J. has been too optimistic When
cablegrams from Washington state5
that the American government was
going to place an embargo on differ
ent articles the answer from the Nor
wc3ian government to the press, ask
ing how this would affect Norway, was
tha- it only meant that Norway should
guarantee that nothing would be res
exported to Germany, and then Nor
way could get all it needed.
At last, during the past two months
it has dawned on the government thai
the United States means business, and
that Norway cannot expect special
favors as a fayorite friend.

bong allowed Is pounds of bread
monthly, or rs pounds of unsifted

structed to mix potatoes in the bread
dough. With this years crop and the
imported grain in storage Norway has
enough -four till February or March

will grant export licenses for some Of
the grain bought there BY Norwegian
importers and the Norwegian govern

Norway is dependent on imported
sugar, as no sugar is produced here.
The consumption of sugar is still un

very low with no prospect of replace

The scarcity of fat is felt more and
more every day The majority OF the
population have been margarine in
stead of butter, but now that the raw
stUffs for this product are now allow
ed to be exported from the United

FORMER CARRIER OF
 f PAPERS IS CLIMBING
Bob Atkinson, who "Made Goods on Graphic Route, Branches Out in
 Plumbing Business.

Bob Atkinson, who started his buSi- ness career as carrier for The Gra- phic, and who is Pine Bluff boy with countless friends, is progressing right along upward on the ladder of sue cess, and announces in the advertising columns of The Graphic today that he has gone into business for himself.
 Bob was carrying a route for The Graphic when the paper began pub lication of it's daily issue, having the Lakeside route. His old patrons will remember he attended to his job, and gave most satisfactory service. Later he resigned and entered the employ of Robinson Bros. to learn the plumbin 5 business. He has been with that firm continuously, and under the tutelage of his employers he has become an cX- pert plumber. The next step upward is to branch out for himself, which he has done as the Acme Plumbing company, with offices at 503 East Sec ond avenue.
 The Graphic's "boys" continue to make good in whatever line of en- deavor they adopt as this latest in- stance again demonstrates. Inci- dentally. it might be mentioned that three boys are now delivering The Graphic in the territory covered by Bob Atkinson alone when he had the Lakeside route, which indicates that The Graphic itself continues to make good"

 GERMAN PRISONERS

Edinburgh. Scotland, Feb. 19.-The people of the Isle of Skpe and the neighboring islct of Raasay are up in arms over a Geruman invasion Of their territory and have appealed to the government in London to clear their Highland soil of the -unwelcome visitors.
 The trouble is due to the action of a local landowner who is employing a large number of German prisoners. The islanders allege that the prison CTS are being employed not because there is no local labor available, but because the local people will not ac ept the andowner's terms of payment.
 The island of Rassay, which has a population of about four hundred, is owned by the family of wealthy ironmaster, and at the southern end are iron mines. These have been extended since the war began, and arc being worked at a much greater capacity than ever before.
 Many of the islanders have been employed in the mines at wages from fifteen to eighteen shillings a week, but some outside labor has always been necessary, as considerable pro- portion of The islanders decline 10 work underground or are dissatisfied with the terms offered them.

Italian households and bust ness offices have had to revert 10 the ancient method of burning finely powdered wood chacoal dust in q two gallon carthcn jar. The jar is filled half full of charcoal dust paced in the open air or near an open window and some live eOalS of wood or char coal put in the center of the dust, slow combustion is started and gradu- ally the entire surface of the dust burns to ashes while tbe shoulder ing fire reaches downward. When, after r. hours, no more smoke or lit tie gas is given off. the heated jar is placed in the cold room and let stay there for 24 hours, after which a fresh layer of dust is placed in the jar and the process repeated.
 Before the war this means of heat ing had been abandoned except by the very poor.

N DANIEL MURDER MYSTERY WITNESS
 SLAYS HIS WIFE
John Krucker Shoots Di vorced Spouse, Who Tes-
 tified Against Prosecutor.

St. Joseph, Mo-, Feb. 19. John r. Trucker, who killed his divorced wife here Sunday and attempted to kill himself, regaincd consciousness to- day but refused to make an state ment. II is thought that the shoot ing was the result of Mrs. Krucher's refusal 10 rcmarry him. Krucher is under guard at a hospital and will be removed 10 jail as soon as he suffi- ciently rCcovers.
 Rumors that kruckcr and his wife had become rccontilcd and were about to be rcmarricd were current during the trial of Oscar Mcdaniel on a charge of killing his wife. of which he was acquitted. These ru- mors met only with denial
 Krucker and his wife were import ant witnesses al that trial. Kruckcr, wlo testified for the defense, stated on the witness stand that he was still Ill love with hi divorced wife Both Trucker, for the defense, and Mrs krucher for the state were the sub jecs of much testimony at the trial Many statements were made but none went further than to show that Dag mar Krucker was friend of Mrs Mcdaniel and her husband" Their relations were characterized as inti- mate socially. The prosecuting at torney throughout his interrogatons. made Mrs Krucker's friendship one of the chief points of the trial.
 The decree of divorce in tho Krucker case was obtained on the day that Mrs. McDaniel was mur- dered. One of the witnesses, in des- cribing fishing party which the two couples attended told of Mrs Krucker having worn overals as a bathing suit.
 krucker was closely questioned as witness in the Mcdaniel case and said: "I am MT. McDaniels' friend never saw anything in his attitude towards my wife that aroused my sus- picion.'
 The father of Mrs. Krucker said relatives feared Krucker would do her harm and she had been cautioned. He said she only laughed and said Krucker was too cowardly to do any thing. She said McDaniels had been an occasional caller on Mrs. Kruchcl. but came as attorney regarding suit for islander against newsDapers.
 McDanial visited Krucker several days ago but refused to discuss his visit other than to say he talked busi- ness with him
