It Through.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-The house ju-

Monday to report ont a bill for enforce
ment OF wartime prohibition so as to stop

SUGAR SHORTAGE

plus for Canning.

BrattlebQro s reserve stock of granu-
lated sugar is entirely exhausted with
the exception of what few barrels are
carried in the retail grocery stores. The
Dewitt Grocery Co. and E. Crosby &
Co, wholesalers, have been out of gran
ulated sugar several DAYS and all that
certain retailers nave in stock is what
they have been able to borrow from
other dealers. The shortage is not vet
acute enough to warrant placing the
the sugar sales on a ration basis as was
done during the war but such a course
may be necessary unless additional sup
ply is received within a few DAYS.
C. R. Crosby, head of the wholesale
house of f. Crosby & Co. said today
that FIVE carloads Of sugar had been
promised his firm by the rcfineries, the
first to be shipped July 10 and he thinks
that by July - there should be plenty
! of sugar for everybody. The Dewitt
Grocery Co. has only confectioners SUI
gar in stock. A carload was promised
this firm June 16 but it has not been
shipped yet.
One of the reasons given for the
| shortage is that large quantities have
been shipped abroad. Another Is that
on account OF the foreign shipments
during the war the refneries were un-
able to accumulate a surplus for the
canning season and the beginning of the
canning season has made unusual de-
mands upon the production. In any
event the refineries are behind in their
| orders but with the exercise Of little
wartime economy it is believed that
the present emergency can be bridged
without serious Inconvenience.
In several of the towns around Brat
tleboro no sugar is to be had at the
| grocery stores.

It is not only disgusting but pitia-
BILE to read some of the editorials
in the metropolitan press concern
ing Jas. A. Reeds opposition to
the League of Nations asframed
to date, the st. Louis Republic
editorial writer assuming to ap-
proximate the editor of the Globe
Democrat, Will any one answer
why the entire metropolitan press
is doing its best to continue war
expenses and endeavouring to
utterly discredit any one, especi-
ally the greatest law makers in
the land, who ventures an opin-
ion differing in the remotest
from the views of men and wom-
en- who are getting something
out of it or expecting to?
In the Republic of Wednesday
last week appeared an editorial
in which the grossest inaccurac-
les abounded. The declaration
was made that there was no pro-
vision IN the constitution of the
league of nations which comrels
the United States to go to war.
What then does the provision
which plainly says that we, the
United States, she'll, at the d.
rection of the council selected by
the nations in the league, fur
nish our quota of soldiers to main
tain peace? Those soldiers to be
placed in France and be under
the control of a French general?
The editorial also says we nev-
er had trouble with Italy or Ger
many; that For more than 100
years we have lived next door to
the most important British poss-
ession without trouble" " The
writer for the Republic delibera-
tely ignores the near clash be-
tween the United States and
Italy over the killing of a numb
er of dagos in the south and the
heavy indemities paid for their
determination and the attitude
of Germany when this govern
ment undertook to exclude Ger
man manufactures for those of
England by placing such a heavy
tariff on all things German and
insisting that our hog and homi-
ny should be admitted to Ger
many free of any tariff tax.
The metropolitan press has de-
liberately misled the people all
thruthe war and is still at it.
Why?

Forgot What He Needed

From the Republican, Mt. Gill
lad, Ohio: The editor had an
interesting experience some time
ago, when a young gentleman
came to this office and asked for
a copy of the Morrow Cornty
Republican. He scrutinized it
carefully when a copy was hand
ed him, and then said: Now |
know" What is it you are
looking for" we inquired. MY
wife sent me after a bottle of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,
and l forgot the name. | went
to several stores and the clerks
named over everything in the
line on the shelf except 'Ch I'M
berlain's' I'll try again, and I'll
never go home without Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy" The
Republican would suggest to the
proprietors of stores, that they
post their clerks, and never let
them substitute. Customers lose
faith in stores where sub.
stituting is permitted, to say
nothing of the injustice to max
ers of good goods and the disap
pointment of customers.
