It's needless for Us to discuss the
electric light proposition. Acting
Mayor B. Fl. Barre has covered the
ground very thoroughly in a card else
where in this issue, and the people
can see for themselves just what they
are going to get. In our. opinion it is
the greatest opportunity the people of
Lexington have ever bad to do some
thing for the development and further
advancement of the town. Let every
body work and vote for the lights in
next Tuesdays election. Remember
that your taxes will not be raised one

HOUSEWIVES IN
ARMS OVER RAISE
IN SUGAR PRICES

please put two Jumps Of sugar in
my coffee this morning. Mary?"
Il am sorry, John, but you cannot
have them, You see, sugar has gone
way up in price. Two Jumps now In
gross extravaganza. We will soon have
to keep it in our safety deposit vault
This is a cample of the conversation
which took place at many breas1fast
tables in this city today, and, as a rule.
John got only one lump of sugar or
one spoonful. OF course, he made a
wry t. ce.
And to make matters worse, this is
the time of the veal when women are
busy canning and preserving. Many of
them in this city have declared a boy
colt on sugar. They are firm in their
resolve to do no canning or preserving
this year.
1T will be cheaper they say. 10

put it UP ourselves, and we are not
going to MAKE the trusts pockets bulge
any more"
Some of the women who like To do
their own preserving are using. sac

as sugar, and In the long run is
cheaper.
Women throughout the city and
State are up in arms against the in
creased price of sugar. Last Wednes-
Gay 81 pounds could be purchased for
% or "a cents. Today the same amount
cost 2 cents. And the end of the soar
ing is not In sight. Two years ago
33s pounds of sugar could be purchased
for 16 or II cents
Mrs. George B. Gushing, president of
the New Jerseys Consumers League,
said today that as far as she knew the
league wouldn't take action on the
increase In the price of sugar, although
the question may come up at the meet
ing in October. She said tina at pres
ent the league is waging a war for pure
food, and that ii placed pure food even
above cost.

fringe of her eye-lid clear against the
soft shadows of her profile, | imagined
in her something of the enchanted
