SUGAR CONTROL SAVED MILLIONS

American Consumer Profited by 1190,000,000 French Situation Helped. HOME PRICE HELD AT 9 CENTS. 'O «I ■— Thio Nation’s Sugar Supply Reduced to Seventy Per Cent of Normal. Java Stock* Unavailable. ■agar control has saved the America* public $180,000,000, Herbert Hoover, United States feed administrator, declared the other day. He pointed out that sugar was seUlag mr 11 cents a pound last August and that It would have advanced to 20 coats a pound, with the world shortage a* a stimulus, had not the food administration secured the co-opera-tion of the refiners and wholesalers and fixed a sugar price that today enable* housewives to buy sugar at from to 9 cents a pound. “Every 1 cent raise in sugar from September 1 to January 1 means $lB,000,000 to the American consumer,” Mr. Hoover said. “Numbers of gentlemen will tell you that 20 cent sugar would have prevailed and the public robbed of $180,000,000 thia year if we had not taken these actions.” Later Mr. Hoover called attention to the faet that uncontrolled sugar advanced to M cents a pound during th* Civil War. France ©ot Our Sugar. ■today the American public has been TO per cent, of It* normal supply. Before th* war the average annual household consumption here was 06 pound* a person In England the annual consumption during the war is 24 pound*, and In France each person 1* allotted a little over on* pound a month. " "I* August the French government found itself unable to maintain even this ration,” Mr. Hoover declared. “An ° appeal was made to America. France needed 100,000 ton*. We agreed to fill this demand and *p to December had shipped 85,426 ton*. In th* meantime an appeal wa* made to th* American public to reduce it* sugar consumption, and request* were mad* to distributors to supply th* confectionary and sweet drinks trade with 50 per cent of normal supply. This has been generally followed, although such regulations were voluntary, as the food administration had no authority to impose them.” Domestic Frio* Is Bpi to • Cent*. Retail grocers throughout the country ar* supposed to take a profit of no mor* than 50 cent* a hundred —half a eent a pound —on sugar. By reason of food administration regulations,. binding refiners and wholesalers, th* retailer Is able today to buy sugar at from 8 to 8)6 cent* a pound. This enable* him to sell to the housewife at 8% to • cents a pound. There have been some violations of the sugar rulings. Mr. Hoover said recently: “Sales of sugar from 16 to >0 cents per pound have been reported and followed up vigorously and stopped and is evidence itself of the prices at which consumers would have been mulet had we not intervened. We have forfeited wholeealers’ licenses In aggravated cases, and we have Issued warning* to first offenders In a great many Instance* through our local administrators." Effect on Military Situation. American sugar stocks could be filled to normal very soon if ships could be sent to Java, where 250,000 tons of sugar is waiting for shipment But th* shipping situation Is so acute that th* nation cannot spar* the eleven ships needed to transport this sugar. It would take the boats one year to haul 250,000 tons; In the same time they could be used for transporting 200,000 soldiers to France. The food administration believes that the American public will diminish Its sugar consumption by 10 or 15 per cent when it Is made clear that such sugar saving Is a patriotic act and when it is understood that there are plenty of sweeteners available to take the. place of sugar, such as honey or corn syrup. Why Shortage Exist*. Th* three great sugar producing centers of th* world are Germany, th* West and East Indies. German sugar Is, of course, used at home. The East Indian sugar 1* unavailable because of the ship shortage. While U boats made big Inroads on th* world’s shipping, France and Italy ceased to be self sustaining In sugar manufacture. England In the meantime wa* cut off from German su&ar — 1,400,000 ton* a of the war. The result has been that the allied nations have been forced to turn to America and the West Indies for their sugar.

EVADE RIGID FOOD CONTROL.

Feed Is Bought In Germany Surrept*- \ tlouely In Violation of Autocratic Rulings. Ry on the autocratic food control of Germany has been powerless to prevent surreptitious sales, according to sand-official reports reaching the United States food administration. Illegal sales of butter are being made In Germany at prices ranging from $1.75 to >2.25 a pound. Eggs sold contrary to the German food regulations are bringing 10 to 15 cents apiece, according to these reports. And bacon or ham 1s bringing from S2J6 to 6&36 a

The condition of Henry Purcupile remains about the same today. / Miss Jean Jones went to Brazil, where she will spend two weeks with relatives and friends. Tull Malone was called to Buffalo, White county, today on account of the very serious sickness of his sister. Last night was not quite so cold as it predecessors, the government thermometer registering but three degrees below zero. George Lowman who has been here to see his brother, Harvey Lowman, returned to his home in Amboy. . . The DeMette correspondent of the Wheatfield Review says that “it is rumored that one of Rensselaer’s popular young men will this week lead one of our fair young ladies to the matrimonial altar.” W. D. Meyers, of Wheatfield, and a brother of George F; Meyers of this city, came to Rensselaer Tuesday to attend the funeral of William Shirer today. Mr. Meyers states that the early freeze last fall destroyed his sevty-five acres of corn, but that he had a splendid oat crop. Indications are that employes of the Monon railroad roundhouse will be granted an increase of 10 cents an hour in wages soon. Many of the mechanics are giving up their positions to accept work in munition plants and other industries paying more money. Evidently the wa- times have struck some one in this city pretty hard financially. During the past several weeks The Republican office has been visited numerous times by somi pettv thief, v. ho -ias helped h miclf to ti e office light globes. Tight globes cost money and we do wish that our unwelcome visiter would go to the drug stores to secure his globes. The Republican linotype machine has been crippled for the past few days, and as a result considerable news matter has had to go to the boards, as it has been impossible to get it into type. The machine was idle for several hours this morning and it has been almost impossible to get out a paper today. The necessary | repairs are expected to arrive from Chicago soon, after which we will be able to give you a mere newsy paper. Professional fords Dr. E. C.

There were about 1000 ears of corn shown and about 100 birds. The seed corn and poultry auction held in the afternoon of the last day was very successful. The success of the show is largely due to the fact that it was backed by the business men of the town and who supported it financially.” J. D.
