THE BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY The greatest boom and slump year in modern history was 1920, The U.S. .Government, which had purchased the entire 191'8 and 1919 Cuban sugar crops, had al­ located supplies in co-operation with the U,K. Sugar Commission, This had exercised a stabilizing effect upon prices. At the end of 1919, with world sugai* stocks rather low, the U.S, threw off .all sugai’ control, An exaggerated impression of world sugar shortage became prevalent and a great price boom began. Pram about six cents per pound, the price at decontrol, raws sky­ rocketed to to twenty-two and a half ’CGIl ty by May, 19 20, This fantastic price attracted sugar shipments from all * over the world, from countries hither­ to considered far too distant to ship to U.S. Then started a .dis­ astrous slump in prices which was not halted until three and five-eigths cents was reached in December. Neither boom nor slump were justified by .the world supply situation, as there were no genu­ ine shortages nor later surpluses. CANADA AND dominion SUGAR CO. LIMITED Chatham Wallaceburg DonH Let A Hard Winter Catch Ypy Unprepared B , ... Arrange Your Coal Doan At The B Of M You can never be sure of the weather — how , soon the cold will come or how long it will last. Wise folks don’t give the weather a chance to catch them off balance, They get in ample supplies of fuel before the leaves begin to fall. No sudden rush on the coal dealer will leave ■ them with a chilly home in the first, most trying days of winter, They don’t have to worry about pos­ sible shortages, such as those recently in the news. You’d like to be .prepared too, but you can’t put your hands on the ready .cash? Pay a visit to Ted Shaw, Bank of Montreal manager at Exeter, and ask him about a B of M coal loan. Any-, one .in a position to repay by’ regular instalments can borrow’ at the B of M, Suppose you borrow $100. The interest will cost .you only 29 cents each month, if the loan is repaid in 6 equal monthly instal­ ments — that’s 6% per p.nnum. There is no other charge, and the interest rate is the same whatever the size of the loan. So make sure now that your home will be warm and cheerful this winter. Talk coal with Mr. Shaw as soon as you can. (adv’t) J PHONE 81 B—* You don’t have to weigh the problem when it comes to expert lubrication.

At the same time we were able to make substantial improvements in service. But it took a lot of money, over two hundred million dollars! There remains much to be done! Many applicants are still waiting for telephone service, and many more sub­ scribers’ present service is not adequate to their needs. We intend to meet their wishes, and to continue making the service clearer, faster, better in every way. This will take more millions for new equipment and buildings. As in the past, this money must come from the savings of thousands of Canadians who are willing to invest in the telephone business.
