Dss Moinss Dealers Refuse to Sell at

Des Moines, Dec. 22.-The contest
between coal dealers and fuel authori-
ties looks like a stalemate.
Dealers, with few exceptions, refuse
to sell at the fixed price. $5.15 a ton.
State Fuel Administrator Webster
says the price will stand pending
rehearing.
Mr.. Webster also authorized Mayor
John Macyicar to wire Federal Ad-
ministrator Garfield at Washingto ton for
Instructions which may relieve the
situation here.

suit of many complaints that coal
could not be had at any price. Tim
Jewel. proprietor of rooming house at
521 East Walnut street, phoned the
mayor that the Eagle Coal Company
had refused to deliver fuel and that
his guests were suffering.

acter were received causing the mayor
to wire to Garfield:
with approval Of Charles Webster,
state federal fuel administrator,
earnestly request advice as to proper
method Of enforcing order of local COM
mittee relattveeto price Of coal. Dealers
here refuse to sell coal at price fixed

PRODUCE SWEET GRAPEFRUIT.
Grating on Sugar Cane With Remark
able Success.

able Success.
Special to Timee-Republican.
Webster City, Dec. 22.-Down IN
Arizona they are grating grapefruit
on sugar cane with startling and re-
markable success. So says e. III. Mar
tin, former owner Of the Martin Tele-
phone Company, in this city, now a
prominent capitalist in Phoenix, who
Is visiting in Webster City.
Mr. Martin says the Arizona growers
are about to place fruit on the mar
ket that will be vastly different than
all other grapefruit. Growers near
Phoenix have been experimenting for
years along the lines of further de-
velopment Of the grapefruit which Is
Gross" between a lemon and an
orange. BY long experiment, says he,
gro wers have now been able to elm
mate the seeds, the thick rind and the
husk- like interior divisions Of this pop
ular fruit. After accomplishing this
Transformation, they grated grape
fruit branch on sugar cane and now
have q fruit which resembles grape
fruit only in looks.
The new fruit Is sweet, tender, juicy
and thin skinned. Mr.. Martin Is also
authority for the statement that an
analysis of the new fruit shows that 1t
has one-third more feed value than
grapefruit. He says that Arizona grow
ers have said little about their trans
formation of grapefruit because, up TO
now, it has been largely in the expert
mental stage.
Mr. Martin is the owner Of several
large ranches and fruit farms near
Phoenix and during the past year MS
fruit farm has been the center OF the
experiments which have resulted In
this new grape fruit.

ARREST ALLEGED Stacker.
Ralph Stanton, Of Marion, Is Taken
=. Into Custody.

II 80 fIHSS S0oeSSJs
Cedar Rapids, Dec. 22.-Belef thai
Ralph stanton, Marion resident, was
preparing for fight to evade military
service, Deputy United States Marshal
Michael Healy made flying trip to the
county seat late Thursday and took
Stanton into custody. Friday he was
arraigned before Commissioner Har-
wood on charges of being a Stacker
and was sent to Jail in default of $1,OOO
bond.
Stanton's case is peculiar one. On
June 5, registration day, he was
member Of Company c, stationed at
Sabula, and did not register. Later
he claimed exemption on the grount
that he was the sole support OF DC
pendent children and gained MS re-
lease from the army.
The authorities now seek to show
that Stanton obtained his discharge in
fraudulent manner and consequent
ly should be sent back TO the service
1t is charged that Stanton once had
wife and four children, but that the
latter obtained q divorce, two Of the
children being awarded to her and two
to him. However, the authorities say,
Stanton has never at any time contrib
uted to the support Of his two children
who have been taken care Of by his
mother.
In the last few weeks reports to the
federal agents indicate, Stanton has
been extremely pro-German in his ut
terances and has condemned most ev-
erything the government has under-
taken. It was tip from the exemp-
ton board that Stanton was prepar-
ing to leave the country, that caused
his arrest. ~

A man had been looking up some
mistakes and he finds that:
When plumber makes mistake
he charges twice for it.
When lawyer makes mistake he
has chance to try the case all over
again.
When a carpenter makes a mistake
it means an extra"
When an electrician makes mis-
take he blames 1t on induction" be-
cause nobody knows what that is.
When a doctor makes 4 mistake he
buries 1t.
When judge makes a mistake 1t
becomes the law OF the land.
When a preacher makes mistake
nobody knows the difference.
But when home builder makes n
mistake he usually has to live with
it for the rest Of his life.-Ladies'
