O 900 long tons of old and new crop
sugar, of which 1,4OO,OOO tons have
gone to the United States and 500, 600
IONS have gone to other parts of the
world, mainly, of course, to Europe.
Of the amount received by the Unit
ed States, which equivalent to 1,3OO,-

BADGER NOTES

several days, not only delayed seed
ing, but people so far back with their
work that they can't put in the acre
age that they intended to. But tive

moisture.
Mesdames Collins and Dyer took in
the Hospital Day fete last Monday.
They report things in fine working
order there.
Mr.. and Mrs. Pete Hopstad and fam
lily visited at August Lund's last Sun

On account of the high waters, Miss

900 tons, refined basis, over 200, 900
tons have been re-exported, leaving
nearly 100000 tons for distribution
through domestic trade channels.
In addition to imports from Cuba
the United States has received during
this period about $4,000 IONS of full
duty and Philippine sugars, about 2OO,-
900 tons from Hawaii and Porto Rico
and something over 400, 900 tons of
beet and Louisiana production, making
a total of about 100000 tons.
This is a far greater quantity of
sugar than ever before has been alb
sorbed by this market during the cor
responding period of any year.
The American beet sugar industry
is fighting for it's existence against
tropical cane sugar produced by the
cheapest class of labor. Without rea-
sonable tariff protection, it cannot
meet this competition with American
wages.
