Winninu a Eur Coat.

The artist Hans Canon once painted
Russian prince in a magnificent fur
mantle which took the artists fancy so
greatly that he endeavOred to hit on a
plan by which he might retain posses

trait he omitted to return the garment.

so he made no reply One day when
looking out of a window he saw the
prince coming toward his house. Has

First Conquest Of the Matterhorn.

First Conquest Of the Matterhorn.
The formidable peak known as the
Matterhorn long remained unconquer-

made by Edward Whymper alone.
The ninth was successful. but was
married by terrible catastrophe.
While descending. soon after leaving
the summit Hadow. one of the party
slipped. dragging four others with
him. The remaining three were. well
placed and managed to save them
selves by holding firmly to the rocks.

broke, and they saw their unfortunate
comrades disappear over the edge, to

The TempIars.

The order of the Templars was or
ganized about the year Ills for the
purpose of protecting pilgrims on their
way to the Holy Land and back. The
founder of the order is supposed to
have been Baldwin H., king of Jeru-
salem. For a long time the Templars
was the most highly honored organ
ization in Europe, but jealousy on the
part of the sovereigns, coupled with
their desire to get hold of the great
wealth of the Templars, caused the
persecution of the order, which finally
about 1909 resulted in its practical
extinction. The order was abolished
in 1312-New York American.

200, 100000 Pound Purchase Of
Louisiana Staple BY Hoover
Eases Situation.
CONSERVATION URGED
Supply Obtained Does Not Mean That
Shortage Is Entirely Wiped
Out, Says Food Ad-
mlnistration.

Washington, Oct. 26-The United
States food administration announces
that relief for the sugar famine is IN
sight.
Arrangements have been made for
100000, 900 pounds OF Louisiana sugar
to be shipped into New York, Philadel-
phia and Boston This amount is ex-
pected to prevent an absolute famine
and supply enough for all necessary
purposes
Louisiana sugar producers, after a
two-day conference with John M.
Parker, Louisiana food administrator;
George M. Rolph of the sugar divi-
sion of Mr.. Hoover's staff, and Earl
ID. Babst, president of the American
Sugar Refining company, agreed to sell
the company named 200. 900 900 pounds
of sugar for s13,000.000.
Shortage AIIevlsted.
This plan will not only alleviate the
shortage, but will give the food ad-
ministration its first real grip ON the
retail price OF sugar. The rehners
VIII be able to sell the sugar at
steadily reducing figure, starting from
S.35 cents per pound, eastern seaboard.
and reducing to 725 cents about the
end of the year With the refners'
price S.35 cents. the wholesaler should
not charge higher than $50 cents, 1t
was stated. This figure will enable the
buying public TO get sugar at the nor
NAL price.
Retail Price Causes Concern.
Retail prices of sugar are causing
the food administration much concern.
Prices from the manufacturers are reg
ulated and wholesale dealers will come
under license November /. Two meth
ods will be used TO make the retailer
keep bis prices down. Refners and
wholesalers will be instructed not to
supply retailers who charge exorbitant
prices and publicity will be employed
in every city to show the buying pub
lie what Wholesale prices are, thus to
guard them against extortion by re-
tailers.
The food administration pointed out
that the supply OF Louisiana sugar
does not mean that the shortage is
wiped out On the other hand, con-
servation Is being urged more insist
emily than ever
