SUGAR FAMINE
NOW UPON ERE
UNITED STATES
CHICAGO, Oct. 22. — Upon instructions from Food
Administrator Hoover, the United States authorities here
have sent word to the middle west States and those on the
Pacific Coast, a warning that a sugar famine is now upon
the country. “The moment of America’s first self-denial
in food has arrived” was the message sent here by Con
troller Hoover. It is understood that Saturday the same
warning was issued in the Atlantic Coast States. The
United States government, through its many agents, have
followed up Hoover’s warning with the message to the
American people that the time has arrived for a strict
conservation of sugar, the first general shortage in a com
modity which has occurred.
WAR TAX ON
JEWELRY IS
THE LATEST
Jewelry is now being taxed and
while all kinds have not been sub
jected to the war tax, as yet, perhaps
the next steamers will bring added in
ci cases on other commodities. Xow is
the time to buy for Christmas pres-!
ents or other gifts before the full
force of the war tax is felt.
In the last mail, C. E. Orlander re
ceived his official notice that jewelry
would be taxed «*» per cent. Th«s tax
so far has not covered watches ciga
rette cases, diamonds and several
other items, but stick pins, rings, ami
the smaller articles are taxed. Mr.‘
Orlander is busy making out his stau
%
meats and rearranging his prices.
