HEARN Editor and Publisher. AIDING THE ENEMY Those members of Congress whf seem never so happy as when eriti cising the administration and the con duct of the war should read who! Victor Morgan says: "There is one kind of America! news that the German newspaper: print in full. That is news that ha: to do with charges against the admin istration, investigations, or o'he. items that would indicate that Ame rica is not unitedly in the war." Victor Morgan is editor of thi Cleveland, (Ohio) Press. He wen! to Europe to lind out what is goinj on in Germany. He went to Swit serland and was near enough to thi border of Germany to get news fron German papers and from othei sourcoH. The paragraph we havi printed from one of his letters ough to put the blush of shame on thi cheek of those congressmen who art harping continually on what the} claim to be mistakes of the udminis tration. Come to think of it, gues.the cheek or these criticising con gressmen has become so hardened that a blush could not originate fron that source. The New York World, referring tt these criticisms says: "They are worse than nonsense They are malicious. Our govern ment has acted with the greatest en ergy since February and before tha date. Everything that has been don< in a military way has been alonj lines suggested by the best minds it our army. We nave had thousand of our best troops in France sine dune and we are sending many mor< to France every month." THE KAISER'S PURPOSE Those who claim that this countr should not have declared war upo Germany may not know that th Kaiser said to Ambassador Gerar that when he should have whippe England and France he would giv attention to America. The Unite State would be attacked on the ore text that it had supplied the allie with money and munitions and b oompelled to pay an indemnity tha would make Germany the riehest na tion in the world in spite of her enoi mous losses. The wealth o'.' the Uni ted States is a tempting prize fo Germany. Our cities, towns and vil lanes, homes and farms would b treated as Belgium was treated an< with far richer reward to the inva der. It is far better to fight Ger many with the aid of the Allies thai to fight her alone ntul on our soil. UNFIT MADE FIT From The Columbia Record: A decision of the highest impor t*_nce is announced by Gen. Crowde i:i the new rules governing classifies tion of registrants in the selecth draft. Fit men are to be made on of the unfit; and men who cannot b useful in trenches are to have an op portunity to serve their country ii other ways, releasing stronger men. TUrt .r ? m ?*: icuui uuii ui minimum riei^n to 58 inches and of weight to 101 pounds will of itself greatly inereas the available number of young mei in good health. Flat feet and othe impediments to marching under hea vy burdens are not incapacitatinj for army office work. There remains a considerable clas of the slightly upfit who can be mad< fit. Here the advice given with ener gy and ability by Dr. John H. Quayb of Cleveiand is to be followed in nl our camps and the average health o: the nation must greatly benefit. Bat teeth can be filled and supplemented Deficient lung capacity can be devel oped. Eyesight can be improved 01 assisted. Slouching men of 21 car usually be made an inch taller b] suitable exercise. "if the regenerative power of goot food, air and exercise is made full] available to many thousands of mei in the second rank of physical fit ness," say the New York World, "th< nation will gain an increment o1 strength and self-confidence that wil be some compensation for the crue losses of battle. Death for some for some, healing heightened power? auch will prove to be the lottery of the war." m The army is (loin# wonders for the men who have been selected. 'Iheir physical fitness is a splendid thing to look upon. Hut the great good that the war may do for weaklings is to let them know that they arc weak? yet may become strong. Too many men go through life inefficient or partly efficient because they do not know what is the matter with their bodies. The world looks upon them as failures and as incompetents, when really they ore handicapped by disease. ? mmrnmmmmmmsmtaBaessmmtmmmmmmmm TANLAC PROVED TO BE A FNE REMEDY MRS. WORTHEY SAYS SHE GLAD.

