day called upon superintendent G. a.

there is a reel of pictures showing

showing ants in their homes are

Many Private Citizens
Will Take Advantage of
ArbOr Day to Plant Trees

Inquiries at the Park Department
office for information about tree
planting and the offer of the depart
ment to sell trees from the Island
nursery at twenty-five cents each are
increasing. Public interest in the OBJ
servance of Arbor Day next Thursday
and the planting which is planned by
the state in Capitol Park has been
aroused to the extent that many resi-
dents in the city will probably plant
trees next week also. A number of
persons already have obtained their
trees from the Park Department and
have planted them.
At the school board meeting this
afternoon il was planned to call the
attention of the directors to the
planting movement and to have the
teachers in the schools give talks on
conservation and planting of trees.
The Park Department employees at
work on the slopes of the river bank
which recently were riprapped have
planted the block from Mcclay to
Feffer streets with matrimony vines,
Other plants and shrubbery will be
planted along the entire length OF
the bank as far as the riprapping has
Leen completed.

FEAR SUGAR
WILL GO TO TEN
CENTS. A POUND
Retailers Believe 1t Will Go
That High Because of
Shortage

Sugar cannot go beyond ten cents
pound, Government officials an
Eounce, but wholesalers and retailers
In this city are of the opinion that
the high level will be reached here
speedily.
Food Administrators Hoover. in
recent interview, intimated that the
recent advance of granulated sugar
by retailers to nine cents and more
per pound is absolutely unwarranted.
When questioned by a representa-
tive of the Telegraph to-day. whole
salers in this city declared that any
dealer who sells sugar under the
present conditions at nine cents
pound is losing money on every
pound that crosses his counter Nine
and half cents a pound is declared
to be a very reasonable figure, and
| dealers do not hesitate to say that
, sugar will be selling at ten cents be-
fore long.
Sugar Is Scarce
Sugar is scarce. This year the
United States has exported over
eighteen times as much sugar as it
| averaged in the three years before
| the war. Wholesale houses are un-
| able to secure an adequate supply,
and retailers are securing only
enough of the product to meet their
| Immediate demands.
The consumption of sugar in the
United States averages about ninety
pounds per year for each person. The
Food Administration has asked the
saving of seven ounces a week per
! person. If this were done it would
still leave us a per capita consump-
tion of 81 pounds per annum, as
compared with rs pounds in England.
Is pounds lin France and IL pounds
in Italy.
Cannot Control Prices
If the shortage of sugar is not
relieved, it may become necessary
for the Food Administrator to issue
| regulations to candy manufacturers
who do business on a large scale
Forty per cent. of the sugar con-
sumed in this country, it is claimed
goes into the manufacture of candy
Under the present law the Gov
ernment does not control retail
prices. Asked If he would go before
Congress in December for power to
regulate retailers, the Administrator
replied that the conduct of the re-
tailers in the meantime would decide
what he would do in DecenS.ar. The
facts indicate strongly that Govern.

Not shown by Argument

After quoting opinions in previous
cases of similar character, the court
says that "it has not been shown that
any one of the plaintiffs received a
majority of the total number of votes
cast for either of the vacancies or
offices (the two vacancies to be filled
in each case representing two offices)
end 1t is impossible to ascertain that
fact, the vacancies for which they
were candidates not being dtstin-
guished in any way one from the
other. 1t is conceded that no one of
them received a majority of the total
number of votes cast for all of the
candidates for the two vacancies in
the office. We must therefore con-
clude that they have not established
their right to become the sole NOM
inees for the office from the official
hallot" The court then quotes it's
opinion in previous cases to the effect
that the burden of proving right to
be sole nominee" rests upon the
plaintiff, and that "in case of doubt
as between a special privilege and
the freedom of elections, the doubt
ought to be resolved in favor of the
latter. The motions to continue the
preliminary injunctions were over
ruled and the injunctions dissolved.
