SPECTATORS HOLDING
SUGAR, GOUGE PEOPLE
TAMPA HAS PLENTY BUT NONE
TO EAT.
Distributing Committee Says Should
Be Plenty, Yet Its Not In Sight.

Palatka is still out of sugar and
there is little chance that any will
come in at any time soon. Accord
ing to a statement made by President
McLaren, of the Southern Wholesale
Grocers' Association, this state should
have a thousand tons between October
is and November Is. According to
local jobbers they have not had
pound, although it is stated that Jack
sonville jobbers have had about all
they needed.
The shortage also seems to exist
in Tampa, although two boat loads
come in there every week from Gu
ba.
That there is sugar somewhere,
large quantities of it, is firmly be-
linved by some local dealers, but they
cannot get it, and the reasonable sup
position is that these who have it are
holding it for the higher prices which
tey believe can be charged as soon
&C the sugar equalization board goes
cut of business. Local dealers could
secure plenty Of sugar in Cuba but
for the restrictions thrown around
the sales by the holder of the sugar
which would make it impossible tt
sell the sugar in this country under
the prevailing government regula-
lions. The precise nature of these
restrictions could not be divulged foF
publication.
Last Friday the Tampa Tribune
wired the Sugar Equalization board
of conditions that exist in Florida,
to which the following enlighening re-
ply was received.
Referring your telegram Oct. %.
Unfortunately there is not sufficient
sugar available to adequately take
care of the situation in Florida, New
Orleans normally supplies Florida at
this time of year and would be doing
so there now, except for the very
high prices they are demanding.
There is barely sufficient sugar in the
Fast to take care of actual consump-
tive demands. We have been facilj-
tating the purchase and importation
into Florida by several Florida
houses of Cuban graduated and white
sugar at prices above the existing

RAIN FISH AT GREEN COVE
Speckled Trout Come Down Out oi

things happen these days
and Green Cove Springs had its turn
Thursday.
About 10 o'clock Thursday morn
ing a dull thud was heard in A. D.
Flora's spacious yard. The chickens
suddenly became excited and some
men going to the spot saw brook
trout six inches long Topping about
on the lawn. 1t could have came
from nowhere except from the clouds.
Captain Canova, an old fisherman,
the man who attends the Beacon
lights viewed the strange fish and
said there were no speckled brook
trout in Florida. The fish was seen
by Mr.. Flora, Mr.. Bod and several
others. To think that some higher
power would voluntarily drop fish at
Green Cove Springs, to reduce the
high cost of living, has set everybody
specializing. 1t will remain mys-
terry until some person knows astron'
omy better than we do here.

theatrical performance, directed by an
exceptionally able stage manager and
carried out by skilled and disciplined
actors. And he adds that although he

The Only Way

AS the adjacent cartoon amply testifies,
the German newspapers these days are
not conspicuous for their hilarity and
for the unfaling optimism of their
news output. The Fatherland is not,
generally speaking, in merry mood.
Nevertheless, life has its humorous
compensations. Necessity has carried
to high degree the art of food-hunt-
ing. TO get enough to eat one must
often have recourse to strange expedi-
ents. One Of them is set forth in the
"Meggendorfer Blaetter":
Fish and potatoes were served at the
restaurant, both in the singular number
and the portion mserably small
Nevertheless, my neighbor got bone in
his throat and attracted general attention
with his coughing and grooming. Some per-
sons came to his help, suggesting that he
