FOOD CONTROL LAWS

| There are those Americans who. az
ter perusing the provisions Of the pro-
tposed food control legislation, are seiz-
ed with the fear that general upheaval
of business conditions will follow the
carrying out of the governments plans
to regulate the production, storage and
distribution of the nations food sup
plies. That this fear is unf0unded is
made clear In q recent explanation by
Mr.. Hoover, selected by the president
as the man to head the food adminis-
tration, who assures us that the pri-
vacy of the home will not be invaded
to secure the information sought under
the survey feature of the program.
Even the small retailer and producer
will not be affected, but all efforts will
be centered upon those great organiza-
tions and interests which have, in the
past, been in the habit Of storing huge
quantities of food to produce an arti-
fetal shortage, in order to force up
| prices.
The controversy appears to have mar
lrowed down to a contest between the
speculator and the consumer. The
farmer, assured of fair price for his
crop, is not affected. However, the
consumer is concerned because Of the
apparent unreasonable prices the spee e.
| uiator because he is the man upon
whom rests responsibility for the un-
precedented rise. The government,
| therefore, does not seek to change the
whole system of legitimate conaerva-
ton and merchandising Of food, but
asks merely for the power to curb the
activities OF food gamblers, middlemen
and warehousemen, whose actions nee
essarilY affect both the consumer and
/ farmer alike.
The senate committee on agriculture,
with these facts in mind, has added TO

That the entire attention of the
people of the country is not given to
war and war subjects is shown by the
ready response to the cry of distress
in the tornado stricken sections of
the Mississippi valley where money
and supplies for relies have flowed in
almost before the call was sent out.
Ii an earthquake four thousand
miles away, mere tremor at that,
can be detected then why not sub
marine four miles away? Some
American will soon demonstrate that
the submarine can be located and
more that it can be put out of com
mission too.
1t may be all right to give the De-
partment of Agriculture power to reg
ulate the spectators in food products,
but any attempt on the part of the
Federal government to forcibly super
wise the farming industry of the coun-
try would be the superlative degree Of
frenzied folly.

BELGIANS ESCAPE IN
 GERMAN UNIFORMS.
A Clever Rvse Resorted to by The
 Cunning Prisoners

An ingenious ruse, smacking of pi- rate yarns, recently enabled forty Bel gians to get safely out of Belgium. says the Petit Journal of Paris. A tugboat lay on the River Mouse at Haccout early one morning, guarded by three German soldiers. One or two Belgians casually approached and entered into conversation with the sentries, the se- quel to a friendly chat being an invi- tation to have drink at the nearest hostelry. Here a sleeping potion was adroitly introduced in the unsuspect- ing Germans glasses, and few min utes later the sentries were carried aboard the boat in a helpless condition.
 Three Belgians quickly donned their uniforms, the rest of the fugitive party had already taken up their quarters below, and the towboat was soon stea- ming Hollandwards, the German war flag flying bravely at the masthead Arrived at the lock, orders were imper- iously shouted and once safely on the other side the little boat sped down stream at full speed, snapping the wire that stretched across the boundary and being soon afterwards run ashore on Dutch territory.
 The borrowed plumes restored to them, the abducted Germans were giv- en due directions concerning the way back to Belgium.

Worlds Course In Sin Nearly Ended.

