SUGAR DEALERS

and
Tfiat no material relief from the
sugar shortage in Omaha and vi-
cifiity can be expected before the
firit of October is the general
pinion of Omaha's largest sugar
t dealers, both wholesale and retail.
5 It is also the belief of two of the
'-largest wholesale dealers that the
situation will beccme even more
acute before relief is secured.
So serious has the situation be-
epffle that Charles If. Pickens, presi
dent of the Paxton & Gallagher
Company, will leave for New York
and Washington Monday in an ef
fort to persuade the sugar equaliza
tion board to divert sugar shipments
tp'this territory.
Blame Railroad Strike.
,It is impossible for jobbers to
place orders with refineries, accord-
iug'to Mr. Pickens, who gives a
number of reasons for the prevail
ing shortage. Among these are the
railroad strike in California, which
temporarily tied up shipments of
Cahfornia beet sugar, which should
now be on the market here.
' 3Jr. Pickens denies that the Pax-ton-&
Gallagher company has any
suf&r in storage at the present time.
ye have had no sugar stored
swSe last October." he declared.
"JPf. W. Cavanaugli, sugar buyer for
thc Courtney retail store, said he
expected no relief in the sugar fam
- ine before the first of October. The.
Courtney store has no sugur in stock
at the present time.
Still Sell Sugar
Manager King of the Hayden
5 Brothers store, takes a more opti
5 misjic view of the situation. This
J weec will be the most critical as far
as the shortage is concerned, he said.

j coraing 10 ;ir. rvinu. aim inc snua-
tion will be relieved. The Hayden
Brothers store is still selling 25 cents
f worth of sugar to each customer.
Hanson & Co., having a represen-
tative suburban grocery store at
Twenty-fourth and Woolworth ave-
nue, which has been out of sugar for
the- past 10 days, secured three
sacks from the McCord-Brady com-
party yesterday. It was all bought
by .regular customers before the day
was over, however.
H. G. Hoel, manager of the Mc
J Cord-Brady company, explained that
'2 one small car of sugar was received
m Friday from California and imme-
diately distributed to customers.
whose orders had been placed thJ
longest. We will receive a car
from time to time, said Mr. Hoel
and make it go as far as possible.
I ' Hurts Fruit Sales.
iHobbs & Kenny, operating one
of the few grocery stores in the
Kountze Place residence district,
which has managed to supply its
customers with small quantities of
sugar during the shortage, has one
sack left to begin the week with
and no prospect of getting more,
according to the manager.
As a result of the shortage fruit
dealers state that the demand for
canning fruit now coming on the
market in large quantities is lack
ing, and that they are in the way of
suffering severe financial losses.
The fruit marketing committee of
(ltic Chamber of Commerce is ex
pected to take further action on the
matter this week. .
.In the meantime, the housewife
is advised that fruit can be canned
"temporarily" with a very small
quantity of sugar, and then reboiled
when more sugar arrives on the
( market.
"Father" Rice to
Celebrate Soon
100th Birthday
Elaborate preparations are being
made to celebrate the centennial
anniversary of the 'birth of Rev. G.
G. Rice, founder of the First Con
gregational church in Council
Bluffs 66 years ago, and also the
first church of that denomination
in Omaha a few years later.
'"Father" Rice, as he is lovingly
called, has been a continuous resi
dent of Council 15 lulls since 1651,
and is the oldest clergyman in the
middle west. He will reach the cen
tury mile stone on his long trip
from the . cradle to the grave on
September 22. He was born at
Enosberg, Vt, September 22, 1819,
graduated at the Vermont university
in . 1845, was ordained clergyman
in 4ht Presbyterian church in 1849,
and cams to Council Bluffs in the
spring of 1851. He had then en
tered the Congregational ministry
and in 1853 established the First
Congregational church, now one of
the strongest religious organiza
tions in Council Bluffs.
"Father" Rice is enjoying the best
of health, mentally as well as physi
cally. He has led an intensely ac
tive life. During the early days of
his ministry here he did all the work
on a 40-aere farm and established
the Rice nursery and fruit farm. He
isnot an extremist in anything, al
though he quit the use of tobacco
at; the close of his college days. He
has ten great-grandchildren and
many grandchildren who will join
his three living children in helping
hurt observe his 100th natal anni
versary. His children are Mrs. D.
W. Otis, with whom he lives at the
old homestead on Woodbury avenue;
Mrs. A. B. Walker, Council Bluffs,
arid George D. Rice, 1321 South
Thirty-fifth street, Omaha.

Washington, Sept 6. The State
department received a dispatch from
the embassy at Mexico City Satur
day announcing that the Mexicans

property stolen from the sailors was
recovered.

Denver and Omaha to
Have Army Food Stores
Operated From Here
Col. G. S. Bingham, in charge of
the Omaha zone surplus army sup
ply office, yesterday received a tele
gram from Mayor D. C. Bailey, Den
ver, Colo., granting him space in the
Denver auditorium for an army
store there. He also received a tele
gram from Washington, D. C, stat
ing that supplies for the Omaha and
Denver army stores would be ship
ped immediately.
Everything Is favorable for the
opening- of the Omaha army store
by September 25, according to Colo
nel Bingham, provided the city
council decides to let him use the
basement of the Auditorium. Mayor
Smith promised him a written per
mit to use the Auditorium basement
several days ago, but he has not re
ceived it yet, he says.
"Commisisoner Ure told me that
he would see that I got the Audito
rium," said Colonel Bingham. "He
also mentioned the plan for allow
ing farmers to sell their produce
there. I am in favor of this plan,
or any other plan which will aid the
people, but the army store must be
entirely separate from the farmer's
produce department."
Highwaymen Stage
Another Bold Holdup
Near Police Station
John Mista of O'Neill, Neb., was
held up Friday night at Ninth and
Douglas streets, by two men who
stole his watch and a trnnk check.
This was the second highway rob
bery near central police station dur
ing the last few days.
Paul Bernard, 2151 Farnam street,
reported to the police that he was
assaulted and robbed Friday night at
Twenty-third and Martha streets by
a lone negro highwayman.
Bernard stated that the negro was
unmasked and tall, and he observed
a long scar on the right side of his
face. The victim of the holdup suf
fered a head wound and lost $42.50
and a watch. He staggered to a
nearby home and reported the case
to the police.
