BEWARE OF sPEcULATORS.
Shippers Of Grain. Hay and Feed
Advised to be on Outlook For
Speculative Practice

Shippers of grain, hay and feed
are advised by the Bureau of Mar
kets, United States Department oi
Agriculture, to be on the lookout fol
what is known as shipper order
bill of lading' transactions with un-
known or irresponsible persons
! Shipping car lots to such buyers un-
der no obligation other than to pay
for the shipment if they finally take
it out of the cars. tends to encourage
speculation and is liable to increase
freight congestion. Some of these
buyers order products shipped in the
hope that the price will 60 up in the
meantime and enable them to sell
locally to a local dealer who will
pay cash. Unless they succeed in
selling to othsrs, many of these
shippers ORDER consignees have
insufficient capital to pay for the
goods, which sometimes fall on the
shipper.
In case recently investigated by
the department a man without finan-
cial standing, who posed as COM
mercial company, succeeded in pur-
chasing large shipments of hay and
mill feed. As there was no advance
in price and as he had no cash with
which to meet the drafts. he held
the goods for several weeks in the
cars on the track. Some of the cars
were on the track for oyer twenty
days before unloading. When he
succeeded in selling a car, instead
of paying his own cash for it he sent
his customer to the bank to release
the draft. The day the department
was on the ground this
man had thirteen cars of hay and
nine cars of mill feed on the track,
papers for seventeen more cars en-
route, and a number more still to
be shipped 1t was stated locally
that in the same kind of transaction
in the past a severe decline in price
rendered this individual unable to
pay for thirty cars of produce, which
the shipper was forced to sell at a
loss. The shippers in this
case easily could have obtained facts
as to their customers responsibility
from the mercantile agencies or from
local banks or merchants.

"These gentlemen are very anxious

decided upon an appeal to prejudice
instead OF upon the records of the
candidates, the issue will be between
Vardaman, as the peoples represen-
tative. and Fred Sullens. as q repre-
sentative of the old secret caucus
crowd, and all that that means. Brew
or is quoted as saying:
when he (referripg to Vsrdaman)
gave out his interview and said that
this nation had stabbed Germany in
the back. while France and England
had her down, the ex-governor knows
that Vardaman did not make such a
statement, or he is unable to under
stand the English language. Varda-
man was telling about the different
excuses others were making for the
war, and in that connection used this
language: Then. again. it was pro-
posed if we did not fight Germany
now-stab her in the back while Eng
land and France have her down-we
would have to fight her alone.' and
other excuses or causes. imaginary
or real. for war were assigned.
Anybody with just an ordinary un-
derstanding of the English language
would understand that Vardaman did
not give it as his idea that we were
Germany in the back, but
that he said others proposed to do
that-to fight Germany while we had
help. 1t looks to me as if ex-Gov.
Brewer not only thinks we should
fight Germany while we have help.
but that he thinks he should fight the
junior Senator while he has help, and
he doesn't seem to be very particular
about the kind of help he 9ets.''

The Government and Paid
Advertising.

1.-The question of whether the United
. policy of paying for advertising in
the newspapers has been much agi-
tated of late. especially in regard to
selling of Liberty Loan Bonds. This
being q strictly money matter. the
question comes up more squarely in
connection with it than with regis
tratiOn, food conservation or other
governmental matters given publicity.
Secretary McAdoo of the treasory.
has issued q statement dealing with
the matter. After referring to the
great amount OF advertising patriot
ically given to the Liberty Loan Bonds
in the first campaign by newspapers
and other advertising agencies. and
by banks and other concerns and by
individuals. the secretary cOntradicts
in the first Liberty Loan campaign
asked for free advertising or paid for
any advertising is the newspapers.
The great success of the loan he at
tributes in q very great degree to the
voluntary and patriotic work and ad-
vertising space patriotically given free
to the government.
"While acknowledging the tremen-
dous value Of advertisinug the Secre-
tary points out that the relation of
the government to the press and to
the public generally is such that the
question Of paid advertising by it
presents . problem very much more
complex than it would be to . private
enterprise. The government cannot
use the same through discrimination
- to the mediums it should use. but
would be obliged to be thoroughly
democratic and impartial and the cost
of such IN undertaking would be very
great and would exceed the appr0-
priation available under the exciting

oUALITY>oF MILK
 IS VASTLY IMPROVED
Report of Dairy and Food Conlnnls- sioner Has Been Submitted to Gov ernor.

The report of the dairy and food commissioner, which has just been submitted to the governor, discusses milk production, meat inspection and food and drug control in the state, and in conclusion Commissioners Frank H. Stadtmueller recommends the addition of one inspector, the passage of an act requiring the label ing of all subdivisions or lots of foods to conform to the statements required upon the original packages, the licensing of dealers of oleomar- garine and renovated butter, the passage of a meat inspection law and the annual registration of all milk producers and dealers.
 Regarding milk production, the commissioner says:
 The magnitude of the milk in- dustry, the large volume of daly pro-
 duction and consumption, and its
 susceptibility to contamination and
 deterioration makes this the most
 work of the state. In order that there be no misunderstanding, let it be un- derstood that the average quality of milk, produced throughout Connecticut has improved vastly dnring the past decade. That it can be brought to a higher standard is also true. The work confronting the department consists, therefore, not only Of maintaining the present standard, but
 also of raising it, particularly in so T stable and dairy inspections" The commissioner gives histort- cal review of some of the phases of the milk problem for 25 years.
 As to food and drug control, the commissioner says: The results of the work of this department for the
 last two years justify the tatement that the quality of the foods and
 drugs supplied in the state have been with minor exceptions. of standard quality. But 5S6 of the samples taken constitute technical or fradulent violations of the food and drug laws upon which 153 prosecutions were bas- ed and preferred as provided by
 statute, to local prosecutors for att tention in towns in which the off, lenses were committed"
 The commissioner says that the largest percentage of fraudulent sales of any one food product occurred with butter. The 99. cases of adulterated or misbranded butter consisted of the sale of renovated butter or oleomar- garine as butter. In these instances
 the question of healthfulness was not opinion regarding the right or reason-
 raised, but" says the commissioner, ableness- of purchasers to be served
 there should be little difference of
 with that which they desire instead of having a substitute therefor palmed off on them."
