THURSDAY, AUOUST 15, 1918 The United States commissioner of Internal revenue has just issued some official figures which certainly ought to make the people of the country to Bit up and take notice. It has to do with the numbers of people accumulat ing vast fortunes since the war began. The United States had, In 1914, 7,509 persons with yearly Incomes of $50, 000. In 1910 that number had grown to 17,085. It has generally happened that these fortunes have been made In the Industrial centers and mining towns. The $50,000 a year income, of course, does not tell the story, for there has been a very large increase In the people who have Incomes amounting to half a million dollars or more, says American Breeder. Sum ming this all up it shows the concen tration of American wealth in the hands of a very small number of wealthy families, less than one-fiftieth of 1 per cent of the entire population of the country. Sixty per cent of the wealth of this country in 1910 was in the hands of 2 per cent of the peo 'ple. It is estimated that today at least 70 per cent of all the wealth and resources of the nation are controlled of thl3 very, small 2 per cent of our population. The man behind the gun Is doing hia duty nobly for his country, but the man behind the hoe is not yet up to the mark. And if it is true that an array fights on Its stomacjti, it is up to the man behind the hoe to pro .vide the sinews of war. "Will Mr. Hoover please answer this: If a person swore forty years ago that lie would starve before he would ever eat cottontail rabbit again, can he re call the oath without violating his good faith with himself? Speaking of the plan of sending Nicholas Romanoff to the Ural moun tains, it is recalled that, not so very long ago, the former czar could have issued an Imperial ukase commanding the Ural mountains to come to him. Can you blame the kaiser for believ ing that he Is divinely protected? Look at the way his six sons have gone unscathed through all 'these horrlblo battles. If the telephone companies want to save time and effort, let them cut out the necessity for repeating a num ber three or four times before a con nection Is obtained. The weather Is a good deal like a small boy. It can bo good Just so long; then somcthln' has 'to break loose. Paris says the spirit of our soldi era equals that of the French troops, which is about the finest compliment anyone could pay us. The gct-rlch-qulck schemes still provjo that the desire to get 'some thing for nothing'' springs eternal '(a the human breast, ' 'ffjBggtev SHARE OUR SUGAR WITH THE ALLIES British Got Two Pounds a Month. French Pound and Half, Italians Ono Pound. GERMAN SUPPLY PLENTIFUL All Nations Permit Use of Sweetening fop Homo Preserving; Purposes, America's new sugar ration of two pounds a month per person is equita ble when compared with the sugar ra tion enforced by rigid governmental order In England, Franco and Italy, na tions with which we are sharing sugar. Each Allied nation in the matter of sugnr consumption Is sharing on near est possible equal terms the hardships imposed by 'greatly altered conditions in the world sugar situation. Formerly classed as a luxury, sugar Is now a war time essential. The fair and Just division of this essential is in the hands of the various Allied food controllers. The United States Food Administra tion has asked this nation to "observe a voluntary sugar ration of two pounds per person a month. In the other countries at war with Germany sugar is one of the scarce articles on every menu whether in the households of both rich and poor, or In the hotels. England today has a sugar ration of two pounds per month per person. In France the ration is a pound and a half and In Italy It Is one pound a month. And the prices In allied coun tries are from two to three times as high as in America. If you go to a hotel in England or France these days and order tea or coffee they serve absolutely no sugni with it If you wanti sugar you must bring it Tsrlta you. In England It Is allowable to use one-seventh of an ounce of Biignr In the preparation of each luncheon. In France many persons carry little sac charine tablets about with them for use In hotels and In England rich and poor must take their sugar with them If they wish to have sweetened tea while visiting friends. Before the war started France had 025,000 acres devoted to sugar produc tion. By 1017 the French sugar acre age had decreased to 180,000 acres. Today the French man or woman with a sugar card has no assurance whatever that he or she will bo able to actually buy sugar. To buy It, ono must first find It Italy Has "State Sugar." Especially drastic regulations govern the use of sugar In Italy. Its manu facture, distribution and salo aro close ly controlled, and in part actually taken over by tho state. Saccharlno is permitted to bo sold and used as a substitute for sugar and tho government manufactures n mix ture of saccharine and. sugar called "State Sugar," which Is' largely usod. German Sugsr'Ratlon Adequate. Germany, before tho war, produced a great surplus of sugar and oxportod largo quantities. Today tho Germans have virtually gono out of tho esport business, but havo plenty of cheap sugar for homo use. Wholosale ' prices prevalent In the Allied nations, according to Informa tion received by tho United Btatos Food Administration aro as follows: England, 10 conts a pound; France, 12 conts ; Italy, 20 conts, While these high prlcos ore being paid abroad the Amorlcan wholesale prlco Is bolng held at VA cents.

Food savings of millioas of Americana during our first year of war enabled this govern ment to send enormous food.sbipments abroad for our fighting forces and the Allied nations. , Our savings in cereals--out e a aksrt crop amounted to 184,900,000 bushels; all of which wui shipped to Europe.
