SHORTAGE OF SUGAR

sSpreckles OF sugar renown, rises
to.ssay 10 the good people of the
Upited States that much of our SUI
gar is passing on through this coun-
try to Canada because the people OF
Canada are paying more money for
it. He charges food Administrator
Hoover with the shortage of course.
and says that if our people were per
mitted to pay the price for it, We
could still have sugar
This is not reasonable language
1t simply amounts to nothing more
than a stroke Of a defeated profitaee
who had in his mind ito play for big
balance. Hoover has prevented il
and of course Hoover is to be blamed
Hoover has pulled out from under
cover sixty million pounds Of hidden,
sugar and has taken it away from
those who are trying to hold to it for
profit at later time. He has done
this since October /, and the indica
tons are that he will get more of it
as he has time to make discoveries.
1t will be rendered that his first re.
ported discovery was whole train
lead. hidden away in, an eastern cit,
by warehouse keeper who had put
it into barrels labeled top crust"
flour. Spreckles and those who are
locking for an opportunity to charge
a higher price, want to know what
the chances are first for getting .he
food administration out of the way.
il thai one thing is ever possible.
there viii be romping all down the
line in price. and the hidden sugar
.Mill then be brought out for profit
taking. When Spreckles is able to
make the American people believe
they wouidch have plenty of sugar if
they paid enough for it. then he will
be able 10 make the country believe
il has ne further use for the food a6-

Those are holding sugar have moth
ing to lose If they put Hoover
out Of the way, they win have much
to gain. Whenever they are permit
ted TO rob and put it to their own
profit sheet they will let so with
the supply they are now holding in
hiding,
It will take lot more evidence
than we now have to make the aver
age man believe we are really on a
sugar famine, We are using much
less and We are moi making a war use
OF it. Nor is the war affecting the
output in such way as to be felt
as the sugr producers would have us
believe.

Chief John Grass, known as the
'blggest man in Sioux history"

Brave warrior as Grass was
and invincible as a leader CT his
tribe, he loved peace and, as the
orator of the Sioux, figured in
many treaties with the whites
The most noted conference he
ever attended and the one which
attached significance to his name,
was with General Sherman, when
he participated in an amicable set

With Chief Red Cloud, he was
the first chief justice appointed by
the government for the Sioux In
dians.
Grass is the foster father of

One of his last gallant deeds was
the sacrificing of his own ponies
to purchase the liberty of white
women captured by his tribe. He
turned the women over safely at
