WRITE CONGRESS
ABOUT FOOD CONTROL BILL

Senator Thompson put in the
Congressional Record without read
ing last week these letters to him
from Abilene on food control:
Dear Sir: What is being done by
the government to stop the gamble
in foodstuffs? When the situation
has reached such a point where
flour is sold at 81 sack and pota-
toes 95 cents a peck in this coun-
try, where these things are grown,
surely 1t is time for some sort of an
intervention and we urgently re-
quest you to act for us In the inter-
ests and welfare of the common
people. May we expect this? We
are confident that you will continue
to serve us in this matter and see
that the food spectators do not
bring our country to ruin.-Lena
Metz, Mrs. Milton Policy, Mrs. r. N.
simmons, Beth Motter.
Dear Sir: There are many ser
ious questions confronting this
country and government today. Some
of these things we believe can be
handled and regulated without any
great lot of trouble.
The question of foodstuffs is get
ting to the point where it must have
some attention. For instance, the
price of sugar is now beyond the
reach of the average family. We
can not find that there is any APP
parent shortage of foodstuffs that
prices should be advanced so rap
idly of late, and there is no reason
for such advances. Many of these
products are in spectators hands,
and as we can not learn of any
shortage the matter should have in
vestigation and government control.
We believe in good prices-to live
and let live; but we do not believe
that spectators should regulate the
price of foodstuffs in this country.
Therefore, as stated, this ques-
ton needs attention and quick ac-
ton, and we believe by you giving
it the right consideration that re-
suits can be had that will be salts
factory to all.

GOVERNMENT PHONE CALLS
HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY

The United Telephone Co. is do
ing its share for the government.
All messages having to do with gov
eminent business, such as the
council of defense, etc, have right
of way over the lines and other
calls must wait. Many of the men
have been taken to work on gov
eminent construction of signal
corps and telephone lines and 1t is
expected that other departments
will be called on to help equip the
cantonments and in the electrical
work of the .army. Later, probably
many men from the electric and
telephone companies will be taken
to France.

COUNTY CANNOT PAY BONUS
FOR SALE OF IT'S BONDS

A letter from the attorney general
to the county attorney says regard
ing the sale of refunding bonds:
"In my judgment board of coun-
ty commissioners would not be au-
thorized to pay a bonus in the sell
ing of it's bonds since the payment
of such bonus would amount to
selling the bonds below par" He
says such bonds need not be offer
ed to the school fund. The refund
ing proposal considered recently
