this story has been passed along
until every salesman on the road
and every householder in the
country really believed that a
shortage existed.
In our Investigations locally
we have found grocers endeavor-
ing to sell sugar for as low as
13c per pound when the cost to
them amounted to 12.4c and
12.6c while others have paid
more, depending on their chan
nels Of purchase, and have
charged as high as 18c, but in
no case have we found excess
charges when the purchase
price was taken into consider
alton.
But we did not find one grocer
that did not claim that it was
impossible to purchase sugar in
any quantity desired. We have
talked to statesmen for the whole
sale houses who likewise COM
planned of the situation, claiming
that they were unable to supply
their trade. We have noted that
sugar was being sold for as high
as 22c and 23c per pound in
other places.
We have watched the mail
order business grow by leaps
and bounds during the past few
months because of the desire of
people to get sugar at any price.
when quantity of sugar was
offered with a SIS or SO order of
groceries, and we have wondered
and pondered over the question
for a solution.
That something is radically
wrong is apparent. Sugar to
be retailed at anywhere from
15c to 18c per pound may be
difficult to get, but The Times
feels safe in saying that it
could place a hundred pound
sack of sugar in every home in
Washburn within twenty days

Local Capital May Begin Manufac-
ture Of Sweeping Compound
Suggestion Made at Last Meeting of
Commercial Club May
Bear Fruit. Z


A suggestion made during the
course of a debate at the Com
mercial Club meeting held last
Friday evening may be the
means of the starting of a new
industry at Washburn. Since
that time local capital has inter-
ested itself to the extent that
formulas are now being gotten
together and prices are now be-
ing obtained on machinery for
the manufacture of sweeping
compound and if it can be proven
that it will be profitable to en-
gage in the business a local con-
cern will be formed for that
purpose.
The raw materials. or the
greater part of them, for the
manufacture of the compound
can be obtained locally and a
plant of this kind would give
employment to a number of men
and might grow to large pro-
portions. Here is wishing sue
cess to the men who have the
faith to put their money into
this proposition. Who will be

and possibly sooner if the
money was available for making
the purchase and price was not
taken into consideration.
| We have before us a number
of kilograms from the largest
concerns in the country, offering
sugar for immediate shipment
III car load lots, but the price in
every instance is more than the
local grocers are charging for it
when dealing it out in pound
lots. These prices which we
have obtained are on southern
sugar, upon which the govern
ment set a price, but there ap-
pears to be plenty of it, if you
have the money to pay for it..
! There seems to be no question
about delivery for one concern
doing a business of millions of
dollars quotes delivery the same
day order is received.
Sugar has been so regulated
that wholesalers do not care to
handle it because of the small
margin of profit allowed. You
cannot blame them for this.
Sugar has become an unknown
qnantity to dabble in and for
this reason dealers are apparent
ly fighting sshy" Of getting any
large quantities on hand, for
they do not know when the
price may be raised or dropped.
1t takes from $4,000 to 5 O.00O
capital to handle a car of sugar,
depending on the size of the car
which is more than the average
grocer or wholesaler cares to
take a chance on, but when they
tell you sugar is not to be had at
any price it is pure bunk.
Show us the color of the coin
to finance car of sugar and we
will have it on the road from the
south the day after the receipt
of the money, but don't tell us
sugar is not to be had. If you

seems to be a question of price
and not shortage or delivery.
1t is our opinion, however,
sugar is not going down in price

completely sold out and sugar is
in the hands of jobbers. Gov
ernment regulation may keep
the price down but it will be
difficult to get through the reg

Company Organized Last Week May
Grow to be Big One
Will Begin Manufacturing Excelsior and
May 60 Into the Bedding
Business.

