Sugar Price Jumps 40 Cents a Hundred The wholesale price of sugar was advanced Jn Omaha yesterday from ♦10.BO to $10.90 per hundred pounds, according to quotations by dealers. Retail prices will be from 12 1 2 to 15 cents a pound, grocerymen say. Retailers advise against sugar hoarding or unusual buying at this time, on the theory that this practice Vill'tend to maintain high prices or even increase the cost. Sugar brok ers insist that there is a real shortage. Our Children As a Child Sees. Every father lias been shocked at some time or other by discovering his child's opinion or impression of him. Ho recofrnizes what he knows to be hut an immaterial phase of his char acter, a mere idiosyneracy, and won ders how the child came to believe it characteristic of him. He is hurt to find his child so unappreciative. What do children ace when they look at us? That is rather important when we remember that what they see often they are likely to become through practice. Children see only what their experi ence has taught them to see.

"When 1 ' I gl ow up big I am going to have a | l big chair and a book and a big box : of candy and I’m going to cat 'em and cat '*un and I’ll be big like this," and she blew out her cheeks and pushed out her front in a ludicrous imitation of her mother. Wrath filled v<he lady's soul. "The idea. You'd think that. I was a perfect glutton to hear her talk. And about her own mother. Children are aw ful." There was nothing awful about rocking and eating chocolates to the mind of the child. She thought that would be blissful. The idea that It was not just the thing was in her mother's mind.
