Mrs. F. William Albertine.

Abbott, pastor of the United Congregational church. The home was prettily decorated with seasonal flowers and palms and the ceremony was attended by a large num- ber of relatives and friends of both fam- ilies, many coming from ouf of town.

Thunder always follows lightning because of the electric discharge, as it breaks its way threugh the atmesphere, Instantanecusly heats the air in its path. This sudden heating causes a violent expansion of the air aleag the path of the lightning flash and a vie- lent compressien of the cosl air far- ther away. This precess starts a great air wave, which is the thunder. When a lightning flash occurs near by, the sharp, cracking reperts come from its branches, and the heavy crash comes from the trunk of the flash. Instinct, Possibly.

The list of the incorporators contains the names of some of the leading busi- ness men of the community as follows: Angus Park, of Hanover, Mayor H. M. Lerou, Corporation Counsel Edwin W. Higgins, Timothy C. Murphy, Joseph C. Woorth, Charles A. [Saxton, Louis J. Fontaine, Daniel T. Shea, William H. Oat, Judge John M .Thayer, Martin Rozycki, Dr. Edward C. Brewer, Emil M. Fox, Fred G.

Mann, who up to June 15th of this year, was president of the Park Prust company of Worcester, Mass., a bank in the organization of Whil in 1915 he took an active part and of which he was continuously an of- pose of this department is to make loans to small borrowers in sums of $50, $100 and $200 or so at six per cent. interest, which tends to bring. the people and bank closer together. The plan has been tried out in many cities and was especially successful in the Park Trust Co. In a general way industrial banking is a department of a trust company that conducts ban'ting business with the minimum of expense and the maximum of flexibllity meeting the requirements of 87.04 per cent., ac- cording to a recent census, of all Ameri- can people who lack banxing connection, and at a legal rate of interest, allowing the repayment of loans made under this pian in small systematic weekly pay- ments, thus making it possible for de- serving thrifty people to secure money tor any emergency which may arise, or to liquidate obligations previously con- tracted. It is intended to make this a <reat popular institution and for that purpose a smany of Norwich's citizens as possible are being interested in the ficer until he sold his stock.

Mr. Mann is well known in Connecticut and New England banking circles on account of the success- ful banks he has organized, among which are the Federal Trust Company, Bridgeport ; Stratford and East Hartford Trust Companies as well as the Willl- mantic Trust Company and others. In 1914-15 Mr. Mann reorganized and was president of the Gloucester, Mass, Na- tional bank, which enjoys the distine- tion of being the sixth oldest commer- cial bank in the TUnited States.

SUGAR CONSUMPTION IN UNITED STATES AT NEW HIGH RECORD Sugar consumption in the United States will make a new high record in the fiscal year ending with this The quantity imported from foreign countries, says a statement the National City Bank of New , was greater in the ten months for which figures are Tow available than in the corresponding period of any preceding year. 2 The domestic production of the year was bigger than ever before and the exportation only about one-half that of corresponding ten months of the pre- ceding year. These official figures of the ten months imports and exports plus the domestic production for which a record is already established, adds the bank's statement, give a new to- tal available for consumption so much in excess of any earlier year that we may not be surprised if the official figures showing the average per cap- ita consumption in the fiscal year 192 Will Visit in New York State. Mr. and Mrs. Alexander P. Williams and daughter Alice left Norwich on W‘ednesda:_/ for an extended visit with relatives in western New York state.

(Eh Tooond e, M pE e P and 89 pounds per capita in the high record pre-war year of 1914. This increase in sugar available for consumption in 1921 as against the al- ready established record of 91 1-2 lbs. per capita for the fiscal year 1920 is not due to material increases in im- ports from foreign countries or our Islands but to increased domestic pro- duction and a big fall off in the ex- ports. While the records of imports from foreign countries do show an in- crease of 23,000,000 pounds in the ten months ending with April, 1921, as compared with the corresponding ten months in the fiscal year of 1920, the former high record year, the imports from our islands in the same period show a slight reduction, suggesting that the total quantity of sugar brought into continental United States in hte fiscal year 1921 will not differ materi- ally from that of the fiscal year 1920, but the fact that the domestic product- ion in the past year exceeded that of any earlier year by about half a bil- lion pounds and that the exports in the current fiscal year are only about one-half those of 1920, makes it ap- prent that the quantity available for consumption in the fiscal year 1921 will materially exceed that of any pre- ceeding vear.

