THE FOLLOWING editorial from
the Evening Journal will be interest
ing as matter of information as to
how the United States Government
can accomplish its purposes to con-
troll prices for food. This will apply
to coal dealers as we'll as grocers and
other spectators, and the editorial
follows: Under the food act Her
bert c. Hoover can control by the IL
cense system the great producers and
wholesalers of food. His control ov-
er the retail trade is limited. Feel
ing safe, the grocer has been espe-
cially defiant of Hoovers admoni-
tions. For instance, not long ago,
the food administrator mentioned a
fair price per pound for sugar He
said no grocer could in reason ask
more and no purchaser ought to pay
more. The net result in many cases
was-exactly nothing. The grocers
charged exactly what they pleased.
If the would-be consumer did not
like it he could lump it, but not with
lump sugar or any other kind Of sug-
ar. Now, of course. what the retail
er is doing is merely to prepare great
chunks Of trouble for himself-a
storm that will sweep him off his feet.
An angry people will simply over
whelm Congress with appeals to
amend the food control bill and Con
gress, reluctant as it may be, will
have to give heed-despite all the Jim
Reeds and other Hoover opponents.
The main result of their penny-wise
pound-foolish policy would. therefore.
be to force the license system upon
every retailer in tine land. What would
this mean? 1t would mean that
Hoover could control the prices OF
food from the time it left the produc-
er until it reached the consumers
market basket. A price would be
liked, for instance, at which the re-
ailer would have to sell sugar. If he |
his license would be revoked
md he could no longer procure sugar.
)r the law might even be made so
lrastic that his power to buy any
oods would be taken from him. In
Milford chronicle., 1917-11-02

the meantime, however, here is an
other word to the grocer; even as the
law stands. Hoover has the power to
license retailers who do 100000
worth of business per annum, and is
going to license them November 1st.
This means he can license a number
of great chain grocery organizations.
If these chain stores are compelled to
sell food at a certain price. every lit
tie independent retailer will have to
follow suit or fail. Verify. it looks
as if the food profteers are going to
travel over rough seas.

DELAWARE has again covered her
self with honor by having oversub-
scribed the second Liberty Loan,
which was apportioned as her share.
Nearly sixty millions of the bonds
were taken by the people of Della
ware. While this is a record to be
proud of, yet there is a fact which we
must not lose sight of, and that fact
is, that there will be another, and
probably other bond issues to be tax
en- care of before the war with Ger
many is at an end. There will have
10 be an organized effort for future
bond sales, and it would be well that
lists should be made of each buyer of
ponds in the first and second liberty
,ond sales. These lists will be of
,reat aid in the sale of other bond
ssues, and save great labor and time
n effecting the campaign. We hope |
o see the farmers aroused to the i'm
ortance of owning liberty bonds.
hey are in need of considerable en-
ghtment on this subject.

My Dear Sir:
My character and the letter you
published for me on the 18th inst,
have both been assailed in an article
appearing in your paper on the 26th
inst, under the signature of Daniel
R. Baker. Chief of Police.
Anything / can write is only a re-
petition of what l have already said
In my letter of the 18th l gave YOU
as complete and truthful a statement
of what occurred to me on the 5th
as it was possible for me to write.
This statement l am willing to
make affidavit to, together with the
fact that / neither abused nor resist
ed your officer nor acted in ungentle-
manly towards him. This brings
the matter to a focus. One Of two
things is true: either your Chief of
Police has told that which is abso-
lutely false, or I haves
Now, 1t is up to those citizens who
witnessed and heard the affair { am
aware that two people can hear or |
see the same thing and differ in their |
opinion, but no one can hear abuse /
when it is not uttered or see resist
ance and ungentlemanly conduct
when it does not occur 1t is up to
you and your paper, who stand for
right, truth and justice. It's up to
the citizens of Milford, who are re-
spOnsible for the official acts and the
deeds of their officers, the citizens
who stand for common courtesy, pro-
per conduct and consideration being
to all people and who will
not tolerate autocratic action on the
part of their officers.
1t seems to me, that in considera-
ion of the fact. that my offense be-
ng minor one (neither life, prop {
erty, morals or health of the citizens
II your town being endangered) l !
vas due the courtesy, regard and :
surrounding the Of :

