Why Wisconsin Was Short on Sugar

Madison, Ten million pounds
of sugar were lost to consumers in
Wisconsin, due to the ruling of the
u. S. Sugar Equalization Board
which prohibited the shipment of
the past crop of Cuban cane sugar
west of Pittsburg, according to evi-
dence in the hands of the state divi-
sion Of markets, which shows that
Wisconsin wholesalers were COM
PEELED to give up los cars of eastern
sugar because OF federal zone regu-
lation. Much Of this sugar was
contracted for at &c a pound and
would have sold to the public at
from lie to l2c per pound. The
Sugar Equalization Board not only
forbade the filling of orders from
the west, but actually cancelled
existing contracts which had been

In cases where contracts were can
celled, the wholesaler was paid a
margin Of halt a cent per pound as
compensation.
Efforts by the state commission to
obtain modification OF the federal
ruling failed, as the sugar board
stated that it had the authority Of
the president TO keep cane sugar III
the east and even to confscate valid
contracts for such sugar.
The consequence Of the Sugar
Equalization Board action, said
one state market division official,
is that eastern sugar could not
come into the west but there was
no rule to prevent western sugar
from going east. The Sugar Equa-
lizatiou Board took pains to an

CONSTITUTIONAL PROHIBI-
TON NOW IN EFFECT
The Lid" Was Clamped On at Mid.
night Last Night and John Barley
corn Takes Long Rest.

This Saturday. morning our
country is dry" And this is sup
posed to include Hurley, too At
midnight last night the Eighteenth
Amendment to our Constitution be-
came in force, thus dealing the
death blow to Old John Barleycorn.
Thus the dry spell imposed on
the country by the War Time Pro-
hibition Act continues, probably
for all time. The jamboree which
it would be natural to expect would
attend such an momentous occasion
throughout the country was no
doubt considerably tempered on ac-
count of the fact that the country
has been technically dry since
War Time Prohibition became in
force, and press dispatches indicated
that there would be no unusual
commotion OH the advent of consti-
tutional amendment prohibition.
The respite which the "wets" hop.
ed would come before the final hour
failed to materialize. Their hopes
were blasted when congress failed
to ratify the Peace Treaty and thus
give President Wilson the oppor-
tunity to raise the war time ban.
From circular letter sent out by
Thos. A. Delaney, federal prohibi-
ton director for Wisconsin, is ex-
cerpted the following salient points
regarding prohibition:
Liquor for non beverage pur-
poses and wines for sacramental
purposes, may be manufactured.
purchased, sold, furnished and pos
sessed as outlined in the law, upon
giving bonds and obtaining per
r1its under regulations prescribed
by the commissioner.
The provisions of the law are to
be construed literally, to the end
that the use of Intoxicating liquor
as beverage NAV be prevented.
The fine for the first olfense for
selling intoxicating liquor is not
more than $1,000 90 or imprison-
ment for not exceeding six months.
The second or subsequent o(Tense
shall be punished by a fine of not
less than $4,000 nor more than
100000 and Imprisonment for not
less than one month nor more than
five years.
Prohibition is going to be en-
forced and the machinery provided
is sufficient to enable the enforce
ment thereof.

His Resignation IT Annual Meeting
of Sto. kholders.

| The thirty fifth annual meeting of
the stockholders of the Iron FIX
change Bank was held at the of
fee of the bank Thursday, Jan
uary Sth, at 4;3o P. NJ, and prov
ed to be one of the most important
in the history of the local institu
tion.
During the past year 2S citizens
of Hurley have acquired stock III
the bank, and 22 stockholders out
of 80 representing 457 shares of
total of 500, attended the meeting.
Or. J c. Reynolds of Lake Gene
va, who has been president since
the organization of the bank m
1885, presided. d. c. Oweff
cashier, read his annual report
showing that during the year 1910
the Capital Stock had been increas-
ed from $50, 900 to $50, 900, Sur
plus Account from $40, 600 to $50,
600, that taxes and interest charges
had been provided for, depreciation
of every kind looked after. He re-
ported the gross receipts, gross ex-
penses and net revenue, all of which
were very satisfactory. He also
showed total resources having adj
vanced from SOS, 600 i'll January,
1910 to 81, ,o46 600 on January Ist,
1920. The report of condition Of
the bank on January / st was taken
up III detail and each item fully ex
planned. The report was accepted
as read. The election of seven dir
ectors for the ensuing year was TAX
en- up, and DR.. Reynolds addressing
the stockholders said it was with a
feeling of much regret that he had
decided to lay down his long and
pleasant duties as president of the
bank. He felt that he had reached
that time i'll life when he was en-
titled to vacation He thought
the work should be placed on
younger shoulders, and it would
undoubtedly be better for the bank
if all the officers resided in Hurley,
where they would be on the spot
and could consult freely. Dr.. Rey-
nolds said he was sure the present
stockholders represented the busi-
ness strength of Hurley and the
future of the bank was assured:
he intended to retain a substantial
interest in the bank and sincerely
hoped the residents of Iron County
would continue to accord the new
officers that same loyalty and trust
SO long enjoyed by both he and his
brother. On motion of Mr.. Owen,
Geo. c. Foster, Judge Thomas and
Louis Voigt were appointed a COM
mittee to draft suitable resolutions
on the resignation and long and
valuable services of DR.. Reynolds.
The following directors were then
nominated and elected; D. c. Owen.

that the seventh game played be-

three games when dsbanded there
is no 1920 champion.
Letcher Thinks Penalties Light.
This is the most deplorable situa-
tion in the history of organized base
ball and the directors felt that the
extreme penalties were incommen-

Letcher said in telling newspaper
