Thoughts For The Times
The Scarcity oe Goods,
It is a known fact that scarcity in some lines exists as a result of -be war, which will be gradually remedied as industry becomes normal. The production of sugar on the continent of Europe was down about 4,000,000 tons in 1919, and sugar, is dear nil over the world in consequence. The proper action for this situation is for every person to do with a little less sugar, each accepting his share of the deficit*. Instead of this, through ignorance uid thoughtlessness of course, the people of the United Statfes consumed more sugar per capita in 1919 than ever before in their history. That has been a factor in making tlie. price high, and the commodity scarcer.
