Mrs. Zell returned from visit to

GOSH, DING 'EM!
'Tis Charged Wholesalers Are
Bootlegging Sugar to Tulsa
Candy Makers.

They're bootlegging sugar in Tulsa
and getting away with it according to
local merchants who have stumbled
on TO the system.
Oklahoma for many years has been
recognized as the only blown-in the
bottle, the-wool bootleggine
country, but not even the most ener-
getic writer of w. G. Il. u. literature
has ever thot to suggest that they
bootleg plain old cane sugar down
in the country where Red Ink, Peruna
and other bitters were once the ma
tional Drink"
You see it's like this.
The price of sugar has advanced
due to the war.
You can't purchase but 25 cents
worth of sugar--due to the war.
Some stores are completely out OF
sugar-due to the war.
Candy shops reap their richest harry
est during the holiday season when
son cries for a striped candy cane,
when She wants box OF bonbons and
Grandma wants gum drops. Holiday
season is candy season.
The only persons who are assured
of n steady supply of sugar are the
Wholesale dealers. according to some
local merChantS-amO them Delne
the one who has discovered the busi-
ness OF bootlegging sugar to the candy
shops. E.
According TO this grocer's story, tho
candy shops are in the market fol
every ounce of sugar to be purchased
In this city candy shops have beer
known TO offer as high as a $40 bonus
on one sack of sugar and besides that
to pay the retail price for the material
With such bait according to the mer-
chant, the wholesalers forget patriot
ism for the moment and deliver" with
the result that merchants are forced
to do without sugar; the people are
forced to do without sugar and the
candy man reaps the profit. 1t was
declared yesterday that one candy
shop in the very heart of the city had
10 bags of sugar up in the small room
behind the shop.
That there are grounds for such bold
statements by the merchants, look
around and see If you see any pros
poets of a candy factory failing tC
secure a sufficient supply to meet tho
Christmas demand for candy. Every
candyshop window in town Is heapeC
full of goodies made from sugar which
the merchants are seeking-which you
are seeking, but which neither car
secure because of the-war and tho
high premium paid by the candy
shops.
