Sugar Supply
Quite Ample

Washington, Sept. Sin response
. lluillcrous inquiries with respect
to the existing sugar situation, the
Sugar Division OIL the Department
of Agriculture announced today that
supplies Of sugar available for the
UnIted States are ample for all re-
quirementS Of consumers.
The total stocks of sugar in the
United States held by cane refiners
and importers on July 81 aggregated
,035,000 tons, as compared with
$4,000 tons at the same time last
year In addition to these cane sugar
stocks, beet sugar factories had 725,-
900 tons of sugar on hand as COM
pared with 100000 tons last year.
Indications are that the sugar crops
in the domestic areas are more than
ample to meet their quotas Futher-
more, the ever normal granary prin-
cipal has been applied to the sugar
program SO that ample reserves are
available for marketing should it be
found necessary to increase quotas
The total quantity of such reserves
is estimated at 100000 tons in the
domestic areas. Large reserve sup
plies can also be obtained from Cuba
and other Latin-American countries
The Secretary of Agriculture is
authorized, under the Sugar Act, to
increase the quotas which the various
areas, including foreign areas, may
sell in the United States, in order
to meet consumers needs. Or of the
occasion should arise, quotas may
be suspended altogether.
The sugar quota for consumption
m the United States during 1899
was established at 6,755, ,486 short
tons on March Is, 1916. Some groups
in the sugar industry have contend
ed that this estimate was in excess
of consumers needs.
There is no justification for con-
sumner boarding of sugar for fear
that the supplies of sugar available
for consumers in the United States
are not ample to meet all needs.

The German forces approaching

From the western front, facing

OTHERS VIEWS
RUTHLESS KILLING OF DOGS BY
OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT.


To the Editor:
1t seems that there are policemen
who glory in slaughtering every dog
they possibly can. They feel they
have done the town a good deed
when they ruthlessly and thought
lessly shoot in cold blood someone's
pet dog.
This is exactly what happened on
a West End street Wednesday night
when a policeman off duty took upon
himself fullauthority to kill our collie
dog Queen, known all over West End
as a devoted lover of children. Queen
had been raised with our boys, she
had never been known to harm any
one. Had she been vicious dog run
ming at large we would have been
the first to approve this action.
1t seems there are plenty Of half
starved stray dogs which probably
would be better off if put to death
mercifully. But why not have city
pound for them and let them remain
there for a few days before dispos-
ing of them No, they must kill them
they ask no questions. They care
not whether it's we'll fed, well kept
collie or plaln cur UO8. IL S JuIn an
old dog to them.
Again we say-Queen was well
known. Who has not seen her riding
on the running board of our car.
Why, policeman, didn't you give us
a chance to save her by inquiring
before you took such hasty action?
If this will save some other house
hold pet, then this article will be
we'll worth the space taken

strangely appetizing now, she dis
covered. Shot ate some Of it for his
own nourishment, too, but left the
candy for her. They had belt can
teens.
He was gone and out of sight
before she fully realized it.
Alone now for the first time since
leaving the Brazee household, Lo-
rena Hamilton had figuratively to
pinch herself. She was rather badly
confused, wondering why in the
world she had ever been so anxious
to trek away back into this wilder
ness, wondering indeed whatever
kind Of fate had dictated such a
summer of adventure for her to
date. Danger threatened a.. around
her. She had endured hardships,
and certainly faced still more. And
yet-tilere was lightness in her
heart, a strange spiritual glow
which spelled no less than happi-
ness. Danger? What of it?
.. Hardship? What Of
that, too? Lorena was not afraid.
Not afraid. She was just anxious
for the moment at dawn when Shot
Rogers should return. She was
thinking of hin-never dreaming
that she could sleep a wink-when
her physical being took charge and
she went to sleep there on the
high, cool ground.
IT guess" said Sally Brazee,
that they just decided to stay in
town over night. It's quite a trip
in, George, and if Lorena was hav-
ing trouble with her teeth she'd
want to have the dentist job all
done before she come back out"
"Yep, that's So" her husband
agreed.
II do wish she wouldn't just dash
off such a way, though. declare,
if she amt my own niece! We used
to act that way, in Kentucky. Papa
raised us girls to look out for our
selves, and We"
"And yol. done so, Sally" George
Brazee put in, admiringly. "Now
you take Lorena. She enabled us
to size her up the first day she
come here"
"You mean"
"Shore! Didn't a bunch of Mex
ican thieves lasso her and try to
kidnap her? They could have
claimed fat ransom. And, BY lordy,
didn't she give them the slip her
self? Spun!xiest piece Of business ]
ever heard Of! I been 'clling it.
Every man I meet has to talk
about it now. It's all over the coun-
Henderson daily dispatch., 1939-09-08

try. expect. Every man l know
is in love with her."
"Well-"
"You take young Shot Rogers.
You notice he's acting altogether
different from what he used to. He
don't hardly ever say such things
as amt any more, Sally. He keeps
his face shaved, and his hair slicked
down, and the manure off his boots
and chaps when he rides. He picked
flowers for Lorena and had to whip
half the bunk house with his fists
to make them stop razzing him."
George, want her to take up
with Jerry, though. Wouldn't you?"
George Brazee turned to look at
his wife. He sat in their bedroom,
his shoes off and his shirt off, and
his long nightgown hanging con-
veniently on another chair. It was
after 9:3O and he was about to go
to bed.
"Why, Sally gal, it's not for me
to say. Not for us. Lorena's grown.
She's able to take care of herself.
I-well, Jerry's got big good points.
But that young bucks got lot to
learn, let me tell you. doubt Lo-
renal be willing to teach him. Or
able"
"You think she prefers Shot ?"
"She's prob'ly got sweetheart
in Kentucky. Back home"
Sally Brazee pondered that. She
was taking down her hair-long,
thick, brown hair with considerable
trimmings" in gray, as George
expressed it. She would presently
have it done up in comfortable
knot for the night. She was al
ready in a rather voluminous
night gown Of her own
IT suppose so, George. But Jerry
is so handsome! And he's been to
college; he knows a lot Of things.
A girl ought to love an educated
man."
George answered that from in
side hia gown, his hands fumbling
comically for the sleeves. Through
the cloth he spoke to her.
"Miz Brazee, ma'am, you didn't
marry no college man. No educat-
ed man."
"Why, yes, that's so. And I don't
regret it."
"Um. You let yore niece alone.
She amt going to pay you no mind
anyway. She knows what she's
doing"
In ten minutes George Brazes
was snoring.

POLISH ARMY WILL YET

Budapest, Sept. 8.-(AP)- The
Warsaw radio, silent yesterday, to-
day broadcast a statement that "the
Polish army will yet start its often
sive. The present retreat is for stra-
tegic reasons"
''The war will continue a long
time. The Poles will not capitulate.
We will fight to the finish. The
Polish air fleet is intact. The world
will understand this before long"
The broadcast asserted fiat the
