Two thousand bags of 100 pounds each of corn sugar have been used in Harrisburg during the past six months. During that time the places and methods for its use have been increased twelve fold, it was said by S. R. Coover, of the Witman- Schwarz Wrolesale Grocery Com pany, this morning. lined to Advantage The common use of corn sugar here was not generally suspected until patrons of public eating places dis covered the little yellow grains mixed with the graaulated sugar which they poured Into their coffee and onto their cereals and desserts. It has "been commonly used in ice cream, and can be used to advantage by ice cream manufacturers, Mr. Coover said. It's use in bread is also becoming com mon. Corn sugar is always mixed with cane sugar to insure a palatable product. Besides these common uses, it is being tried out in many other ways. Corn sugar costs about a half a cent a pound less to the wholesaler than cane sugar. The retail cost is the same. The sweetening qualities of corn sugar however, are only about three-fourths those of cane sugar. Reasons were given this morning for the fact that the manufacture of corn sugar cannot be increased to a point extensive enough to insure it as a factor in relievlg the sugar situation. The corn sugar is manu factured from a small germ in the end of the corn grain, it was explain ed, and it was pointed out that very little sugar can be manufactured from even a great quantity of corn. The sugar germ is no larger than a pin head, which shows how small is the amount of sugar that can ac tually be derived from an ear of corn. The corn is extracted in the process of manufacturing flucose and starch from corn. The latter two products are results of a separate process; corn sugar is derived as a side issue in their manufacture. Corn sugar is a small round yellow grain. It is about as heavy as cane sugar. It is manufactured in the large corn centers of the United States. Argo, 111.. Is the nearest Center for the supply of corn sugar for Harrisburg. At present there is little corn sugar held by wholesalers. A few carloads are expected by the Witman-Schwarz Company, but there are a dozen places for every carload that comes in, the demand has Increased so since the sugar shortage.

Stooss, Lemoyne Barber, Dies From Stroke - • JOflN C. STOOSS Lemoyne, Pa., Aug. 23.—John C. Stooss, widely-known barber of Har risburg for years, and who holds a record for attending Sunday school fifty-four years without missing a session, died at his home here yes terday afternoon, following a stroke suffered two weeks ago. Although in ill health for more than year, Mr. Stooss did not miss a session of Sunday school and up to six months ago held his remark able record of continuous attend ance at sessions. Seized with a sud den attack of illness about that time he was compelled to miss a session, but the following week started out to make a new record for himself. Hp managed to attend weekly until two weeks ago, when he was seized with a stroke. During the severe cold weather last winter, despite the ad vice of physicians. Mr. Stooss with the assistance of his wife and daugh cr managed to get to Sunday school every Sunday. Mr. Stools, who was 73 years old, started this remarkable record in Germany. He attended Sunday school for fourteen years in Germany and forty years in this country, making a total of fifty-four years 'without missing a session. Born in Germany, Mr. Stooss came to this country in 1865. As ajiarber he located in Broadway, New York, and later moved to Harrisburg, where he followed his trade for a, number of years. In 1898 he came to Lemoyne, where he has lived since. Because of ill health Mr. Stooss was compelled to rety-e from busi ness several years ago and since that ; time has been living a retired life here. For several terms he was town assessor and was also active in church work. Until a short time ago he was teacher of the Young Men's Bible class of the Lutheran Church, which he organized about ten years ago. Surviving him are his wife, three daughters, Mrs. George E. Ellis, of Lemoyne; Mrs. J. W. Walck, of Steelton, and Miss Pansy Stooss of Lemoyne. Funeral services w'ill be held to-morrow afternoon at 2 o'clock from his late home. Burial will be made in the Prospect Hill Cemetery.

The exact line as it now stands cannot be given, but some of the towns taken by the British are- nearly a mile inside of the positions where the Germans are believed to have stood yesterday and the greatest advance is said to be two miles. When it is realized the fighting on this front is along the lines which were strongly intrenched by the Germans and held by. them until the .great British offensive before Albert in 1916, the im portance of the advance mach: to-day appears to be augmented. Battle Rages on 50-Mile Front London, Aug. 23.—A battle is raging to-day in France on one of the widest front of the war. It extends for about fifty miles north from Soissons.

