SCARCITY OF BARLEY
MAKES SCARCITY BEER

Florence is threatened with beer
famine, or least Of SO radical an ad.
vance in the price of the commodity
as to place it in the ranks of luxuries
such as champagne. 1t is all because
of the unprecedented advance in the
cost of barley, with a danger that the
supply may become exhausted no
matter what price is paid. Barley,
it might be remarked. is the founda-
tion of beer, for it is from the malt
which is derived from barley that
beer is brewed.
Advices from Chicago are to the
effect that the scarcity of barley is
seriously crippling the breweries and
malt houses and that the brewers and
matters have already exceeded the
profit line in their efforts to gain pos.
session of the few carloads of barley
that are going into that market. The
Chicago brewers declare that they are
not making dollar under present
conditions. and there is every reason
to believe that marked advance in
the price of beer must be made and,
as the saloons are maxi ing little or
nothing under present conditions.
many of them, it is estimated fully
/ 900 in Chicago alone, would be fore
ed out of business in the event of a
raise in the price.
Martin Walter, of the Walter Brew
ing Co., Of Pueblo, in an interview
with the Pueblo Star-J Journal, con-
firmed the story of the unprecedented
raise in the price of barley, but lie
was not prepared to say whether an
advance in beer prices would be made.
'We are getting all the barley we
need at present. said Mr.. Walter,
"but we do not know who the supply
is going to keep up. Last year we
paid So cents per bushel for the best
barley, while now we are paying
81. 26 per bushel for the same quality.
We are forced to use only the best,
and it seems that the best is hard to
get even at such exhorbitant prices
With $l.26 barley the margin of
profit is wiped ont and it is proble-
matte rs to how long brewery can
operate ut loss.
''We have not talked with the
other brewers as to the matter of
prices. aud nothing can be done in
that regard until they are agreed as
had hopad that the scarcity Of barley
was due to the monetary striDgency
which prevented the moving of crops
because money was not available, but
1t would look as though if this was
the cause of the difficulty, it would
begin to let up now instead of get
ting worse as it seems to be doing,
and there is possibility that the
present condition is due to croy
failure, or at least to the existence
of partial crop.
IF this is true we cannot expec,
any relief, and necessarily we must
advance prices, but If the trouble &,
that money has not been available tc
move the crops we can expect that
the condition will soonbe relieved.
We have not considered an advance in
tho price Of beer Ms yet, but of course
IL the present price of barley is main
tained. or II 1t should be advanced,
we would necessarily be compelled te
put up prices"

When angel hands gathered sweet

They plucked from earth's garden,
a dear little child:
And.bore her in peace to God, who had

Thelsweet precious darling so fair and
so mild.
Vast floods of sorrow, from eyes that

Cease not to flow from life's fountain

While sunbeams Of mercy through dark

IT'S well, for dear Althea is safely
sheltered above.

The store window is at all times one of

trade-getters that the merchant can
make use of. All attractive window
displays always draw the attention of
the shopper, and if, besides being at
tractive, it contains any suggestions, it
is bound to sell the goods. If the mer-
chant or any of his clerks, who may
have more talent along this line, will
devote little earnest thought and
time to getting up a series of attrac-

he will find that it will tend to material
