limiting the operation of all factories

order" Mr.. Fitzgerald said. "Practi-
eally all its provisions are in effect

three-day week for factories. The is
suance of that order would make it
quite apparent that we are in for
long siege. Present restrictions will
probably continue well into the month
Of January, even though production
at the mines is resumed at once ANY
prolonged delay in the resumption of
operation will doubtless result in still
more severe restrictions than those

to acquire raw sugar, It does not contain q license provision, such as is to he found in the Lever act, and which was thought by some to be ob- iecttonable."
 The Senate after long debate passed the bill and drew from Mir. ZabrislIie the following comment. The United States Sugar EquiIiza- tion Board is unanimously of the opinion that without the powers of licensing, embargo and distribution control it's continuation will not serve any useful purpose, and these powers i the McNary bill fails to provide" The House later passed the sugar bill, with an amendment, containing 8 licensing provision and sent it back to the Senate. There was a com promise reached on g. measure extend ing federal control of sugar through out 1920, but limiting the license power of the Board to 9 period ending
 June 8, next.
 ! As an example of the way in which i the Board kept down sugar prices it
 may be remembered that while sugar
 was selling around nine cents during l the war wholesale prices in the United
 Kingdom were $12.5S per hundred
 pounds; France. S12.28 and Italy 1 S26.30 During the Civil War, when
 no such Board existed, prices in the i United States f1uctuated widely; at
 times soaring above fifty cents a pound.

.BUKSAR, NOW
 ARMY BUGLER,
 IS WE'LL PLEASED

The following communication from Bugler William Buksar whose parents reside at 23 Cherry street. Bridgeport, Conn.,, received by Sergt. T. s. O'Brien, c. s. l., of the local Army Recruiting Station, is as follows:
 Fort SIocurn, N. Y,
 Military Branch,
 December 25, 1919. Dear Sergt. O'Brien: I am sending my best wishes to you and the rest of the R. S. men there. l am also let ting you know that I am still at Ft. Slocum, for I have signed up as a 1st Class Bugler, and have more time to study Government civil service. I am in the army one whole month to- day, and will say that the army is a great thing for a young man to learn to amount to something. The army is much better than | thought it was. will now close. Answer me if you receive this card.
 From Bugler William Buksar,
 4th Rect. Co. No. II,
 Fit. Slocum, New York.
 A Happily New Year to You All. This man was accepted at the local Army recruiting station in this city on November 24, 1918, and forwarded to Fort Slocum. N. Y. In view of the fact that this man was in, some way, under the impression that he would be treated unfairly, and some what roughly if he joined the Army, it is thought that publication of his communication would tend to elini- nate the impression that many young men, who are joining the army for the first time have as to the actual treatmen they will receive after they enlist in our army.

PRESIDENT NOT

Charge That He Makes Profit on Sales Called
 Ridiculous.

Washington. D. C., Dec. z9-OfCial washineton is amused over a repeat edlN reiterated rumor, said to have originated in New England that the President Is seeking to block action to flower and stabilize the prices of ausar becaosA he Is 6 stocE1holder in d large sugar corporation and is reap Ina large pTOfts,
 As q. matter of fact. the President Jas trustee for the American people lis sole stocE holder in the largest arid most successful sugar corpora tfan the world has ever known-the United States Sugar Equalization Bbart9, incorporated under the laws of Delaware, This board. during the wtar. not only insured equitable dis ttibution of sugar among the people nf the United States and allied ua- lions but kept American prices around nine cents 8 pound and turned into the Federal Treasury SS8,0Oo, 900 pro 1t to be used in Governmental activi- lies. Inasnauch as the rumor con- meets the President with any private tEusar corporation, 1t is baseless.
 Equally absurd Is that part of the 7-I77lor which planes any delay in : dealing with the sugar question upon . the President. William A. Glasgow attorney for the Sugar Equalization Board, appeared before the Senate Committee on Agriculture and Pores try early in October and urged that powers of the Board be extended in order that t might purchase. control and distribute the Cuban sugar crop of 1920. MT Glasgow explained that it world be 'culpabIe'' for the Board to purchase the crop under its exist ing power unless 1t had received as srlrance from Congress of its desire for the Board to maintain control over distribution
 ber IT, after the Senate had been having It's ''say's for InCre than ten weeks without accom- plishing any re- lief in the sugar situation, accused the President Of '"6ddling'' and fail ing to order purchase of the Cuban sugar crop although, according to Senator Gronna, he had ample pow CTS to do so and 1t was not especially necessary for him to wait oIl Con srcss-
 No one, at any time, questioned the authority of the Board to purchase the crop Chairman Zabriskie of the Board showed, however, that if the sugar was purchased and a supply provided for the country, the war might end at any time and power Of controlling prices would end as the Lever Food Control act expired with the end of the war He, with all the members Of the Board, asked that licensing provision o9 the Lever act be extended by Congress in order that when the Cuban sugar crop was pur- chased he might prevent profiteering 3n 1920 after the war 1rss declared tc be ended
 Despite this, Senator 1IcNary (Re- pubEcan,) in offering the sugar biI 10 the Senate left out the licensing clause saying:

HORSE AND DRIVER IN CANAL
Fred Hobbs With Hanfeld Team Goes
Over Embankment

An accident occurred Monday after
noon at the plant of the Hortonia
Power company about a mile north Of
this village, when a delivery team be-
longing to Lewis Hanheld and driven
by Fred Hobbs backed over the en-
bankment to the companys canal.
Hobbs went to the plant to deliver
some goods and in turning around
backed the rear wheels of the wagon
over the embankment The weight of
the wagon pulled the horse and driver
into the canal The workmeu at the
plant went to the rescue and soon got
the young man ashore They then got
a rope over the horses head and swan
him, wagon and ALL to a low place in
the canal embankment about $50 feet
away from the scene of the accident
and by hard work managed to get the
horse and vehicle out of the canal.
The wagon was not damaged, but the
horse was slightly cut about the legs,
and the groceries in the wagon were a
total loss The driver was uninjured.

WHANG! WHANG!

When you hear the voice of the knocker
And hear his hammer fall,
Remember this fact,
That the knocking act
Requires no brains at all.
When you list to the voice of the
growler
And bark to his ceaseless growl,
You will please recall
That a dog is all
1t takes for a thoughtless growla
As you watch for the thrust of the
kicker
And you notice his strenuous kick,
Just observe this rule,
That a low-brow mule
Is a bear at this very trick.
The knocker, growler, kicker and all
Fault finders large and small
What do they need
For their daily deed2
No brains no sense, just gall
