Every merchant and dealer, whole.
saler, retailer and producer, in the
country are playing at the game of
passing the buck, when the question
of who is getting the profit, is asked.
The producer declares he is paying
more for labor and the cost of produc
ton than ever before, therefore, he
must ask more for his products. The
wholesaler states that it costs more
for him to buy his goods, and more to
get them to the retailer than ever be-
fore, and that the certain per cent OF
wastage and higher cost of the office
force all make it necessary for him
to boost the price along. Go to the re,
taller, and he will say where sales CT
500 netted him $25 a few years ago,
that now he is forced to make a $3.50
sale to get the same margin.
He is no better off and about the
only result he can see from an in
creased business is that he has had
to increase his outlay of capital to
meet the conditions. We get back
again to the laboring man, the whole
saler, and the retailer, who in the
end are also the consumers. and we
find that somehow the II. c. of l..

SUGAR Enouah and to spare.

The approach of the canning season
is always the signal for an enlarged
call for sugar in Burlington as else
where. This year is no exception to
the rule, with the attending circum'
stances somewhat aggravated" Bur
lington is a jobbing and wholesale cen
ter for a wide radious Of territory, in
ending a considerable portion of
northern New York, and some of our
outlying districts felt the present
sugar scare before it has really taken
hold of this community. Now that
people begin to understand the stu
alton, there is seen to be no reason
for undue anxiety.
The United States Sugar Equaliza-
ton Board announces there is no
general shortage OF sugar in the Unit
ed States to justify an increase in
price" The board said there are
some local shortages but the board
is taking steps to end these by. stop

follows: These local shortages are
in refined sugar alone. and will last
for only brief time. There is plenty
OF raw sugar, and it will continue to

GET RID OF ANTS
Method to Rid the House of These
Small Pests

Method to Rid the House of These
Small Pests
An extension service worker called
recently at home in Vermont town
and it was not long before the house
wife was telling of her difficulties
of which was ants. There We're little
red and black ants which made house
keeping anything but enjoyable.
There may be other women who are
having this same experience; hence,
the following formula is given by Ber-
tina A. Holden, Home Economic Speci-
University of Vermont and State
Agricultural college. Dissolve one
pound of sugar in one quart of hot
water and add one-third of an ounce
arsenate of soda; boil the mixture and
train, and allow it to cool. Small
sponges should then be dipped in this
liquid, put on shallow dishes and plac-
ed where the ants are found. All
food should be removed. and every
Drecauton taken, because arsenate of
soda is poisonous to both men and
animals.
Ants may sometimes be collected
with bait of honey. molasses, or
sugar syrup. When they gather
around the bait placed in small
shallow dish or on sponge, they
should be collected several times daily
and destroyed by immersion in hot
water. This method as well as dust
ing with borax or other non-poisonous
remedies, sometimes proves success
full when the pests are few.
When the nests of ants can be loo
ated. they may be destroyed by in
iecting little kerosene or gasolene
from the oil can. These remedies are
inhammable and every precaution
must be taken to see that no fire is
present
The presence of ants can be large
ly limited by disposing of all food
that is accessible to the ants and by
keeping the pantry, refrigerator and
all infested places clean, well aired
and free from exposed food. Food
should be kept in an ant.proof metal
or earthen container.

lord AND LADY ALGY"

Today is Maxine Elliott's forty-sixth
birthday anniversary. But she doesn't
look it. Last night at the Grand she
played Lady Algy" opposite William
and Lady Algy," charming English
comedy. which loyalty to things Amer
lean prevents admission that it is more
finished and more interesting than a
States production. But it is different
and therein lies a charm, and of
charms it has many.
Every seat was sold for the perform
ance, the boxes were filled and most
of the gallery seats were occupied. No
more pleasing entertainment can be
offered the theater lover than a high
class comedy, well acted and staged
and the play last night was one of the
most enjoyable entertainments offered
Topekans in many a day. Miss Ell
lott has many claims to fame one of
the least of which is that she was once
a wife to Nat Goodwin, which showed
his good taste. But she divorced him
many years ago, which shows her
good sense. Her beauty is richer,
deeper, more captivating than when
her fame as an actress was in the
making. when her ambition to have
her own theater in New York seemed
farther away than it proved to be.
Miss ElIiott's gowns were gorgeous
and she wore them well.
William Faversham is an English
man and Will be 81 years old this
month. He was for time in the Eng
lish army, but came to America and
was Minnie Maddern's leading man in
1888 and 1890, when Miss Madden

stands in Caprice and "In Spite of
All" Mr.. Faversham is remembered
by theatergoers of a generation ago as
showing promise of the finish he has
reached, tho one might, without be-
ing carpingly critical, suggest that he
not play quite so openly to the audi
ence. 1t suggests a selfconsciousness,
movie esque touch that cheapens his
art.
The supporting company was all
that could be desired. Miss Mary

looked good enough to eat and caused
