SUGAR SHORTAGE IS
BROUGHT TO AMERICA
BY CHANCES OF WAR
Since the pinch of the sugar
shortage pressed in upon the
sweets-loving American populace,
every one who has had a part of
his Regular sugar rations cut
down, has asked, either himself or
some one else “Why?”
In the past France, Italy and the
Low countries raised their own sugar.
England received over one-half of her
supply from the Teutonic Empires, im
ported largely from Java. One-half of
America’s sugar supply is obtained
from Cuba, one-seventh from the sugar
beet production of the United States,
one-eighth from Hawaii, one-twentieth
from Louisiana, and the rent from
Porto Rico, and the Philippines.
Factories Destroyed.
Because of the destruction of the
greater «part of their factories, the pro
duction of both Italy' and France has
been cut down to one-third. The Cen
tral Powers —their regular source of
supply—has been cut off. Thoy must,
therefore, depend almost entirely upon
America.
There is vast quantities cf sugar
stored in Java, but neither time nor
ships can be spared while sugar can
l)e obtained elsewhere by one-third
the haul.
Why Save?
Why are Americans urged to save
sugar?
They must meet the Allied shortage;
they must release ships formerly used
in the sugar trade to carry soldiers
and supplies to Europe; they must
make up Hie loss of beet sugar lands
and factories captured or destroyed
by the Germans in Northern France
and Italy. Ships which would have
kept up the flow of sugar have been
sunk. Twenty-six thousand tons of
sugar were lost recently in submarine
raids upon America’s Atlantic coast.
Fifty thousand tons of sugar carrying
shipping were transferred to meet the
requirements of Belgian relief.
Civil War Price.
In spite of the shortage, sughr is’
selling all over the United States at
cents to 10 cents a pound. During
the Civil War, when no shortage
threatened, sugar sold for 35 cents a
pound owing to speculation which wa9
rampant and which, in this war, has
been checked by the United States
Food Administration regulations.
Therefore Americans are asked to
save sugar because others need it; not
to hoard it because hoarding is selfish,
cowardly and unpatriotic and because
th»‘ Food Control act provides fines of
not more than *5,000 and imprison
ment for hoarders.
Save sugar.
COLORADOANS ARE ASKED
TO SAVE SUGAR SO THAT:-
The people of England may
have two pounds per person per
month;;
The people of France I 1 ,2
pounds per person per month;
The people of Italy one pound
per person per month.
These amounts are not guar
anteed by the allied govern
ments to their people, but they
are the maximum amounts that
will be furnished if supplies can
he obtained.
LESS SUGAR IS
ALLOTTED STATE
FOR NEW MONTH
Skulking submarines, a great mer
chant fleet transformed into a gigantic
ocean bridge over which America’s
khaki clad army has marched into the
battlefield of Europe, have combined
to put the people of the United States
once more to the test. This time the
nation faces a shortage of sugar. This
time, instead of the national passion
for flakey white wheat bread and
fluffy cakes thr national sweet tooth
has to be combated and educated and
made to sacrifice its share to the Altar
of Liberty.
New allotment of suga r to consum
ers. according to recent dispatches
from Washington.. will be two
pounds per person per month, in
stead of three pounds as formerly al
lowed. Colorado’s entire sugar allot
ment for July was 4.-182,000 pounds. In i
August the state will be allowed only ,
2,298,000 pounds of sugar which is a
decrease of 1,484,000 pounds for thl3
state alone.
According to present calculations, !
housewives will be able to obtain can- j
ning sugar up to a limited extent de- ■
pending entirely upon the supply. Food
Administration officials urge nil house
wives to use discretion in their can
ning and avoid canning heavy jams
and preserves which take much more
sugar than the canned whole fruits.
Officials also urge that wherever pos
sible fruits and vegetables be dried in
stead of canned as this process takes
no sugar whatever.
Never forget that the sugar situa
tion is serious and every Coloradoan
should bend every effort to the saving
of sugar.
DENVER FIRMS CLOSED

tions, the Keystone Milling and Ware
house Company, and J. D. Best and

States Food Administration for Colo
