MUST SIGN FOR SUGAR.

Wichita, Kas., July 22.-0wing to
the sugar shortage, grocers who per-
sistently violate rules will not get an
allotment of sugar for August, the
Food Administration announced to-
day. Some of the grocers who fail to
require that pledges be signed by
householders with every sugar sale
will find that q plea Of ignorance will
not help much.
The householder's pledge requires
that before he can buy sugar he
must go to his retailer and sign q
statement, showing how many per-
sons there are in his family, and he
must pledge his household to live or
three pounds Of sugar per person pei
month.
This pledge must be signed with ev'
cry sugar purchase. The Food Ad'
ministration finds that some retailers
have neglected to require the pledges
When such retailers ask for theii
August supply they will be unable Il
show what they did with their July
supply because they failed to require
the pledges. Arrangement has beer
made SO that the pledges can be sign
ed at the home by the housewife II
case the sugar is delivered. The Of
fetal bulletin of the Food Administra
tion, which has just been sent out u
county and local administrator
states:
'Tn case sugar orders are phOned
the retailer can send a pledge on
with the delivery wagon and tn
pledge must be signed before tn
sugar is left"

The Rialto, owned by Kansas City
parties, closed down since the middle
of June, will soon be in operation
again, according to reports. Playter
Brothers, of Joplin, well known oper-
ators and owners of several big prop
critics in Kansas, Oklahoma and Mis-
souri,, are said to be negotiating for
the Rialto, either under lease or pur-
chase. The Rialto is surrounded on
all sides by big producers, such as
the Croesus, Admiralty, Goldenrod'
etc., and the mill is one of the best
in the Tar River district; a modern
flotation plant has been used with de-
cided success since the mill was built
a year or more ago. 1t was closed
down because the managers desired
certain changes made and because OF
the then low ore prices.

Here are some interesting points
handed us by John Tindale about Will
liam Hohenzollern. 1t is taken from
some advance press matters on the
play "The KAISER" and is much more
interesting than the usual press mat
ter. Mr.. Tindale will show the pic
ture at the Airdome the coming Fri
day and Saturday:
Did you know that the Kaiser had a
poison-filled abscess in his ear, and
that if it burst he would be q raving
maniac?
Did you know that the Kaiser's left
arm is six inches shorter than his
right, and that the hand is puny as a
child's?
Did YOU know that the Kaiser has
a mania for admiring beautlful
hands? And that he wears many
bracelets and feminine rings? That
he has 800 full dress uniforms, that
he was twice king, twice a grand
duke, 18 times duke, twice a prince
nine times q count, besides being a
bishop?
All these things and many more in
the private life of the Jackal Of Eur
one, who has plunged the whole world
into war and sorrow, are shown ir

The best information we can get on
the subject shows that the city ordi-
nances fix q penalty for those who
violate the weed-cutting order. Cen
eral observation shows that a large
number Of people in Baxter Springs
are guilty. There are Smany insight

neglect and everybody knows how un-
sanitary weedy streets and yards are
this time of the year when the big
weeds offer q rendezvous for every IN
sect common to this cline. Owners
of vacant lots would do well to at
tend to them. Nonresident owners
should be notified by their agents to
have their weeds cut; II not repre-
sented by agents in Baxter Springs,
adjoining property owners would do a
service to the town by notifying the
proper authorities and furnishing
them the necessary information. 1t is
said the Frisco and M. 0. q q. X. H.
companies have been cutting weeds
along their right of ways and yards
recently in compliance with the law
which is commendable and a good ex-
