The dip' of prayer to be observed tomorrow afternoon at St. .Limes Lutheran. Cliufch is a call that should l*c* heeded by a large number of wom en from the various churches of this city. Perhaps never have we as a lm tion stood more urgently in need of prayer than just now. AA’ith the na tion and the entire world staggering to their feet after the most gigantic war in human history and ,with the most threatening war-clouds again hanging low over all Europe it cer tainly behooves the motherhood of the land to pray. The meeting will be held at 3 :3<) p. in. and the women from eyery church I in this city are urged to attend. It is customary on these days of prayer to take an offering for some interdenominational or humanitarian project. This year the committee litis voluntarily agreed that the offering shall go to the Near East Relief. ; As chairman of the Near East Relief for Cabarrus County, I am gratified Jo see such manifestation of in greatest appeal that has ever come) to America.

AA’asliington, Feb. 13.—Despite the fact that sugar production this year is expected to fall short of consump tion by 727,000 tons, commerce de partment officials predicted today that the surplus carried over from last year would more than‘offset the dis crepancy. Figures made public by the depart ment last li’iday gave Hie estimated production this year as 18.308,000 tons and the estimated consumption as 10.- 035,000 tons. ” The carry-over from the year previous was 1.203.000 tons, all but 470.000 tons of which will he used up. according to the depart ment's figures, by the shortage of the present yeti r. In a, statement tonight Dr. Julius Klein, director of the bureau of for eign and domestic commerce, pointed out that by incorporating the 1.203,000 surplus of year with the total “estimated production” for this year, tlie total of available stocks is brought up to H).oil,000 tons, as against an estimated consumption of li>,o3i*ooo tons. , ~ The 47<*.<X>0 lons remaining in re serve ,jit the end of the year will he the smallest carry-over for a number of years. It compares wttli a carry over of 750.000 tons iny-normal years before tlu* war. I>r. Klein’s statement, issued in re sponse to various inquiries regarding the figures made public Friday, was as follows: “TliiX department of commerce has made no statement that there will he a sugar shortage. The total stocks and production collected from all parts of the world, and issued Friday, showed an estimated total of avail able sugar for consumption in 1022-23 of 10.011.000 tons, as against an esti mated world consumption of 10,035,000 tons, tbn's indicating a surplus of 470,000 tons at the end of the year. “The only bjisis for misinterpreta tion in certain press dispatches of the department’s statement which you probably lmd not seen is that the sta tistical position indicated that the end year carry-over would he less than the abnormally heavy carry-over since the war.” Alfjpd AI.
