Hera is a raluable euggestion to some
of the business men and he who runs
may read. After midnight of Oetobor
31, 1917, the war revenue act becomes
effective, providing for the collection
of a 3 per cent tax on all freight bills
Both of the railroads in the city will be
obliged to begiu charging the extra
three per cent on all freight not only
on all freight bills in the office, but
those that happen to come in a few
hours after midnight of Oct. 31. In
order to escape this tax it behooves
merchants who may have overlooked n
freight bill of a few days before th
31st to get busy and visit the freight
office aud dig up. Tho freight agent
will have nothing to do but just tack
on that war three per cont on every
bill he happens to have on hand when
he yets down to. the office on tho niorn
I'.g of Nov. 1.

will arrive. Acute famine feared.
Boston Price 10 1-2 cents;, sugar
scarce; sales restricted.
The far west and the Pacific coast
was practically the only general section
of the country not affected by the short
age. Reports from these sections follow:
San Francisco No shortage here. One
big dealer said sugar crops this sunimel
normal Hawaiian croy uepends entirely
on weather.
Denver Retail sugar beet - prices
$8.05 per hunuredwetgnt; cane; $8.45.
New crop irom Greeley district just
coming on market and supply plentiful.
Portland, Or. Sugar prices wholesale,
from $8 to $9.50. Market not unusually
short and no restriction on purchases.
Confeeuonera; have oeen particularly
hard hit by the shortage.. Until recent
ly they we're operating 2-i hours a day.
ISow t hey are -working eight hours, aud
with curtaileu forces.
Packers also are feeling the effeots
of the shortage. Ordinarily, the cheap
est grades of sugar are used by them.
Recen.lv, a packer bought an entire car
load of" the highest priced table sugar
on the market the only available then
and broke open the packages to use
it in mincemeat;
Philadelphia aud Pittsburgh both re
ported no apparent shortage as yet, with
prices not unduly High.
"Thn Tefinerii cannot get the raw
material here," said one of the big
gest producers in Nejr ork today to
thn United Press.
"We have closed down entirely now
because raw sugar is simply not on the
the market." reported the Warner
Suirar refining company.
Other authorities said the new crop
will not begin to come in until the mid
dle of Movembcr and tnen me wesieru
hoot, anirnr, is relied UDon to help out.
The Louisiana crop is reported normal
and it will be the first cane sugar crop
on the market.
Cuba's erp will not be ready until
about December 15. The present refin
ers' price for sugar is $8.35 per hund
redweight. .
The normal margin for sugar hand
ling is about a cent and a half a pound.
Where sugar refiners today protest
ed they were "up against it" was the
beet sugar men's agreement with the
food administration not to pay more
than $7.25 per Hundredweight at sea
board to produce first, This, the re
finers sav, eompels the cane refiners
to buv at tne same price, otherwise
they cannot compete with beet prices.
House wfvea reel Pinch.
New York, Oct. 18. New York house
wiv. felt the first pinch of war on
Ltheir food supplies today when they
found it impossible to Duy large .juiuiii
ties of suar.
Many dealers refused to sell more
thaa one pound to any one individual.
Other grocrs set the limit at two
pounds, but refused to sell until 1
worth of other goods was taken. Retail
ers demanded 12 cents a pound for
sugar in many instances.
Dealers declared they were unable
to get sugar from the refiners and pre
dicted acute shortage by the end of the
week. ,
Housewives who tried to lay in a
good sugar supply by going from store
to store and buying the maximum al
lowance of two "pounds, found grocers
refusing to- sell any sugar whatsoever
except to regular customers.
Says West Has Plenty.
San Franeise. Oet. 18. The west
seed aot fear a sugar famine and there
will be plenty of sweetness not only for
the United States, but for her allies dur
ing the next few months, if the house
wives keep their heads.
But if the housewives become panic
stricken and begin buying sacks of
sugar just on the chance there is going
to be a shortage, then there will bo
trouble ahead.
That is the opinion of a leading west
ern sugar dealer expressed, here today.
I' ' There is no res son to believe that
the sugar yield will be below normal
this year," he declared. "The . beet
sugar supply of t..e western states will
keep the west supplied. There may be a
little pinch in the east until the Cuban,
Hawaiian and other cane crops are on
the market."
Farmers Filo rroiest. -
Denver, Oct. 18. Charging that low
prices paid the producers and chil
labor employed by foreigners have driv
en near all farmers, except the foreign
element, out of the Colorado beet sugar
industry, an appeal from growers to
Herbert Hoover to fix the price paid
to farmers for sugar beets, is today on
its way to Washington.
The letter signed by Thomas Park,
president of the Fort Morgan Farmers'
union; J. M. Collins, president of the
State Farmers' union, and J. A. Hicks,
president of the Rocky Mountain States
Sugar Beet Growers association, de
clares that a "terrible tragedy is be
ing enacted here."
"We are sure that you are totally
unaware of it, or some effort would
have been advanced; but now that you
know, we feel that some effort will be
made by you," says the letter.
Taking the Great Western Sugar com
pany which handles the bulk of the
crop of this seetion, as an example, the
appeal gives production figures to show
that sugar compauies make a net pro
fit of $226.40 from each acre of beets,
while the farmer averages $4 profit
per acre.
The huge Liberty loan purchases of
the Great Western and other sugar com
panies are commended and the letter
adds:
' ' We are only human and we feel that
same surging impulse to support our
country in her time of need. Cannot you
make it possible for us to come more
closely into possession of what we would
deem a more equitable division of the
profits in this great industry, that we
may also purchase Liberty bonds and
share in the supreme glory of respond
ing to our country '8 calif"
Warning that Thomas B. Stearns, food
controller for Colorado, is nofr building
a beet sugar factory, the farmers point
out that his interests "are directly op
posite la those of the farmer "and warn
Hoover in ease he decides to investi
gate the situation, to secure his data
from unbiased sources.
The Great Western Sugar company,
in addition to its regular quarterly div
idend of 1 3 4 per eeut on common stock,
has declared three extra dividends of.
10 per cent each, amounting to $4,500,-
000, already this year. I

