Increased . inflated prices of cig: some charge—have driven thousands of cigar smokers back to the pipe. And pipe smokers know that there is none so sweet as the Missouri meerschaum. \ It, for decades, has been the fisherman’s stand- by, and the hunter’s and the outdoorman’s in gen eril. The briar, ‘the meerschaum, and pipes of various clays and woods have their following. But any of these devotees are glad, once in a while, to pick up one of Mark Twain’s favorite bowls, load her up to the top, and pull for the shore. The corncob pipe is cheap in price, but is worth a potentate’s pocket when it comes to solid com fort. Watch the corncob pipes go by. It will be a new thing in American politics if a general who didn’t get a chance to become famous reaps the fruits of victory. PORTA’S PREDICTIONS Professor Porta, an Italian scientist, resident in San Francisco, has predicted that the latter part of December is to witness some terrible storms on this earth because a half a dozen stars are going to range themselves in a space covered by 26 de- grees of the firmament. “Attraction” is Porta’s idea of the cause of the storms. In other words, the attraction of these stars on the sun will be so great, in his opinion, as to “draw” huge spots, to the surface of old Sol. On the further theory that sun spots cause the big storms on our earth, some tall and lofty! exhibitions of wind, rain and snow are due, according to Porta. Some people think Professor Porta is more of an astrologer than a scientist and astrology has been pretty well knocked in the head during the past | One of the tasks set by the Townley-Lemke- century. ‘kaiser. ports abroad. And sugar may cost you 35 cents a pound after January 1 if YOU PERMIT con- gress to bury the sugar equalization board. It is up to you to sce to it that your congress retains in the government’s hand full control over sugar prices. This will be done if congress pagses the McNary bill. And that is the ONLY way, too. Write and tell the congressman from your dis- trict, the senators from your state, that you want them to keep the sugar equalization board in ex istence for another year at least. What doth it profit a country to gain the world’s gold and loaf while spending it? SHOPPING ‘A PLEASURE It’s trite, “Shop early,” but there’s sound sense behind it. Here we are in December. And Christ- mas not so many shopping days distant. Shop now, and get the pick of the merchants’ stocks. Shop now and avoid the jams of later days., Shop now and get the “short” price that a last minute demand may cause to rise. Deliveries now are certainly better and surer than when the rush comes. And try early morning shopping. Clerks then are not tired. Goods have not then been “picked over.” There’s bound to be a better understand- ing between buyer and agent for the seller. Optimism prevails on both sides. Make your shop- ping a day’s adventure. Get something besides bargains out of it. And—have a heart for the clerks. They are real people, not automatons. They have feelings, and aims and ambitions—family troubles possibly that make tears come to their eyes while there may be smiles on their lips. And—they may have corns. Let's all be cheerful. And be early. kind, in our Christmas shopping.

Gentlemen: At the county convention of the La Moure County Units of the Independ- ent Voters Association held in this City on December 10th, the enclosel resolutions were adopted and the Secretary ordered to forward a copy of Mills trinity for the legislature was to “get” At- We have yet to hear of a real scientist who; supports Porta in his predictions. The world has" at least five first class weather bureaus—those of the United States, England, France, Italy and Japan. In these bureaus are thousands of ex- perienced, learned meteorological scientists. None of them has yet accepted the theory that sun spots cause storms, not to speak of the much more remote theory that “conjunctions” and “opposi- tions” of stars pull spots to the sun’s surface. In- deed, the weather scientisist call attention to the fact that SEVERAL TIMES THIS YEAR there have been neighborhood gatherings of stars with- out any unusual storms. Professor Porta predicted “wild wind storms” forthe month of October. The truth is that Oc- tober, 1919, was about the calmest October, gen- ‘erally, in many a year. Lenine’s. theories are sound, but unfortunately the whistle isn’t what makes the engine go. There must be something more than sound. THAT SUGAR SHORTAGE There is no sugar shortage in the United States, other than that purposely and illegally manufac- tured by! the sugar gamblers. This year’s sugar beet crop exceeded that of 1918 by 20 per cent. The 1919 sugar beet yield was the largest this country ever harvested. It totaled 7,298 tons. The annual average for the ten years preceding the war was 5,391 tons. Sor- ghum syrup produced this year was more than 10 per cent greater than the 1918 crop. It was 250 per cent greater than in 1916—when sugar was sold at 10 cents.a pound. Phey tell us that our sugar shortage is due to enormous exporting of refined sugar to “feed | starving Europe.” But the fact is that it was 500,000,000 pounds less for the 1919 fiscal year than for 1916. These facts do not seem to fit in well with the sugar speculators’ stories of sugar shortage, do they? “No, the real shortage facts are these: 1. Sugar speculators have cornered the supply. 2. The equalization board goes out of business January 1. ~ 3. When the equalization board dies sugar peculators can charge what they will for the » suga®they are hoarding, . - That is why sugar now costs three times as much as it did before the war, twice as much as . it did when we were sending our largest sugar ex- torney General Langer, Auditor Kositzky and Sec- retary of State Hall, each and all of whom had dared to challenge the wisdom and good faith of ; the league pilots and to attack certain things that _ had been done or had been left undone by servitors in carrying out the will of the masters. | A rather effective job of “getting” has been done.