The British Third army has gained more than a mile on a front of more than seven miles. The British Fourth army has gained more than two miles on a front of seven miles. COUNTY MAY HIRE EXPERTFOR PROBE [Continued from First Page.] This section was taken after the Wed nesday and Thursday in Scranton, getting data on how Lackawanna county boosted its coal land assess ment in ten years from $4,000,000 to its present figure of $100,000,000. The Commissioners are thinking seriously of employing Lackawanna county's mining engineer, T. Ells worth Davies. Davies is the man who boosted the coal land assessment in his home county and he told Solici tor Moyer that there is need for boosting the Dauphin county assess ments which, comparatively, are a paltry $833,000. The engineer said he would be glad to help the Dauphin commissioners make the assessment; the Lackawanna county commission ers said they'd have no objection to Mr. Davies coming here and the engi neer urges that the results to be ob tained through an examination of Dauphin county coal lands would more than warrant and repay the ex pense. Davies thinks that Dauphin county coal lands are worth anywhere from $12,000,000 to $15,000,000 and the ag gregate may run to $20,000,000. The county commissioners passed a reso lution directing their chief clerk to write the engineer and have him come here for a conference on September 4 or September 9. Solicitor Moyer's message from the Lackawanna county officials great ly enthused the county commission ers. The engineer didn't tell Mr. Moyer what it might cost Dauphin county to make the examination of the mines but that will be the chief point of inquiry when Mr. Davies conies here in September. The com missioners fixed September 9 as an alternate date although they would like to meet him on September 4 because they all insisted "we want to get this thing started as quickly as possible." , , According to what Davies told the solicitor, it will take at least two months to thorough examine the coal lands. That will include the coal fields of the Susquehanna Coal Company in and around Williams town and Lykens, which are being worked, and also the Rush town ship land of the Reading Coal and Iron Company which Davies insists contain marketable coal that is workable. This latter tract the Reading company always has insist ed contains no workable coal deposits and because the county heretofore has had no way of confirming or disproving that contention, the land always has been assessed as timber land, at an extremely low figure. A Big Task If Dauphin county employes Dav ies, as is expected, the engineer said he will need the services of another mininig engineer, an assistant engi neer and at least two clerks. Davies wouldn't have to do much prelimin ary work before beginning the actual examinations down in the mines be cause he made maps and profiles and gatheredl other data on Dauphin county coal lands when he made a superficial survey and was halted in the midst of his work because he Ladies' Ribbed Vests 19c to 15c Ladies' Ribbed Vests —all sizes.

However, that time Davies was not in the employ of the county. If the commissioners engage him there'll be no trouble about getting down- into the mines, the commis sioners said. With Davies at the helm, the Lackawanna county commissioners started in 1907 to boost the coal !an,d assessments. The aggregate then was $4,000,000. and it was sent t;p to $36,000,000 in one jump. In the next triennial assessment $2,000,000 more was added and then in 1917 It was sent up to $100,000,000, ac cording to the data Moyer obtained. And Dgv-.es told Moyer, he said, that all the while the county was boosting the assessment the coal company was reporting that annual ly it was getting anywhere from $18,000,000 to $20,000,000 worth of coal from the mines. Books Changed Davies told Moyer that the assess ment books for the coal mining sec tions of this county will have to be changed and some other records will have tb be modified if the coun ty adopts the Lackawanna county system. Up there the assessment is laid on the acre and regulated by the thickness of the coal veins. Land in which the coal veins are two feet or less thick are not assessed as coal land but that which contains heav ier *veins are assessed at the rate of $3OO per foot of coal per acre. Hence where the vein is forty feet thick, the acreage assessment is forty times $3OO, pr $12,000 an acre. Ex cept whore the coal company owns the surface ground, the coal land is assessed separately from the surface land. And the county has separate assessments on the breakers, and real estate. The $3OO an acre assess ment is about seventy-five per cent, of full value. An examination of the Dauphin county coal lands by a mining engineer, Davies assured Moyer. will furnish the county com plete data with respect to width and breadth of ccal veins and the com missioners say it will provide them with the first real foundation upon which they can boost the assess ments.
