All right, .ow come along a war and upsets your sup plv of raw material, or made-up roods, or maybe the government lakes over your output or curtails it thereby cither completely or par- t'ally eliminating your civilian trade Would it bo worth whib to continue ycur advertising?

But, realizing that present con dUlons aro going to melt back into hh.tory at no Wry distant date, they are keeping alivo their names and reputations.

This belt ex- lends from Maine to Virginia and v ertward to tho scmi-aid plains. From white clover alono Is secured about one-half of tlio nation's crop of honey. This kind Is almost colorless, has a heavy body, and a distinct but dedicate and delicious flavor. Alfalfa hon?y Is second In commer- c'al importance. It3 region Is mostly west of the one hundredth meridian. and I Is colorless, except in tlve .louthwer.tera elates, where it dark ens to amber, with a . distinctive cplcy or minty flavor. Third In Importance for honey pro ("uctlon Is sweet clover, a native and mostly wild legume growing abunda- dnitly throughout all of the west pin mountain and plat?au states and In less degreo eastward to the Atlantic states. About 4 per cent of the nurplus honey that. Is, tho honey bees do uot requiro for their own sustenance come3 from the flower of the cot ton plant, 3 H per cent from the ba33 wood tree or American linden, about S per cent each from the tulip poplar tree and buckwheat, and 2 per cent from the gtldenrod, a widespread plant that produces a highly flavored jelden honey, Tho mountain sages cf California produces a type of honey of much importance and, by common conson, cie of tho finest of nil In absence of color, In density. nd In flavor. At least 35 per cent :.f the honey crop comes from clover and alfalfa.1 According' to tho census of 1910, California produces nearly ono-fifth a' (bo hodey crop. New York and Texas each about one-elglttecnth, and Mlch'.grn, Iowa, Colorado, Wis consin, Missouri, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina each about one-twenty-flfth.

When people realize the truth about thje candy industry, they immediately see that candy is a wonderful food product, rich In nut ritive values and a necessary food for people who work hard. Sugar Is recognized as a necessity. Yet few people take their requirements of sugar a spoonful at a time, like a big pill. Many peoplo like the sugar In candy form. Thinking people realize that one man is entitled to his sugar in candy form as much as another is entitled to take his melted In coffee. - In 1916 (the last normal year In the Industry), there were ap proximately 2500 candy factories in the United States, using about 8 per cent of the sugar used in the United States. (Really a muc'a smaller percentage than anyone thought.) The capital Invested in the industry was more than $110,000,000. It was the thirty-eighth largest Industry. It employs normallysone hundred thousand people, seVenty-five per cent of whom are women. It also makes possible, to a large extent, the chocolate and paper box Industries, with millions Invested, and employing thousands of people mostly women. There are still people who belt'eve that the candy Industry is us ing from 25 to 50 per cen of the national sugar consumption, and that the wiping out of the Industry would solvo the sugar problem. ' " But, on the contrary, only 8 per cent of sugar Is used normally and today this has been cut to 4 per cent. Reasonable people, with these facts before them, aro realizing that with only so small an amount of sugar going into candy, and In view cf tlu high food value of candy, it is time to consider the facts and figures and to conrerve in other directions for fur ther savings. In normal times the candy industry uses 'only 8 per cent of the sugar used per capita in this country. Right now this amount h?s been cut squarely in two. The Candy Manufacturers of Oregon
