UNFAIR VORK OF
SUGAR DEALERS
Fair Price Head for Nebraska
Launches Campaign Against
Practices of Retail Grocers
in City and State.
Another blow af the high cost of
living, especially directed at alleged
unfair practices on the part. of some
retail grocers in the city and state
in the sale of sugar, was aimed yes-'
terday by Mrs. C. G. Ryan, Ne
braska federal fair price commis
sioner, when she called a meeting
of representative Omaha wholesale
jobbers at the Hotel Fontenelle to
discuss the prevailing sugar short
age and high prices.
To Equalize Prices.
In addition to representatives of
wholesale concerns in Omaha and
Iowa, the meeting was attended by
H. G. Larrimer, federal fair price
commissioner for Iowa, and three
investigators of the local department
of justice, who are co-operating with
Mrs. Kyan in carrying on the gov
ernment campaign to reduce prices.
The purpose of the meeting, it
was said, was to arrive t a plan to
equalize the price of sugar sold to
the consumer on the basis of the
rnnfrarf rt-ir roVior tViarl flint nt
. :i: 1.-1 t :
nic prevailing mantel. nivcsiigrt-
tions of the department of justice, it
was said, had indicated that many
dealers were taking advantage of the
public in buying a a low price and
retailing at a high price without
equalization.
Appoint Committee.
Following a lengthy discussion of
prices affecting the wholesaler
through a restricted and fluctuating
market in sugar, a committee of
five wholesale grocers, with Charles
Pickens of the Paxton & Gallaghar
Co., wav selected- to offer a report
on a plan for the equalization of
prices by. the conditions of which
all wholesalers "agreed to abide.
Other members of the committee
are: Bert, Howe. of the McCord
Brady Co., OmahaA. C. Lau of
Lincoln? J. Donold of Grand Island,
and H. W. Abpt of Columbus.
The report of the committee,,
which convened immediately after
the. meeting, was not made public
pending a -ruling on certain of its
provisions, which Mrs. Ryan ex
pects to get within afFw days.
A still farther shortage of sugar
now more prevalent in the cast than
the west, which might seriously af
fect spring preservation of fruits,
was predicted by H. G. Larrimer,
unless present conditions are re
lieved. Switzerland, it has been estimated,
could produce almost 8.000,000
horsepower electrically by harness
' ing its waterfalls.

Just One Application
and the Hair Vanish
(Toilet Talks)
Any woman can keep her skin '
free from unsightly hair or fuzz if
she will follow these simple instruc
tions: When hairy growths appear
apply a simple paste, made by mix
ing some water with powdered dela
tone. Apply this to hairy surface
and after 2 or 3 minutes rub off,
wash the skin and the hairs are gone.
This is a harmless treatment, but
be sure you get the real delatone.
