Brown Sugar Now Sells
at 20 Cents a Pound

Consumers who read Saturday
that brown sugar, formerly used for
baking purposes, to-day sent in
grocers' receipts showing that the
price in Harrisburg had jumped to
twenty cents a pound. Wholesale
dealers would not make public the
wholesale prices, saying that "it
would not be fair to the retail
grocers."
No more granulated sugar arrived
since last weeks shipment and the
demand for sweets has been grow
ing daily. Dispatches from Philadel-
phia to-day say that John A. Nc
! -Carthy, State Sugar Administrator,
is planning to prosecute sugar
profteers. Mr. Mccarthy also has
disproved the idea of selling sugar
only with groceries. although this
plan has been approved by many
as a means to prevent boarding.

I'VE don't know what the week
will bring forth" said Ellis Searles,
editor of the Mine Workers Journal,
the official publication of the organ7
ization. I'VE do know this, that the
miners are ready and willing - and
have been to negotiate new
wage agreement between now and
November l. And we do know that
the operators have refused. They
have rejected proposal after pro-
posal.
Urge L. 5. Pressure
Now if the Government would
use the same amount of pressure on
the operators that it is using on the
United Mine Workers of America,
there would be no trouble in bring
ing about a settlement. All pres
sure, so far, has been on the miners
and none on the operators. The
Government could bring the opera
tors into conference easily, if it
wanted TO.
The organized miners do not
want to strike - it is the last resort.
1t is, and always has been the policy
of the mine workers to use adj hon.
orable means to avoid strike. We
hope the operators yet may be in
duced to meet the miners and reach
an agreement, which will make the
strike, called for November 1, un-
necessary.
100000 Will Strike
1--WE want the public to know that
the..sminers have done everything
in their power to bring about con-
ference so that a new wage agree
ment could be negotiated and the
strike avoided. Up to this time our
efforts have been unsuccessful; the
operators seem determined to force
a strike on the public in order to
maintain the high price of coal at
the mines"
Should the strike go into effect
Saturday next, Mr.. Searles said, every
organized bituminous coal miner in
the United States would cease the
production of coal and large num-
ber of nonorganiZed miners would
ioin the strike. He estimated that
between 100000 and 100000 men
would walk out, and added that the
Government estimated that the shut
down would cut off eighty per cent.
of the bituminous coal produced in
the United States.
Central Pennsylvania Fields
The strike according to Mr.. Searles
would affect the partly organized
fields of Central Pennsylvania: parts
of West Virginia, excluding the Po-
cahontas field, which is not organ
lied; portions of eastern Kentucky
and Tennessee, Alabama and Col
orado, and all of the 100 per cent.
organized fields which include Ohio,
Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Western
Kentucky,s Missouri, Kansas, Okla
homa, Montana and Washington.

Fruit All Right So Far.

The fruit crop had a mighty close call
from serious damage the past week.
Thursday afternoon the mild weather
that had prevailed for several days
suddenly changed, and an unseason-
ably cold wind began to blow out OF
the north. This kept UP until Satur-
dav. when the wind Gained down and
the temperature moderated, Friday
morning and Saturday morning ice
formed TO the thickness of more than
an eighth of an inch, and the Their
mometer got down TO %. II is be-
lieved, however, that no serious dam
age was done to the fruit. The wind
was constant and thus kept frost from
forming, and there was no moisture to
freeze the buds. Reports from both
Jefferson and Berkeley counties are to
the effect that little, if any, damage was
done to the apple buds, and other fruits
seem not TO have been materially al
fected. But the cold weather made the
fruit men toIerably nervous for a day
or two.

We Get Two Helmets Already.

When the American army of occupa-
ton entered the German city of Cob
lenz. after the surrender Of the Huns,
they found there $4,000 helmets which
had been stored for the use of the vic
torious German army which the Kaiser
had fondly hoped would enter Paris.
These helmets were brought TO Ameri-
ca. and il was determined TO use them
in boosting the Victory Loan. County
Chairman w. F. Alexander was in
Shepherdstown last week, and ne Of
fered one of the helmets to the senior
class of the graded school if the MEN,
bers would sell $500 of Victory
Bonds. The boys and girls got busy
right away, and by night they had gone
over the top, selling more than S.
600 of the bonds.

We've Bought Our Bonds.

Shepherdstown, as always, has done
IFS patriotic duty in support OF the

apportionment of the Fifth Liberty
Loan. A considerable amount OF the
bonds were subscribed for by lndi-
viduals. and on Wednesday the Jetfer-
son Security Bank guaranteed IFS share,
Thursday the Farmers Bank took SIM
liar action-and the work was done.
II is hoped, however, that there Will De
no relaxation in the work of selling
bonds. for the desire is that not only
shall the banks be backed Up by the
people. but we want to go over the top
bv a considerable margin. Everybody
in the community who can possibly
raise the money ought 10 buy at least
one bond. A telegram TO Chairman
MacCorkle on Thursday last that Shep-
herdstown had subscribed for IFS full
allotment brought a congratulatory
message from him, with an appeal that
all of Jefferson county should do like
