A Correction

A little exception was taken to the
article published In last weeks Inde-
pendent in regard to war prices. and
II was brought to the editors atten-
tion that the retail men were not at
all guilty OF raising prices even as
high as they were justified In doing
in the matter of bluing It was shown
that the price of indigo had advanced
from so cents to more than three dol
lars per pound and that the price of
log wood had increased more than $500
n ton: that the price Of overalls had
been advanced by the wholesale mark
ct about $3.50 per dozen. more than
covering the advance made by the
retailers, and that this was an article
on which profit had never been made.
In this country during the last year
coal tar dyes were manufactured to
the extent OF 10000 tons increase over
any former year, but were still many
tons short OF the requirements.

Sugar Factory
News to Date

There have been good many fav.
orable rumors afloat this week in re
gard to the Delta factory.
One was that the contract for the
factory had been let, and also a con
tract for steel.
The company engineer. who has
been away from Delta on business
which required his presence, Is eN'
pected back any day, and with his
coming 1t is presumed more definite
news can be had.
Press dispatches during the week
gave notice that 5000 sacks of beet
seed had been released by Germany
for shipment to New York. and that
1000 sacks additional we're to be re-
leased within n few days.
This will help out materially on this
country's shortage, and If true as
first told to the effect that the pro.
moters of the Delta factory were in
on the purchase of this shapment of
seed. 1t will prove much in our favor.
