Mrs. Earl Sheppard was able to re-

Miss Marie Blizzard, of Philadel-

Mr.. and Mrs. Hiram Blizzard.
On Saturday evening Frank May
hew's barn was burned to the ground.
Mrs. Mayhem and their two children,
Franklin and Helen, left home on
Saturday afternoon for visit to rela-
tives in Camden, and Mr.. Mayhem was
at the home of his father, half mile
distant, when the fire broke out. 1t
was discovered by two little girls, but
before the alarm was given, the barn
was already in flames. Hundreds of
people gathered and by valient eff
forts the ehI hIcken 1npuses and the
house were saved Had it not been
for the tank at the top of the house,
from which water was thrown over
the roof, nothing could have saved it.
One thing that Cedarville sorely needs
is adequate fire fighting apparatus.
The building had not been used for
barn. In it Mr.. Mayhem had SOL
dering outfit, and a large quantity of
canned fruit and vegetables which he
had soldered, which were all con-
sumed, together with a number of
chickens.
Several times during the night, fire
broke out in different places. 1t is
thought that the fire was started by
tramps, as Mr. Mayhem has thought
! before that some one had slept in the
barn.
AS soon as the fire was entirely ex-
tinguished, Mr.. Mayhem left for Cam
den, to break the news to his wife, as
he feared she might hear, as was first
stated, that the house was. burned.
A very interesting union service
was held on Sunday evening at the
Methodist Church under the direction
of the Mems Club. Rev. E. A. Robin
son, of the First NJ e. Church, of
Millville, was the speaker. There
were also short addresses by the pas
tors of the different churches. There
were several musical numbers during
the evening. Among them being solos
by the Messrs Brown, of Millville, a
selection by the male quartette, in
which Mr.. Rudolph Melenric took the
solo part, and a chorus by the choir,
which was composed of men alone.

Baxter Springs news., 1917-11-01

There has been much discus
sion about what prices the Food
Administration can fix. Prices
have been fixed on coal and
wheat by authority conferred by
the Food Control legislation.
Prices have also been fixed on
iron and its products but not
under the Food Control law.
This was done by agreement with
the iron and steel industries and
is voluntary on their part.
The Food Control legislation
confers power on the president TO
fix prices on coal, and if neces-
sary, to buy and sell it. 1t also
confers authority to buy and sell,
and therefore to fix prices on
wheat, flour, meal, beans and po-
tatoes. These are the only arti-
cles over which the president is
given the price fixing power.
The president is given the pow
to license any business Of the
country where the business trans
acted annually exceeds 800, 900.
The power under such license is
conferred to regulate profits in
any line of business but not to
fix prices. Authority is given
over fertilizer and agricultural
implements under the license pro-
vision but the power to fix the
prices is not conferred-only the
the power to regulate profits.
The question is often raised in
regard to the price of live stock,
meats, corn, etc. The Food Ad-
ministration acting for the presi-
dent cannot under the present
law fix prices on these because
the authority is not conferred.
What Ae next Congress might do
do in that line is not known, but
until Congress does act no one
has the power to fix prices on any
commodity except as state ed
above.
The regulation OF profits, which
may be done now in any line of
business, is an entirely different
thing from the fixing Of positive
prices. II will eliminate specula-
ton but il will not prevent high
prices # they are due to causes
other than speculations.

and the other men handling the
sale of the lots are confronted
with little trouble in disposing OF

Ore in Lower Formation

By the discovery of ore in Ga
lena at the 279 foot level recent
ly a new mining era has been
indicated for that city. The
drill cuttings have shown the
presence of a 70 foot face of ore.
The ore was encountered in a
hole drilled on the Brush Wood
Boar mine, south of the city.
Heretofore mining had been
carried on in Galena in forma-
nations nearer the surface. The
new strike may stimulate a new
prospecting campaign for this
district and it may go so far as
opening the old shafts, in which
the shallower form has been ex-
hausted, and sink them deeper in
order to get the lower formation.