AMERICAN SUGAR SENT TOJRANCE American Price Rigidly Regulated by United States Food Administration. CONSUMERS HERE PAY 9c. Sugar Coat 35 Cent* a Pound During Civil War?Refiners' Profits Now Curtailed. 8ugar la selling today throughout iVuierlca at from 8% to 9 cents a louud to the consumer, even though here la a world shortage which has educed this nation's sugar allotment ;o 70 per cent, of normal. Through the efforts of the United Stutcs food administration the sugar uarket hns been regulated as far an he producer, refiner and wholesaler s concerned. The food administration lias no power to regulate retail prices i-xcept by public opinion. Even though more than 85,000 tons of sugar have i?een shipped to France In the last four months the retail grocer's sugar [>rlce Is around 8 to 8\4 cents. He should sell this sugar at 8V4 to fi ents, the food administration believes, ind asks the American housewife to ay no more than this amount. Lnst August when the food adminstrutlon was organized the price ol sugar rose suddenly to 11 cents a [round. During the Civil War sugar oat the consumer 85 cents a pound lly regulation of the augnr mnrket and reducing the price to 8% and 11 cents tnd keeping It front advancing to 2C ents the food administration has sav ?d the American public at least $180, 100.00O in four months, according to i statement made by Herbert Hoovei be other day. "It Is our stern duty to feed the al lea, to maintain their health and ttrengtb at any cost to ourselves," Vfr. Hoover declared. "There has not teen, nor will be as we see It, enough tugar for even their present meagre inn oepressing rnxion unless tney sent] ihlps to remote markets for It If vrt n our greed anil gluttony force them Ither to further reduce their ration >r to send these ships we will have lone damage to oar abilities to win his war. "If we send the ships to Java for 250,000 tons of sugar next year we will have necessitated the employment of eleven extra ships for one year. These ships?If used In transporting troops?would take 150,000 to 200,000 men to France." Reason for World 8hortage. As Mr. Hoover pointed out, the United States, Canada and England were sugar Importing countries before the war, while France and Italy wert very nearly self supporting. The mnlr sources of the world's sugar supplj was Germany uud neighboring powers the West Indies and the East Indies. Gerinun sugar Is no longer available i>8 It Is used entirely In Germany which also absorbs sugnr of surround Ing countries. England can no longer buy 1,400,00( long tons of sugar each yeur from tlermany. The French sugar produe tlon has dropped from 750,000 to 210, >00 tons. The Italian production has fallen from 210,000 tons to 75,000 tons Thus three countries were throwt upon East and West Indian source; for 1,025,000 tons annually to malntalt 'heir uormul consumption. Because of the world's shlpptn; shortage the allied nations stnrtei drawing on the West Indies for sugar East Indian sugar took three time: he number of ships, since the dls nnce was three times ns great. Hud denly the west was ru"-?d on to fur ulsh snd did furnish 1,420,000 tons ot mgnr to Europe when 2?<0 000 tons ? venr was the pre-war Ceiaand. Th< allies had diawn from .lava 400,00? ons before the shipping si .union be ame acute. "In spite of these shipments," Mr Hoover stated the other day, "flu English government In August reducei he household sugar ration to ii bash >f 24 pounds >er annum per cnpitn \nd In September the French govern merit reduced their household ratloi *o l.'t 2-10 pounds n year, or a hit ovei I pound of sugnr a month. Even thb meagre rntlon eonld not he filled hj the French government It was founi' "nrly In the fall. America was then inked for 100.000 tons of sugar anil mceeeded In sending 85.000 tons by December 1. The French request win ;rMnted because the American house 'iold consumption was then at least 5J1 rounds per person, and It was eonsld rod the duty of maintaining the sVench morale made our course clear." Today the sugar situation may be summarized by stating that If Amerloa will reduce Its sugar consumption 10 to 15 per cent, this nation will be able to send 200,000 more soldiers to France. Sugar today sella at seaboard re Inerles at $7.25 a hundred Dounda Die wholesale grocer has agreed to ln.lt Ids profit to 25 cents a hundred ?lus freight, aud the retail grocer U tupposed to take no more than 50 ceuti i hundred pounds profit. This regu utIon was made by the food admlnls* ration, which now asks the housewife reduce sugar consumption as much < possible, using other sweeteners, tin) also reminds her that she should fiey no more than 0 cents a pound foi ?u?ar. Contrri of Cant Refiners' Profits. "Immediately upon the establish mont of the food administration." Mr CAT POND SCHOOL On Friday night, Feb. 8, a box jpper was given for thebenefit of le Cat Pond school. The people sponded liberally. The supper relinded us of the past. There were vo beautiful cakes voted off, one for >e prettiest girl, the other for the gliest man. Mr. Brunson Teal was te fortunate man. The amount liged was thirty-five dollar and venty cents. There was no expense snse. Hoover Mid, **an examination was ! made of the coats and profits of refining and It was finally determined that the spread between the cost of raw and the sale of refined cane sugar should be limited to $1.30 per hundred I pounds. The pre-war differential had averaged about 85 cents and Increased coats were found to have been Imposed by the war In Increased cost of refining, losses, cost of hogs, labor, Insur- * I unce, Interest and other things, rather more than cover the difference. After prolonged negotiations the refiners were placed tinder agreement establishing these limits on October 1, and anything over thla amount to be agreed I extortionate under the law. "In the course of these Investigations It was found by canvass of the Cuban producers that their sugar had, during the first nine months of the past year, Rold for an average of about > 1.21 p.