Stand By Your Town.

No town can be permanently pros
porous in which the citizens and
tradesmen dependent on each other,
do not patronize each other. The
merchant wants a harness, for in
stance, and although his neighbor is
a good harness maker, and trades
with him, he imagines he can save
fifty cents by sending to another city
or State for his harness. The har-
nessmaker in turns, sends away for
his groceries, boots and shoes and
clothing. The shoemaker sends
away for his coat, and the tailor
sheds away for his boots, and so it
goes.
As a result, the farmers coming in
to trade, see all the tradesmen send
ing to other places for goods, be-
cause, they say, they can save money
by doing so, and come to the con-
clusion they, too, can do better else
where; and then everybody is growl-
ing about hard times and no bust
ness. No wonder, the business men
themselves turn the tide of trade
elsewhere, for if they can supply
themselves to better advantage by de-
priving their neighbor of their trade,
others learn to try the same expert
ment. 1t is a dangerous one to in
augurate Ten dollars is lost where
one is saved, because the entire bust
ness of the place is dwarfed and
hampered thereby.
The fact is, but little is ever made
in going away to trade, and oftener,
counting all expenses, there is a loss.
Show us a town in which the people
make it a rule to not send away for
anything they can get at home, and
we will show you a town in which
business is lively, and everybody
busy, and trade is centered from
abroad. Prices are low and the
tradesmen patronize each other, hav
ing no suspicion that confidence
will be abused. Let it once be un-
.derstood that the business men of any
town are in the habit of sending
abroad for purchases, and the bust
mess will ANGUISH. Having no con-
Bes,ence in each other, how can they
expect others to have confidence In
them? No, that's not the way TO
build up a town. Patronize eacn
other, and keep all your business at
home.

GOOD STOVE POLISH.

Save the SCOT from soft-coaf stove
pipes. Not the ashes, but the SCOT
that gathers in the pipes. Take a
teaspoonful of sugar, dissolve in a
little hot water, then add enough
vinegar to fill a coffee cup; fill a
quart can with the SCOT and stir into
it the vinegar and sugar, making it
stiff enough for polishing paste,
Use as any other polish when stove
is either warm or cold; it will make
a fine polish and will not burn off
besides being very inexpensive.

sugar was delivered to some designated
spot II would be distributed among
group OF men who later would peddie Il
among the housewives
The prices paid by the housewives run
from fourteen cents to sixteen cents a
pound The bogus statesmen" would urge
the women to buy at the high prices be-
cause in few days they wouldn't be able
to get any sugar at all.
Though some Of the prominent grocers
were reticent today as TO what led to the
change in the selling of the sugar, II was
learned that the purchases by bogus board
lng-house proprietors had something to do
with It,
cut or granulated sugar could be purchased
and only then In connection with the pur-
chase of other groceries
We are doing this" said one of the man.
ayers In the grocery department, ito pre-
vent any person from boarding up a supply
or sugar. In this section we do a great
deal of transient trade. and frequently we
don't know every person who comes in to
purchase sugar. For the present we will
only sell two pounds of sugar at time and
only with grocery purchases"
The stores of the American Stores Com
pany, which have branches throughout the
city, were selling not more than two pounds
of sugar to one person unless the GUS
toner was well known to the statesmen on
duty. In many OF the company's stores II
chased IL other groceries were purchased
at the same time.
All three sugar refining plants in this
city have refused TO take any more orders
for sugar They cannot get the raw ma
terial.
These refineries are filling only the or
ders that are now on their books. Their
selling Offices are closed They do not ex-
pect to get further shipments of raw ma
terial before the new Cuban crop comes into
the market in January.
The retail dealers in this city say that
there Is enough stock on hand TO meet the
public need-if the consumer will continue
to buy according to his usual custom and
not hog" his purchases by taking such
large amounts at this time that he robs
the small consumer unable to purchase on
a large scale.
They point out that IL the public will
have no fear Of a shortage and avoid a
panic of buying, the stock In hand will sup
ply their needs They point out that brown
sugar may be used for cooking and other
purposes where this more syrupy product
is adaptable, that It sells for eight anu a
half cents a pound, one cent less than the
will thereby be that much conserved.
Tbs nub of the situation was explained
today by Thomas G.. McCahan. of the w.
j. McCahan Sugar Refining Company, oper-
ating big refinery in this city, when he
said that the Government and the Interna-
tional Sugar Committee, composed OF three
Americans and two Englishmen, controlled
the market.
The refiners are not allowed TO offer a
quotation above that set by the Govern
ment, so that while there is still quantity
Of raw material in Cuba of the last CROP
It cannot be obtained II the growers there
will not sell at the Government price.

