 SUGAR FAMINE NEEDLESS
Many Carloads in Chicago Yards in Midst Of Fictitious Shortage

Chicago. May 23.--An the time that Chicago has been bowling for sugar and being put off with dabs of half pound or so at any price the holder cared or dared to charge, carloads, to- taling 2.500,000 pounds of sugar, have been kicking around in the railroad yards here, increasing in price every minute, owing to strong demand and the demurrage charges.
 The 24 cars were located today rest ing on siding near the Field Muse um. The sugar was shipped from New Orleans and the various consignees have been notified by the Illinois Cen tral railway officils to get the sugar out of the cars, but the latter say they are unable to get trucks. Railway men say the sugar has been shunted around various yards and sidings, but has now been assembled on a spur practically in the heart of the city where it can be reached and removed easily,
 The consignees for the most part are candy manufacturers, one firm getting five carloads. Meanwhile, gov. ernment officials are tracing the de yious routes followed by the cars. tc ascertain if proceedings can be start ed against the consignees for delay iu putting the sugar on the market.

Something New in Strawberries.

c. H. Webster, beyond doubt one of the best posted berry growers in Mena, recently presented the editor with box of unusual quality. They came from a purchase of 100 plants, Towards No. IT, and called the Mill lion Dollar Berry. They were of large size, smooth in shape and high ly colored. With a view to testing these, they were kept two days out of the refrigerator and then three in- side, and at the end were sound, d strong proof of quality Deep red on the outside, the meat is very white, and they have excellent flavor, and are not of the sour type. Any straw berry is good, but some are even bet ter, and this way prove to be worth a million; and here's hoping for more of them.

Luck VIII Change Anyhow

Ellis Goss has a great variety of experiences to relate Monday morn ing. On Sunday he had his first taste of home grown Irish potatoes for the season New potatoes are only worth about 20 cents a pound, but Ellis said he was hungry for some and couldn' t wait any longer. On Monday, while attempting to open a window with a hammer, the hammer slipped and he received a wicked blow just above the left eye. After receiving medical at tention he started to cut grass and weeds in the alley near his store and found two fourleaf clovers and now he believes his luck will change
