and let the retailers sell for 27 cents,
giving him the same margin of profit,
and do the same amount of business on
less capital. The retailer is better
off all around on reasonable prices, as
people now buy in smaller quantities,
and as it takes a certain amount to
meet their requirements, this means
smaller profit, and it takes the clerk
just as long to put up one pound as it
would five pounds.
Look at the price of bacon. The
markets have to buy practically all of
it and pay about 40 cents pound
wholesale, all out of the II cent hogs,
when it could be sold at one time for
1917 and IA cents, out of 7 cent hogs.
Who gets all this margin of profit?
Not the retailer, when he pays 40
cents and gets 45 for it.
My theory is money-saving as we'll
as food-saving. Not one of us is vast
ing food, and if the administration
had not carefully concealed their
"main object" when they went before
Congress and induced legislators to
enact law that the food control would
reduce prices and save food and mon
ey, that law would never have been
passed. All it has accomplished so
far is to cut their rations, by letting
their pocketbooks be raided by price
boosters.
I read an article some time ago by
Mr.. Armour, the largest meat packer
in the world. He said they could pay
from $195 to $3.50 for steer. and sell
this same steer to the retailer from
$25 to $50 less, and still make a good
profit on their by-product. That the
hair in a cows ear makes the finest
kind of artists paint brushes, the
bones and horns go to the manufacture
er Of buttons, combs and ornaments
of various kinds. We have on our
farms now over 60,000,000 cattle, near
ly 70,000,000 hogs, and about 50000,-
900 sheep. I am not in favor Of a
meatless day, and don't believe it will
be success, as the meat leaving our
large packers is as regular as clock
work, and we have more meat per cap
ita than we ever had before. The
worst trouble is here, the cut from the
butcher has to be the very best, when
the people could buy cheaper cuts and
save money, and they would be just as
palatable if cooked in the right man.
ner.
There is lot Of truth in the ans
wer of the school boy to the question,
"Is the world round?" "No'm", he
replied. "Is it flat, them" "No'm,"
he said. "Child. are you crazy? If

the teacher. "Pop says it's crooked"

What is Food Control?


So. far, it has manifested itself to
the people of the U. S. as farce. 1t
has not made good, as was the claim
of Mr.. Hoover and his associates and
it does not protect the people from out
fageous prices.
Hoover has urged economy, and
talked much of what he expected to
do, and made an abundance of ex
cuses for not doing it. They have
regulated prices in some respects, such
as the farmer shall not receive less
than 1920 a bushel for his wheat, but
what price are we to pay for flour?
And that is chiefly the purpose of our
food administration-just what price
our manufacturers and dealers ask
Of US is what we have to pay. And
what would we have paid for sugar if
it had not been regulated during our
present shortage? Any price that
they would have asked, and been glad
to get it. But would we have wasted
any, or would it have made the supply
larger? It would have been an easy
matter to have received 2 cents or 8
cents, or even cents a pound more
from the people, in order to get the
sugar. The Hooverising is O. X. as
far as it goes, but it doesn't go far
enough.
The government has allowed the
packers to raise the price of lard to
SO cents a pound wholesale, which
means 40 cents pound retail. Five
years ago the packer paid about Z
cents a pound for hogs and received
about 10 or II cents pound for thei,
lard. But now he is paying about
II cents for hogs and receiving 81
cents for the same lard, from thu
same grade hogs, but does that max,
the supply larger? I think "a cent
wholesale would be plently high now

Christmas Red Cross Membership
Drive in Medina county will meet the
executive committee and all directors
at Sylvester Library, Saturday, Dec.
8, at two o'clock.
Chairman Wightman has appointed
the following committee for Medina
County Junior Red Cross: Mrs. Electa
Hard, Mr.. M. E. Hawk, Miss Clara
Wheatley. Schools desirious of form
ing should confer with this committee.
One school in Seville and one in Me-
dina have so far signifed their readi-
ness to organize. Have you seen the
quilt displayed in N. o. Fuller's win
dow? Boys and girls of three grades
contributed the yarn and knitted the
blocks.
Miss brakes grade, the one which
is ready to organize, has made such
quilt; also one boy rasied six dollars
which they are using to buy yarn for
knitting garments. Most of their
money was gathered from the sale of
old papers and rags. Many ways of
earning money are open to children
with willing hands and feet.
The following letter is received from
little girl in an Oklahoma town:
Dear Red Cross:
I have earned another dollar for
the poor children. have piled up all
the pumpkins, and hauled four loads
of chips, and pulled some weeds for
the pigs and picked up all the scat
tered beans. I am eight years old
today"
"The entire generation in Poland is
facing immediate starvation. The
Red Cross has been asked to furnish
relief by sending food, as was done ir
Belgium. The present donation has
been made with the idea Of extending
sor'e immediate relief. This money
will be furnished the Warsaw Polisl
committee just as soon as this com
mittee gives adequate guarantees tina
the monev so appropriated will not re
suit in releasing food or funds for tn
benefit of Germany. If proper guar
antees can be secured. milk relief fo
infants and small children in Polan
will continue after January 1, 1918"
