GERMAN FARMERS
MUST GIVE UP FOOD
AL Stock Which Holders Try to Con
ceal to Be Confscated Without
Pay By Government.

COPENHAGEN, via London, March
2S.-The heyday of the farming popu-
latlon of Germany, large proportion
of which has been suffering from nc
such shortage of meats, bread milk
cheese, and other products as the city
and industrial classes under the ration
system, apparently is over. Under the
new law which has just been promul-
gated by the German official organ the
military authorities are invoked to Ell
force obedience to the food regulations
Military power. which alone is now
fully respected III Germany, will be
represented on commission to force
the agrarians to surrender all grain
beyond the amounts allotted them un
der the ration system. These will b.
transferred at the soonest possible no
ment to government warehouses. Tn
threshed grain must be threshed i'm
mediately. The authorities are to fur
nish machines, horses and labor wher
the lack of these is given as an ex
cuse for delay in complying with tn
order.
All stocks which the holders en-
deavor to conceal may be confscatee
without payment for them. The reaso,
for the new law is the well known fac
that great numbers of agrarians hav
refrained from turning over to the com
mon stocks for general use the fu
amount of their produce in order to in
sure for themselves more ample fooo
r that they may be able to sell direcf
to consumers in evasion of maximum
prices or to feed their cattle on which
greater profits are obtainable than
from grain or potatoes.
This condition is possible largely
owing to the fact that the authorize
in the country districts are drawn from
the agrarian classes and are not dis
1osed to exercise measures of undu
severity against their friends or neigl
bors.

done. If anybody has a complaint, all
they have to do is to call up Bingham
he does the rest. A telephone is at
his elbow by day and by his bedside
at night, and he knows how to get ac-
ton. a complaint comes presto! a
man is sent to apply the remedy. If
an electric street light is out, Bingham
has it fixed; if waterpipe bursts, if
anything happens that falls within the

knows just what should be done and

Town Well Advertised.
Norwood gets good advertising out
of its novel system. One man wrote
that he and his wife wanted to locate
in the town, and said, by way of rec
concentration, that they were both to-
tal abstainers.
With valuation of $4,000, 900, a
population of 1880, tax rate of
$3.50 and total expenditures of $780,
600, Norwood is very prosperous
town, and it shows prosperity. Poor
relief costs less than $4,000. The
town is getting ready to build a $3.50.
600 high school building and a $4,000
town hall.
In 1916 the town saved $14,70O. or
$l.23 per capita, in purchasing sup
plies under the regular market prices.
The year before the saving was $4,000.
BY motorizing the fire department
5000 was saved in horse feed and 800
more through the lower insurance rate
which the change effected.
During five years the town paid on
an average of $4,000 a year for engi-
neering work. Now it has an engi-
neering department at a cost of only
50 900 q year.
The cost of crushed stone was re-
duced from $109 to go cents a ton,
which on an annual output of IA ,0OO
tons, paid for all the necessary changes
and Melted about $4,000 besides. This
was done by substituting compressed
air drills. electric power, tracks. cars
etc, in place of horses, carts and steam
power.
