HOW BRITISH ACT
Takes Inflated Sugar Market
Into Own Hands.
Abundance at Moderate Prices
Is Result.

London, Oct. 1.-The report of the
Royal Commission appointed at the out
break of the war with full power to
deal with all questions on the public
sugar supply shows that a great -ex-
pertinent has been made with state So
cialism and with success so that there
has only been a small increase in price
and no shortage of sugar.
The commission practically cornered
the available supply and so checked
speculation for a rise in the price. The
sugar SO cornered was sold to refiners
at fixed price with the proviso that
they in turn should sell to retailers at
moderate prices which were definitely
determined.
The report gives all the necessary de-
tails of the record of fixing prices and
SO forth but says nothing concerning
the sources of supply or the quantity
secured. 1t is understood. however
that most of the sugar was obtained
frlnO Java, Mauretius, Cuba and DEM
erara, and that owing to the depression
of the trade In America the commits
sion was able to obtain all they wanted
at not more than double the antebellum
prices About SOC. 200 tons were pur-
chased at an average of 500 ton, in
volving an outlay Of So. 00O, 900. It is
not expected that the transaction will
involve any loss to the government as
the prices fixed assure a considerable
reserve of profit

especially so. The enormous wheat

Poor Business in Wet Towns.
Mr.. King says that the circus always
does a better business in a dry town than
1t does in a wet town.
I'VE noticed the difference in Missouri"
he said. THE receipts were better in a
ton than in a town where saloons were
open. And business Is better in Kansas
than in Missouri.
Let me give you an example. We
showed in Charlottesville. Ind. this sum
ner and that town was dry. 1t was dry
in more ways than one this year, for the
times apparently pushing on. Yet we
showed to capacity crowds few days
later we pulled into Shelbyville, Ind.,,
where the streets are lined with open sa-
region, crops were fine and there was
plenty of money. The streets were
crowded with people at 80 o'clock in the
1ayed by wreck and we did not get our
parade until about noon. By that
time many of the men had gone into the
thirst parlors and spent their cash over
the bar. They didn' have any desire left
for the circus and their wives and chill
dren wandered up and down the streets
without money and they didn't see the
circus, either. So we played to miserabty
small crowds.
Il have seen this whole game up and
down and backward and across" he con-

this talk about a town needing saloons
and gambling houses to stimulate busi-

SLUMP DUE TO new LAWS

Hunters license feer for the fiscal
year ending July I. 1914, show a falling
off of 36,744.95 over the record for the
year ending July 1, 1913. The fees ac-
cording to a report issued today by W..
u. Davis, state auditor. amounted to
e23 379.4O this year as compared to
total of $50. 124.35 a year ago.
The big slump in the hunting license
fees il due to changes in the hunting
laws of the state which permits only a
limited period Of shooting. Until the
law is changed, 1t is claimed, the fees
will continue to show falling OF. Inc
intent Of the legislature, however. was
not so much to increase fees az to re-
duce the slaughter OF game birds. The
result is a falling off in fees which will
be severely felt by the state fish and
game department. The state fish hatch
cry at Pratt has been maintained from
the fees from hunting licenses and 1t
has been claimed that state assistance
for the hatchery may become necessary
II there is not an increase this year in
the hunting fees.
Seven Kansas counties - Bourbon,
Grant, Kiowa, Haskell. Rush, Stanton
and Stevens-reported no hunting IL
cense fees for the year ending July 1.

port more than 81 900 each in hunting

tai of 81, 1870. Shawnee county is Sec
ond with $1.720.S0.

lows.
