for help reached Webster City mer-
Giants from the town of kamrar. An
actual sugar famine exists there. Yes

bought at any Of the stores In that
town. Webster City merchants were
unable to help, as sugar is very scarce
here.
One large user in this city gave an
order to travelling man from the Fort
Dodge Grocery Company for several
sacks of sugar. Because the merchant
had a sack and a half on hand, how
ever the travelling man refused to take
the order. He said that each sales
man for the Forge Dodge house this
" eek is limited in his sugar sales to
sixty-five sacks.

In fact, these experts declare that in.

There seems TO be little difficulty in get

IS small doubt that many letters containing
information find their way across the bor-

gers or agents have little difficulty In cross

TO be not how TO get news OF Importance to

There is but one mail route out Of Mexico
