Rainbow Division Soldier Writes From the War Zone.

Willie Potts of Fair Oaks, one of the ten Jasper county boys wiho left Rensselaer last August andvere placed in the ‘‘Rainbow Division” of the U. S. Expeditionary forces, writes home under recent date; France, July 9, 1918. Dear folks: — , ... Well, 1 am. still well and getting your mail O. K. We are having a good imitation of summer here now, but one is never bothered wibti insomnia over here. One would think from what some write, back that th-.s is a real hell all over France. 1 will admit that it is a good imitation at times in some places, especially when one hears from a 30-30 to a 12-incher laying over a barrage for Fritzy. Just picture him when these are going over whistling, then a long drawn out .whine and the explosion —c-r-r-r-unnip —slhirapnel, gas, dirt and everything else trying to gnaw into his dugouts and many times they do eat through his house. In a case like this we would go for our dugouts until the shelling had ceased, for the efficiency of the American engineers have made them bomb and gas proof. This is sure an odd looking country, with a kilometer apart one can find town after town ruined by bombing planes or artillery. It is quite impossible fpr one to ever .approximate the waste and of this war. But Ido not worry about the minor incidents nor be capsized as one is apt to be by inefficiency reasons, for one is less likely either to generalize incorrectly himself or to be imposed upon by the false generalizations of other people. So don’t worry, but be happy, for we’ll’lick th Am by and by for they are continually growing Weaker every day and the allies are growing stronger with complete satisfaction. Yours as ever, WILLIE POTTS.

PLAN TAX OF $24,000 ON WILSON

Washington, D. C., Aug. 7.—The ways and means committee.af, the house desires President Wilson to pay a tax of $24,000 as his part of the great war’s financial burden. The committee agreed upon this toV day while working on the income tax section of the $8,000,000,000 war revenue bill. Not only would the president be taxed, under the sections agreed upon today, but Supreme court justices and all federal judges throughout the nation, and state officers, as well. “There is a great sentiment all over the country that no one should be exempted from taxation,” said Claude Xitchin, chairman of the committee, when the day’s work was over.

AMERICANS ASKED TO LIMIT USE OF SUGAR

MtistUse No More Than Two Pounds Per Person a Month if the Present ’Meagre Allied Sugar Ration Is Maintained. ■ . * Stocks Will Be Short Until Beginning of New Year May Be Enlarged Then.

Two pounds of sugar a month —half a pound a week —that Is the sugar ration the U. S. Food Administration has asked every American to bbserve until January 1, 1919, in order to make inire there shall be enough for oUr Army and Navy, for the Allied armies and for the civilians of those nations. By New Year’s the world sugar situation will be relieved somewhat by the new crop. Cuban sugar of this year’s crop will be arriving in this country. BVery available sugar source xtlll be drawn on by the Food Administration during the next winter months to maintain sufficient stocks here to keep up our national sugar supply. During October the first American beet sugar will arrive In the markets. By the middle of November sothe of our LouI iris Us carte crop will be available. All of'this sugar fend more may be needed to keep this nation supplied on a reduced ration and to safeguard the Allied sugar ration from still further

French Sugar Mills Destroyed

France must import sugar today, most of it from this side of the ocfcan, because the largest portion of French sugar beet land is fn German hands. As a result, the French people have been placed on a sugar ration of about 18 pounds a year for domestic use; a pound and a half a month. This photograph 'hows how the German

Approximately 75 per scent. of our sugar is shipped to our shores. We produce about 1,000,000 tons of sugar a y«ar. Our imports from abroad amount to over 3,000,000 tons a year in normal times.

The situation which the United States faces in its efforts to maintain a fair distribution of sugar to the A) lied world is as follows: Suoar supplies throughout the country, in homes, stores, factories and bakeries are at a low ebb. We must make increased sugar shipments to the Allies. Production of American beet and Louisiana cane crops have been disap pointing. * Porto Rico crops have been cur tailed. _ Immense sugar stocks in Java cannot be reached on account of the shipping shortage; ships are needed for troop inovements and munitions. Army anti Navy sugar requirements have increased as well as those from the Allies. Most industries using sugar have had their allotment reduced by one-half; some will receive no sugar. Households should make every effort to preserve the fruit crop without sugar, or -’> t h small amounts of sugar. Later, w. n the sugar Supply is laig er, the canned fruit may be sweetened as it is us*d.

troops destroyed French sugar mills. Thanks to the French rationing system the annual consumption lias been cut to GOO,OOO tons, according to reports reaching the United States Food Administration. Before the war France had an average sugar crop of about 750.000 tons of sugar and had some left over for export. 0
