That Arkansas patriotism surpasses
the ordinary run Of Oklahoma loyalty
by an easy margin on the first lap is
the opinion Of George Dismukes who
has just returned from a visit to his
home town. Lewisville. The spirit or
enlistment runs rampant there, Dis
mukes reports. and practically all OF
the young men with whom he was for
merly associated have either joined
the ranks or applied for entrance in
the officers training camps
The war atmosphere seems to be
the genuine old time variety and but
few of service age are waiting to be
drafted One clever stunt along the

of Wisconsin, who Is assistant to Food
Controller Hoover. ii statement
made yesterday pointed out the
urgent need for the early passage OF
the Food Control Bill. which gives the
administration the right to regulate
the prices on necessities.
He stated that It was not only In
the matter Of food stuffs that the big
manufacturers and nanipnlators are
fleeing the country. The United
States Steel Corporation last year, TOR
instance, made excess profits OF two
hundred and fifty million dollars
through being able to add to- the sell
ing price Of their produce because Of
the war demands. Tie big packing
houses, also taking advantage Of the
opportunity. had taken IN excess pro-
fits from the consumers at least
twenty-five million dollars.
