SUGAR PRICES SOAR IN CHICAGO Quotation of Wholesalers Will Mean 33 Cents Per Pound to Consumer. Tlj United Press: CHICAGO, April 2 3 Sugar prices soared to new high levels here Friday. Wholesale grocers Friday were notified by sugar refiners that the liest price that can be quoted is 29 1-2 cents a pound. This means sugar at 33 cents a pound to the consumer, wholesalers say. "It is all due to an dVer-estima-tion of the Cuban production," said Ii. L. Thomas, ugar buyer for the largest wholesale grocer ir the west. "The Cuban planters estimated their production would total 4,500,000 tons. It was less than 4,000,000. Unless some step is taken by the government to curtail its sale the situation will be serious. I believe eventually that the government will have to ration sugar." Thomas declared his firm's last purchases cost slightly over IS cents a pound. Friday's quotations show a jump of 11 cents a pound since then. Though refiners were demanding top prices, most dealers in Chicago Friday wero selling-around the 23 cent mark, although a large department storo quoted sugar as low as 19 cents.

Sleeper Friday, issued a proclamation setting aside May 7 as Arbor and Plrd day and calling upon the people of the state to observe the day by planting trees and holding proper ceremonies. "Michigan's once splendid forests havo largely disappeared though we still have many thousands of acres of beautiful forest land." the governor said in his proclamation. "It would seem to be the part of wisdom to replant with trees vast areas which have grown little or nothing since the timber was taken off, but this project will require many years for its accomplishment. "In the meantime our cities and villages can add greatly to their attractiveness by planting shade trees along their streets and in their parks and squares. Young trees suitable for this purpose may be obtained at small cost from tho Public Domain commission at Lansing and the M. A. C, at East Lansing." The governor requests that "exercises appropriate to the day" be held in all schools. GREAT BRITAIN FAVORS GERMAN ARMY BILL Ey United Tress: SAN KEMO, April 2 3.

He indicated Great Britain does not consider unreasonable the German request to increase her army from the 100,000 allowed by the treaty, to double that number. Lloyd George's statement came less than 2 4 hours after Premier Milkrand of France had declared that Germany had repeatedly violated tho treaty and Indicated French opposition to the German request for a large army. "Germany is a sick country." Lloyd George said. "Sho may be compared 'o a paralyzed man whose members no longer 'will obey the commands of Iiis brain.

"Women who play cards for prizes are just as much gamblers as the men who play poker for money. Nino times out of 10 when you find a gambler you will find that he learned to play his first game of cards in a lady's parlor." In decrying the modern dance, he said that it had reached the point where it is senseless to attempt to defend it. "The dance has stabbed dead the finer sense and the nobler feeling that God has implanted in your breast," lie declared citing the example of a 16 -year-old girl whose eyes droop and whose cheeks burn at her first appearance in the ball room but who at the end of six months can go on the lloor in the arms of a strange man without any qualms for she has become accustomed to the embrace of a man's arms.
