Refusai by Sterekeepers to Sell Sugar Uniess Other Goods Are Purchased

Refusal by Storekeepers to Sell Sugar %Uniess Other Goods Are Purchased
 at Same Time Is Against the Law. So many complaints are coming in daily to the office Of United States
 Food Administrator Scovf1le in Hart
 ford of attempts on the part of mer- chants in Hartford and other cities. including Norwich. to take advantage of the present unsettled situation in those businesses which are or are about to be licensed by the federal food administrator. that Clark T. Du- rant, an assistant to MT. Scoville and a lawyer. who is caring for the statis- tical work Of the ofnce. has made an exhaustive study of all the complaints and examined the evidence in each case. When a Hartford woman had reported that she had been held up nnd prevented from the legitimate pur- chase of two pounds of sugar because she refused to purchase 50 cents or 75 cents worth of other groceries, MT. Durant made the following general comments:
 'Al trade practices on the part of individuals or wholesale or retail deGl- CTS which tended to check the flow of necessary foodstuffs from producer to consumer, whether by withholding the products from the market. or charging a prohibitive price or iInpos- ing other conditions to the detriment of the consumer. have been illegal since the signing of the food admins tration bill on August 10th.
 '"The federal licensing system, in effect November 1, Is one means of endorsing certain provisions of the law. Many practices may be illegal notwithstanding they are not strictly subject to the license regulations, and penalties are provided for all such practices.
 ''The retailer whose business is SO snnan that he is not required to take out a license is no more at liberty to charge an excessive price for his obliged to conduct his business subject to the provisions of the licensing sys- tenn.
 with the wholesale price of sugar af Sc. 12c. or 13c. a pound is an un- reasonable retail price. If this price Is coupled with the requirement that the purchaser must buy other goods in order to get any sugar at all, the unreasonabieness then Is even more apparent. a- "The great majority of persons are undoubtedly conducting tt>ir business in good faith and in compliance with the letter and spirit of the law. and 1t Is hoped by the administration that the licensing regulations as at pres ent drawn will serve as a sufficient guide to all to enable them to comply with the law. The regulations will be extended and made more far cexsary to do so.
 "It is to be remembered that a No
 Mans Land does not exist beyond the
 scope of the present regulations in
 which the law itself may safely be dlsregarded."

James L. Case Receives Telegram
 from John R. Mott.

I sincerely hope your city by ex- ceeding its allotment may show to the nation and world an example of self sacrificing giving in this hour of un- paralleled world need and opportuni- ty, says John R. Mott in a telegram received on Friday by James L. Case, president of the local Y. M. e. A., paign to raise money for the $35, ,0O0,- 900 war fund. The telegram was as follows:
 Boston. Mass, Nov. 15, 1917. James L. Case, Triangle War Work
 Fund Headquarters, Norwich. Ct:
 New England's response for Red Triangle war work fund has thus far been gratifying. Never has there been a like opportunity to invest money in ways that mean so much for our country. for those principles and in stitutions which New England holds sacred and for the comfort and welfare of so many millions of men. The thousands of New England young men who have gone forth to represent us need some visible demonstration of our willingness to join in their supreme devotion and sacrifice. The best de1n- onstration that our hearts follow them is the work this fund makes possible here Eand overseas. And what will it not mean to our allies in helping them through the rigors of another winter ;n field and trench. And to those seven millions languishing in prisons or war. ] sincerely hope your city by exceed ing it's allotment may show to the nation and world an example of self sacrificing giving in this hour of un- paralleled world need and opportuni- ty.

HIGH POP OR Low POP.


The o~steopaths and the c~hiropractors
are having a war before the legislature.
The osteopaths claim that when they
rub q mans backbone down that II is
lowpopohiram and the chiros that
when they rub a backbone up ii is
highpopolorum. The osteos claim
that when a man cant pass an osteo
examination that he reverses the rub
a-dub and becomes a chiro, and so It
goes, So per rub and take your choice,
h~ighpopolorum or lowpopohiram. II
You emerge alive and feel elated and
kiss the cook. IL is highpop, If YOU
come out depressed and kick the cat
over the clock, il is lowpop. no matter
which doctor you have. And the legis-
iature is trying TO decide which school
IS entitled 70 the most credit. Neither
one ever kills anybody. they send for
a regular physician to do that after the
highpop and the lowpop get them in
a state resigned TO die. which makes 1t
easy for ali OF them, And then they
send for a mortician who proceeds TO
mortice them. and the sexton makes
them a tenant of six feet Of Mother
Earth. 1t costs a lot TO live but more
10 die. or in other words. the II. c. OF
D. beats the II c. of l. about TWO laps.

THAT womAN,s REFERENDUM.

Senator Kimball's proposition OF a

| real question of suffrage it is as logical
and sensible as 4 referendum as to
whether any person, male or female
should be granted suffrage. II il is
intended to block suffrage II is another
| casa OF playing politics on a question
that requires grave and c~onsiderate
attention: If it is an attempt to pass
the buck it is unworthy OF senator's;
If II Is merely mcnkeywork and evasion
it IS even more unworthy OF a body
like the Iowa senate.
The question Of whether women

kimball and other members OF the as
sembly. The question or resubmission
is o: curse one for the assembly to
decide. The real question is not
whether all women would o or
whether a majority OF Iowa women
would vote in a referendum but whether
4 majority or a reasonable minority
wants to vote and whether the male,
voters of the state are willing 10 grant
the privilege.
The suffrage election OF last year has
been blown upon. 1t is open to some
what more than suspicion that it was
not faithfully conducted in al pre-
ctncts. The character of the election,
jobbed in with a primary and without
special election boards, the scattering
Of ballots in booths and other circum-
stances surrounding it offer the Suffra-
gists open opportunity for the appeal
they are asking. Ii is Very probable

would have carried. We saved the cost

other attempts at cheese pairing il

to see which company can get them

MOTOR FREIGHT LINES.

| The senate highways committee is
| shaping up a bill to make motor
freight lines common carriers. Some
body started a motor truck freighting
| business between Sillisca and a small
er town twenty-five miles away and
seems 10 be getting a profitable bust
ness. The bill will provide for tax
ing and regulating the motor lines as
common carriers.
The motor truck freight line is GER
tain 10 become an important element
in local freight transportation, Not
only the motor lines which will seek
out short cuts between towns but the
motor trucks that will deliver mer-
chandtse thru the COUNTRY at long dis
tances from the stores where the mer-
chandise was purchased. Those who
dea! IN articles Of hulk and value viii
have their own trucks. Smaller arti-
cles will be delivered probably by ar
rangement similar to the cooperative
methods now in vogue in many cities.
The heavy motor truck with its
heavy load is hard on highways. The
motor freight lines should pay a pe-
cial tax toward the maintenance Of
the roads. So should any heavy truck
which adds 10 the expense OF road
maintenance. But they should have
roads to travel on for their money.
1t will not be very long until the
farm tractor with It's train of loaded
wagons Will be a common sight or the
Iowa roads. When that arrives with
the heavy OTTO truck and the motor
freight lines the roads will of neces-
sity be made 10 carry them. Dirt
roads will not do. When the heavy
