sugars and $1.55 on the Cuban product. The Underwood tariff rate was SIPS against the world and $1 against Cuba. Under the Fordney emergency law of 1921 the full duty was set at $2 and the Cuban rate lifted to $1.60. The Ford ney schedules were incorporated in the McCumber -Fordney bill and sent to the senate floor by the senate finance com mittee. As they stood they made the rate about SO per cent higher than the Underwood tariff and some 20 per cent higher than the frankly and drastically protective rates of Payne. Even this was not enough for the sugar senators. They tackled thirty cents more per 100 pounds on the world rate and twenty four cents more on Cuban sugar.
 America, with all It's continental pos sessions, does not raise half the sugar which it uses Cuba has sent us an- nuaIly half million more tons than all we grow. On the major part of the su- gar used here we must now pay these drastically increased duties. The steady tendency of the domestic supply will be to rise to the price of imported sugar. That Is one of the effects of tariffs. That will mean millions of dollars from the pockets of American consumers for the benefit of the sugar planters of Loui- siana and the sugar-beet growers of the west and north. The effect of the Nc Cumber tariff with it's Shoot amend ment will be to lift the price. By the time this s2.so reaches the consumer it may be pyramidled to as much as s5 per 100 pounds. It will hit the confection- cry and other industries, but its heav- fest blow will fall upon the tables oi America.
 Senator Reed Shoot may have done 3 fine thing for the sugar-beet men and the sugar-cane planters and for tht Utah-Idaho syndicate but he has har- pooned the American pocketbook, laid an indefensible tax on the American ta ble

 To do any kind of work, or to play for that matter, is next to impossible if you are suffering from some form of female trouble. It may cause your back or your legs to ache, it may make you nervous and irritable. You may be able to keep up and around, but you do not feel good.

As the telegram stating at what

ALBANIA REvIVNG
FORMER HOPE FOR
u. S. RECOGNITION

or recognition Dy the Unlteu otAIeS
has been revived with the visit here
of Maxwell Blake, formerly consul
general in Morocco, who was sent
by the American state department
to report upon! the political situa-
ton. Since it's admittance to the
League of Nations IS months ago,
Albania has been striving hard to
establish a stable government and
to win the confidence And respect
Of the nations of the world.
Many of the European countries
have recognized, Albania as a ma
ton, and the natives cannot under
stand why the United States has
not followed suit. Albania supports
consul at New York, who looks
after Albania's commercial inter-
ests. issues visas for passports, ETC.,
but who is not recognized officially
by the state department.
Albania is extremely poor and
primitive, and will require friend
ly support from Europe and Amer
fca if it is to retain its statehood
and national entity. 1t is smaller
in area than the state of Vermont,
and has less people than the city Of
Boston. Mohammedans and Chris
tians are about equally represented
in it's million and a half population.
While the Albanians have many
failings, due to centuries Of evil
influence by invaders. honesty and
fidelity are strong traits in their
character. They are hearty, hos
pitable people. Visitors to their
country, especially Americans who
have been so sympathetic toward
them in their struggle for national
existence. are treated with the ut
most cordially.
