HOOVER AND FOOD CONTROL
Secretary of State.

American people have heard so
much in recent months about how
bread cards are issued in Germany
and other warning countries of Eu-
rope, how only certain number of
ounces of each food article are al
lotted to each individual each day or
week, that they have feared we in
America are about to experience the
same kind of treatment. Herbert
Hoover, former head of the Belgian
Relief commission and about to be
made head of Americas food conser-
yation commission, recently said:
Food control does not mean bread
cards to the American people. 1t
means the broad conservation of our
food, the better handling by elimina-
tion of waste and speculation. With
proper control for America the gov
ernment would ask only one thing
from the individual consumer-that
he eat plenty, but wisely, and waste
nothing. And if democracy is faith
worth defending, our people will do
this service voluntarily and will.
ingly."
Commenting on this statement, the
Minneapolis Journal says:
These are words of a wise, an un-
selfish, an experienced American, who
has proved his right to say them by
his own great works, and who should,
and doubtless will be chosen as the
supreme controller of American food
stuffs.
Food control is imminent. 1t is
the next pressing thing that congress
must arrange. 1t is provided for in
the Lever bill, now before the house.
This measure grants almost absolute
control over foodstuffs from the time
of production until that of consump-
ton; it grants power not only over
prices and the checking of waste, but
over transportation, storage and
other factors in the problem.
Mr.. Hoover declares that "there
is absolutely no occasion for food
panic in this country, nor any justi-
fication for outrageous prices.
Rightly controlled there will be
food enough to supply ourselves and
to furnish eighty per cent of what
our allies need. But to accomplish
that we must not permit boarding of
food at home; we must check food
panics; we must control speculation
and exorbitant profits in the process
es of diatribntion; we must SO regu.
late supplying OF our allies that their
competition for food in our markets
shall not add to the tension"

Mrs. Mackay Gives Informal Knitting
Party for Guests

Just because knitting is about the
most fascinating work in the world,
and because the women and girls of
Ocala are devoting every moment of
their spare time to this useful as well
as delightful diversion, those who
spent the morning yesterday with
Mrs. George MacKay and her guest,
Miss Frances Arnold, had just the
best sort of time My, how the nee
dies clicked and the tongues flew.
There is quite an art in knitting and
talking 'a1l at once,' and although
there are a few knitters yet in Ocala
who have not acquired this double art
they were quite in the minority among
Mrs. MacKay's gusets, and there were
very few quiet moments during the
morning. While almost everyone was
knitting there were a few present who
made Red Cross bandages instead. A
few years ago it would not have been
thought possible to have a party and
yet at the same time accomplish so
much real work But the parties Civ
en- in Ocala recently have proven this
fact beyond all doubt, and everyone
has just as good or rather much bet
ter time than If they had been idle.
Mrs. MacKay's guests yesterday
morning were Miss Arnold, Miss Flor
ence Brooks, Miss Wartmann, Mrs.
Scott, Mrs. McIver, Mrs. Herndon.
Miss Mamie Taylor Mrs. George Ford.
Mrs. B. S. Weathers, Mrs. Clarence
Camp, Mrs. Jack Camp, Mrs. James
Taylor, Mrs. Lloyd, Miss Onie ChazaI
Miss Elizabeth Davis, Mrs. w. v. New
som, Jr, Miss Mary Mcdowell, Mrs.
]. ]. Gerig and Mrs F. r. Hooker.
The ladies knitted until twelve
O'Clock when Mrs. MacKay, assisted
by Miss Arnold, Miss Taylor and Miss
Brooks, served a very delicious little
luncheon.

THIS PAPER AND The NOISE EN-
CINE

This paper does not wish to be UNI
fair to the city council or to anyone
else.
When the council, against its pro-
test and the protest of large part of
the population of this city determined
to put the new electric light and wa
ter plant In the residential section
the property owners and jewellers in
that locality were told that the new
plant would in no way be disturb
ance; that the machinery would be
vibrationless and noiseless and the
plant itself would be an attraction.
But it is noisy and disturbing, and
it does seem that if relief can be Civ
en- at all it ought to have been ac-
complished within period of three
months.
The editor of this paper is accused
of being unfair to the council in that
he does not longer wait with patience.
In a recent issue he said:
HE would have no one believe that
ne feels for one moment that this
was done through envy, hatred or NAL
ice. He does not believe any such
thing.
Those in authority have simply
made a mistake, which any Of us or
all of us are liable to make at times.
"All he asks is that this mistake be
rectified That this nerye-racking en-
CINE be abandoned and substituted
with new and noiseless one, that
will not destroy property valuations
and make living unbearable, for sure
ly the happiness and enjoyment of
people are worth more than any piece
of machinery"
Three months and more is long
time for one to endure a distressing
and Notwithstanding noise. and one
can hardly be blamed for growing
just bit impatient We are not all
Jobs.
The editor OF this paper has no
present grievance against any of the
members of the city council for
what's done is done, nor has he any
grievance against any of the persons
running to fill the offices in the ap-
preaching election, but he would like
for them to define their position on
this disturbance.
If it is found that this noise cannot
be stopped will they promise to con-
denim the offending engine and substi-
tute noiseless one for it?
Surely a suffering people are enti-
tied to that much consideration.
We want the noise to stop or the
engine to go.
That is just now the sum and sub
stance of the politics of this paper,
and we believe of majority of the
voters of the city
