SWEET TOOTH HOISTING PRICE OF SUGAR HERE Abnormal Demand Shown by America’s Gluttony and Neglect of Market. SPECULATOR IN GAME America Is paying dearly for her "sweet tooth." And she is malting the rest of the world pay for it, too. This is one of the things found ont by a reporter who went on the trail at the truth about the sugar situation. He also found men who ought to kpow —being in the sugar business —who dacirred that speculators had taken advantage of the situation and forced the price to an abnormal basis. Another reason, so the reporter was told, is that Great Britain entered into competition with America la i.uyiug Cuban sugar, and took quite a big slice of it to the British Isles for afternoon teas and other uses. EXPERT ASSIGNS CAt'SE OF rRICES. One man, who is class*! as an authority on sugar, said that the high price of sugar is due, first, to the abnormal increase in the demand for sweets: second, to the railroad strike, whica held up shipments, and third, to speculators. America failed to get into the opening buying In Cuba until a late date for this year’s crop, according to sugar dealers. The general opinion in the sugar trade circles was that an open market with competition, following the end of government control, would force down the price of sugar. SPECULATORS GET FINGERS IN PEE. But speculators got their fingers in rhe pie in Cuba. Refineries did Dot grab the crop, and to keep refineries going they began to refine sugar for speculators—at about 3 cent3 a pound. In January sugar was wholesaling in N'ew York at llAt cents a pound and dropped to 9’-* cents a pound in February. A farther drop was looked for and it didn't materialize. Today the price of raw sngar is lStj to 20 cents, it is asserted. PER CAPITA *TSE SHOWS IN' CREASE. In 191S the consumption of sugar per capita was eighty-four pounds. In 1919 It was ninety-two pounds With only 4,311.000 tons available for 1920 against a demand for consumption of 5.060.000 tons a shortage of 249,000 tons appears, officials say. With a growing demand for candles, soft drinks and all products, and with a world market for sugar, many sugar dealers predict that sugar will stay at a high price for three years at least.

SUGAR IN CHICAGO ‘TO BE 33 CENTS’ CHICAGO, April 23.—Sugar prices soared to new high levels here today. Wholesale grocers today were notified by sugar refiners that the best price they can he quoted is cents a pound. This means sugar at 33 cents a pound to the consumer, wholesalers say. “It la all due to an overestimation of the Cuban production,” said B. L. Thomas, sugar huyer for the largest wholesale grocer in the west. “The Cuban planters estimated four and half million tons. *lt was less than four million. “Cnless some step is taken by the government to curtail its sale, the situation will be serious. ‘‘l believe eventually that the government will have to ration sugar. ’ Thomas declared his firm's last purchases cost slightly over IS cent3 a pound. Today's quotations show a jump of 11 eect3 a pound since then. CALLS ON WHITE PEOPLE TO HELP Colored Attorney Asks Moral Support Against Lynchings.

A World Survey Was Made Our churches know the needs that must be met. They know exactly how every dollar—every penny —will be used for the greatest good without waste. A world survey was made by the churches that astounds business men in its thoroughness. County after county was studied; the countries of the world were visited and reported in minute detail. How the Intercharch World Movement Originated Our churches said: "The task of meeting the urgent needs shown by the world survey is too great for us to do individually as denominations. We must do this work, together.” So thirty great denominations are cooperating—each keeping its own purpose and identity—but all working together under the name of the Interchurch World Movement. Because of this cooperation, it is estimated th|it over one million dollars will he saved alone in eliminating waste and duplication.

Thanks for the Compliment Lons ago some wise man said, “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.” Therefore, we thank the few firms ivho followed our lead in paying parcel post on tires and accessories. We believe we were the first mail order tire house in the country to make free deliveries. We pay parcel post on tires and all accessories, except liquids, dry cells and exceedingly heavy merchandise, to points within 300 miles of Indianapolis. Send for our catalogue—the largest we have ever issued. It is free for the asking. N. F. C. Standard Brand Tires Cost Less Here “N. F. C.” is ai\ abbreviated term used by manufacturers, meaning “No further consideration.” It is usually used on slightly blemished tires. Tires that are not strictly perfect, yet good enough to retain the maker’s name and good enough for a mileage guarantee. Here, for example, we hove a lot of tires of ouc of the most noted brands—identically the same brand and grade that others have advertised at prices averaging 20% higher prices than ours. To justify the increase, a “joker” was used by tacking on their own guarantee of an extra one thousand miles to that of the maker’s five-thou-sand-mile guarantee. For this extra one-thousand-mile home-made guarantee you are asked to pay on a 32x3% tire exactly $7.00 more than our regular price.

Did you know that 3c is more than the churches average from each member per day? % WE Americans may be thoughtless. Sometimes we may appear selfish. But when a great need arises, no one can say that we have ever shirked. Ask any son of France. Ask any soldier of Great Britain. Or ask any Armenian mother or a girl with a red cross on her sleeve or one with a tambourine in her hand. And now the churches come to us for help—our churches. Not begging. Not asking alms. But with heads lifted high facing a task so worthy that we, as loyal Americans, ought to feel it a privilege to help. • ' 4 Here is the Plain, Unvarnished Truth We don’t need to be told that the church is the heart of the Nation. We admit its influence for lasting good in our children. We see its stabilizing influence on our communities. We know a little of its great hospitals, its homes for children, its schools and colleges here and abroad. But most of us do not realize how pitifully inadequate the support of the churches is when compared to the urgent needs. Less than a day! In spite of the great tasks which we expect our churches to carry out, those of us who give to the church—and the number is all too few—are now giving an average of less than 3/ a day for all church purposes. Less than a day. Shall our churches go on? It is for you to say. Without* your help the work of your church must be iust that much less. Give—and give from your heart as well as from your pocketbook.
