Had Ingredients
For Teddy All But
A Little Sugar

Woe has befallen the prosperous little
town of Somervllle. Tenn.
tbs a sad, sad story, but vouched for
| by none other than the Hon. Chas, A,
S~tainback, whose veraclty Is unques-
toned.
At the base of all the trouble is the
scarcity of sugar. You may say that
| Somerville is not alone in the general
shortage Of sugar, but that is only a
part of the story.
It seems that despite the edict of the
congress of the United States that
thirsts for anything stronger than
water should be cast into the discard,
| that Somerville, or at least one of the
leading legal lights Of that community,
| still remembers the refreshing long
toddies of days gone by.
Through some act of Providence
there is apparently on hand in Somer-
vile all of the necessary Ingredients
of an old fashioned long toddy, federal
and state laws Notwithstanding. The
owners of these precious articles were
congratulating themselves upon theh"
| splendid luck or foresight, whichever 1t
may be. when the sugar shortage put
In an appearance.
Someryille merchants were not anX-
ious to offer sugar to their customers
at % cents per pound owing to the
existence of a recent federal law which
defines profiteering. But they were
forced to pay 21 and 90 cents per
pound to the Memphis wholesalers and.
as a last resort told their troubles to
their attorney, the aforesaid Chas. A.,
Stainback.
Things had reached a critical stage
so Mr., Stainback communicated with
VIM. D. Kyser, United States attorney
at Memphis, laying all Of the facts be-
fore him and with the query as to
whether or not rs cents per pound
would be considered profiteering. Con-
GLIDING his tale of woe Mr.. Stainback
ventures the information that there
isn't enough sugar in ,Somerville to
sweeten a toddy."
Mr.. Kyser had advised Mr.. Stain
back that sugar purchased for y cents
per pound may be sold at rs cents per
pound without violating the profiteer-
ing act but the district attorney also is
anxious to ascertain the whereabouts
Of the remaining ingredients, Of a long
toddy that Mr.. Stainback hints very
strongly are to be procured within the
confines of Somerville.
