Moores that the administration is now

PLAN AID. CAMPAIGN
To Tell Public Truth About the Candy
Situation "

The candy makers of Washington
are planning to tell the general pub
lie the facts about the candy industry
and about candy as a food product.
Due to much misunderstanding and
to lack of definite knowledge of
the facts the candy industry has been
brought to the verge of collapse.
Ask the average man or woman how
much sugar goes into the making of
candy and you will find that it is the
general opinion that all the way from
25 to so per cent goes into candy MAX
ing.
This has led many people to believe
that if the candy factories were still
further restricted or possibly entirely
put out of business the sugar short
age problem would be solved.
But this is not correct.
Far from using 25 to so per cent the
candy industry uses something less
than 8 per cent of the sugar used in
this country.
Even if the entire amount were cut
off from candy making the sugar sit
uation would not be greatly relieved.
The candy makers contend that all
should share alike in the saving of
sugar. They have already given un-
til it hurts. There is no more patrio-
tic body of men than the men in the
candy business and they have gladly
given up their supplies but they now
feel that the interests of the country
call for a definite knowledge of the
facts. People must realize that the
candy industry alone cannot save
enough sugar to solve the problem.
Many people without knowing the
facts, have felt that candy could be
curtailed and the problem solved. But
facts show that the place to save SUI
gar where it really counts, is in the \
home, from now on. Figures show
that out of the 81 pounds normally
used by each person in the United !:
states in one year, less than 2 pounds
are used in candy, while 60 pounds are
used in the home on the table. The
saving of 10 per cent in the home is
nearly equal to the saving of 100 per
cent in the candy industry. Candy j
makers believe that fair-minded pub 4
tic, with these facts in mind, will be
willing to help share the strain to
he end that the big industry can sur
i've and go thru without further cur 4
ailment as the curtailment is now
coming to the point where the future +,
# the industry is looked to with fear.
1t is believed by the candy makers
hat as the general public comes to
earn of the high food value of candy
md also realizes the lengths to which !,
ne industry has already gone that re-
ief will not be withheld. 4
The series of advertisements is the
method of expression selected by the Z
andy makers as means to enable e
hem to get the full facts before the e.
ublic. The first advertisement of the q
cries appears in this weeks issue :,
+ the Courier-Reporter. A new one q
nil appear next week. Read them. nj

PEACE VIEWS
RETARD STOCKS
Wall Street Believes Daily
Victories Forecast Early
- Peace.

New York. Oct. 2-Stocks were ir-
regular today as one class after an
other was subjected to the acid test
of peace news. Wall Street believes
the remarkable victories being record
ed daily mean peace in a few months
and is not waiting for the last act. So
far as today's market meant anything,
II proved that the Oils, Motors and
stock list. There was much difference
of opinion regarding U. s. Steel. but
the trading was decidedly against
such stocks as Bethlehem and COM
panies that have large capital in
plants useful for war work only. Rus
sian bonds were up. as was also Ger
man and Austrian exchange in Swift
erIand, while neutral exchange was
weak. Cotton was irregular and corn
was weak. Panic was reported In Ger
man munition shares in Berlin.
The market as whole was
strong at the opening, turned weak
about midday and grew strong to-
ward the close in most issues al
though there was profit taking in
the stocks that were strongest
Money was still hard to get al
though more is coming from the
West in the shape OF loans made
there on stocks bought here for
Western customers OF stock eX-
change houses. 1t was the belief
of the oldest market observers that
there would have been a wild dem
and very much higher
prices il money had been plentiful.
Some talk was heard Of a profess
sional caught short of oil shares.
but no evidence was seen in any
issue. The Oils acted very conserv-
atively under the circumstances and
their strength did not indicate any
of shorts.
II would be folly to declare in the
excitement OF any such war news
that the market would do any par
tiCular thing on any one day, but.
Judging from the character OF the
buyers and sellers. the best opinion
is that there will be a victory boom
before anything else Of Importance
happens The final sitting out OF
good shares is going TO take some
weeks. There is great confidence in
high official circles as TO the great
investment stocks, such, for instance,
as United States Steel. Union Pa
cific, American Telephone and stocks
of large capitalization and business
records running back many years. In
addition to these old and tried shares
the Oils. Motors and TobaCcos, Pub
lie Utilities. Chemicals, Harvester
and Copper shares are looked on with
especial favor.

JUAREZ LIGHTWEIGHT
NOW WITH CARNIVAL

Over in Juarez, just across the
Mexican border from Ell Paso. there's S
bull ring with which is connected
the lnternational Sporting Club, of
which Billy Silver. once the manager
OF Battling Nelson, is the matchmaker
and secretary. Almost every Sunday
glove nights are held and prior to the
war hundreds of American fight fans
would cross the international bridge
10 witness the bouts, many of which
were or more than ordinarily exciting
nature.
The main bouts were usually TWEEN
ty-hve-round goes of the lightweight
class and many we'll known light
weights have fought and bled beneath
the glare of the Mexican sun. A
year or so ago when Joe Golindo and
Jack White held sway against all
corners along the border from Browns
vile to Tia Juana, a young Jersey
City hghter appeared upon the scene
and Tor few months carried off all
of the lightweight honors in the great
Southwest and in the fight rings of
Tia Juana, Mexicala and San Ber-
nardino.
The young pugilist was AL German
OF Jersey City, now known as Nervo,
and one of the most daring of all or
the Dare Devils with the First World s
Congress OF Dare Devils now attract
ing sport fans and lovers of the sem
sational to the American League park.
Nervo dives from a giddy pedestal and
lands upon his chest on small in
cline some fifty feet below and shoot
ing downwards and outwards into
space again. he lands, a second or so
later. upon his feet on terra firma.
d. The Dare Devils will give a matinee
on Saturday and\ Sunday and it is
announced that they will remain at
the ball park for another week
