MAY PROBE SUGAR
FRAUDS ON COAST
U. S. Inquiry Into Alleged Draw
back Cheating at San
Francisco Imminent

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30:-7'4"A hen the
grand jury now investigating ""'sl.ee g
sampling of sugar at New Orleans lin
ishes it's york, it viii be found that the
frauds against the government there
have been going OH for at least fifteen
years"
This statement was made today by
an official of the customs service, who
said that all the suspected frauds
would be found in the samrling OF
sugar, and in the polariscopic test
which determines the saccharine con-
tents upon which the importer pays
duty.
An investigation of alleged draw
bacl' frauds at San Francisco Is also
imminent 4 preliminary investiga-
ton has furnished information which
leads treasury officials to believe
frauds there viii eclipse frauds in New
York, which the American Sugar COM
pany recently offered to settle for
100000.
Evidence collected by the customs
officials tends to show the government
has for years been paying drawbacks
on Philippine sugar which comes into
this country duty free, was used in
the preservation of California fruit and
later exported as sugar imported from
Java on which duty had been paid.

Forest Ranger Confirms Reports
of Great Damage and
Danger to Miners

CORDOVA, Alaska, Dec So.-Forest
Ranger George Johnson returned today
from an inspection of the Berlng
glacier region and confirmed the re-
ports of the great damage done by the
flood which burst from the glacier last
month.
Johnson also Investigated the where
abouts of II. S. Wise and Kayak Smith,
for whose safety fears were enter
tanned. Wise and Smith escaped in
Jury but underwent thrilling expert
ences and endured hardships in making
their escape from icebergs and cold
water that swept down the Bering val
ley.
Johnson says the force of the flood
when it burst from the glacier must
have been tremendous. Icebergs larg-
er than an ocean liner were torn from
the glacier and swept down stream:
Many bergs carried from the channel
by the eddying current were left stand
ing high and dry when the flood sub

HEAVY CORSET LAcERs BEST
Last Longer and Are Infinitely Moro
Comfortable All the Time They
Are in Use.

Women should learn the value of
adding a pair of extra thick wide silk
corset lacers to the price of any cor
set they buy. It is remarkable how
much easier the corset is drawn to-
gether with these and how much more
comfortable is the pressure OF silk
against the skin than that of cotton
or linen.
Every one knows the truth OF the
last statement. but they do not always
know there are two grades OF these
lacers, slightly different in cost. and
that the length OF life OF the expensive
one and the way it enables one to lace
the corset properly are easily worth
twice the difference in nickels.
The new corset is long over the
hips and II it is laced with thin
string It will bulge in an ugly curve
over the lower part OF the spine. The
thin LAGER is not strong enough to
hold the bones in place and they take
on lines that are ugly. to say nothing
Of being uncomfortable.

age Of injustice to the community It.
self. In the first place. some merchant
loses the profit on sale. Not only
that, but the price OF the article rep
resents so much Of the merchants cap
ital which is tied up in the article and
is not working. Having capital tied
up means that the operations Of the
merchant are curtailed TO that extent.
He has that much less to spend: that
much less to pay in salaries to his
clerks; to pay in patronage OF the
butcher. the baker and the other pur.
veyors OF the necessities OF life: to in.
vest IN property. in newspaper adver-
Using; to deposit in bank where it
may be used by other members Of the
community, or to devote TO church or
charity. The money which goes to the
mail order house decreases the per
capita Of circulation in the community;
factor which determines largely the
value OF all goods or property on the
market; the scale OF wages and the in
teTest on loans.
1t is not hard to trace the effect OF
the diversion OF money from It's legiti-
mate channels. When money Is scarce
trade languishes because OF the lack
OF circulating medium; merchants and
all others curtal expenses: the volume
Of trade decreases and nothing re-
stores activity in trade but an increase
from some quarter Of the circulating
medium. When the volume Of money
increases. trade moves and II moves
as fast as the volume OF money will
permit. Money that is working is con-
stantly producing profit to all; money
that is not working produces stagna-
ton in trade.
Accordingly. 1t is to the interest Of
every member Of community to con-
hne his expenditures as nearly as pos.
sible to the community in which he
lives. Every dollar he spends at home
helps to make his own holdings more
valuable because they are more salable.
When community has money with
which to buy there is little difficulty
to sell and II the money is not divert
ed, 1t reyolyes constantly IN the fnan-
cial circle Of the community. earning
= profit for everyone who handles II
and turns It over.
Accordingly. the money spent at
home Is bearing compound interest for
the community. It's eject is apparent
even to the outsider. Spending money
At home is species Of loyalty which
makes materially for the progress Of
