USES FORD ON THE ICE.
Game Warden's New Manner OF
Catching ViOlators.

Perry, Ia, Feb. 5.-Lew Stanley,
a deputy game warden for this coun
ty, has nicknamed his Ford car THE
Sneaker" and the machine is living
up to it's name.
Stanley has been putting in con-
siderable time this winter looking
after the men who violate the law
regarding the spearing Of fish. A
few days ago, when the river froze
enough to hold his car up, he drove
it onto the ice and started up the
river.
When he saw a party of men near
Minburn engaged in spearing fish
the machine brought him to them
before they had a chance to get
away. Eight were caught in the
raid, and each paid a fine for his
sport.

EUROPEAN SUGAR SHORTAGE
(By United Press.)

Washington, Oct. 1S.-Compared with Americas average consumption of ninety pounds of sugar per person a year England and France are almost without this commodity. The English person, who is pre-war times con- sumed his ninety-three and a third pounds a year, is now allowed one-half pound a week. In France the allot- ment is but eighteen pounds year.
 The British government has been careful to announce that it cannot guarantee that even the half-pound allowance can be obtained and a sugar card for family is issued only for the number of persons sleeping in the house. In a public restaurant, if sugar is taken on cereals, the person must do without sweetening in his coffee. It is now customary for a lady, invited out to tea, to take her sugar with her. She is also expected to bring her own cake.
