WARNINGl

A very slick swindling scheme
has come to the attention of the
Food Administrator Stratton d.
Brooks. One man goes around
thru a community spreading the
rumor that the government in
tends to confiscate a portion of
the canned goods in each house
hold. A day or two later a con-
federate of this party appears
and offers to buy this product at
\ very low price.
The community is warned
against these particular swind-
ers. The government has no in
tentiOn whatever of confscating
or purchasing any of the goods
sanned by the housewives, but
on the other hand urges every
one to increase, up to the limit
of this ability to consume, the
canning of all perishable pro-
ducts.-Beaver Democrat.
