Cuban Sugar Rises, And Price May Go Up Here NEW YORK, Feb. 14. Arise in sugar prices will become effective throughout the United States shortly if plans of Cuban cane planters to pool their entire output of raw su gar and force higher prices are suc cessful. A committee of Cuban sugar men is reported to have obtained pledges of support from a controlling portion of the planters and is refusing to sell raw sugar to eastern United States refiners unless higher prices are of fered. As a result the sugar market has strengtheneSvisibly. A 50-point ad vance was registered in Cuban raws ( within 24 hours following the report ’of the Cuban committee’s plans. The price for 96 centrifugal Cuban rows rose from 4.52 to 5.02 cents a pound, with the Cubans declining to sell on the advance. Leading Cuban sugar men have appealed to Maj.-Gen. Enoch Crow der in Hava ria to fix a price of 7.5 cents a pound for raw sugar in Cu ba as the only means of relieving the tense financial and political situation on the island. If the Cubans are successful in forcing such a price it would mean at least 10-cent retail sugar through out the United States, and probably more, depending on the amount of tariff the new Republican Congress will put on sugar after March 4.

Jacb Friezner, hey husband, found in the Old Testament grounds for a divorce action against her. So she seeks now to answer the Bible with the Bible. Friezner bases his plea for divorce on the following verses which he found in the 25th chapter of Deuter onomy : “If brethren shall dwell together and one of them die and have ho child, the wife of the dead shall not marry without, unto a stranger; her husband’s brother shall » ♦ ♦ ♦ take her to him to wife and perform the duty of an husband's brother unto her. ‘And if the man like not to take his brother’s wife * * * * then shall his brother’s wife come unto him and loose his shoe frqm off his foot and spit in his face.” Friezner was a widower, his wife was a widow when they married. He now invokes the ancient Mosiac law, saying Mrs. Friezner did not offer herself in marriage to her husband’s brother,. “Never before has a man in this country , tried to get rid of his wife on a religious scruple,” says Mrs. Friezner. “Religion should be used to keep people together, hot to sep arate them. “In these days what woman would offer herself in mariage to any man, brother-in-law or not? “Never mind, there are many vers es in t|je Bible, and one of them is bound to fit my side of this case. ‘That law I shall find, if my eyes hold out.” t More clothing is worn by the wo men in Turkey than in any other being eaten.
