AL BECAUSE JUDGE SMOKED
County ofANeAA York 10 Threatened
With Action Which May Cost
/ the; People Money.

. 49, 49, Z u, :
Three lawyers have declined to bring
suit for a prominent New York bust
ness man upon the ground that It
would be "unethical," yet each admits
that the injury in the case cannot be
disputed and that there ought to be
some way in which the business man
could secure just relief. Should a
lawyer be found willing to bring the
suit. some extraordinary precedent
rulings may be expected. 80 >
Recently, says the New York CORE
spondent of the Cincinnati Times
Star, the business man bought a IRE
built" mOtOrcar. He found, first, that
1t wouldn't run; second, that it diff
fered, mechanically, from a specific
promise in the bill Of sale, and, third,
that the car delivered to him was not
the one shown him by the salesman.
He sued to recover the money he had
paid and the jury in the case, after
being out one minute, returned a
Judgment in full for the amount
claimed; The firm which had sold the
car appealed for a new trial solely
upon the ground that the judge had
left the bench for few minutes while
the lawyers were summing up. After
the usual delay, the court of appeals
passed on the appeal and granted q
new trial. Meanwhile, the witnesses
necessary for the proof Of the plain
tift's case had disappeared, the most
important having gone into the army.
q, For years it had been the custom of
New York judges to 60 out into their
private Office to smoke during the
summing up of unimportant civil cases.
No one had thought. of making that a
ground for an appeal until about two
months before the trial of the auto
mobile case, at which time an appeal
had been based on that ground and
had been granted. The Judge in the
automobile case hadn't read about
this other case in the newspapers and
no one had happened to mention it to
him. Therefore, he went out to smoke
as usual.
The business man now proposes to
\sue the county Of New York for DAM
ages sustained through the incompe-
tence and carelessness of one of it's
serVants-the Judge.

SUGAR SHORTAGE HITS
SPAIN AND PORTUGAL

In Spain and Portugal sugar prices
are soaring Both countries have been
seriously affected by the short beet
sugar crop in Europe and the lack Of
ocean tonnage to move stocks of cane
sugar isolated in far away ports.
Granulated sugar, home grown, was
being sold in Barcelona, Spain, during
the early summer at 10 cents a pound.
The price of brown sugar in Lisbon,
Portugal, fixed by governmental order,
was $1.W to SLIP pound.
BY comparison the price Of beet
sugar In Sweden is IA cents pound,
Little Falls herald. [volume] (Little Falls, Morrison County, Minn.) 1889-1950, 1918-08-16

The sugar supplies throughout the
country, In homes, stores, factories and
bakeries, are at low ebb; the produce
ton from the American beet and
Louisiana cane crops have been disap-
pointing; the yield In Porto Rico has
likewise been smaller than anticipate.
ed, and the inability Of the United
States and the Allies to secure sugar
from Java and other distant sources
on account OF the imperative call fer
ships for the movement OF troops and
their supplies has materially reduced
the supply from such quarters. Added
to this already difficult situation, the
quantity needed by the Army and
Navy greatly exceeds earlier esti-
mates; we must send large amount
to- France and Italy % take the place
Of the great volume lost through the
German and Austrian jnvasions, dur
Ind which much beet land was over
run and many factories destroyed; We
have to supply certain quantities to
neutral nations under agreements and
finally over fifty million pounds were
lost recently through submarine sink
ings off our Atlantic coast.
The Food Administration is conf
dent that the American people, with
the record of wheat savings behind it,
having by voluntary savings sent 14O,-
100000 bushels of wheat to the Allies
after practically every bushel had been
exhausted from our normal surplus,
will with the same spirit save the
sugar situation of the world.

"Ground in HAMBURG"

One Of the curious news outcrop-

hollow-ground razor blade was ex-

was the mark "Ground in Hamburg"
The explanation was that the Brit

little girl who was sitting in the room

"Oh, look at that candlei It's melting

This little girl, whose name was
Minnie, was speaking to her sister,
whose name was Jessie.

today that we didn't want to play. We
just wanted to sit in this nice cool
room and read"

just read during the SUMMER"
"Don't you like to play?" asked Jes-
sic, in a very surprised tone. ooh, I
suppose you are so hot you can't even
think of playing. For a moment I
didn't know what had happened to

Jessie.

II We'll, tell me what you do mean

II WILL" agreed Minnie. II mean
that I would like to do nothing but
read in the summer when it was time
for reading-that is when we weren't
playing or going to a party, or any,
thing like that.
"You see have so many chapters Of
history to make up so I can take an
other examination and try to 60 on
with my class this year.
I'D feel dreadfully if I had to 60
with the children in a whole class be-
meath me. I'd feel so ashamed. And
that's what mean. 1t would be so
nice if had passed my examination in
the summer when I should have-in
June-and then I wouldn't have had
to think Of studying in the hot months.
"Now when / sit down to read I al
ways think of those chapters and chap
ters of history which I should learn.
It's very hard to study in the summer"
eyes, it is hard" said Jessie, land
it's too bad you have to study, but still
you wouldn't want to go into the same
class as you were in last year, with all
those children who have been class
below you as your school companions.
That's the trouble"
'"That u.s." said Minnie. "Oh, dear
I'll see that I pass my examinations in
June next year, and don't need to
study in the summer"
ut wasn't altogether your fault -
said Jessie. ut takes you longer to
learn anything than it does me-"
II know it," said Minnie. II should
study harder when the time is here
to study, but still don't hold candle
to you in my lessons even when I study
just as hard"

SUGAR EXPORTS SMALL
TO NEUTRAL NATIONS

Only 797 tons Of refined sugar were
shipped from America to neutral ma"

countries. Mexico received more than
half the amount we exported to aneu'