Worlds Course In Sin Nearly Ended.
Editors Pleasantville Press:=
In language too sublime and clear
to suggest either comment or inter-
probation, the prophet Joel exclaims:
BLOW We the trumpet in Zion, and
sound an alarm in My holy mountain;
let all the inhabitants of the land
tremble: for the day of the Lord COM
eth. for it is nigh at hand; a day of
darkness and of gloominess, a day of
clouds and of thick darkness, as the
morning spread Upon the mountains;
a great people and a strong; there
hath not been ever the like, neither
shall be any more after it, even to the
years of many generations" Joel
81, 2.
The Saviour also forewarns of the
trembling caused by the fear that
would take possession of the hearts
of men when the day of God is at
hand, in these words
And there shall be signs in the
sun, and in the moon, and in the
stars; and upon the earth distress of
nations, with p~erplexity; the sea and
the raves roaring; mems hearts fail
ing them for fear, and for looking af-
ter those things which are coming on
the earth; for the powers of heaven
shall be shaken. And then shall they
see the Son of mar coming in a cloud
with power and great glory" Luke
21:25-27.
This failing of hearts through fear
while they are looking at the things
that are coming upon the earth is con-
fined exclusively to those who reject
God and His protecting plan of saliva
ton; for we read in the verse follow
ing the last quotation: when these
things begin to come to pass, then
look up. and lift up your heads; for
your redemption draweth nigh"
We are standing on the threshold of
the great day of the Lord. Human
language is powerless to depict what
lies or right before us. And while
these things may cause the people of
the world distress and perplexity, and
while their hearts may be failing them
for fear, Jesus of Nazareth, the
mighty Saviour, is calling to all His
children to 'look up" and lift up their
heads, for their redemption draws
nigh. This worlds course in sin is
about ended. The second coming of
Christ is just before; and to every
one who is distressed and perplexed
by fear-yea. to every individual in
all the world who will receive it
the blessed Master sends the mes
sage:-
Herein is our love made perfect,
that we may have boldness in the day
of Judgment; because as He is, so are
we in this world. There is no fear in
love; but perfect love casteth out
fear; because fear hath torment. He
that feareth is not made perfect in
love. l John All, IS.

WIFE FACES OTHER
IN PATHE SERIAL
Twelfth Episode of Neglected
Wife" at Strand Theatre.

"Embittered Love" is the title of the
twelfth episode of Pathe's serial, 1.-THE
Neglected Wife," based upon Mabel
Herbert Urner's famous books 1.-THE
Journal of a Neglected Wife, and 1.-THE
Woman Alone" which is to be shown
at the Strand Theatre on Monday.
In the last episode Mary, the wife
of Kennedy, warned Margaret Warner
that she must give up her husband.
Margaret made an honest effort to do
so, but Kennedy overcame the girls
resolve. Norwood, who has a true and
unselfsh love for Margaret, aided her
in recovering valuable papers from
Doyle.
Struck on the head, he was left in
the burning house, in which they had
surprised Doyle and his henchmen.
Margaret returns with a patrolman
who after a desperate fight with the
flames, finally carries out the uncOn-
scious body of Norwood. Doyle, think
ing that Norwood is safe out of the
way, begins a new plot to avenge him
self upon Kennedy.
Mary receives another note from the
yelled woman while eating breakfast.
Kennedy demands to see it. She re-
fuses. Forcing it from her hands, he
reads: "Your husband visited the 9TH
er woman's apartment this afternoon.
Remember he ruined my life, and |
am going to punish him." who is
this yelled woman? Someone you have
ruined?" Mary asks him. Kennedy
tells Mary that he does not know any
thing about this mysterious woman.
Margaret accompanies Norwood
home, and after she has bathed his
head, he gradually gains strength. He
learns that the papers he had helped
her recover were in reality letters from
Kennedy. "Do you mean to say | was
aiding Kennedy by recovering those
papers?" he asks. Margaret, fearful,
slowly mods her head. Norwood tells
} Margaret that he will not forget that
she has tricked him.
Mary visits Margaret and tells her
that she will have to give up her hus-
band or she will have her elected as
an immoral person. Mary gives Mar
garet four hours in which to leave
town. Margaret, really a good girl,
writes Kennedy that she is going out
of his life and that she does not wish
to see him again. He phones Marga-
ret, but discovers that she has gone
leaving no address.
Kennedy is followed by the yelled
woman to his office m with knife
drawn, she attempts to end his life.
Struggling, Kennedy overpowers her.
Seeing that she will be caught, she
escapes.
Who is this mysterious woman?
