RACE RIOTS IN CHICAGO ENDED WITHj2 DEAD State Troops in Control in Black Belt End Disorder 300 Are Injured. (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Aug 1. With state troops in full control in the "black belt" of Chicago the rioting that terrorized that section for .four nights was pronounced by state and city officials "at an end" today. The total dead since the fight at the Twenty Ninth street bathing beach on Sunday the Inception of the race riot, which resulted in the drowning of a negro lad is 32 IS negroes and 14 whites. The total of the injured has not been officially tabulated but is known to be more than 300 and may exceed 500, as many slightly hurt went to their homes without reporting to the police. Adjutant General Dickson said today that the situation was well in hand and that while the embers of race hatred were doubtless still smouldering, he feared no further outbreak. However, field commanders of the 6.000 troops in the riot zone were under orders not to relax their vigilance and to "act promptly and decisively" at the first indication of l renewal of the outbreaks. During the night several calls were made for troops at points within the zone and in some instances shots were fired but quick responses to the summons led to suppression ofThe altercations. Gradually the disposing of the soldiers throughout the area led to it3
complete investment, the men being stationed in vacant buildings, halls and such other places as were available for housing of soldiers. The night developed no serious disorders. Negroes Issue Appeal Leading negro residents have started th work of reconstruction. A circular issued by them is being distributed. It reads: "Attention, law abiding ' citizens. The rioting Is over, so so back to work and help the police keep the situation in hand by not congregating on the streets. Avoid all inflammatory remarks. Obey the police orders." Suplies were taken into the riot area today. No fresh meat or vegetables have been on sale there for five days. In order that the babies might not suffer. City Controller Harding sent 2.000 bottles of milk into the district. With the incoming supplies and the presence of soldiers, the negroes began preparations to resume their Jobs at the stock yards and other points outside the city. Many Visit Scenes With the restoration of peace, numbers of curious persons sought to virit the scenes of the various outbreaks forae afoot, and others in automobiles. In every instance the soldiers directed them to depart "forthwith. "White folks barred" was the greeting curious persons met, and with which they were turned back unless they could prove that they had business in the sector. Negro undertakers prepared today to bury a large number of their dead, . as no funerals have been held in the disturbed district since last Sunday. "There will be no more liberty in Chicago for sailors from Great Lakes naval training station until all danger of race riots is ended is was announced today by Provost Marshall MacDuffle. He issued the order after he had received reports that several sailors had led a mob of whites during the disorders.

SUGAR SHORTAGE BECOMING ACUTE, GROCERS DECLARE
Shoes Will Be Higher Next Spring, Promise BOSTON, Mass., Aug. 1 Shoes sold next 6pring will bring even higher prices than those now prevailing, but
relief may be expected late in 1920, according to a statement Issued today by the National Boot and Shoe Manufacturers' association. The cause of high prices was said to be depletion of stocks under war-time conditions, the prosperity of the public and European buying.

