ARE DESTROYING
VEGETABLES To
MAKE HIGH PRICES

Chicago, Nov. 2S.-Information to
support rumors that produce dealers
are permitting fruits and vegetables
to rot in the fields in order to cause
a shortage and increase prices came
to the government officials who are in
vestigating the causes of the present
high price of food.
B. L. Brundage, a farmer of Gary,
Ind, reported that he had sold his
crop of seven acres of pumpkins for
cash. When the crop ripened and
the pumpkins were allowed to rot in
the field, he tried to find the buyer
and learned that the name and adj
dress he had given were fictitious.
Similar Conditions
That similar conditions prevail else
where and that spectators are buy
ing potatoes, cucumbers, cabbages,
pumpkins, apples and other fruits and
vegetables and allowing them to rot
unpicked have been rumored in the
federal Investigation from time to
time.
Complaint also was received that a
combination to raise the price Of
beans exists and that large quantities
of them, both in bulk and in can, are
being held in Norfolk, Va, Philadel-
phia and Saginaw, Mich. The storing
Of these beans, according to the report
to the federal bureau, has increased
the cost of canned beans 60 per cent
and dry beans 40 per cent in the last
six months.
Destruction of Potatoes
An agent was sent to Peoria, ILL.,, to
Investigate report that twenty-eight
carloads of potatoes had been dumped
into the river there. If it developed
that the potatoes had been condemned
by health authorities, the agent was
instructed to learn how long they had
been held in cars.

GERMANY ADMITS
VIOLATION OF PLEDGE
IN SINKING MARINA

Washington, Nov. 28.-A closely
guarded wireless message from Ber-
lin to Count Won Bernstorff, German
ambassador to the United States, was
received this afternoon at the German
embassy here. 1t is reported to con-
tain an admission by the German gov
ernment that the sinking of the steam
ship Marina was in violation of the
pledges given by Germany to the I'm
tied States in the matter of her con-
duct of submarine warfare. 1t is un-
derstood that Germany makes offer of
full reparation for the mistake of the
submarine commander"
Ambassador Won Bernstorff refused
to disclose the contents of the mes
sage or to comment upon it, but ad-
mitted that he "may present import
ant papers to the United States state
department tomorrow"
The British steamer Marina was
sunk by a German submarine in Octo-
ber, with 81 American horse-tenders
aboard, of whom six were drowned. 1t
was said at first that she struck a
mine. The Marina was armed.

From the time of the landing of the
Pilgrim Fathers, Americans have
been accustomed to set aside one day
in the year wherein to review the past
year and take stock of the dealings
of Providence with us as people.
What was at first the spontaneous
expression of grateful hearts soon be-
came custom, and as the years sped
this custom became fixed, until today
it assumes the sacredness of perma-

This season is again with us. The
fruits of the broad acres of our fair
domain have been garnered in. The
warehouses and graneries are fairly
bursting with their contents and pros
perity sets guest at almost every

Our president and the governors of

COUNTY BOARD
TO CALL ELECTION
FOR COUNTY SEAT
Peremptory Writ of Mandamus D;-
rects Commissioners to Grant Petit
ton for Election to Decide Perma-
nent Location.

This morning Judge o. K. Reaves
issued peremptory writ in the case
of M. P. Miller, ct al VS.. the county
commissioners, andethe same was filed
in the county clerks office.
The courts order is that the board
of county commissioners shall cali an
election for the purpose of choosing
and locating permanent county seat
for Pinellas county.
1t will be remembered that some
time ago there was presented to the
commissioners petition signed by
several hundred voters, asking that an
election be called for this purpose.
The commissioners took no notice of
the petition, maintaining that Clear
water was the legal county seat and
that the petition was not entitled to
consideration. The petitioners claim
ed that the location of the county seat
at Clearwater was intended to be only
temporary, and that no election had
ever been held to decide upon per-
manent location. There were 500
names signed to the petition which
was presented to the commissioners,
more than one-third of the qualified
voters, as required by law before such
petition should be considered a. true
request.
| Upon refusal to take notice of the
Ipetition the commissioners were man
aamusede to appear on June 90 last,
and show cause why they refused TO
call county seat election. Accord
ingly the commissioners, through their
attorney, J. S. Davis, filed answer 70
the mandamus. The answer proved
insufficient, and the courts order to-
day was the result.
The peremptory writ is one Of some
length, and concludes as follows:
"And it appearing to the court that
the REALTORS are entitled to the relief

motion for peremptory writ of man.

said cause.
"These presents are therefore to
command you, Jno. S. Taylor, C. E.

Stahl and D. Byrd McMullen, as and
constituting the board of county COM
missioners of Pinellas county, Fla,
and each of you, that you forthwith,
and not later than the next regular
meeting of your board, do assemble as
a board of county commissioners Of
said county and receive said petition

same and call an election for the pur-
pose of choosing and locating the per-
manent county site of said county, and
that said election be called and held as
required by law and under the sta
