And waiting for you there.

Sweet flowers ever bloom.

You surely will be there.
The Joy that comes each day TO those

Up there-where streets are gold.
No good-byes ever spoken there,
No parting ever come;
That is the truth the Good Book sayf
When you are safely home.

II you shall faithful stand,
Youll understand-enjo it when
You reach sweet Buelah Land.

 Speculating With
 Carloads of Sugar

(Continued from Page One) storing 40 barrels of sugar, when at that time sugar famine was in view, Ginsberg, would make no reply over the telephone, but said he could show invoices to prove that two-thirds of the 40 barrels have already been sold. He admitted that it would all be sold at more than nine cents pound.
 Other Bridgeport wholesalers are without a barrel of sugar in stock and the buyer of Comstock- -Willett Co.,, one of the largest grocery firms in the city, said today that he had again been to the refineries in New York yester- day and couldn't even get a pound of sugar. Even New York spectators are unable to purchase pound in New York, and it is reported that they have offered Bridgeport dealers as high as 15 cents pound.
 The stock of granulated sugar in the city is practically exhausted and only in few stores was 1t ohtainable today. Lump sugar, however, is more plentiful. but the supply will not last longer than eight or 10 days, ac- cording to we'll informed merchants.
 The National Food Administration at meeting with refiners and whole salers in New York today fixed Il cents pound as the maximum retail price and issued a warning that if any retailers take advantage of the situation that they will be cut off from further supply.
 \ The H. A. Lamborn Co. sugar brokers, New York, made public to- day a statement which it says was au- thorized by the sugar distributing committee. It reads in part: "The beet sugar committee will come to the rescue of New England and Atlantic states east of Buffalo and north of Baltimore during the existing exhaustion of cane supplies.
 Shipments will commence imme- diate1y from all operating beet sugar l factories"

Copenhagen, Oct. 23-Comment from Stockholm newspapers concern ing the policy of the United States to- ward neutrals is quoted by the Ber- lingske Tidende. The Aftonbladet says that the exchange of commodities between Germany and Sweden now comprises only absolute necessities. It contends that Sweden cannot give up this trade even under the threat of losing her imports from America, and is confident that the government will assert Swedish rights.
 eff the parties in the Swedish rigsdag believe American plans will be abandoned when men cherishing greater sympathy for the Entente en- ter the government, says the Nya Dagligt Allehanda their illusion will be shattered. If Sweden gives way to American commands, the situation as between Sweden and Germany will be untenable. On the other hand, unless Sweden yields, we will get no i'm ports.''

GARFIELD, FUEL
 HEAD, ADDRESSES COAL PRODUCERS
Meeting of Mine Owners to Consider Situation In
 Industry.

Pittsburgh, Oct. 23-Coal producers from every coal field in the country are assembled in this city today in a mass meeting, under the auspices of cuss important questions in connec- tion with the coal industry and to hear an address by Dr. Garfield, na- tional fuel administrator.
 The problem of transportation, which the coal men, assert is basic, is receiving attention! The ineff1ciency of labor is another phase that IS put forcibly before the operators, and the necessity of the industry co-ordinat- ing as unit to uphold the govern ment in coping with the present coal crisis is still another feature.