TELEPHONE COMPANIES, IN PRIVATE HANDS ONCE MORE, ARE FACING TREMENDOUS TASK
Shortage of sugar here now Is almost as great as It was during the worst days of the yar, say local grocers. Prohibition, strikes, and the time of the year all contribute to the shortage. Restrictions on purchases have been placed by some local grocers. Grocers Interviewed Friday morning say any increase In the price of sugar is absolutely illigitlmate. However, housewives have no need for a scare because the shortage will be over in 30 days at the most, it is said. The shortage is due to a number of things. FirBt, it is the season of the year when the demand for sugar is great. Candy manufacturers are laying in their-eupply for winter candies, housewives are doing their can
ning, fruits especially which require i
a great amount of sugar. Restrictions have been lifted in the manufacture of syrups for ice cream, sodas, etc., and confectioners are again using the sugar in these that they were prohibited from using during the war. Then prohibition is adding to the shortage. As a substitute for liquor, fruits and candy are being used, say confectioners, and the demand for fruits and candy is appalling. So far as raw material is concerned there is no shortage, but it is very difficult to get bags for sugar. At the present time in the factories where 5, 10, and 25 pound bags are made, there are strikes which have lasted nine days, almost tying up the businesses. It has been necessary to ship in barrels, on which there was a big shortage during the war. Temporarily Eggemeyer's grocery has put a restriction on sales of ten pounds to each family. Eggemeyer stated Friday morning that he expects to be able to lift this restriction in 30 days, as soon as the strike troubles in the factories are adjusted, and the sugar embargo which was put on has taken some effect. Immediately after the armistice was signed there was no restriction on sugar exportations and the large quantities left the states. The present shortage could probably have been averted had limitations been placed immediately on exportations, he said.
Soldiers Brought Home Dip&eria, Kinsey Says Demobilized soldiers are one cause of the present number of diphtheria cases, according to Dr. J. H. Kinsey, city health officer. Dr. Kinsey bases his theory on the
fact that all the doctors who have returned from serving with the army, declare that a large number of the soldiers were diphtheria germ carriers, and upon being demobilized, carried the germs home. The adults in the fsmilies not being In good condition, soon contracted the disease. Dr. Kinsey urges the people not to congregate !n any large numbers, and he lays particular stress upon the fact that as soon as a person feels any of the symptoms of the disease, such as 6ore throat, he should be examined immediately. Extreme caution must be exercised ro that the children do not contract this disease for school will start within little over a month, and Dr. Kinsey hopes that the disease will be entirely stamped out by that time.
By W. M. BAILEY i After a year of Federal control, the telephone property is today returned to its owners by the United States government. While the property has been properly maintained it is not the same property which the government took over on August 1, 1918. It is not as adequate for its Job or as well manned as it was; that is in no way the fault of the Federal control. It is due to causes for which neither the government nor the companies are to blame. A year ago we were at war. Labor and material needed for both telephone operation and construction were turned to military uses. Some materials were so vital to the carrying on of the war that even the work of providing telephone facilities for the government was retarded, and no part of them could be spared for commercial telephone purposes. No less vital was the government's need for those sjcilled to create, maintain and operate the vast intercommunication systems necessary in modern warfare and in the conduct of the vastly increased government service. Thousands of telephone men were already at the battlefield. Thousands more were under arms, and still more telephone experts and skilled operators went into service of the government by the tens of thousands. Reserves Used Up The reserves of plant and equip
ment were drawn upon until they were entirely used up ,and the experienced staff was gradually depleted. To find others to take the place of those who had gone was difficult. To train them takes time. During the year came victory and the armistice, and instantly the business world sprang into intense activity. The demands for telephone service passed all former records. x To replace the exhausted reserves which had been carried for Just such purposes and to replace the skilled forces to meet this unprecedented emergency there began a rush for construction,
for readjustment, for high pressure repairs, for feverish extensions. All these must be continued with Increasing effort. The return of the property comes in the very midst of this race between an over-powering demand, and an upbuilding of a system whose growth was held back and whose forces were scattered by the vital needs of the war. Progress Is Made Much progress has been made in the upbuilding of this system, but far more is still required to meet the swift growth of business, and also to give "first aid" to every other business and every other service struggling against unprecedented demand. The prosperity which creates this emergency in service creates also a scarcity of thos.e desiring employment in the service. Under such conditions telephone service generally has not been and could not be up to the pre-war standard. It is beyond human power to overcome immediately the handicap which the situation imposes. There are no people in any public or private endeavor who are working more tirelessly or strenuously for the common good than those of the telephone companies. Service has always been given; more of it must be given and it must be improved. That improvement in some cases will take months. Eventually service must win the race with demand.

Horse Still King On . Farms, Says Dealer
That the tractor has not had much effect on the popularity of the horse in this part of the county as yet, is the opinion of a local horse dealer. One dealer says that the farms in Wayne county are too small for the present tractor and until there is a tractor on the market small and powerful enough and at the same time cheap enough to suit the pocket-book of the average farmer, the horse will be the chief 60urse of motive power on Wayne county farms. Farm Journals and other papers say that today there are ten per cent more horses in" the country than ever before. It will take quite a few years to displace him in the affection of Mr. Average Farmer, the dealers say. No Prospect Of Cheap
Shoes, Say Dealers Richmond shoe dealers who have received part of their fall stock of shoes say that they certainly have advanced in price. One dealer said that the better grade of women's and men's Bhoes are going to cost as high as 3 a pair more this fall than last fall. The best grade of shoes are hard to secure on the market and local dealers say that the best is the grade Richmond people demand, although the markets are full of the cheaper j "There is no prospect of shoes d predating in price." said one dealer, as long as labor is so expensive.
EIGHT MEN JOIN TOBACCO LEAGUE
Eight new members were added to the Preble county branch of the Miami Valey Tobacco Association, at its meeting Thursday night at the town hall in Eaton, according to J. Thompson, of Eaton R. R. No. 2, who was in Richmond Friday. The eight brought with them 162 cases of tobacco, making a total of almost 6,200 now held by the association, said Thompson. Arrangements were definitely made to take care of those growers who are not able to hold their crops, he said. Buyers were in the county, Friday, he said, offering 20 cents a pound for wrappers, but so far none had bought any.

Hot Tea and Frozen Cream Very Constipating THERE is little inclination for solid food on a hot day. Cold drink and ices, salads and pastry form much of the diet, especially among women. This lack of wholesome variety, however, interferes with proper digestion.
The mult is biliousness, listlessness. dizzy spells. The cause is constipation. The stomach could not digest not the bowels pass off the day's strange mixture of food and drink. A simple way of overcoming the trouble is this: If you have not already sot Or. Caldwell' Syrup Pepsin in the house, go to a drug store and buy a 50c or $1 bottle. Take a teespoonful tonight before you go to bed. It will act in the morning, and immediately thereafter your
head will be clear and that feeling of oppression will be gone. Syrup Pepsin is a combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin. It acts on the stomach-muscles training them to do their work naturally so that medicines can be dispensed with. It is the most widely used laxative compound in the world. That means merit. A free sample bottle can be had by sending your address to Dr. W. B. Caldwell. 480 Washington Sl, Monticello. I1L
