Hoover ReVOkeS
Dealers License

Under the powers conferred by the
Food Control Act, the United States
Food Administration has given a
definite answer to the wholesale
handlers of the food stuffs who have
been in the habit of unjustifably re-
fusing shipments consigned to them,
thereby being responsible for a great
waste of food. The form of the ans
wer has been the revocation of the
license of Morris Singer & Co., in
Washington, for the reason that they
rejected two carloads of potatoes
consigned to them and permitted
them to deteriorate.
The dealers thus penalized will not
be permitted to handle for sale any
foodstuffs subject to license after
Dec. 8, and they have been warned
that any violation of this prohibition
will make them liable to a fine not
exceeding $4,000 or two years. i'm
prisonment, or both, as provided in
the recent ruling.
The present instance is the first
were the Food Administration has
found it necessary to use it's power
to revoke licenses, and the case may
be considered as warning to other
dealers. The unjustifable refusal of
shipments on the part of the con-
signees has been for many years a
problem of the perishable branches
of the food business.
1t has been common practice for
a dealer to order a consignment from
a shipper or farmer and if, when the
shipment arrived, the market for the
product had declined, the consignee

Mary, the mother of Christ, through
a veil of tears, thought she saw her
son crucifed. But by following a
rainbow after the mist had cleared
she saw her son not crucifed, but a
"Savior Glorifed."
Before concluding I will add that
the committee decided that the boys
being already furnished with sweat
ers, the money should be expended
for smaller necessities, and according
ly soldier kits, safety razors, fountain
pens, flash lights, ETC., were purchased
and sent to the camp. We have COM
pleted our labors and the articles are
now in the possession of the boys in
camp.

better morality, Christianity and a

A VISIT TO CAMP SHERMAN

On Nov. 29th Thanksgiving
Branch No. "a of the Glass Bottle
Blowers Association gave dance to
procure sweaters for our boys serv-
ing our country. We cleared about
$1O6. After negotiating with business
men of Newark handling such goods
the committee learned that the Red
Cross had supplied about Is per cent
of these boys with sweaters and that
relatives had supplied the remainder.
Our government also issued orders
that no more bulky material be ac-
cepted by our boys. The committee
wished to use this money to good ad-
vantage, and not knowing their wants
VIM. Deininger and / were selected
to go to Camp Sherman and find out,
also see if any had been transferred
and learn their addresses.
We arrived at Camp about 11:45 a.
m., Dec. 18th. From Chillicothe we
had to take a jitney to the grounds.
Two officers were fellow passengers,
and neither uttered sound during
the Journey. Each seemed to be in
deep meditation. Grounds resemble
a young city in the west or ancient
gold fields, with population of 49,
OOO. In every direction you could see
boys in khaki. We arrived at the
dinner hour. Our friends supplied
us with eating utensils of enameled
ware. We lined up, and in passing
the lunch table each fellow reached
out his vessel and it was filled. The
menu consisted of beans, spuds, corn,
coffee and wheat bread. After lunch
we assembled at the wash room and
each fellow washed his dishes. We
then retired to bunk room where
some grouped off in card games.
some played solitaire, others read
letters from home. Still others lay
on hunks in deep meditation and
puffed smoke from pipe or cigarette.
At one o'clock bugle sounded for
duty. After roll call they went on
their hike for one hour, after which
they had what they term as school.
This consists of flag signals and me-
-thods of war. Each man carries his
gas mask and no time is he allowed
to be without it. Their school con-
tinued till 4:1O p. m. They then

would take advantage of the situa-
ton to reject it, thus placing the
shipper at tremendous disadvantage.
The shippers choice was to go to
the endless bother of a law suit, with
the difficulty Of obtaining proper wit
nesses and taking the chances on a
local jury, or to make compromise
with the consignee, always to the lat
ter's advantage. A further result of
this procedure has been congestions
in the railroad yards and delay in car
movements. Those interested look to
the Food Administrator to put an
end to this practice under the licens-
ing system and by the powers con-
ferred upon it by the Food Control
Act which provides against waste Of
foodstuffs.
