COMMISSIONERS OF DISTRIBUTION

then the fact is brought home to the
American people through some strik-
ing incident.
Apples and other fruits have been
people of other communities are com
PEELED 10 pay relatively high prices
for a very inferior article of the
same kind.
Therei S on the market in various
cities and towns throughout the west
lin South Dakota, in parts of Mime
sofa. in North Dakota, in Iowa, and
ether states--a Gull apple that re-
tails at forty to- sixty cents a peck,
while better apples are rotting on the
ground beneath the rec which bore
them in Minnesota.
1t isn't the fault of the merchant
who sells these 'culls" that it is SO;
neither is it the fault of the consum-
or; nor yet the fault of the grower.
Through a system that has been
evolved in our mercantile methods
the people of those communities
which do not grow fruit, for instance,
or vegetables, or that do not produce
canned goods. must depend upon the
wholesaler and the jobber for those
things which they do not produce.
The jobber transacts business upon
1 somewhat large scale. Naturally
he buys where he can buy the cheap
est and sells where he can sell the
dearest.
He ships apples, as an Illustration,
through and around those Minnesota
communities (and communities in
other states) that produce apples,
supplying the various local markets
with fruit grown in Missouri, perhaps,
or in the golden west, thus shutting
out the aem3nd for the fruit grown
II the community.
In line with the thought herein sug-
gested we reproduce the following
Arosn the Blunt Is. d. Advocate;
A party from Blunt autoed down
to the river country at DeGrey last
Sunday and enjoyed the day. The
alfalfa hay at McGaffee's, the plums,
apples and melons On the John Keyes
place and fish, melons and garden
stuff at Haryey's all show a prosper
~ country. The apple trees and
the sample of apples which had load
ed the trees down vas a surprise.
and it would certainly be worth while
OF make a trip to the Reyes ranch
when the trees are loaded. Melons
are still plentiful and not cry ex
p~enaive.
And well wager q cast-off nightcap
against d toadstool that the people of
Blunt partake OF very little OF the
fruit and melons produced on the
ranch In question. Instead they prob
ably get their melons from Missouri
and their apples from Arkansas OF
Washington and their plums from
California. IL they do not. they are
the exception to the rule.
But We do not wish to be under
stood d. criticising the good people
pfBlnnt, nor their merchants, nor the
wholesalers and the jobbers who fur,
nish the blunt merchants with the

TO THE HOUSEWIFE
The Nation's Greatest Conserver OF
Foodstuffs

~ #&&&@@
Dear Madam:
Not only from an economic but also
from a scientific standpoint bread from
wheat flour--GARLAND ~FLOUR--is the best
all around food that nature produces.
It builds bone, delicate nerve tissue
and tough sineW. It makes soft damask
cheeks and steely muscles. It gives
stamina and strength.
Give your family more bread,
rolls, biscuits and things made from
GARLAND FLOUR. Give them the food sle-
ments their bodies need and that GARLAND
FLOUR contains generously in easily
assimilated form. AT the same time
effect a real domestic economy.
Very truly yours,

COUNCIL RAISED SALARIES

The city council met Friday even
ing at the City Hall to consider the
report of the law and order commit
tee consisting of F. w. Pelkey, w.
C. Thompson and G. G.. Clarke re-
lative to fixing the salaries OF the
officials for the coming biennial.
Chairman Pelkey supported by
Councilman Thompson presented a
majority report recommending a
raise, and Councilman Clarke offered
a minority report opposing the raise.
The changes asked for in the ma
jority report were as follows:
Mayor, from $3.50 to $500 a year.
Clerk from $3.50 to $410.
Police Judge cut from $500 to
5000.
Attorney, no change.
Councilmen raised from $lOO to
5000 year. " 'a
Treasurer, no change.
Chief of police, from $50 to 500
a month.
Patrolman from $S5 to 500.
Fire chief from $50 to $50.
Mr.. Pelkey spoke in support OF the
report, and w. r. Bergman spoke
against it. Mr.. Pelkey said it was
worth $50 quarter to act as coun-
Gilman, and Mr.. Bergman argued
that councilmen did not expect to
be paid what it was worth for their
time, and that it was a position OF
trust and honor and should be SO
regarded rather than being put on
a commercial basis.
The items were voted on separate
ly, the vote being six to two for the
raise of the mayors salary, Clarke
and Bergman voting no, and all the
others yes. The vote on the raise
for councilmen stood five to three,
Clarke, Berryma1i ana Heese voting
no and Stephens, Boiling, thompson
Pennington and Pedkey voting yes.

GOVERNMENT MUST FIX
FOOD PRICES SAYS BORAH

The senate is working hard at its
gigantic task of ordering the war
preparations of rich and ready
country. The chief thing at the first
is food for the allies.
Senator Borah advocates the set
ting of food prices by federal author
ity, suggesting that the power might
be conferred on the council of ma
tional defense.
Americas duty in this war is first
of all to feed her allies and herself" ,"
he said in a recent session. ut is
more important to produce and ex-
port sufficient food supplies than 1t
is for us to send armies to France.
If the most careful steps are not
taken at once, the world is going to
he face to face with a food famine.
The thing to be done Immediately
is to empower the government to
establish maximum prices to be
charged for the necessities of life
and to fix rigid penalties for extor-
tion.
"It seems evident now that the
crops this year are going to be short.
That means that even IL we had no
war on our hands prices would soar.
What is the sense of our lending the
allies three billions of dollars II they
can't get food, or If we are going to
sell it to them at extortionate prices!
