Rationing has brought many problems
to all, whether it be the housewife pro-
viding food for her family or the man
of the house getting gasoline and tires
to take him to work
Sugar was the first commodity ra-
toned and may very we'll be the last one
to be taken off the ration list. The rea-
sons are quite simple. First, about rs
per cent of the sugar used in the United
States prior to the war came from out
side this country under quota system.
This left the balance, or Is per cent, to
be produced in the United States and
this amount is largely sugar from sugar
beets, although there is some cane sugar
produced in Louisiana and Florida.
Second, the offshore supplies have been
greatly curtaileS by lack of shipping and
also loss of islands such as the Philip
pines.
The production of sugar beets has
Jagged very much during the past three
years due to high prices paid for other
farm crops supported by better subsidies,
with the result that we now find sugar
to be one of the few farm crops that is
not facing huge surplus.
Sugar as a food is more or less taken
for granted by us all and we don't think
very much about it until We can't get
all we want. The housewife needs it
for canning and preserving food, for
pies, cakes etc. The children, yes, even
grownups, need it for breakfast cereals
to make them tasty Then there is the
commercial Gamer, the soft drink bot
tier, the baker, the druggist, the candy
maker and a long list of other users of
sugar as food.
Where does the sugar used in Montana
come from? A large part of the sugar
used in Butte and western Montana is
produced from sugar beets grown right
here in your own western part of Mon
tana; produced by the American Crystal
Sugar company at Missoula who make
Montana labor news., 1944-12-21

In 1923 it was again opened and has
been in continual operation ever since
The acreage steadily increased each year
until 1941, when the government cur
tailed acreage that could be planted to
sugar beets very drastically. Since that
year we have been at war, but still the
acreage is climbing back to where it
should be for efficient operations.
Sugar beets are well adapted to Mon
tana climate and are one of the few
crops that are processed here within the
state.
An increase acreage means more en-
ployment for our factory labor, more
for the coal and lime rock miners, more
railroad work, more work on farms, more
work making fertilizer and a generally
more prosperous western Montana.
It also means more and better beef

crop of sugar beets and to convert
these beets into sugar. For example,
many tons of fertilizer-both phosphate
and nitrogen-are needed to produce a
good crop. Gasoline and oil are needed
to power farm equipment and trucks.
Coal and lime rock are needed in great
quantities by the factory to produce the
sugar. All of these commodities come
from Montana. which means employment
for still other industries.
The railroads and transport service
provide means of getting sugar beets
and supplies to the factory and taking
away the finished sugar and dried beet
pulp. This, too, provides work for labor
in still another field.
The sugar factory at Missoula, which
is the only one in western Montana, was
started in 1917 but worked only one year.

Indoctrination
Was shington Post)

1 -stt tWaSnlngUon POStb The problem of indoctrinating the armed forces with our war aims is bedeviled by the fear that the
 job might have political slant. But it cannot be baked on that account Our boys are now engaged in death grapple with Hiter's hordeS which to be speedily triumphant will require zeal of crusaders no less than fighting ability Evidently there is no such zeal in our Army H R. Knickerbocker on his return from the Italian front, reports that not American soldier in a hundred knows much about what the war is about To lesser extent this is likewise the case among the British. Both of them are fight ing we'll but not well the Americans in the Pacific or the Russians the Eastern Front or the Germans generally The Anglo American forces are said to think of the in terms of sport not in terms of civilization or even of survival. The wonder in these circumstances is not that our troops have not done better, but that they have done so well. For a thirst for sporting is not likely to be maintained when the last ounce of strength has been expended keeping offensive fluid and dynamic and the warrior has to draw upon spiritual reserves
 Yet there is lack of orientation courses in the armed forces, abroad well as at home The only complaint have heard is that there is conception in the camps of the way that lend-ease has become mutual aid Perhaps enough hasn't been done to educate the in armed forces about the nature of the furor teutoncus which justified present crusade. Perhaps something of the sort has been attempted If 1t has, MT. Knickerbockers account shows that little success has attended it What the in the fighting lines should understand is that we are fighting, MT. Chesterton would have put it. not a nation but notion The notion antedates 1870 but that the date when it came into focus In that year War Reich came into being, armed association which aimed at the subjugation of the entire world into the role of slaves to Geranc her
 renvolk. The record is complete enough to be inn parted to the troops in way that would breed conviction. 't@7 sss
 Such a course would do more than fire the zeal of armed forces for the fighting to come It would be sign and portent for the coming peace war waged sportingy is bound to end in soft peace and in another spell of national sleep while open-eyed conspiracy revves again in Germany. German plan ners counting upon such sloth in planning the next world war. They feel that their present ad- venture is lost Ask those who have investigated prison camps and they will tell you that the officer prisoners perfectly ready to admit eventual defeat But the acknowledgment has not disturbed their serenity For they have the faith that, though their present bid for world domination is doomed Germany will rise again in another generation, once more ready to challenge the world Such faith is a nystque that should be made known to our fighting forces that they will insist upon the shattering of the inner structure of the War Reich. lest it draw their children into worse horrors of than they themselves enduring

