No Boycott on
Su«ar in Omaha
* o
Consumers Buying Less, How
ever, Say Grocers Who ^rc
Selling at Loss.
Omaha grocers differ on (he ques
^^®lion whether or not Omaha' house
wives are boycotting the sugar mar
ket.
And tho grocers are not worrying.
For they arc selling sugar at a loss.
Retail prices sre now from 10 to
12 cents a pound. Wholesale prices
are 10'^ to 11 cents a pound. When
cost of bags and string, handling, de
livery and wastage are figured in the
merchants say they lose on every
pound sold.
"There is a'general letup on sugar
buying,” said Richard Jepsen ot the
Jepsen Bros. . Buy-Rite store, 2502
Cuming street, "but it is nothing like
It was two years ago when prices of
sugar soared. Many people are not
particularly interested. A few cents
ft pound rise doesn't causo worry on
tho few pounds each family consumes
weekly.”
W. E, Haynes, local nianagor'of the
Piggly Wiggly stores, said his stores
have not noticed any real boycott,
though purchases are in small quanti
ties. He pointed out that while the
sugar is costing 10.78 cents a pound
wholesale, it is being sold at 9.7 cents
on special sale.
Ernest Buffett, 5021 Underwood
avenue, said women havewpiit buying
sugar by the bag and are buying ill
smaller quantities.
“There is no organized boycott.” lie
said, "but individually consumers aro
staying off the sugar market in hope
that prices will come down.”
Thomas Cooney, manager of Hay
den's grocery, said he has noticed
a slight decrease In sugar buying
in spite of the fact that the store
is selling at a loss.
A. 1. Kulakofsky, in charge of the
Central market, Sixteenth, north of
Dougins street, declared sugar will go
higher still.
“The canning season Is coming on,”
he said, “and then people will have
to buy In quantity. With this in view
[ think higher prices are sure tp come,
though at present we are selling under
the wholesale market.”
Little stores report the same. The
One Horse store, 2851 Grant street,
is selling sugar at 12 cents, or nine
pounds for $1, and reports a marked
falling off in the amount sold re
cently.

rOur Children
By ANGELO PATH!.
For Whom?
i Soma children ha^ the notion that
whenever they do something they
have been told to do that they are
obliging somebody tremendously;
generally the person who took the
trouble to direct them.
"Why are you late. Conrad”’
"My mother wanted me to put on
my rubbers for her, so I did, and
it kept me late.”
Later on the teacher says: “You
are weak in your table of fours. Bet
ter write it a couple of times to
night and I'll hear it as soon as you
come In the morning."
Conrad goes home in a very sulky
mood. “She wants me to write that
old table! Just on her account I've
got to write and write! I did the old
thing in class for her and that ought
to lie enough. She wants too much!”
“For teacher.” "For mother.”
‘it never dawns upon him that It
is entirely for himself. Of course,
we cannot expect the child to rea
lize the benefit of the training he is
receiving or to appreciate it at any
thing like its value, but he can be
given a point of view a bit nearer
the truth than the one that makes
him consider himself a public bene
factor every time he takes up his lead
pencil.
'-When he needs his rubbers he
should he told to put them on but
his mother should not say: "Put on
your rubbers for mother," nor should
a teacher say. "now study your ta
ble for Miss Ann." ,•
He needs to know that he wears
rubbers for himself and that lie stud
ies his lesson for the same person
and that those who help him are
conferring the favor, not receiving
It.
It is very easy to teach a child
that the whole world waits upon him.
All you have to do is to say a few
things like: “Oonie along now like
a good little girl and Wd me curl your
hair. I like your hair curled. Stand
I still for mother! Look pretty for
mother. Study your lesson for tin
teacher. Tgike your medicine for the
doctor. Eat your dinner for nurse—"
and the thing i« done.
Then Jtou have an unpleasant,
grouchy child on your hands who de
mands a bribe before doing the com
mon ordinary things that every
healthy, worthwhile child In the
country does as a matter of course.
Curing him is a much more difficult
matter than spoiling him.
He carries his notion of his person
al Importance Into every interest that
touches him and because nobody
agrees with It really, he finds every
man's hands against him.
He believes that everybody who
doesn't accept him at his own value