A: erage import prices of raw sugar ship- ped to this country ranged from ljc per pound in March to 16 1-2 in June then slowly declined to 15c per pound in September, 11.3c in November, 9.8c in December, 6.lc in January, 1921, and 49c in March and April, though the average import price of raw sugar imported from foreign countries in the ten months ending with Ap 1921, was 10.4c per pcund against 9.1c in the full fiscal year of 1920, 5.6c in 1919, and exactly 2c per pound in the fis- cal year 1914, all of which year pre- ceded the war. Thus the imoprt price of the raw sugar imported from for- eign countries in the ten months end- ing with April, 1921, averaged just five times as much per pound as in the fiscal year 1914, while the per capita consumption for 1921 will, de- spite this guintupling of price, be mat- erially greater than when sugar was being imported at 2c per pound as against 10.4c in the ten months of the current fiscal year for which fig- ures are now availablel. ‘The exports of refined sugar in the fiscal year 1921 adds the bank's state- ment, show a big fall off and will amount to but about one-fourth as much as in 1920, the total exports of refined sugar in the ten months end- | ing with .April 1921, having been but 311,127,455 pounds against 004 in the same months of last g though the re-exportation of foreign sugar in the form imported enormous- ly increased, showed for the nine months ending with March, 1921, for which figures are now available, 169, 941,345 pounds against 1,764,984 in the months of 1920. Thus this increase ig the quantity of raw sugar re-export- | ed, when taken in conjunction with; the tremendous fall off in exports of refined sugar, makes it apparent that the combined exports of refined and raw sugars in the fiscal year 1921 will }x;monly about onehalf as much as in This increase in consumption by the people of this country, adds the bank's statement, will porbably place the Un- ited States at the lead of the list of world’s per’capita_consumers of sugar. Prior to the war, Great Britain's sugar consumption was slightly more than that of the United States, standing at about 93 pounds per capita, while Australia was still higher than the mother country but British consump- tion has fallen off to 63 pounds per- capita in 1920, making it apparent that our own per capita consumption in the fiscal year 1921 will exceed that of any other country except possibly Au stralia for which no recent consump- tion statistics are available.

Their total exports in the month of April, says a sjatement by The National Bank of New York, were only $171,000,000 as against $352,- 000,000 in the same month of last year and March was as bad, having totaled only $190,000,000 against $390,000,000 in March of the preceding year. February Was not as bad as March or April, the to- tal far thi\ month being $264,000,000 against $310,000,000 in February of last year, while January, 1921, showed an actual increase over January, 1920. It is in the last three months that the sud- den and startling fall off in our exports of manufactures occurs. January exports Wwere in fact 24 per cent. larger than those of January of the preceding year; February showed a decline of 15 per cent. March a fall of 51 per cent. and April a like fall, of 51 per cent., in the value of manufactures exported as com- pared with the (4 responding month of the preceding year. These figures, adds the bank's state- ment, of course relate to values only. Doubtless o considerable proportion of the decline, perhaps as much as one-half, occurs as a result of a fall in prices of the articles exported. Unbleached cot- ton cloths, for example, were exported at 10 cents a yard in March, 1921, as com- port at once. Signed A. C.

Manufacturers form from 75 per cent. to 60 per cent. of our ex- ports to the Orient, South America and Africa, and €5 per cent. of those to g neighbors of the North American con-| tinent and as a consequence the March figures show that exports to Asia, con- sisting chiefly of manufactures were only $39,000,000 against $109,000,000 in March of the preceding yea South America $28,000,000 against $54,000,000; Oceania $15,000,000 against $20,000,000; Africa $9,000,000 against $17,000,000 and North America $96.000,000 against $153,000,000.