 A Republican-controlled leglsla- ture approved all his proposals.
 Dewey insisted on enactment of a law reapportioning New York congressional and Legislative dis tricts which many Democrats and some Republicans labeled unconsti- tutional New York's highest court later stamped it valid.
 On Dewey's recommendations ex- emptions and deductions from state income taxes were liberalized, a state program of child care de : veloped, salaries of state employees increased His farm labor recruit ing program put 10000 on farms last year.
 Dewey inherited $68,000, ,000 state treasury surplus from former Gov. Lehman. The amount has increased during his administra- tion and a law, enacted on his suggestion, locks up the whole for postwar reconstruction.

 FOURTH OPEN TO AL

The Annual Horseshoe Tourna : ment to be held July 4 in the Ever green Bowl will be the seventh consecutive tournament to be spon- sored by the Fourth Committee. The contest has always been held re- gardless of weather in the past, although in 1887 it was necessary to move into the Fair Building for the preliminary round because of rain.
 The annual tournament has all ways drawn a high class group of horseshoe tossers. Service men have dominated the field of entrants for the past two years and have walked away with most of the prizes.
 In l943, Private Fred Lovin, a visiting horseshoe finger from Sit- ka, won first honors by averaging nearly 65 per cent ringers through out his games. Soldiers from the Sitka area clipped in to finance his successful trip to Juneau. Lovin, who was from Portland, Oregon, has been transferred to foreign service
 In 1942 the tournament was won by Maestro Orville Hansen, Duck Creek soldier. Hansen was a former champion from Missouri and doubled at the violin at many public oc- 70 SiO,c j,, .Tllreai1 f fSf tf

Woman Fights Term
For Cruelty 10 Dogs

Mrs. Clara McCracken, Fairfax
County resident, convicted recently
on a charge of cruelty to animals
was free under $500 bond today after
appealing sentence of 80 days in
jail and $50 fine imposed by Judge
Harry L. Carrico in County Trial
Justice Court.
Mrs. McCracxen, who had failed in
an allotted two weeks to dispose of
30 dogs she kept at her home on the
old Mount Vernon highway, was
given a l5-day Jail term and fined
SIS on each of two charges of i'm
proper feeding and watering, and
other cruelties." She is scheduled
toappear at the September term OF
the Fairfax County Circuit Court tc
argue her appeal.
In court today, Glen U. Richard
Alexandria, attorney for Mrs. Nc.
Cracken, said his client would have
disposed of most of the dogs by now
had 1t not been for the inhumane
action OF the humane society" in
destroying some of the dogs 1t OBJ
tanned from Mrs. McCracken. On
cials of the Animal Welfare League
OF Arlington said last week some OF
the dogs had been destroyed because
they were seriously i'll.
County officials said the Animal
Welfare League, which brought the
cruelty charges, probably would take
over any remaining dogs if Mrs. Nc
Cracken should 60 to jail next

Planned After War

Preliminary work has been COM
pleted for the stratosphere ascent
planned by Maj. Eduardo diverse
and Father Ignacio Puig to beat all
previous altitude records, it is re-
vealed in Buenos Aires. War forced
postponement of the flight, but IL
will be carried out when peace per-
mits.
Maj. Olivero says that 8 or 10
months of experimental flights with
smaller balloons will be necessary
to test the various instruments
transmitting sets and sound-track
apparatus, before he actually at
tempts to reach 100000 feet. He
thinks 1t may be possible to under
take these flights before the war
ends.
The main ascent will be from
Mendoza. Calculations allow for
a drift of 500 miles, and the balloon
probably will come down in Entire
