Sugar Shortage Seen From High U S Consumption
Sugar scarcity in New Ulm and the Northwest is blamed on a surge in U S consumption through July 1919, with 326000 tons more used than last year. Beet sugar use rose to 466000 tons as exports to Europe increased to 411000 tons, while an almost empty invisible supply worsened demand amid strikes and shipping delays. Local distributors warn the shortage may ease by October 10 as the Sugar Equalization Board distributes California beet sugar and brokers manage the flow.

Protests Over Gov Burnquist Veto Ended Narrowly
A Minnesota special session ended after a veto by Governor Burnquist on the Bendixen tonnage tax bill triggered uproar in the House. Senator Johnson of California spoke, but the session closed with the Senate voting to adjourn 32 to 31 and the House 83 to 16 to remain in session. Burnquist defended his position, saying the tonnage tax unfairly targets one region and he does not support its passage.

New Ulm Visited by Motor Trucks Caravan
A caravan of 18 motor trucks visited New Ulm on Monday morning to showcase trucking for farmers. The lineup on Minnesota Street featured a 25 member naval band led by Moraveck and Hofmeister's band. A. R. Kroh explained the tour's aim to prove trucks haul cheaper and faster than horse drawn vehicles, with demonstrations limited by missed farmer turnout.
