Two Wedding Anniversaries

Two Anita couples celebrated
wedding anniversaries last week,
one of the couples being Daniel b.
Harrison and wife who celebrated
their golden wedding anniversary,
and the other being William White
and wife, who have been married
Sc years.
Daniel B. Harrison and wife were
married on the 25th day of January,
1875 at Cadiz, Ohio, and came to
Iowa a few years later. They To-
Gated first at Gripnell and then
went to Anita in September, 1888.
They have lived there ever since.
Mr.. Harrison was in the elevator
business at Anita for many years
but for the last fifteen years has
been retired. They were at home
to their many friends Sunday from
two o'clock till evening, and with
all of their children save one,
around them, the day was one OF
pleasure. Their children are Miss
Matte at home; DR.. j. w. Harri-

sngnr Profiteers at Panora

A Panora dealer got in fifty 100
pound sacks of sugar last week and
there was a great scramble to get in
on ii at $24 a sack People were
urged tn buy and We're stampeded
into helping the profteers in this
commodity, by the old shout, tits
go'ne higher!"
When the other dealers have been
able to get hut a sack or two at a
time from wholesale houses there is
Just one exclamation of how in time
of supposed shortage fifty sacks
could be secured all at once, and
that explanation is that some pro-
fiteering broker was willing to let
go at a big premium.
The people who buy sugar in 100
pound lots under these circum-
gathering in like amounts by sour
rying around to every store and
getting two pounds or so at time
have no kick coming about profiteer-
ing. They are doing just what
these profteers want them to do;
they are boosting the price OF sugar
on themselves and everybody else,
particularly on people who can buy
only a little at a time.
1t is hard to know who to blame
the most--the thieving broker who
is waxing fat in the peoples need
OF a commodity. the dealer who is
urging the patrons to buy and thus
helping along the profiteer's game,
or the suckers who rush in and buy
their heads off and pay an exhorbi-
tant price just because the brokers
and dealers scare them into 1t.
The sugar steal is notorious. II
has been a monstrous bit of thiev-
cry all through. There is only
one way 10 curb it and that is to
refuse to buy until the price is low
cred. 1t would be the best thing
that could happen If the profiteers
who have bought up the sugar and
the dealers who buv so sacks at
once to unload on the easy marks
could be left with il on their hands
for about a year.
Everybody could get along with
out sugar for a little while. IL the
bottom dropped out of the demand
and stayed out for a while the price
of the commodity would come
down.
Some day we will wake up and
see what a lot of sheep we have
been in this sugar business and we
will also realize that high prices are
largely the fault Of the buying pub
lie.