! The announcement in the
Times last Thursday to the effect
that the Washburn Manufacture
ing company had been organized
and would erect a plant to
manufacture excelsior and other
products may mean more to
Washburn and Washburn peo-
pie than was at first supposed.
for from a small beginning this
plant may grow to large pro-
portions.
It is the intention of the new
company to erect an excelsior
plant on the site Of the Moore
Lumber company. using a small
portion of the east part of the
site for this purpose. The new
building will likely be of frame
construction with concrete floors
etc. and will contain all the ma
chimes necessary for manufac-
turing excelsior. Work on the
plant will be started as soon as
possible and it is expected to
have it completed and ready for
manufacturing by the early part
of June.
In the meantime the company
officials are devoting their time
to the purchase of the raw ma
.erials from which the product
will be manufactured, and this
will largely be furnished by the
farmers. ne stock consisting
mostly ofpoplar and birch which
is now found growing on the
cut-over lands around Washburn.
In addition to employing a
crew of from twelve to twenty
men in the manufacture Of the
product the new concern will
also furnish a market to the
farmer for the small timber from
their lands and this will add ma
terially in helping to-, clear the
lands adjacent to Washburn.
While the plant Willie started
for the manufacture Of excelsior
it may eventu ally be enlarged
to include the manufacture of
mattresses and other articles and
grow to large proportions,
THERE'S a great demand at
the present time for the products
of a concern of this kind and
with the live wire management
which it will have behind it we
can hope to see the plant grow
in size very materially.
Gray Thompson of the Moore
Thompson company, who has
had a large amount of experience
in wood products, will be
manager of the new industry
while George K. Moore will be
Secretary and Treasurer. Mr..
Moore was formerly manager
Of the Stearns mill in this city,
while C. L. Stevens of fMinne-
apolis will have charge eff the
sales end of the Industry 8
We wish success Ito thesa.new

will be next? ~

Income VS.. Taste
By Strickland Gillian

oy OLIiChloI0 OstilIdH
Taste is Income $ strongest rival
Which, think you, deserves survival:
When your Income jumps from ten
Up to fifteen dollars, then
What does Taste proceed to,
But jump four points to Income s two.
Income struggles to her feet,
Striving Tastes demands to meet
Does it, too; then finds, instead,
Taste is still two laps ahead
Ever and anon she liSeS,
M Meeting aye the same surprises;
Finding taste can travel faster,
Threatening condign disaster.
All the time Income increases;
Tastes expansion never ceases.
AS the victim grows maturer,
Pay grows greater, he grows poorer;
This is wrong and can be cured
Should by no one be endured.
Income cannot bring success -,
Till demands of Taste are less.
Always let the balance be
On the side of sanity.
Whatsoe' er your pay today,
Put part of it away.
This advice the wise will heed
Let not Taste, but Income, lead.

 Gen. Pershing's announcement con- firms reports current here that the expeditionary forces were to be re- duced to a total strength of 300,000 by the end of the fiscal year.
 The announcement from France indicates that in addition to the seven regular divisions now in France and into which presumably men desiring to remain temporar- fly are being transferred, the Amer ican forces after July will include the Seventy-eighth and Eighty-first National Army and one other divi- sion. This would give a, nine-divi- sion strength for the combatant forces, and allow one division for em- ployment as a depot unit.
 Gen. Pershing's message shows that he has laid out schedule which will bring practically all of the troops, except those in the seven Regular Army units, home by not later than the middle of August. This would leave in France, provided the divisions and their auxiliary sup porting units were maintained at full war strength, approximately 300,000 men after all the National Guard and the National Army divisions had been withdrawn.
 The schedule of embarkation for warded by Gen. Pershing stated that the programme for July would be an- nounced later and that previously an nounced assignments of divisional units either to early convoy or to prepare for embarkation had not been disturbed.
 With the exception of some four divisions not included in this or pre- viously mentioned as destined for early return, divisions other than those mentioned have been skeleton ized and are coming home in widely scattered units with the majority of their enlisted personnel absorbed by other divisions, or have already set sail, as is the case with the Forty first, Ninety-second and possibly Wltn SOIIle nOTIlOIlS Ol IHe lWcHty- seventh. It was assumed here that the divisions not included in previous orders would be assigned to trans portation in July.
 The largest homeward movement of troops since the breaking up of the American overseas army start ed last November, was announced by the War Department in reporting the departure from French ports of eighteen troopships with nearly 3O,- 900 officers and men aboard. The announcement of the movement was made coincidentally with the issuan- ce of statement that all divisions in France except those of the Regular Army would be returned as soon as shipping becomes available.
 Among the transports listed Ss having sailed were the Aquitahia and Great Northern, each with more than 5000 soldiers aboard. The or ganizations which have sailed in.
