FLORIDA TO HAVE lMME.
date OPERATION OF FOOD
ADMINISTRATIONS PROGRAM
FOR THE CONTROLLING OF
ALL FOOD PRODUCTS
The Method ls a Simple One and Will
Tend to Reduce High Cost Of
Food Staple

Orlando, Nov. 16.-Florida is to
have an immediate operation of the
Food Administrations program for
controlling all food products, and
within the next week or ten days the
wheels of machinery under control Of
Hon. Braxton Beecham will begin to
turn in the general program instituted
by Herbert c. Hoover, National Food
Director.
Mr.. Beecham spent several days Of
last week in Washington. where he
had lengthy conferences with Mr..
Hoover and administrators of the
Southern States. they being called to
the capital to describe conditions in
their respective states, and give ad-
vice as to the best methods to be pur-
sued in bringing about lower prices
in provisions, and at the same time
effecting lower cost to the consum-
erS.
In an interview this morning Mr..
Beacham stated that the methods to
be used were in no way revoluntion-
ary nor were they designed in a care
less manner On the contrary the
regulations are to be applied in such
a manner that there will be no de-
moralization of business or loss to
merchants dealing in food stuff
A Simple Method
Describing the methods to be pur-
sued, Mr.. Beacham says that the plan
originated in Washington-the licens-
ing of wholesale dealers-is the sim.
rle plan. All wholesale dealers who
handle provisions will be required to
take out license issued by the Gov
ernment at Washington. under which
they will be obligated to obey such
measures as are outlined in the poll
cies already determined. These deal.
ers will also be required to conform
to reasonable prices, and will not be
allowed to charge exorbitant prices to
retailers. The retailers in turn will
be required to charge only fair prices
or prices that will give them fair
and reasonble profit from the consum
er. Wholesale dealers who transact
business of less than 100000 year
will not belicensed, but will be close
ly watched by the officials of the Good
Administration. and inevent that they
attempt to overcharge, they will be
deprived from privileges OF buying
goods from the larger or licensed
wholesale houses.
Local Reports to Help
In each county of Florida there will
be reporter appointed by Mr.. Beach
am, whose duties will consist of max
ing a weekly report on retail prices
and these will be compared to the
wholesale prices so that no extortior
will escape notice. Should retailers
attempt to overcharge or make un
reasonable charges, they will instant
ly receive attention, and IL they per
sist in conscienceless practices they
will also be debarred from purchasing
stock from wholesalers.
Inspectors will also be appointed
by Mr.. Beacham, and these inspectors
will cover the entire state of Florida
giving their attention to all dealers
and reporting such cases of extortion
short weights, and all other violations
of the regulations as come to thei
notice. The Orlando office will re
ceive all the reports and will keel
constantly in touch with local condi

PROCLAMATION BY
GOVERNOR SLEEPER

Governor Albert E. Sleeper has is
sued the following proclamation:
Our American civilization is built
around the home. The heart of the
home is the mother. What is there in
all the realm of Art that stands higher;
more commanding more beautiful, than
simple, refined gracious woman in
her household; woman whose daily
life is an out-pouring of the Gospel of
service, who is worshipped by her chill
dren, beloved by her husband and who
rules in her home by sweetness, by
gentleness, by self-denial, by love? The
mothers of the land are engaged in the
noblest of all callings, the rearing Of
their sons and daughters to take their
places as useful members of society.
AS we, whose mothers have left us,
look back through the years, how sweet
and precious is the memory of the
mother in the old home. All her life
was beauteous life. 1t ran like rill
down the hillside and sang all the time.
1t was like flowers that know no sum-
mer and no winter. The memory of~it
kindles in us still the supremest affec-
tion and arouses the finest enthusiasm
of our hearts.
Therefore. that We may pay special
tribute Of affection to the mothers who
still live and honor the memory of the
mothers who have gone from us, /,
ALBERT E. SLEEPER, Governor of the
State of Michigan. do hereby designate
and set aside Sunday, May Thirteenth,
as Mothers Day; and call upon our
people, both young and old, to gather
in their several places of worship, and
take part in services appropriate to the
tbs day and, by the wearing of red
flower for the living mother and a
white for the dear departed, to symbo.
lie their love and reverence for the
mothers of the nation.
In accordance with resolution of the
Congress of the United States. / fur
ther request the people of Michigan, on
ohe day aforesaid to display the United
States flag in their homes and in other
suitable places, as fitting expression
of their desire to pay homage to Amer
lean motherhood.