Secretary Lansing Takes
Sides with Sweden
Washington, Oct. 18. That Secretary
Lansing has ordered the American am
bassador at London to intervene in
Sweden's behalf to secure the release
of diplomatic mail held up in the
British embassy was elaimed by Swed
ish officials todayj
Secretary Lansing declined to dis
cuss the subject. It was not denied
that the state department consented to
cable Stockholm in tho Swedish code
for Minister Ekingren, who is denied
his privilege by Great Britain, as a
result of the Luxburg " spurlos vcr
sunkt" affair.
On the highest Swedish authority
here it was learned today that domin
ating figures in the war trade board
have championed the Swedes' cause in
order to release economic data in the
three mail pouches and one valise the
British hold.
If the British break the seuls and in
spect the mails without official per
mission from the Swedish foreign of
fice, a rupture in diplomatic, relations
between the two countries is likely to
follow, Swedish and other neutral
diplomats here stated. Neutrals feat
such a precedent.
American Eagle Will Chase
Turkey to New Altitudes
Chicago,. Oct. IS. The American
eagle is going to chase tho Thanksgiv
ing turkey to a new altitude record..
That was the prediction tod;iy of
delegates to tho National Poultry But
ter and Kgg association convention,
which closed its sessions here last
night.
They explained that the war haa
forced feed prices so high that turkey
producers can 't afford to raise tho
birds so the dealers will have to raiao
the prices.
No one would venture an opinion as
to just how much higher turkeys would
bo -this year, but they were unanimous
that the price would be "several
cents" more a pound than last year,
when Chicago dealers paid 27 cents a
pound, wholesale. Turkeys are now 22
to 33 ccuts a pound and there are . 38
more shopping days before Thanks
giving. Then, too, American soldiers have got
to have their turkey dinner, regardless.
So this huge inroad into the supply Is
going to have its effect on prices also.

It is not sufficient that today's
Liberty bond purchases shall exceed r
perhaps far exceed yesterday's total.
Each day must show what each previ
ous day should have shown, and an ex
cess to make up ' for TprevToua, days-'
deficiencies, besides.