-r hundred f. o. b. Cuba, to n.wl fpnlnlil A *1.1 Alt In HlO 1 Termors' eosf amount to nbout $5.00 1 per hundred. The average sale price >f g'-nnulated by various refineries, aceir?Vni: to nor Investigation. was nbout I 7.r>0 per hundred. or n differential of $1.81. "'n reducing the differential to $1.30 th -e wns n snvlnc to the public of 54 roe's per hundred. Had nueh n dlfferentlnl b<n?p In tise from the 1st of | .Tn??"nrv. 1017. the public would hnve j enve?l In the flrst n'ne months of the . yenr nbout $24,800 000." Next Year. With a view to more efficient organization of the trade In Imported sugars next yeur two committees have been . ? formed by the food administration: 1. A committee comprising repre- m sentntlves of all of the elements of ll American cane refining groups. The Ml principal duty of this committee Is to H divide the sugar Imports pro rata to | H their varie is capacities and see that E absolute Justice Is done to every re- K& finer. BR 2. A committee comprising three rep- RS resentatlves of the KugllKh, French B and Italian governments; two repre- |' sentatlves of the American refiners, I with a member of the food udinlnlstra- j ? j tlon. Only two of the committee have I U arrived from Europe, but they repro- i *t sent the allied government?. The du- 5 ties of this committee are to determine j 3 the most econonilenl sources from a 5 transport point of view of all the al- \ lies to arrange transport at uniform L rates, to distribute the foreign sugar ! between the United States and allies, \ subject to the approvul of the Ainerlcan, Kngllsh, French and Italian go . B3 ernments. B This committee, while holding strong B views as to the price to be paid for B Cuban sugar, has not had the final || voice. This voice has rested In the Ifj governments concerned, together with 1 frgj the Cuban government, and I wish to xj state emphatically that all of the gen- SB | tleiuen concerned us good commercial Ite j men .have endeavored with the utmost En I patience and skill to secure a lower |j| ! price, und their persistence has re- ff ' duced Cuban demands by 15 cent? per hundred. The price agreed upon is Pj ! about $4.60 per hundred pounds, f. o. b. KPj ' Cuba, or equal to about $6 duty paid fgj 1 New York. I? "This pries should eventuate," fa Mr. Hoover said, "to about $7.30 per hundred for refined sugar from n-J the refiners at seaboard points or should place sugar In the hands of H5 the consumer at from B'/t to 9 ft , : cents per pound, depending upon locality and conditions of trade, or ss at from 1 to 2 cents below the prices of August last and from one- ? half to a cent per pound cheaper than today. I "There Is now an elimination of speculation, extortionate prolits, and In the refining alone the American I people will Have over $115,000,000 of ; (he refining charges lust year. A purt I of those savings goes to the Cuban, ; Hawaiian, I'orto Hlcaii and Ix>uslanlun i producer and part to the consumer. "Appeals to prejudice agulust the '' id administration have been made iM'uuae the Cuban price Is 34 cents f above that of 1017. It Is suld In effect > that the Cubans are at our mercy; ' that we could get sugar a cent lower. ' , We made exhaustive study of the cost - of producing sugar In CubH last year through our own agents In Cuba, and . | we find It averages $3.30, while many | producers are at a higher level. We I | found that an nverage profit of at ; < least a cent per |>ound was necessury t . j In order to maintain and stlmulute J production or that a minimum price of > \ j $4.37 was necessary, and even this |L r : would atllle some producers. ' : "The price ultlmntelv agreed was 23 ~ ' rents above these Hi/nrei. or niwuit nna. I : fifth of a cent per pound to the Amerl> : ran consumer, and more than this I amount has been saved t?y our redue' tton In refiners' profita. If we wlah to at I fie production In Cuba we could take that course Juat at the time of all t limes In our history when we wunt production for ourselves and the al? Ilea. Further than that, the state depart men t will assure you that such a . course would produce disturbances In Cuha and destroy even our present supplies, hut heyond all these material reasons la one of human Justice. This 1 great country has no rlKht by the J might of its position to strangle Cuha. . "Therefore there Is no Imposition tt|>on the American public Charges ? have been made before this commitI tee that Mr. Hoipli endeavored to henI eflt the California refinery of which he I was mannger by this 34 cent Increase In Cuban price. Mr flolph did not fix B ' the price. It does raise the price to1 l ' the Hawaiian farmer about that I i j amount. It does not raise the profit of i , I the California refinery, because their , I \ ehnrge for refining I* like nil other re- , wt 'I driers. limited to $1.30 per hundred )M>un<ln. plus the freight differential on j i .r este'.ilshed euHtoin of the trade, j "Mr Itolph him not one penny of Idr-rext in thin refinery." | 11 We are glad to nay that our nchool is on the improvement list.
