FROM ELMO MELTON
Somewhere in France,
July 21, 1918.
Dear mother and all r—
Will take time and write a
few lines to you all to day. I
am well at present. Have re
ceived one. letter from you
since^ I arrived here. I like
France fine, we have been over
quite a little bit of the country
and must say it is one of the
prettiest countries I ever saw
in my life. The people at home
don’t know how to farm, but
of course the farms are much
smaller here still you don’t see
any waste places and weeds
anywhere and I haven’t seen a
frame building in France yet,
all are old time stone buildings
but the country is very pictur
esque and quaint.
But I don’t think I would
have crossed the ocean just to
see France or any other place.
We are not allowed to say
anything of the conditions here
but one thing appeals to - me,
and that is the way cars and
trains are here. I don’t think
this would be objected to. The
train doors are on the sides and
the car is divided into sections.
They pass each other on the
left side, at home on the right
Several things have been a cu
riousity to us, but the hardest
thing is to get used to the
French money. But I think if
we stay here long enough we
will learn French.
Well I will write again soon.

AMERICANS ASKED TO
- LIMIT USE OF SUGAR
Must Use No More Than Two Pounds
Per Person a Month if the Present
Meagre Allied Sugar Ration
Is Maintained..
Two pounds of sugar a month—hall
a pound a week—that Is the sugar ra
tion the U. S. Food Administration
has asked every American to observe
until January 1, 1919, In order to make
sure there shall be enough for our
Army and Navy, for the Allied armies
and for the civilians of those nations.
By New Year’s the world sugar sit
uation will be relieved somewhat by
the new crop. Cuban sugar of this
year’s crop will be arriving in this
country.
Every available sugar source will be
drawn on by the Food Administration
during the next winter months to main
tain sufficient stocks here to keep up
our national sugar supply. During Oc
tober the first American beet sugar
will arrive In the markets. By the
middle of November some of our Lou
isiana cane crop will be available. All
of this sugar and more may be needed
to keep this nation supplied on a re
duced ration and to safeguard the Al
lied sugar ration from still further
reduction. In Europe the present ra
tion is already reduced to a minimum.
Our Situation.
The situation which the United
States faces In Its efforts to maintain
a fair distribution of sugar to the Al
lied world is as follows:
Sugar supplies throughout the coun
try, in homes, stores, factories and
bakeries are at a low ebb. We must
make increased sugar shipments to the
Allies.
Production of American beet and
Louisiana cane crops have been disap
pointing.
Porto Rico crops have been cur
tailed.
Immense sugar stocks in Java can
not be reached on account of the ship
ping shortage; ships are needed for
troop movements and munitions.
Army and Navy sugar requirements
have increased as wsll as those from
the Allies.
Most industries using sugar have had
their allotment reduced by one-half;
some will receive no sugar.
Households should make every ef
fort to preserve the fruit crop without
sugar, or with small amounts of sugar.
Later, when the sugar supply is larg
er, the canned fruit may be sweetened
as it is used.
