26. The August term of the Adams county court began yesterday with a large list of criminal cases on the list. Thirty five cases, the largest for some time, have been returned for trial. In the whole list there is nothing of any importance. It is likely a number of them will be settled outside of court, so that the list will be considerably shortened and the court will not last many days.

It was expected that the petition of the liquor dealers who ask that a part of their, license money be returned to them for the time they were compelled to close under Government orders would be heard thi3 time, but this matter will be heard at a special argument court on September 15. Since the date for the hearing has been set it has been stated war time prohibition would in all probability be lifted by President Wilson on October 1. This likely will have a bearing on the situation at the time of argument. Liquor dealers in Adams county are making an effort to have refunded a proportionate share of their license money, depending upon the time they will be closed. They claim it is not fair to charge them for the entire year when they have in reality sold but a portion of the time.

Part of this refund, provided the liquor men win their case, will come from the State and the Attorney General's office, which is interesting itself in the matter, was represented by Guy W. Davies when the order setting the time for September 15 was made. Two Lewistown Men Who Raise Big Tomatoes Lewistown, Aug. 26.

26. Many merchants here are entirely out of sugar. Those who have a small supply are limiting sales to one or two pounds to each customer. The wholesale dealers say their supply is exhausted and that they have had no reserve stock of the commodity for four weeks. With the canning and preserving season on, the lack of sugar is quite serious, as many of the housewives have had no warning and were unable to lay in a supply to tiae mem over tne period of shortage.

It is expected the situation will be relieved by the end of the week, as shipments have been promised from the refineries. It is said one of the causes for the shortage here is the fact that people have been motoring here from Waynesboro and other nearby towns where the supply of sugar was low and making purchases from merchants in twenty pound lots. When this was discovered the storekeepers refused to sell to motorists, but it was too late. Disinters Body Buried at Neff's Mills 17 Years Huntingdon, Aug. 26.
