SUGAR PRICES TAKING ...~-.<,
GREAT DOWNWARD SLIP,
Predict That Price Will Drop TO 10
Cents Per Pound BY Early
Winter.

That sugar will sell for as low as 10
or II cents per pound is the prediction
made by local dealers. Sugar is at
present being sold by the local retail
ers for as low as 10 cents per pound
with indications Of the price dropping
much lower from now on until the
middle of the winter, says the Grand
Forks Herald.
| Reports received here contain the i'll
formation that sugar has already been
sold by eastern retailers for as low as
/ II cents, while jobbers were offering
round lots for and 3 cents per pound
less. +
! The reports say that, Caught in the
slump are scores Of individuals and
concerns who bought up heavily at top
prices, and now are forced to unload
their surplus stock in declining market.
Sugar prices seem likely to drop to
lower levels, with the market glutted
with stock far beyond the normal de-
mand according to the prediction of
those closely identified with the bust
ness in Washington, D. c.
A. miscalculation about the effects of
prohibition really started the break in
sugar prices, it is claimed. A contrib
uting cause is the haste of sugar deal
ers all over the country, some of whom
have never before sought the American
market, to rush their supplies here to
get the benefit of the high prices.
Big candy and soft drink manufac-
lures calculated last summer and fall
that national prohibition would create
a demand never before known in this
country. They made a rush for the
available sugar supplies, and gobbled
them up. One result was that for
weeks last spring the average individ-
ual was informed by his grocer there
was no sugar to be had. Refiners ma
turally took advantage of the demand
to boost prices, until they reached as
high as 25 and 80 cents per pound vir-
tually prohibitive to many small COIL
sumers ...-.M
This summer the candy and soft
drink manufacturers We're rudely
awakened by the realization that the
public had not gone as crazy over sweet |
stuff as anticipated. Accordingly they
began to unload. At least, that is the |
information given to local dealers.

PROPOSE MEMORIAL
TO CLAUD HOWARD

4 number Of Deming citizens have
spoken tC the Graphic in regard To a
memorial of some kind to the memory
Of Claud Howard, who lost his life In
France during the world war. II is
proposed To place some simple tablet
or monument in the Mountainview
cemetery in order that respect may h@
paid to his memory on Decoration Day.
The body of Claud Howard was not re-
covered or, at least, was never identi-
fled and fills n common grave III
France. 1t would seem fitting that his
fellow townsmcn should thus com
memorate the sacrifice which he made
by erecting an enduring monument to
his memory.
For the purpose outlined before. II Is
proposed that the citizens Of Beming
give small sums that all may have u
part In honoring the fallen hero who
spent his early life IN Deming and who
paid the last full measure for his
country

able that the plans are formulated,
though just what will happen Is not
altogether clear. Not many can be
taken from here at this time as a
sufficient number have already been
assigned from outside points and the
service Is very short on accommoda-
lions for tubercular patients. II Is
probable that the local hospital will be
used as a regulating station for the

CARRIED STRYCHN|NE.
IN HER VANITY CASE
Probably All Through Nerye-Raeldng
Trial Doster Woman Had Deadly
Poison on Her Person
MRS. 1. z. DAVIS DISCOVERED IT
On Eve Of Their Trip to Penitentiary
nj Santa Fe. Wife Of Deputy
Sheriff Grows Suspicious

Along with her powder puff and all
those other little mysteries Of n wo-
mans vanity case, Maud Doster, con-
victed OF killing Capt. Wade Doster at
Columbus last March, had a box or
strychninc tablets, enough to have
killed all the gophers Of Luna county.
The poison was found by Mrs. l.. ".
Davis ON the eve OF their trip to Santa
Fe, May ., when the Doster woman
began serving her sentence Of three
years In the state penitentiary. Mrs.
Davis rode In drawing room with
the prisoner. who was very weak and Ill
aud gave no trouble during the trip.
II Is suspected that the Doster
woman intended to take the poison In
. case OF verdict Of first degree murder
and that she must have carried II with
her throughout the trial. She was
searched when she entered the county
jail and Il II thought that some OF the
sentimentalists who are always found
TO sympathlze with notorious prisoners
slipped II TO her.
Sheriff W. G. Simpson had very LITTLE
trouble with her, but says that 'sh'
never realized that she was a prisoner
charged with capital crime"

THE BLACK CAT JINX DESTROYED

Has a black cat ever crossed your
path?
What terrible sensation followed
when IL did and for weeks every time
something went wrong at home or
there was a business reverse the poor
kitty came in for all the blame.
II was back In the sixteenth CEN
fury, according to learned historian
" Rhode Island. that the superstition
Of the black cat fable was introduced.
A clergyman was returning from his
church after the Sunday evening SER
mon and he carried with him the days
offering OF the congregation. A black
eat darted In front of him, without
warning. and as the story goes, ten
steps later he was felled when heart
less bandit attacked him. The victim
was robbed and the assailant fled. And
all OF this was attributed TO the act
Of the harmless feline.
History repeats itself In Douglas

ton, when the Clouds Roll By"

he Is not attacked by n thug, but a

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

There IL something suspicious about
the latest Mexican rebellion. at least.
the edse with which the coup has been
accomplished carries threat Of de-
layed action somewhere. There re-
mains no doubt Of the elimination Of
Cnrrnnza. but the espousal Of Obregon
and his cause Is too unanimous, some
thing that doesn't ordinarily happen In
Mexican politics Even villa, who must
hate Obregon with all the hate OF his
bitter soul has come In "out of the
wet" Lovely! II would seem that all
the factions are about to get together
over the politically dead body Of "old
Whiskers"- Bandits who make their
living by f0mentlng trouble aren't
going to be satisfied long TO settle down
to the ways Of peace. They have to
make n living.
Obregon Is batter of Americans
quite as much as Carranza and II Is
not likely that he has changed his
spots" though he has spoken some dip
lomatic words about friendly relations
with the United States.
What the attitude Of the state de-
partment will be toward the new gov
eminent Is bard 60 forecast. Carranza
il the favorite Of the administration,
hut the administration likes to back a
winner, and II Is just possible that II
viii now repudiate its protege in MS
hard luck. In any case the situation
is hardly one OF particular comfort for
this country or Americans In Mexico
A general air OF hopefulness Is evident
however. probably because the situation
which has existed could he improved
upon by almost any change.
The collapse Of the Carranza. govern
ment is so complete that there Is little
doubt but that this country will recog
nize the de facto government OF Mexico
when the request has been received.
