SUGAR SCARCITY
IS RAIL PROBLEM.
Rock Island Grocers Are Told That
There Is No Marked General
Shortage In Country.
GRIsw0LD TALKS TO DEALERS


The sugar shortage in Rock Island
has resolved itself into matter OF
railroad transportation.
This was the fact brought out
in an address made to the Rock Island
Grocers' association by NJ. O. Girls
void, Rock Island district food admin
istrator, last night at the Rock Island
club.
Mr.. Griswold declared that the
scarcity Of the product in the stores
here 10 not the result OF q marked
general shortage, but rather due to
the inability of the railroads to pro-
vide sufficient cars for distributing the
sugar to the wholesale houses and
from there to the retailers. Mr.. Girls
void impressed the grocers with the
Importance OF their observing the reg
ulations of the food administration and
declared that patrons who endeavor to
hoard sugar are to be dealt with se-
verely. He said that many grocers
are keeping a check on all sales OF
sugar and persons who go from one
store to another and buy small guam
titles Of the product will be subjected
to investigation by government agents
The person who in times as critical
as the present endeavors to hoard
products which are scarce was paint.

TOO MANY GUNS LIE AROUND LOOSE IN
ROCK lSLAND-TH.4TS WHY CITY WENT
BACK 70 FRONTIER SCENES LAST NIGHT

Too many guns lie around loose In
Rock Island.
That was attributed today as being
the reason that Rock Island last night
was returned to its frontier days with
two. Of the widest shooting affairs the
city has passed through in many a
day.
Officials declared that It is pretty
hard to stop shooting; that as long as
guns are made they will be carried or
kept around in places where they are
easily obtained. Authorities said that
the only course to pursue in an en-
deavor to curb gun-toting in Rock Is
land is to make the fine so heavy that
a person armed with shooting irons
will be unable to pay the fine and will
have to put in time at the county Jail
THE old idea that guns are carried
or kept for protection is all
bosh,' local police officer said today
How many times in the last few
years has gun driven off a burglar

WORSE TO Use WHALE FAT

Christiania-A committee of experts
appointed by the state to endeavor to
find a method of obtaining edible fats
and oils from whale blubber and fish
reports that it's experiments have heen

of other fats can also. it is believed,
be used for making margarine. NOR

Home Papers and Market
Reports

Never before in American his.
tory has the question of homa
and native land been SO much i'm
pressed upon the thoughts and
necessities of the American PEG
pie. Paramount with this ques-
ton and the maintenance of our
home institutions lies the ques.
ton of what we receive for our
daily toll and our farm products.
Your home paper, The Mans
field Mirror, stands for initial
principles of home with all of its
implied meaning and should
come first in your assistance and
patronage. The question of what
you receive for your cattle, hogs
sheep, wheat and general farm

on your own acumen One Of the
necessary things is to keep
thoroughly posted on the mar
kets. Your home paper and the

ALTERING SHIPS.
Two Harlan Vessels Being Made
Ready for Service in English
Channel.

The Narragansctt and Manhattan,
passenger steamships, built at the lIar-
Ian plant few years ago, and which
Wilmingtonians will remember because
they lay anchored in the Delaware river
for a couple of seasons before taken TO
Long Island Sound, are back at the Har-
Ian yards again This time they are
meant for more serious work.
1t is said that after alterations are
made to the steamships that will enable
them to make the passage Of the English
Channel safely, that they will be taken
abroad and used for transport ships be-
tween England and France, or any
other purpose that the Allies may deem
them best fitted for.
Workmen at the Harlan plant are now
engaged in making the necessary changes
and il is believed that rs soon as these
are completed the boats will be sent
across In order to make the boats safer,
one of the decks, it is said will be re-
moved and changes made on the over
hanging structure on the side eliminated,
so that when heavy seas or huge waves hit
the vessels they will not topple over.

MISS REBA SAVERS
TO Go TO FRANCE
Wilmington Salvation Army Girl
Signs for Country's Service
Abroad.

Pertinent to the campaign by the local
Salvation Army for $4,000 for funds with
which TO carry on war work in France
and this country, comes the announce
ment today that a Wilmington young
woman has successfully passed her ex-
aminations at Salvation Army hcadquar-
tcrs in New York City and viii shortly
leave for post somewhere in France.
The worker is Miss Reba Savers, 20
Years old, and whose parents reside at
427 South Broome street. Miss Savers
has been active IN Salvation Army work
for some time and was teacher in the
Sunday school Of the local Salvation
Army. When she determined TO try
and do her duty in France, she went to
the salvation Army Training College in
New York CitF TODAY it was learned
that she had passed the government ex-
aminations which all who go over must
pass
Miss Savers Is especially well fitted
for the work, being a good musician
and very willing worker The fact that
Wilmington is sending one OF her Young
women for hutment work In France
should lend impetus TO the campaign
for funds here now in progress This cam
paign which is national IN scope has not
resulted in as MANY subscriptions TO date
in this city as had been hoped for and
former Judge David T. Marvel, chair
man Of the local campaign committee
is anxious that all who can will make
their contributions at once as the cam
paign ends on FRIDAY All contributions
should be made to Rich ard Reese at the
Equitable Trust Co.
