WHERE THEY FOUND THE HAT

Attorney General Palmer instructed
the New York branch Of the depart.
ment of justice recently to gather all
the German propaganda evidence it
had accumulated to prosecute enemy
aliens during the war and forward it
to Washington, where it could be
stored in the state department vaults.
The books, papers and documents were
placed in q wooden case five feet high,
four feet wide and two feet deep,
which was put in a special baggage
car accompanied by two speciai agents
of the department.
One Of the agents became tired OF
sitting watching the case and said he
would take a nap on it. He turned
the case over on it's side and laid down
on it, using his handbag as q pillow,
while the other laid on the floor OF
the car alongside the big box. In the
morning Special Agent Joe, who slept
on the box, awoke and found Agent
Bill searching all through the car fe1
something. He asked what he had
lost and Bill said that he certainly had
q hat when he entered the car but ii
was missing. They could not find the
hat and finally turned the case right

TOOK FOXES IN NEAT TRAP
Probably Only Instance on Record
Where Youngsters Were Caught
In a Horse Blanket.

How four foxes were caught In
horse blanket is quaint tale told by
r. A. Hutmacher in the Hunter-Trader-
Trapper Of Columbus. O.
"I happened to be driving south of
Rapatee, Ill.,, with the implement deal
er Of that town, making business calls
on several farmers of that section,
when, to my surprise, l saw on very
steep hill in the distance several young
foxes playing about as if no human
was near" says Mr.. Hutmacher. My
partner anu l decided to try our luck
at catching them, so driving on little
farther, we tied our horses and set
out across the field after them.
"When we reached the hole, they
were all up over the hill chasing each
other, so telling my companion to 60
around the hill and case them my
way I threw a horse blanket over their
hole and waited. AS they came rush
ing for the hole / raised one end of
the blanket just enough to hide myself
and at the same time form trap Of it
for them to run into.
"They all got to the hole about the
same time, when I threw one end of
the blanket over them, the other end
being over the hole. In the excite
ment I succeeded in catching all four
In the folds of the blanket.

drove to town, my companion taking
two of the foxes and I two. Possibly
the explanation of our good luck is the
fact that the foxes were not much
more than six weeks old when cap
tured."

PLENTY OF SUGAR
If YOU WILL PAY
THE PRICE
Apparently no Shortage if Price is no
Objection. Southern Refners
Seem to Have Plenty.

For the past few months the
sugar shortage question has been
a nightmare" with the Ameri.
can people and there is hardly a
home in the country that has not
been compelled to cut down in
the quantity used while many
homes have had to go days and
weeks without a supply, all be-
cause of the apparent shortage
land the inability of the grocers
to obtain supply from the
wholesaler.
The Times has noted this con.
dition from time to time but
it has always been our belief
that there was not the shortage
that some wholesalers would
have the grocers believe there is
and with view to learning the
actual conditions we have been
doing little investigating for
ourselves.
We do not blame the grocers
for their apparent inability to
get sugar because the average
small grocer is unable to finance
a sugar deal of very large por-
portions, but we do blame whole
salers when they say they are
unable to purchase sugar for we
have learned that there is sugar
in the country to be had for i'm
mediate delivery if the whole
saler is willing to pay the price.
No shortage seems to exist.
There is hardly householder
in the country that has not been
confronted with the story
of the great sugar shortage.
This the average grocer believed
existed. He has told the pur-
chaser of his inability to get
sugar from his regular buying
channels, and many have even
|endeavored to purchase else
where without any great suc-
cess.
The grocer has complained OF
this situation to the wholesale
house who also handed out the
story of the sugar shortage and

The Right Spirit

Washburn has q few ''gOod
fellows" this year who are go
ing to enjoy Christmas because
of the fact that they are en-
deavoring to do something for
the other fellow who has been
less fortunate. Several homes
are being supplied with things
to wear and things to eat, with
cut the giver being known to the
parsies or the parties being
known to the giver. This is the
real Christmas spirit and the
act of these good fellows is com-
mendable.
