Oyster Supply Still Ample.

Although most of the large fleet OF
oyster boats lying at the wharf mar
ket have disposed of their cargoes two
boat have disposed of but small portions
of their loads and this leaves a fairly
good supply at the market With the
stocks in the shocking houses it is esti-
mated that the supply amounts to about
5000 bushels. With the river full of
ice and frozen almost to its mouth and
with the prospect of freezing weather
continuing there is little likelihood OF
oyster-laden craft arriving here soo1.
This morning prices ranged from IS
cents to 81 and over a bushel. Down
river is a fleet of six or eight oyster
laden boats all ready to come here, but
they are, frozen in harbor.

LAND Case INVOLVED
ALL OF LEESBURG
DECISION RENDERED IN A SUIT
THAT GREW OUT OF WILL
MADE SIXTY YEARS AGO.

Judge Littlejohn, of the South
western circuit, on Saturday handed
down a decision in the case of w. T.
Cooke VS. Lipsey, suit involving
title to practically all Of the land
upon which the town of Leesburg is
situated. The decision finds against
the plaintiff in every instance ex-
cept one, awarding lot No. 20, with
the rental thereon since 1912, to the
plaintiff, who lives at DeSoto. The
case grew out of the will of the late
Dudley Snead, who died at Leesburg
sixty years ago, the document con-
tanning peculiar provision which re-
suited in the suit being brought to
recover land which has changed hands
many times.
The land in controversy is that up
on which the town of Leesburg has
since been built. together with valua-
BILE farming land contiguous thereto.
The case is an extremely complicat-
ed one, and the long period interven-
ing between the death Of the testator
and the last life tenant, during which
time the property has frequently
changed hands by order of court and
otherwise, entailed much labor by
counsel for the plaintiff in their en-
deavor to figure out the many details

COUNTRY PAPERS IN IOWA
DECIDE TO BOOST THEIR PRICE
Will Fix Subscription Rate at 81 a
Year. The High Cost of Produc-
ton the Cause Given.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa.-Forty editors
of western Iowa weekly newspapers
met recently at the Howard hotel in
an effort to devise some means to off
set the increasing cost of producing
the home town paper. The call for
the meeting was issued by the Ben
Franklin club of Moncna county
through its secretary, Frank NJ. O..
Furey, editor of the Mapleton Press.
Addresses were made by G. S. Cas-
well, secretary of the Iowa Press as
ISOLATION and editor of the Denison
Bulletin; G. F. Kane, of the Anthem
Herald; W. F. McQuitty, of the Cor
rectionville News, and E. F. Hamil-
ton, of Marcus, Ia.
The editors agreed that the only
salvation for the country paper was
an increase in subscription rates to
81 year or more and several an
nounced their intention of raising
their rates to this figure September
l. Several letters and kilograms
were received from editors unable to
be present at the meeting, saying that
they were heartily in favor of the
movement and would increase their
subscription rates early in the fall.

THE PUBLIC is ASKED
TO BE SPARING WITH SUGAR
Lack of Ships to Move Crops Creates
Great Shortage This Year.

Reduced consumption of sugar was
asked of the American people today
by the food administration that a
threatened shortage in the allied
countries may be averted. Lack of
ships to move the Cuban and Hawai-
ian crops promptly, it is declared,
makes it necessary that this country
share its sugar supply with Europe
The lack of adequate facilities to
reach the sources of supply, and the
imperative demand to supply the
needs of our allies, constitute the
sugar problem of the United States.
The worlds sugar supply is esti-
mated this year at 18,659,792 tons,
against an average production of 49,
712,997. American consumption for
the first half of the present year was
slightly larger than last year, which
the food administration attributes
to boarding within the household.
The Cuban crop this year was up
to normal, as were the Hawaiian,
Philippine and Java fields. Those
supplies, however, can be moved but
slowly because of the absence of
ships. Both the American cane and
beet crops will be Larger than normal.

When in Heaven with joys to greet
thee,
Where no farewell tear is shed.
