site FOR
MOCCASlN FACTORY
Carl Dommer Will Erect Building on
Fifth Street, Between NJ. p. Tracks
and First Avenue.

Carl Dommer has purchased the lots
on Fifth street south, known as the
K. P. property, between the N. p.
track and First avenue south.
His business has increased so rapid
ly that he has found it necessary to
secure larger quarters and the pur-
chase Of the building site is the first
move.
Mr.. Dommer is making a winter
moccasin that has become very
popular in a short time; he made the
first pair as an experiment about three
years ago. Now the demand for this
new shoe has outgrown the facilities
of Mr.. Dommer's shop.
He believes this is the time to take
advantage of the increasing demand
and make provision for a larger prod
uct. The plan Is to form a stock COM
pany, of which Mr. Dommer will be
manager. A two-story factory build
ing will be erected and additional ma
chinery installed. The heavy ma
chinery and storage will be in the
basement and the first floor used
exclusively as a factory and sales
room. The upper floor will be finished
with apartments; but will be so con-
structed that but little change will be
necessary when the room is needed for
factory purposes.

TOWN HAS NEW NIGHT
WATCHNIAN NOW

At the regular monthly meeting of
the city council. held in the council
chamber Monday night. Charles Fer
guSon was elected as night watchmar
TO succeed James Goodwill. resigned.
Mr.. Goodwill has been on the Job for
long time. but felt that with the
amount of pay offered at this time he
could no longer give his time to the
work. He did his work satisfactorily
but with additional responsibilities
required of him he did not feel justi-
fed in keeping the position any
longer.
The new night watch, Mr.. Fergu-
son, will no doubt give equally as
good satisfaction. He is capable of
filling the position and we are posi-
tive that he will give a good account
of himself.
The council also persuaded Coey
Petty TO remain in charge of the
pumping station. He had sent in his
resignation on the ground that he
wanted to get ready for the thresh-
ing season He thought he could hire
competent help to run the threshing
outfit more easily than the city could
find a competent man to take charge
of the pumping station. The coun-
ell felt that Mr.. Petty had given the
best of service and the members OF
that body would not listen to mis-
quitting the job unless il was absolu-
tely necessary. Mr.. Petty reconsid-
cred the matter and assured the coun-
Gil that he would remain for the
present at least.

this building was in a sadly delapid-

barn was torn down. the north side

members of the fire department. took
a picture of it and cut of it was
published in the city papers not long
ago.
The city was unable to erect a new
building at this time. so decided on
making the necessary repairs to pro-
vide adequate headquarters for the
automobile fire truck and other ap-
paratus belonging to the fire depart
ment.

Around Milestone, where they usual
ly have enormous crops. this year
they will have practically nothing.
Mr.. Bonwell visited in Alberta and
the Saskatchewan districts. where he
owns considerable land. He says that
early in the spring there was no rain
fall and later in the summer the
/ weather was extremely hot. in fact
hotter than at any other time in the
history of the country. Yet he is
not discouraged with his investment
and neither are the people who. live
in that section of the country. For
several years past they have had good
crops, and they are living in hopes
that next year the yield Will be so
abundant that the loss this year will
not be felt.

 ID CONTROL SUGAR
TRepubllcan A. p. Leased Wlre1

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-The en- tire American sugar industry will be placed under government control Oc- tober l, the government announced tonight, by the institution of a li- censing system to include manufac- ture, refining and imports. The step was decided on with the approval of President Wilson to prevent specu- lative prices and to assure equitable distribution.
 The critical situation in the sugar markets, anticipated during the fall months, makes prompt action neces~ sary." said the announcement. The sugar problem being one of distri- button as we'll as one of supply, the solution is to be brought about by voluntary agreements with the trades, the essential priciples of which al- ready have been settled"
 Beet sugar producers already have accepted a scale of prices suggested by the food administration which means a saving to the consuming public of more than $30,000,000 be- tween now and the first of the year. Cane sugar refiners have agreed to import all their requirements through 8 committee to be named by the food administration.
 Institution of a licensing system will prevent hoarding and will insure a stabilized price.

DISCUSS PRICE ID
 BE PAID FUR COPPER
TRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Sept H. Prices the government will pay for copper for it's war uses were discussed at a conference today of the war industries board and a delegation of copper pro- ducers headed by John D. Ryan of New York. An announcement as to the governments requirements and the prices to be paid will be made. it was said, after the meeting, perhaps to- morrow.
 The allies have just placed orders for 77,000, 900 pounds of copper at 25 cents a pound to be distributed among all producers. Since the order was placed through the war board, it is considered certain that this price serves as some indication of the prices the American government will pay. It has been stated that in fixing prices for metals the government will pay stimulating figures on the ground that only through high prices can produc- tion be increased.
 The war board has had under con sideration for nearly a month copper cost of production figures furnished by the federal trade commission.
