(Boston News Bureau.)*,- i S^*' Senator Sherman of Illinois last week addressed congress against government control of the telephone and telegraph. Mr. Sherman fook the view that George Creel, chairman of the committee on public information, might become the wire censor. After dubbing Mr. .Creel "the public censor," Senatpr Sherman reviewed the activities of the committee. "It is subdividd into 21 branches," he said. "Creel is the parent trunk, which forks so near fne ground that no saw tim- ber can be got out of it. Moving pictures .and .professors, of elocution synchronize themselves in voice and action. Speakers are classified into a four-minute squad and those who run an oratorical platform marathon. The long-distance men are usually hardened miscreants who can talk for hours without obtaining permanent relief. Some have a chronic propensity to part their names and hair in the middle and wear lavender spats in the corn belt. Mr. Creel suffered intensely from their .refusal to harmonize themselves with the western landscape." -Speaking of what he called "a reprehensible type of jour- nalism, to which he (Mr. Creel) contributed 10,000 words daily before he was regenerated," Senator Sherman said: "It aimed at shock rather than sense, and usually hit its mark. It was miserable. It cannot be denatured without being defunct. Its brilliancy is the glow of putrescence. It shines with the fitful glimmer of decay, like the phosphorescence of a deceased fish." Turning to the Creel Bureau's feature story on Secretary Baker, Mr. Sherman said: "It identifies unmistakably the toad- eater from whence it came." He then described the feature, which was entitled '.'Round the Clock with Baker," and pur- ported to describe the secretary's a^ctiyAties, his dress, and his recent trip to France. "After enduring this from Creel, the terrors of a Hun invasion are considerably mitigated," said Mr. Sherman. "Con- gress is stigmatized as a slum. After this any servile deputy candle-sjitiffer is at liberty to revile us fit pleasure. Any gan- grened egotist afflicted with ingrowing conceit may spurn con- gress and demand appropriations to feed him with thepom- placent assurance that precedent now justifies anything." sought to dominate Indiana and got walloped both times. ^!p^Th cry from Washington is to "keep out of politics" and it ^^asheeii reiterated by mouth pieces and sent broadcast as cara- ^^paigft propaganda. Meanwhile, the democratic party has beejn ^assiduousjy organizing a powerful campaign fabrication based ^on the war. No'w comes the latest expose of biased partisan polities .,on the part of the administration in the announcement that -during the fall campaign so-called noted, democratic, leaders .$#nd orators, including Secretary of the Interior Lane, will be sent into Minnesota in an attempt to defeat Governor Burriquist ^ajj.d elect the democratic, state ticket. Such actions are an insult to the intelligence of the people of the state of Minnesota who are just as capable of admii^- ^siteringt their own affairs, without any suggestions nor advice *rof a lo of cheap clacquers, whose sole claim to being on a '"j' payroll is acting as emmissaries of biased politics with the camouflage "cut out the politics." P,, The answer of Minnesota voters will be repudiation of such i' atactics, same as did Wisconsin and other statesrwhere V&:\ WISE ONES ARE LOOKING AHEAD. Wise ones are preparing now for the after-war problems -and opportunities. The man with vision will make a fortune after the war. There will be vast works of reconstruction, repair and reorganization in Europe and in the Americas. The airplane will duplicate the rapid growth of the automobile industry, the much discussed merchant marine will come into its own, what is left of the public domain will disappear into the ownership of the "back to the land" movement, led by returning soldiers, Pan-American commerce will increase tre- mendously, epochal political events^ both domestic and interna- tional will crowd qn one another's he^ls, the oceans, so far as ^their isolating "function is concerned will be no more, interna- tional brotherhoods and associations will spring up, great move- ments, social and economical,^ will be bonj and grow rapidly. In fact, the old world is going*to "go some," in the twenty-five years following this war. The wise man is preparing NOW *to seize his own special opportunity when it shall come..

Montreal I*ondon Paris Boise 80.078 80.0807 80.1269 I0.122S 10-263 What Is the average retail prios of sugar in the United States? From 8% to 10*.cents a-pound, aryjng slightly In^different locall ties. During the Girll -war sugar 'sold at retail for 88 cents a pound, when there was no real,shortage. Speculation then was rampant now it lias been checked by Food Ad ministration regulation. Bow have prices been regulated?* By voluntary agreement with pro ducers and refiners, with regard to the price of the raw sugar and re finers' margins, and by establishing maximum margins for wholesalers and retailers. 'Would our prices be higher If there were no control of sugar? The price would, in the face, of the world shortage, have mounted rapidly, as it has in countries where no .control exists. As the American people .consume upward of 8 billion pounds annually, each cent per pound increase would cost the peo pie-more .than $80,-000,000 a year. How can I know, whether my grocer is charging excessive prices for ,.sugar? Consult the list of "fair prices" published in the ^newspapers or write directly to the State Food Ad ministrator or ids representative In your vicinity. What penalty is .there for the4small retail grocer who found guilty of charging excessive prices? Wholesalers, all of whom operate under Federal licenses issued by the Food Administration, .may cut off his supplies. Hoarding. What is sugar hoarding? Having on hand more than Is needed for a reasonable -length of time. You should not fail to return any unused balance of sugar pur chased for canning purposes.? May. a household have a montfi's sup ply of sugar on hand? This is not Justifiable except in extreme cases where there are no stores available for purchase., and it should be done only upon advice ef the Federal Food Administrator or his deputy. What are some of the evil effects of hoarding? It throws the distribution system 'out of joint it raises prices it im poses a heavier burden upon those already doing their utmost it re sults in waste where there are no proper facilities for storage" it dis courages the honest. What is the moral wrong of hoarding? It is selfish, cowardly, unpatriotic. It is, in effect, taking unto one's self special privileges at a time when all Americans should be on,, the same footing, share and share alike. Is there any punishment for hoarders? Yes. The Food Control Act pro vides fines of not more than .$6,000 and imprisonment for hoarding by dealers, manufacturers or. house holders. General Sugar Conservation. Is sugar necessary in the diet? Neither cane nor beet sugar Is necessary. In the average Ameri can diet all the bodily needs may ordinarily be supplied by using honey, syrups, fresh, preserved and dried fruits. What are the general sugar saving rules? v# Use nil sugar sparingly and wher^ ever possible nap substitutes. -Be sparing of confections .2and sweet cakes. The American people last year spent enough money for candy to feed all Belgium for two years.. Supplement sugar with honey, ma ple syrup and corn syrup. Cultivate a taste for fruit in Its natural sweet ness. Sugar Is a. fuel-food. Get fuel from potatoes, and* other starohy foods rather than from sugar. It excels them as an energy-food only, because It produces energy .mprft quickly. -#r If a recipe calls for 1 cup of sjxgar, what amount of substitute may be^ used? If a recipe calls for 1 cup of sugar, use in its place 1 cup of strained' honey or 1% to 2 cups of corn, syrup. If honey or syrup is used, the amount of liquid called for in the recipe must be reduced cup for every cup of honey or syrup. Canning. Why is it good conservation.policy to use sugar tor Jtome canning and preserving, of--fruits? Surplus perishable-fruits would be lost if not canned. Sugar used In this way goes farther than it does as Sugar. Every can put up by a housewife means a can released from commercial stocks for export to feed our armed forces and the Allies. Why does the FoodJMbninistration at present encourage canning withovt sugar? Because sugar may be added later, when it is more plentiful. :ASTi4BJffiI. FQ&4AXK FOR SALE!Ford, good condition, 1917.
