SUGAR USERS ARE
CALLED TO REPORT
THOSE WHO FAIL ARE SOON TO

| ATLAN1tNs Ca, June 2O.-Nanufac-
| turers Of the iless essential foodstuffs,
such as candy and soft drinks, who
use sugar and have not applied for
certificates because they have Ia
sugar on hand to last until July 1,
were directed to return statement to
Federal Food Administrators of their
respective states by June 10. Those
who have failed to do SO are in posi-
ton now of confronting in a few days
a serious penalty. The statement must
show amount of sugar used this year.
amount on hand, requirements for the
future, and the situation in general
to prove that they have prior to June
10, been conforming to Food Admins
tration rules and that they are now
doing so.
Many manufacturers who have
stocks of sugar that bring I'D their
supply for the current year to more
than so percent of last years con
sumption were tempted not to report,
and thereby obtain the full allotment
in the next distribution. Failure TO re-
port on June 10 may cause them not
only to suffer the usual penalty for
this dereliction, but also to be pro
ceeded against as hoarders. Those who
failed to report will obtain no sugar
on further 1918 allotments. These cas-
es will be taken up by the federal
food administrator in the next few
days. =
The so per cent set was recently set
fer makers of non-essential food pro-
ducts because of shortage of ship
tonnage to bring sugar to this coun-
try, 1t is possible. that there will be
further reduction and it is unlikely
that government control of sugar dis
tribution will cease during the war.
Many manufactures have been in
Washington, to ask that the rules be
relaxed in their particular cases. in
order that they may carry on a min
imum organization until the new allot-
ment is made, July 1, for the next
three months, All have been refused,
because it is the desire of the Food
Administration, to be absolutely i'm
partial, But Federal Food Admins
traitors will hear complaints of this
class, even il they have been presented
earlier at Washington.
Manufacturers who now have on hand
sugar that, when added to the amount
already used this year, will bring
their quotas above 80 percent of the
amount used from Jan to July, 1917,
must turn over the excess to their
administrators at once, or be prose-
cuted as hoarders.
Makers of ice cream and other Jesse
ntial' foods are affected by these re-
gulations.

COUPLE CAUGHT
WHILE ON TRAM
John Sullivan and Mrs. Rose NicOts
Arrested mt Twentieth Street
Station.

Deputy Marshals Metcalf and
Murray at sos yesterday after
noon arrested John Sullivan and
Mrs. Rose Moot at the Twentieth
street station of the Rock Island
lines.
Their arrest followed complaint
of Robert Moot, who told the fed
eral officers that his wife was leav-
ing with Sullivan. The couple
had purchased tickets and were on
the train leaving for Peoria, it is
claimed. MetcaIf and Murray were
bound for that city with several
federal prisoners.
In Peoria last night federal au-
thorities questioned Mrs. Nicot
and Sullivan after which they re-
leased them, it is said by the de-
PENDANTS. Sullivan retured to Rock
Island: Moot left this morning, not
knowing that his wife had been re-
leased, to swear out warrant for
Sullivan.
The couple probably was the first
to leave the city as federal prison
ers paying their own rail fare Nat
urally they were not refunded the
money they had spent.

LAY PLANS FOR.
CAMPA FUND
Rural Branches of the Local Red
Cross Chapter Making Prepara-
lions for Drive.

While the Patriots fund takes
care of the city of Rock Islands
share of the second Red Cross war
fund. the rural branches of the To-
cal chapter in the lower end of the

chest. are laying plans for siren

The second war fund campaign
begins on May 20 and lasts until
May 81; it will cover the entire ma

100000, 900 in the work of the
American Red Cross
Last year the hundred million dol
lars was raised when we had been
in the war only two months; this
year our own boys are giving their
lives by the hundreds and the Red
Cross, in its mission of mercy, is
asking for only the same amount.
Each rural branch of the chap
ter has been assigned quota; each
branch is appointing a campaign
committee, putting up posters and
laying "the wires" for drive. The
city of Rock Island and its
branches must together supply
$685. 900. The chapter has no doubt
the rural districts will make as
splendid a record as was theirs in
the liberty loan drive. If the coun-
ty is to do it's share in the central
division quota of $15,000,000 every
bit of chapter territory must make
good on its share.

thorizing the draft of men who

tering has not been set but it is
expected that the same day as last

Exemption board officials expect
that 500 new names will be enrolled
if the law is passed.
All registering here will be done
in the exemption board office. The
registrars will be composed of ex-
emDtion board officials. Cards for
those who are sick and are unable
to leave their homes will be sent to
the house by the exemption board.
The same law applies in this case
as in the first registration day.

considered slackers and will be
treated as such. Penalty for fail
ure to respond to the rules means

CURIOUS TANGLE
OVER NEAR-BE
IS BOBBING UP

For the first time in many years,
what were formerly Rock Island
saloons were open publicly and
flagrantly Sunday But the good
old brands of wet goods were alb
sent. Bevo, White Lily, Waukesha
and other near-beers were on
hand in plenty. but the stuff with
the Kick" was absent. On with the
dirge, We thirsty ones.
Erstwhile enthusiasts of the
flowing bowl in openmouthed
amazement beheld doors. thought
closed forever. swinging wide, and
white-aproned, hospitable gents of
bygone days calmly passing them
out as of yore. Even before the
lid was clamped on, such sight on
Sunday was a rare occurrence in
deed, and was usually followed by
drastic action on the part of city
officials.
An interesting problem has
arisen in this connection of what
per cent of alcohol does snear-beer
consist so that under state and fed
eral law IL may be sold through
out the city? Before local saloons
went out of business, most of them
were selling beer, it is said, con-
tanning about 212 per cent alcohol.
This low percentage was in com
pliance with a war time request or
the food administration.
With the imposition of the half
mile liquor zone here, the govern
ment held that beverages contain
ing over one-half of one per cent
alcohol would be deemed intoxicat-
ing liquor, and as such were barred
from the half mile district. Now
the state law provides that near
beer containing per cent alcohol
be classified as mountaineering
and may be sold as a soft drink.
The situation thus developed is
this, according to city hall gossip:
the dealers outside the dry zone
may sell under a soft drink license
tho same beer which
was sold before the town swung
into the dry column, while in the
zone soft drink deal
ers under the same city license may
sell only near-beers containing
one-half Of one per cent alcohol.
