CONTROL OF RETAIL PRICES

After November wholesale and
other handlers of food whose business
will 20 under license will not be per-
mitted to sell to distributors who
seek undue profits. This plan, food
administration officials believe will
give the government entire control
of retail price.
Every retailer, as well as every
other handler Of food, is forbidden,
under the law to make any unreason-
able charge, to hoard, to monopOlize,
to waste, or destroy, or to conspire
with anyone to restrict the produc-
tion, distribution or supply, or exact
excessive prices on any necessities. If
these provisions are violated the re-
taller will find himself unable to buy
from any wholesaler or manufacturer.
Federal food administrators in all
the states will be directed to keep
watch for violators and send to
the food administration the names Of
retailers asking excessive prices.
Dealers who sell to the consumer at
the lowest possible prices viii be pro-
tected from illegitimate competition.
Those who abuse their opportunities
and take advantage of the emergency
caused by the war win receive atten-
ton.

'Tired Feeling" Failed to Win Hin
An Exemption

Columbus Advocate.
Freddie Funston Davis, of Baxter
Springs, who told the members of the
local exemption board that he "had
noises in his head" will have to fight
for Uncle Sam.
Davis claim of physical disability
caused the local, doctors to give him
a very careful examination and the
board accepted his, knowing that he
would have to undergo a final ex-
animation at Camp Funston. Now
according to the Topeka Capital,
Davis appeal to the district board
for exemption has been denied.
Davis case is a peculiar one" "
said DR.. J. Dale Graham, the physi-
clan member of the board today. II
don't believe there is anything par
