Census enumerators Of the city met
at the Marshalltown Club Monday
night to check up with the club secre-
tary. G. II. Kemler, absentees who
might have been reported to the club.
These absentees VIII be looked up to-
day, and by tonight the enumeration o.
the city will be practically completed.
All of the enumerstors have had their
funny experiences. The most common
was being taken for book agents. and
Abundance refused until the situation
was explained. Ore woman remarked.
when she admitted"the enumerator. that
she mistook him for book agent, and
that was the reason that she let him
rap for half an hour.

met by the woman OF the house. Ex-
planting, thru the half-closed door, that
he was the census enumerator, the
woman replied curtiy: There are

shut the door.
SO you see, there IS some fun In

PRICES OF FRUIT ARE
BOOSTED BY DRY LAW
Growth of Soft Drink Industry
Also Partly to Blame for
Sugar Shortage.

Washington, July 30-Prohibltion is
responsible for the increasing cost OF
fruits and to large extent for the high
prices and scarcity of sugar, through the
tremendous boost given the soft drink
industry One dire result has been
to make it difficult if not impossible tor
two years to preserve large quantities OF
fruits and vegetables requiring sugar and
they have been wasted.
Fruit juices led by orangeade, are
most popular. The cola and caffeins
drinks are close behind. Cereal bever-
ages, commonly known as near-beers.
are in wide demand. Many of the
breweries were turred TO their manu-
facture.
New drinks are being developed daily.
The soft-drink makers find the American
public demands something to drink and
are undertaking to fill the demand with
a variety of beverages that appeal to the
imagination, smell taste and stomach.
Sugar provides the stimulation, but IN
different manner than when Il was used
for fermenting purposes.
A few years ago the taxes paid on soft
drinks were negligible. AT the present
rate of expansion the taxes IN year WI
be 500 DOC, 900 or more. This is from
one-third to one-fourth of the total
taxes from alcoholic drinks when the
war rates were on.
