ried there that evening to g. L..
Huxtable, an estimable and veal
thy citizen of Orlando. The cere-
mony occurred at the home Of

Admirable qualities, which have
endeared her practically to every

particularly true of the church

most devoted and tireless worker.
They will miss her greatly, but
will join with every one else in
fervent prayers for her lifelong

The gentleman who has been so
fortunate as to win Miss Wing s

CHEER UP MABEL"
STORY OF MOVIES.

"Cheer Up Mabel" a clean and
sweet musical comedy, a George E.
Mintz offering is announced by
Manager Dudley at the Opera House
Thursday night. The story is of a
beautiful California girl who enters
the movies and when her success is
won she falls in love with young
aviator who asks her to leave the
screen for a hone gmoon trip to the
Hawaiian Islands, where he has been
assigned for three years. Does she
leave the movies? To be playing one
of the most important roles in a
Wintz production is the distinction
enjoyed by Nyra Brown. Her ap-
pearance in "Cheer Up Mabel" does
not mark her Metropolitan debut, but
Nyra previously appeared on Broad
way in "Up In Mabel's Room" and in
the big Hippodrome success, "Cheer
Up" Miss Nyra has been conceded
by many as the most beautiful of the
present day musical comedy stars.

jury in Superior Court last evening

negro, on trial for the killing of Lee

hours. The case was hard fought,
johnson being defended by Attor-
neys Hollis Fort, Bradley Hogg, G. C.
Webb and George R. Ellis, who were
interested in the case largely because
of the reputation of the negro, who
has lived on Mr. Hogg's place for Is
years, since he was 10 years of age.
A number of prominent farmers of
the section close to Mr.. Hogg's place
testified to the good character of
johnson. The negro slain was shown
to have been drunk and to have at
tackled Johnson with long stick.
He was of bad repute and when
slain had two warrants standing
against him. 1t was said the indict-
ment against Arthur Crumley, accus-
ed jointly with Johnson, would be mol
pressed.

SUGAR MAY GO TO 25 TO
 30 GENTS A POUND
Unless Government Assumes Control of Distribution, Experts Say.
 Shortage Right Now.

Washington, Oct. 1.-The price of sugar is destined to go to 25 or 30 cents a pound during the next year and to become mighty scarce at that unless the government speedily assum- e3 control of it's distribution.
 Even under the most favorable cir cumstances. the price is bound to go up and may touch 15 cents during the winter and for several months there after This is the opinion of the Sugar Bureau Of the Department Of out speculation in the commodity and keep retail prices within reasonable bounds
 The department is urging the pres ident to give government control Of the distribution until the supply of sugar for the production of candy, soft drinks and other lu4uries would be strictly limited and the price of sugar to the householder regulated. Then under the amended food control act, sugar profiteers would be prosecuted.
 The Senate Committee on Agricul- ture today directed a subcommittee to investigate Senator News charges that the president failed to adopt the Sugar Equalization Board recommen- dations to extend government control to the fOrthcOming cane and beat sugar crops for the purpose of conserving the supply and restricting prices dur ing the next year.
 Shortage Exists Now.
 The country is suffering from sugar shortage right now. There is enough sugar to go around with the result that a decided crimp has been put in home canning operations every where while thousands of localities lack sufficient supplies for table use,
 According to the Department of Justice, there is not a pound of sugar today in the retail stores in the en- tire state of Indiana. This is because Indiana is in the twilight zone of war time sugar control, between the beet sugar supply of the West and the cane sugar supply of the East. In Minnesota, the Dakotas, Montana, Utah and other states in the heart of the sugar belt, sugar is being rationed locally because of the shortage.
