ator Arthur Capper, Kansas, repub-
lican, to thwart sugar profiteers.

Practically 10000 corporations aver
aged war profits of more than $500,

Even the humble banana has be-
come a kingly profiteer," Capper
said. "The most brazen challenge OF
the government we have had in this
long saturnalia Of greed comes from
gamblers in sugar. This body and
this government are soon to hear
very emphatically from the people in
regard to profiteering in sugar. The
canning season raid is on. The price
is already rising dollar a week
wholesale in early anticipation OF the
canning season. For years the sugar
interests have annually shamelessly
and openly robbed American house
wives during the canning season.
They have with their extortionate
charges regularly blighted the poor
family's only hope Of putting up and
storing away cheap and wholesome
supply Of vegetables and fruits for
the winter which every principle OF
healthful diet demands. The people
are helpless"
He predicted no steak weeks, en-
forced by necessity instead of by
proclamation" at no distant day I'M
less profiteering is checked.
Attorney General Palmer plans to
give a straight from the shoulder
communication to sugar refiners
whom he called to meet here today,
it was learned. .r..
Palmer, either directly or through
Assistant Attorney General Figg, in
tends to demand that the refiners
take measures to keep down soaring
sugar prices or give good reasons for
the recent increases. - .
Sugar is now selling at rs cents
per pound in many cities. In others

Thus, seven months ago, was born the
new Lafayette, which was shown for
the first time at the national shows this
year. From the very outset the auto
mobile public has evinced an interest and
confidence in the result of Mr.. White ;
work. When the stock was offered for
sale last summer the entire issue was
subscribed within four days. Now, be-
fore a price announcement has been
made, many people have placed their
names on the waiting list for cars.

Lafayette has been expressed. Leading

although heavily booked with orders,
have made earnest efforts to be tdenti-
fled with this splendid new car.
