Judge Dimond Will
Step Down From
Bench i'm March

ANCHORAGE - Anthony j.
Dimond, Third Division district
judge for the past eight years, re-
vealed that he plans to return to
private practice here in March.
The judge pointed out that his
four year term ends Feb. %, and
said he thought it wise, with the
change in administration, to make
other plans for himself.
Republican party leaders are
known to have told the judge they
would support him for another
term, but it seems unlikely that
he would accept it even if offered.
Son Will Join Him
Judge Dimond said that his son,
John, now assistant attorney gen.
era1 for the territory, will come
to Anchorage and enter practice
with him.
During his eight years service
on the bench, the judge has be-
come widely known for his HUI
manitarian philosophers. Especially
hopeful of reforming the young
criminal, he has given many
words of advice to youths who
were being given just zone more

Longtime Resident
The judge has been in the ter
ritory since around 1900, prospec-
ted and mined from 1904 to 1912,
and has been in practice of law

His career has included being

It's Used For A Lot OF
Things Besides Sweetnin'
Plain Old Sugar, That Is

Here are some little known
facts about sugar-the most pro-
duced and cheapest organic ma
terial in the world.
Completely pure substances are
not known to chemistry, but of all
common compounds, familiar
sugar is the purest, averaging
over 99.9 per cent pure sucrose.
Sugar is used as a raw material
in more than 81 industries. For
instance: 1t takes 900 pounds of
sugar to produce the explosives to
fire one round from modern
battleship's sixteen-inch gun.
An acre of sugar cane or beet
produces enough calories to sup
ply $500 people with their full
quota for full day.
All vegetables products were at
one time sugar in the leaves of
green plants and is the starting
material for the starch in pota-
toes, the cellulose and ignin of
wood, the protein of wheat-even
the aroma of flowers and the
opium of poppy.
Sugar can be obtained from al
most every green plant; it ac-
counts for most Of the nutritive
value of common fruits.
Pound for pound, sugar is the
cheapest source of food energy.
The world production Of sugar
is about IS million tons annually
enough to fill box the size of
a football field and six miles high.