ether with the threat with which he /

LIKE AN electric shock the news
that Governor Townsend had narrow
ly escaped death, and that his wife
was almost instantly killed, swept
over the State of Delaware last Sun
day morning, and those who were in
position to know the particulars
were beseiged with telephone calls
which were not merely curious in
quiry. but breathed fervant thanks to
God that Governor Townsend had es-
capped death and serious injury, and
expressed deep sorrow at the terrible
death of his beloved wife. The ten
der sympathy of the people will be
a comfort to the stricken husband,
but the terrible lonliness of his home
will long linger to sadden the life of
one of the most lovable of men. In
their home life they had nearly reach
ed that period when the husband and
wife have grown into the most tender
and loving in their consideration for
each other. AS the children were
growing to young man and woman
hood, the sacred fires of the home life
were drawing them closer as the
years went by, and soon, when the
peaks of life's activities are reached, |
they were ready to pass down the
pleasant lines of a well spent life into
he after glow of happiness in the en-
oyment of their new companionship,
along with the great host of friends
With whom they had surrounded
themselves. Fortunately Governor
Townsend has loving children to care
or and be cared for by them, and let
is hope that the terrible sorrow may
n a measure be made less unbearable
through these and the many activities
# his active life.

Philadelphia while the Mexican was in
the smoker. These trivial details Scar
borough would have taken his oath to;
for to recall with exactness anything he
had once noted was a valuable part of
his stock in trade. And Immediately.
from force of habit, he began mentally
to size up his companion, point by point,
as if for future reference-though that
he should ever have need of it did not
occur to him.

Eyes, blue-clear and frank. Complex

A waiter now arrived with a plate of
soup, and the favorite of the gods shifted
his magazine to make room for it-with-
out, however, removing his eyes from the
printed page. The soup looking appetiz-
ing, Scarborough ordered some, and was
already in the act of consuming it before
his neighbor gave evidence of being con-

scious that his own stood untasted before
him. Flattening one hand upon the maga-
zine to hold it open, he began to feed
himself with the other, absently, between
paragraphs. But the reading soon mo-
nopolized his attention again, and the soup
plate was presently removed only half
empty.
WONDERING idly what literary prod
uct could have the power to distract
the interest of husky young male from
his food, Tim leaned forward little and
spelled out, in the inverted letters at the
top of the page: "Her Other Self and

very story. And he had found it inter-

absorbing as this chap seemed to.
The reading came to an end, finally,
with the arrival of various dishes that
crowded the magazine from the table.
and the reader reluctantly closed the
book.
Hard to quit, isn't it?" Tim said. in
the soft drawl he had brought up from
the South ten years earlier, and which
made him seem just the easy-going, slug

The blue eyes of his companion wi

THE OTHER BROWN

T was sheer luck-so Tim Scarborough
himself says-that led to his curl
ously fateful discussion of dual per-
sonality with total stranger. 1t
CHANGED that the latter was reading a
magazine story based on dissertation
of personality, very striking story that
Scarborough happened to have read, and
he had seized upon it as means of start
ing conversation, nothing more And
he had begun to talk for no other reason
than that he found it unbearable to eat
with human being and behave as if
they were animals feeding at trough
He had barely glanced at his table
companion as he dropped hastily into his
seat-hastily because the conductor of
the dining-car was waving him toward
seat farther on, the one opposite Valen-
tin Gil; and Tim had an excellent reason
for not wishing to dine face to face with
that particular person. The reason was
simple: he did not wish Gil to remember
him if they should ever meet.
True, Scarborough's appearance, as he
well knew, was of the nondescript kind
not easily impressed on the memory.
Rather short rather thin, sandy-haired
and sallow, the average man might have
passed him in the street dozen times
without noticing him. But Gil was not
an average man, for one thing, and, for
another, Tim was taking no chances If
the Mexican should-by some unavoid-
able mishap-become aware of his exist
ence in the near future, it was highly
important that he should not be able
to recall the fact that they had left
Washington and arrived in New York
by the same train.
All of which Tim could not well explain
to the conductor Of the dining-car; so he
merely ignored the waving hand and slid
into the nearest empty seat.
AT the abrupt advent the young man
across the table looked up from his maga-
zine, and Tim greeted him with friendly
nod, which was pleasantly returned and
the reading resumed.
"a handsome youngster,' thought
Scarborough, remembering now that he
had seen his neighbor before, back in the
parlor-car. His seat was the third be-
