BLoSHEVlkI ELEMENT Is
GETTING TO BE UNPOPULAR

STOCKHOLM. Nov. 21-Reports
brought by the latest travellers to
reach Tornea from Petrograd indicate
that a resulsion of feeling is setting in
against the Bolsheviki. Regiments of
soldiers have paraded the streets of
the Russian capitol bearing banners
with inscriptions such as I'VE want
no separate peace Down with Petro.

tyranny" and Nicholas regime was
never SO tyrannic as the Bolsheviki
regime
The central committee of the anti
Bolsheviki socialist coalition has pass
ed a resolution demanding liberty of
the press, the dismissal of the red
guard and the immediate cessation of
fratricidal war. Maxim Gorky's paper
and the Volna Narodna, also demand
that the red guard be disarmed.
American minister Norris learns
from a competent source that the food
supply in Petrograd is ominously
short and that the bread ration is now
three quarters of Russian pound for
two days. Nearly one-third of the
executive committee formed by the
Mayimalists at the outbreak of the
revolt have resigned and it is reported
that the remainder have conferred die
torial law-making powers on Nikolai
Lenine, who is now issuing decrecs
altering the fundamental laws.

CITY ON BEET
SUGAR FARE

Richmond started on the beet sug-
ar diet Wednesday.
Six hundred bags, containing 100
pounds in each bag, we're received by
Hood and company, wholesale grocers,
late Tuesday afternoon. Another car
load is expected in several days.
The sale of the sugar to retailers
probably will be limited according to
City Food Director Mckinley.
According to State Food Admins
traitor Barnard beet sugar should re-
tail at eight and one-half cents a
pound, which allows fair profit for
the retailer.
Many Richmond grocers, who have
been selling cane sugar at more than
ten cents a pound, and who were re-
ported to the state food director, have
lowered their prices since they were
reported it became known Wednesday.
About thirty grocers were reported to
the state director. The state admin
istrator has ruled that one cent on
each pound is fair profit for the re-
taller on the sale of sugar

Il certainly do favor a return to

SECOND FOOD
CAMP PAIGN ON
IN RICHMOND
Canvassers Visit Those Who
Refused To Sign Cards
Movement Explained.

A second canvass of Wayne county
in the interests of the national food
conservation campaign is now well
under way and it is probable the work
will have been completed within a
week
During the first canvass there were
quite few families who declined to
pledge themselves to conserve their
food supplies, the majority having
been influenced in SO doing by a pro-
German propaganda which attempted
to defeat the purposes of the conserv-
alton movement. There were a few
people who declined to sign pledges
because they were obstinately oppos.
ed to denying themselves in any
form.
During the second canvass the peo-
pie who refused to pledge themselves
when first called upon are being Wis.
tied again, and the canyassers are
also calling on people who were alb
sent from their homes when the first
campaign was conducted.
Almost Completed. -.
The second canvass has almost been
completed in Richmond. except in
West Richmond and Fairview.
Il believe there will be very few
Wayne county families not pledged to
food conservation when the second
campaign Closes" said Miss NJ. E. B.
Culbertson, secretary of the County
Council of Defense.
There are still few people who be-
l1eve that conservation of food sup
plies means the curtailment of their
| rationing, and to these people it is
being carefully explained that the only
| purpose of the government is an oc
casional substitution of not generally
used staples, and a whole-hearted eff
fort to prevent the wastage Of all fooc
i supplies.
