SUGAR IS SCARCE
AND SALES LIMITED.

Hickman grocery Joobbers were
advised a few days ago by the
Meirath Brokerage Company, OF
chicago, which markets the out
put of the beet sugar manufac-
turers of California, Utah, Colora-
do, ldaha, Ohio and Michigan,
that a sugar scarcity is general
ia The United States, due TO the
ear shortage.
The brokerage company ex-
pressed belief that the scarcity

the situation begins TO improve.
This was unweleome news for the
jobbers, who have been pushed
severely recently to supply their
trade, even partially.
Beginning Oct. 1, firms rely up
on beet sugar manufacturers to
supply them with sweetenin' -
Ii is understood that the supply
of cane sugar at New Orleans and
of beet sugar in the beet produc-
ing states is ample, but that
freight ears cannot be obtained

THE MEXICAN PROBLEM
INHERITED FROM G. o. p.

The Republican campaigners,
from the fault-finding Hughes
down to the humblest crossroads
statesmen, have nothing to say
of the Mexican H7roblem save
during Wilson's administration.
They carefully ignore everything
|bs&rE March 1913, and one
|Gh6r, non-committal sentence
covers all they dare say of the
future If Hughes is elected.
They never mention the hu-
initiating incident of the Ameri-
can citizen taking out a certifi-
cate of registration from the
British consulate at the City of
Mexico to secure protection of
his property. But this happened
when Roosevelt, the Doughty,
was president in 1908.
They never refer to the letter
President Taft in 1911 wrote to
the governor of Arizona, who
had telegraphed him that unless
the government acted the people
Of Douglass, Ariz., would have to
vacate the town: 81 cannot or
der the troops to pass the bor-
der, but must ask you and the
local authorities, in case the dan
ger occurs again, to direct the
people of Douglass to place them
selves where bullets cannot
reach them.

ing patiently with Mexico, can
he find anything more cowardly

LEvEE WORK PROGRESSING
A BOOM TO WEST END.

The Dixie Contracting Co. Is
going right ahead with the build
ing of the levee protecting the
west end of town from periodi-
cal overflows from the Mississip-
pi- Two work trains with full
crews are now on the job, and
with continued favorable wealth
er, the work will likely be COM
pleted right on time. The best
day s work ever done by the citi-
zens of the west end was when
they signed up for the contribu-
tion necessary to get this levee
built. Already property values
have received stimulus and re-
newed interest is being taken In
the up-building of that end Of
town, which without a levee, was
destined to go to the bow-wows.
According to specifications, this
levee is to be considerably above
the government standard, there
fore no uneasiness should be felt
regarding security behind it
when completed. The new levee
will be a dandy; and the Men
gel Box Co. is just about ready
to start on the enlargement work
on the old levee in thes Mengel
Yards, which forms link In the
system now under construction.
The crest of the levee will be a
bout eight feet higher than the
railroad track when finished.

CONGRESSMAN HARRISON
PREACHED DEMOCRACY.

Hon. Pat. Harrison, one of Mis-
sissippi 5 able young congressman
addressed the voters here last
Thursday night with a line Of
coed, old time Democratic doc
trines, which was enjoyed by
Democrats, appreciated by Re
publicans and Independents. He
presented the administration s
view of the labor question, the tar
lff, the Mexican policy, foreign
relations, etc, in a most able and
convincing manner He brought
out Mr.. Hughes record as Gov
ernor of New York, which is
certainly inconsistent with what
he is preaching today. Candidate
Hughes, when governor of New
York, vetoed the two cent rail
road bill and opposed the income
tax, which makes the rich bear
their proportional part of the bur-
den of taxation. He has always
arrayed himself against the COM
mon people and pandered to the
rich, and is now receiving his pay
IN heavy campaign contributions
from swollen fortunes. Harrison
called attention to the fact that
Mr.. Hughes is now advocating
an eight-hour work day, but he
opposes the law recently enacted
for that purpose by the Demo
Gratis because the Democrats
passed IT'D and further that II Re-
publicans in congress voted for tho
act and only fifty-four opposed it.
He said the Mexican situation
was rotten when the Demo
Gratis came into power; if
the Republicans believed in a
different policy, they had the
opportunity to do something
while William Howard Taft was
at the bat-and didn't do it. OF
course the Democrats have had
to deal with the European war
situation exclusively, and it does
seem, In view of the fact that
peace has been maintained
through some trying times, that
Pres. Wilson should be given cred
it for a patriotic and non-politi-
cal effort in keeping this coun-
try out Of war. Certainly, no A
merican citizen wants to see this
country involved in the world
war-regardless Of his political
affiliations-but Col. Roosevelt
frankly admitted that he would
have jumped right on Germany
when the Lusitania was tor
pedoed if he had been president,
etc.
Mr.. Harrison analyized all the
principal issues, and was repeat
edly enchored.
The speaking occurred at the
Moose Club Rooms and these
were packed and jammed. Coun-
ty Judge Stair, with his usual
eloquence and well chosen re-
marks, introduced the speaker.

ponents. Anyone who saw the
game at Lafay cite Sunday, could
not refrain from being a Clabby
booster. for they were against an
eleven that lowered above them.
Battered and bruised they forced
the famed Villagers, backed by a
millionaires pocket book to re-
sort TO the air route for their only
score Of the game. Clabby game
ness kept them from crossing the
Hammond goal line. Pine Village

victory They were outplayed and
only their superior numbers and
weight saved them from defeat.
Throughout this battle Captain
Blocker fought as he fought at
Purdue. never once shirking the
duty that was before, when he was
in such a condition that a less
gamer man than he would have
quit I have been an admirer Of
Blocker ever since l saw him play
his first game at Purdue. and the
spirit he has shown this season
cannot but help arouse the feel
ings of gratitude of Hammond
people.
Please allow me to add my name
to the list OF Blocker boosters for
some fitting sort of tribute to him.