viii solidify the people behind the President
IN the determination TO carry on the war to
successful conclusion
It was pointed out today that this attack
had been expected and that Il in no way
indicates that the submarine menace is any
greater than II has been. IL simply marks
the hrst successful blow struck by Germany
at the American lines Of communication
over which continuing stream OF vessels
carrying men and supplies is passing.
The sinking OF the Antilles will result in
the removal OF civilian crews from all
American transports. The Antilles was
manned by n civilian crew, which natur-
ally was not as efficient in the emergency
as naval crew would have been.
Ofclals refused 20 say where the attack
on the Antilles took place No additional
information other than that contained in
the official statement OF Secretary Daniels
Issued by the Creel committee last night
after II had been held up for several hours
without any explanation, was forthcoming
today. II was stated that no further
cables had yet reached the department.
HANDLING NEWS CRITICIZED
MeanWhile there was more or less Bpecu-
laton over the fact that there was an ap-
parent leak" in connection with the re-
cept OF the report. Financial circles yes
terday were concerned over what was de-
scribed as an expected statement dealing
with submarines. Inquiries at the Navy
Department, however. brought forth the
statement that no information regarding
any prospective statement could be given.
Later on In the day when all the informa-
ton dealing with the sinking of the Antilles
had been received It was turned over TO
the Creel Bureau. and that organization de.
cided TO withhold any announcement until
o'clock last night. No reason for this
action has been made public but II had
the erect of augmenting rumors that a
very serious disaster" had taken place
and that presumably the Antilles was
loaded with troops when II was attacked.
As result, many officials today criticized
severely the manner OF handling the news
Secretary of the Navy Daniels today ex-
pressed regret Of "the unnecessary delay"
that attended the giving TO the public of
the news OF the disaster yesterday after
noon He said that steps will be taken at
once to make repetition impossible. He
explained that II has always been the policy
OF the Navy Department TO withhold bad
news until relatives of the victims may be

statesmen.
Recently grocers discovered that uniden-
tined persons have been coming TO their diff
ferent stores making large purchases Of
granulated and cut sugar. Some would tell
the salesman that they were new arrivals
in the neighborhood and were planning to
open boarding houses.
The frequent purchases of sugar by some
Of these so-called boarding house proprietors
created suspicion in the mind OF the big
grocery stores. A watch was instituted
which resulted In many Of the purchasers
being shadowed to outlying sections Of the

ing OF their loss through the newspapers.
but that In this instance no harm could
have been done through telling the public
that transport had been sunk and that
lives had been lost.
Oficials are inclined TO believe that the
submarine which sunk the Antilles had been
lying In walt for n France-bound transport
and that she took advantage OF the appear
ance Of the Antilles to get her unsuspectlng
victim. IL is accepted here that the con
voying squadron of destroyers searched for
the undersea craft, but unsuccessfully as
the report from Vice Admiral Sims en-
phasizes the fact that neither submarine
nor the torpedo which sank the Antilles was
sighted.
PROBABLY DAYLIGHT ATTACK
The comparatively small number OF lost.
when considered with the fact that the An,
titles sank within five minutes, is generally
accepted here to indicate that the former
Southern Pacific liner was attacked in day
light This, however, is n guess, as up to
the present the navy has withheld all re-
ports Of survivors.
When Secretary Daniels reached his desk
today he stated that he had received no
additional Information regarding the sink
Ing, but expected a complete report from
Admiral Sims within n short time He
again emphasized that It would take con-
siderable time to get the exact names and
addresses Of the victims, inasmuch as the
muster roll in France must be consulted
and complete check up of all survivors
made before the identity Of the missing can
be established.
In the absence of details officials were
speculating as TO the number of destroyera

there were more than two or three
Another question which Interested OFF,
cials was whether there were other trans
ports with the Antilles at the time she was
sunk For strategic purposes the transports
sailing loaded with troops have been sent
out In squadrons, which has made the task
OF protecting them somewhat lighter II this
plan Is being followed by the returning
craft, then 1t is entirely likely that the
hostile submarine missed an opportunity to
do even more serious damage. Under the
rules for combating submarine warfare all

The Antilles was well armed and carried
picked gun crew, but at the Navy De-
partment today information as TO the iden-
tity OF the officer commanding the guard
