Hammond's record or I hope out OF
mine
am genuinely sorry for several of
Dave Moffat's dupes. One particular
ly, have in mind. who owns a large
block of that stock which is valueless
unless this tunnel graft goes through,
and think is about as worthless af-
ter it does. But we cannot rob all
the people to take care of few un-
fortunate investors. And. seriously,
the sacrifice asked of the people will
not appreciably help them. o
If there is one good reason for sup
porting the tunnels. cannot see it.
I usually give great consideration to
your arguments, and try to see things
from your point of view, but this is
one that offers no chance for getting
together. The future will prove
which of us is right.
Yours sincerely,
C. T. RAWALT.

NOTHING HENRY FORDIsH
ABOUT THE SUGAR TRUST
Company Will Hold Wholesalers to
Recent Contract Price Of ~
Cents, Officials Say
(By Associated Pressl

(By Associated Press)
Boston, Oct. 6-The Revere Sugar
refinery today announced price Of
11s4 cents a pound for refined sugar.
Two weeks ago the company quoted
a nominal price of 221a cents pound.
with the statement that It was "out
of the market" but since that time
it has made several reductions.
w. E. Foster, vice president of the
American Sugar Refining company, in
a statement to Attorney General Al
len today in connection with the lat
ter's inquiry into the sugar situation,
said the company would require
wholesalers to live up to their con-
tracts for sugar at 221a cents a
pound, Notwithstanding recent de-
clines.
Retain Profit
The company would not be justified
in using its surplus of $23.00O.0O0 to
Vice President Foster set at
Slightly over $11, 200, ,0OO," the operat-
ing profits made by the American
company during the first eight
months of the year. Attorney Gem
eral Allen then sought to obtain from
the witness a statement as to the ex-
tent to which this profit would be
impaired if the company reduced its
price ON the 10000 tons of sugar
which Vice President Foster said it
had on hand.
Mr.. Foster estimated that if the
company reduced its price on the un-
delivered sugar to meet present mar
ket conditions it would cause loss
of S1O,OOO.0OO.
Division Proposed
"Well,' Attorney General Allen
asked, 'if you took loss of five
cents a pound you would lose only
S4,500,00O, wouldn't you?"
$50 it appears" the witness re-
piled after discussion of the calcula-
tions involved, but he added there
were many incidental expenses to be
considered

Carpenter Wins Over Levin.Isy

Well, now that the French idol,
Georges Carpenter. has put Battling
Levinsky out of the running, doing
the stunt in the fourth round, it looks
as though our own Jack Dempsey
will sit up and observe that Georges
has some punch of his own, and even
Levinsky is not the best in the heavy
weight division; he is tough one
and very few sport followers expect
ed Carpenter to turn the trick in SC
short time.
Jack has fad of his own lin not
prolonging the agony of his oppo-
ncnts over few rounds, and we pre-
dict Georges will succumb to the
same sleep producer when these two
meet.

JUDGING GOODS

In the present day of high prices
the fact develops more plainly than
it ever did before that few people are
judges of quality. They go according
to price in most instances, as any
Circle merchant will tell you, and they
have as general rule very little
knowledge of real value.
1t is not always the case that the
highest priced goods give the best
satisfaction in the matter of wear
Other things than wearing quality en-
ter into price-making. A pair of hose
costing five dollars may be cheap at
the price, all things considered, and
still not wear as long as a pair that
cost dollar. And if this is true of
wearing apparel how much more so is
it true of a thousand and one other
commodities, specially household
goods. Then, too, there seems to
have grown up around prices a sort
or myth-a belief that the more a
a thing costs the more it is worth
and the more readily it sells the bet
ter it is. Just as if the price had any
thing to do with either the beauty or
the wearing qualities of the article
in question.
When our mothers and fathers went
to the stors they did not look at the
price, they looked at the wearing
quality of the goods-they now buy
according to the price. And as re-
suit there are more complaints about |
The poor quality of goods now than |
here used to be. However, there are |
light idea-and that is to consider |
still left lot of people who hays the |
both quality and price before making
my purchase.

JAPAN AND MEXICO

There is no use denying the fac
that relations between the United
States and Mexico are strained, ant
will continue to be strained until the
Mexicans cease killing Americans
Neither is there any use denying the
fact that the Mexicans would be very
glad to have the sympathy of the
Japanese in a contention with this
country. But when enyone supposes
that Japan is going to make the Mexi-
can cause her cause, and go to the
war with the United States-it is ridi-
culous.
People who are alarmed about JAP
an overlook the fact that other ma
tions would have something to say in
the event Japan took sides with Mexi-
co in contention with us. Great Bri-
tain. especially, who is in an alliance
with Japan, would certainly have
something to say because Canada and
Australia have exactly the same fear
of Japanese migration that we have.
There isn't any likelihood that the
United States and Japan will ever go
to war, but if they do it will be found
that Great Britain is on the side of
the United State, and not alongside
the )ars.
There was a time when the Jap
anese scare" worried a lot of people
in this country, but not any more.
And largely because Japan had pref
ty good chance within the past two
years to learn what the United States
Is capable of doing when it becomes
necessary.
