CR0CERS FORESEE SUGAR FAMINE
Unless Relief is Obtained Here Early Next WeekWhoe saers' Supply Practically Exhausted-Re6ners Not Fill ing Orders-Give Notice They Will Not Answer h. quries About Related Shipments.

Norwich buyers of sugar learned on Friday that the sale price of that necessity had gone up. and one of the best known wholesalers Of the city said on. Friday night that he could see nothing short of a sugar famine in the city unless relief is secured early next week.
 s On Thursday all the refiners except two or three made the announcement that their price to wholesalers had ad- vanced from s6.75 per 100 to $7.50. On Friday the refiners who had held to the lower price the day before, announced the advance to s7.5O so that all the producers are now making the same quotation.
 And the worst of the local situation, said a Norwich wholesale grocer on Friday, is that the stock here Is. prac- ticalIy cleaned out and there is no more to be had from the refiners. One Norwich wholesale firm is said not to have barrel of sugar on hand and the others are understood to have had their stocks depleted to almost noth- ing by the recent heavy demand and the inability to get shipments.
 Refine-s Answer No Questions.
 The Norwich wholesalers have been expecting to receive shipments every day to replenish their stocks, but they have not come and now the refiners have sent out a notice that the whole saIers need not bother to write in quiries about delayed shipments for such inquiries will not be answered A week ago the refiners were flooded with orders which they could not fill and their only answer to anxious in- quiries has been that they were doing the best they could and they would f1r orders in their turn as fast as possi- ble.
 Another development in the situation is that the war in Europe has cut of the supply of burlap sacking in W licf the sugar was put up in 100 pound bags. Most of this sacking has come from abroad and in consequence of the cutting off of this supply, the refners are cutting down orders for sugar 1T bags and advising their customers tC order in barrels.
 Puts Blame on Consumers. In speaking on Friday evening oi the sugar situation a, Norwich whole saler referred to an editorial in tht

Importing House Sends Notice to Nor

In the present conditions when prices on foodstuffs are going up. it was an interesting development that the Norwich agent of one of the larg- est importers of tea and coffee had a notice from his firm that while there had been an advance in tea and coffee of five cents per pound, they would not advance the price further as there is no necessity of 1t. This importing house further advised that they would discourage all offers of large orders and would confine their customers to orders of usual size. doing this much to discourage and check possible spec u1ators in these commodities

For several days now she has been
continually at the piano The new
interest in music she has shown is in
itself surprising enough. But It has
not been ragtime or popular airs that
have engaged her.
Che had been singing nothing but
devotional music
When Tom first came upon her at
a hymn, her face aglow with a most
seraphic expression, it was only with
an effort that he was able to suppress
a wild impulse to laugh.
At the end of the third day the fam
lily was greatly relieved to discover the
cause of Peggy's behavior. It was not
as Tom suggested the result of being
dropped on her head while very young.
Mother told them-and with a tone of
pride and satisfaction-that Peggy was
planning to sing in a church choir
Before the full-length mirror in her
room, the music in her hand, Peggy
stands to study the effect of her pose
and expression. She is not to be re-
buked IL after a session of this she
feels some little satisfaction with her
general air and demeanor as she sings
She finds that she is able to assume
facial radiance most serenely beatific.
At the sight of her eyes raised to
the empyrean and with parted lips
she pauses to note the exact attitude
of her lips and proceeds not dis
pleased-at the sight of her thus the
most cold and unfeeling would be
moved to accord their warm approval.
Peggy should be a distinct hit in the
choir.
The Gray family still feels little
puzzled in the matter. 1t has devel-
oped that Peggy plans to sing in the
choir and now 1t is to be seen why she
wants to sing in the choir. However,
they know that the answer will soon
be forthcoming. And with admirable
patience and resignation they sit back
to await the next chapter.

Waiting to enshroud the dead.

For the slaughtered brothers sleeping
On the blood-wet earth below.

For the flags of war crazed nations
'Gainst Gods blue are madly hurled!
