Make FORTUNES IN CANDY DEALS.

That the government of the United States has
deliberately fostered and encouraged downright
swindling of the people Is disclosed by InIor-
nation coming from New York City that the
war department within the period that has
elapsed since the armistice has aided and abet-
ted the most colossal candy prohteerlng schemes
ever perpetrated. Possessing the necessary IN
fluence, certain brokers whose names were I'M
known in the candy trade eighteen months ago
have acquired fortunes sometimes mounting IN
to the hundreds of thousands OF dollars, by
purchasing from the army at eight and ten
cents pound candy which was selling on the
retail market at eighty cents and one dollar.
This candy was purchased originally or con-
tracted for during the in order that it mi ght
he resold or in some rare instances, issued free
to the soldiers That little of it if any ever
reached them the men who were in the service
overseas can testify. When the fighting ceased,
according to authoritative statements there
were six million pounds of candies either in or
being manufactured for, the army supply bases
a very large part of it consisted Of chocolate
candies of good quality, packed in tins and each
piece wrapped in tin foil
1t was then that the administration proceeded
to play philanthropist to the favored candy pro-
fiteers, and the open season for giving away the
soldiers candies to pet brokers seems to have
reached its height shortly before the Christmas
holidays of last year.
One broker alone is said to have bought hun
.dreds Of thousands Of pounds Of the best choco-
flates in the army storehouses at Philadelphia
without putting up any money for them
After he had gone through the warehouses
and had made his selection the government
stored the goods for him free of charge until he
had combed the market and had secured large
number of purchasers for the wares AS rapid
Iy as he found these purchasers they raid him
and he in turn paid the government for the
stock they had contracted for after which the
purchasers carted the goods away from the
warehouses at their own expense.
When the public obtained these candies it
was at asrate about ten times what the govern
1nent hadreceived for them. It would be i'm
possible4to estimate the number of people who
bought candies during the last Christmas holi-
days and since at one dollar a pound without
having the least idea that their own government
had sold these same goods at ten cents per
pound.
Candies of much cheaper grades have been
scattered about the country in exactly the same
manner, some of the varieties going out of the

warehouses at one cent package to be later
sold at ten cents package.
Why this stock, which was purchased for the
soldiers, is not given to them is mystery.
Even at the present time the government is per-
hitting enormous stocks of candies to lay IN
waste in its warehouses, and the surplus is large
enough to enable Unce Sam to play Santa Claus
to all the kiddies in the state of Iowa.

J HITS AUTO FACTORIES

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 12.-OU. P.)
Tightening of money by banks will
force suspension OF the automobile in
dustry, within short time. Indianap-
oils manufacturers said today. Thous-
ands OF semployes in automobile fac
tories here are already laid off and
forces are being reduced still further.
Manufacturers have attributed this to
the refusal of banks throughout the
country to extend credit to dealers
and makers of automobiles.
III the banks continue their refusal
to grant loans, or extend those already
outstanding, every branch of the mo-
tor car industry will be forced TO shut
down pretty soon." in the opinion of

duction of the William Small company

duced their force to a third of the

mon company has released 1000 men
and the remaining 5000 is expected to
be reduced gradually. The national
