TO CUT SUPPLIES OF
RETAIL PROFITEERS
LICENSED WHOLESALERS WILL
NOT BE PERMITTED TO
SELL THAT CLASS.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Beginning
November 1st profteering by retail
dealers in foodstuffs will be made i'm
possible, the food administration an
nounces, under plan to cut off sup
plies to those not satisfied with rea-
sonable margins. Manufacturers,
wholesalers and other handlers o.
foods, whose business will go under
license, will not be permitted to sell
to distributors who seek undue prof
it's. "This," the announcement said,
sis one of the most sweeping safe
guards against high prices which will
be incorporated in the licensing sys-
tenn for which complete rules and
regulations will be made known with
in few days"
Wholesalers and others who con-
tinue to sell to retailers after they
are forbidden to do so will be denied
the right to sell goods under license.
Authority for extending control to
the retailer is cited in the announce
ment as follows:
Small Dealers Affected.
The small retailers of food, of
whom there are several hundred
thousand in the country, while ex-
empt from the licensing provisions
are nevertheless subject to other pro-
visions of the food control act. Every
retailer, as we'll as other handlers of
food, is forbidden under the law to
make any unreasonable charge, to
hoard, to monopolize, waste or de-
stroy food, or to conspire with any
one to restrict the production, dis
tribution or supply, or exact excess
i've prices on any necessities"
Federal food administrators in all
the states will be directed to keep a
watch for, violators and send to tho
food administration the names of re-
tailers asking excessive prices.

WHATS ALL this We
HEAR FROM SAVANNAH?
PROMINENT BANKER WANTS
STATE OF SOUTH GEORGIA
CREATED. HIS REASONS.

SAVANNAH, Ga.-Mr. Jacob S.
Collins, president of the National
Bank of Savannah and of the Ogle-
thorpe Savings and Trust Company,
does not look upon the suggestion,
made at the weekly dinner of the Sa-
vannah Rotary Club last Thursday,
as being at all out of place or unim-
portant He believes it opens up a
subject that is Of deep and vital in
terest to Savannah and South Geor-
gia. He thinks q campaign should
be started looking to the creation of
two states from the present state
of Georgia. He gave the Savannah
Press an interview today, giving his
views on the subject
Good Time For Discussion
Il consider it a very timely topic
for discussion" said Mr. Collins "Of
course it means that if anything is
ever done along this line it will be
only after very lengthy discussion
and very active campaign. But
there is every reason, so far as the
prosperity and development of South
Georgia is concerned.
An Orphan.
Politically everybody recognizes
South Georgia as being an orphan.
She gets nothing except what North
Georgia politicians want to give her.
She is permitted to have nothing that
is desired by the other part of the
safe. You cannot point out a man
in South Georgia who holds really
desirable political office of statewide
Importance The fellows who live
down in Waycross and Valdosta,
Townsville and Savannah, are given
just enough to keep them hungry for
more. They are not fed from the
bounties that fall into the laps Of the
North Georgia fellows.
National Politics.
at is the same way when it comes
to dividing the national political pa
tronage. Where do we stand with the
senators from Georgia? They have
given us nothing at a season when
other sections of the state have been
given, in some instances, even more
than they asked for Isn't it natural
that the senators should look after
the boys in that section of the state
where their political fortunes lie? If
we had an entirely Independent state
running from a line starting about
Muscogee or Bib counties, we would
have people enough to finance and
manage our own affairs. We would
be Just as happy as our friends in
the northern part of the state are
now.
When They Need Us.
GAS it is, when the nation gets in
distress or the state needs money or
the politicians from the northern sec
ton of Georgia need votes we are
courted very devotedly until we de-
liver the goods required. Then we
become political orphans again. 1t
is the same in business. When we
are wanted for our financial influence
we are given the glad hand all round,
but just let someone in South Geor-
gia aspire for something and see
where he gets off.
''In every case where South Geor-
gia has shown its independence Of
North Georgia prosperity has follow
ed for the interest most concerned

Great Part of Expenditures Are
Loans to the Allied Countries.
WASHINGTON, D. C.-Govern-
ment expenditures of $1,000,00O,00
is the record which the month of Oc-
tober has established at the treasury
department. The total, which in
cludes loans to the allies, may exceed
even this huge sum, possibly by
$100,000,000.
Thus far it stands at 1886, 342,387,
with yesterdays spending not includ-
ed. For twenty-three working days
thus far counted it shows average ex-
penditures of approximately $42,-
100000 daily, or almost $4,000 ev-

The increase in the daily expendi-

than it was month ago and is
steadily growing. A 2,000,000,0O0

thus far have reached the total of

scented by loans to the allies. These
loans and the interest upon them are
to be repaid to the government by
the borrowers and therefore do not
represent expenditures.

DEFECTIVE BABE WAS
PERMITTED TO LIVE
Physicians Would Not Follow
Policy Adopted BY Dr..
HaiseIden
UNITED Press Dispatch.I

New York. July 49, Surgeons OPP
Grated here yesterday to save the life
of effectively born infant, notwith-
standing the wish of the father that
the infant should be allowed to die,
and nature thus allowed to correct her
own mistake in her own way. This is
the child of Mr.. and Mrs. J. Levine.
Though large and we'll developed, the
organs of the child were so closely
wedged together in places that they
could not perform their functions
rightly. The father was inclined to the
idea of Dr. Haiselden, that such in
fants should be allowed to die, but
the surgeons, after a consultation,
overruled him, and performed the op-
erations. According to the latest re-
ports, the operation will prove sue
cessful, and the life of the infant will
be saved. and good health will be at
tanned. ~

Court Would Not Permit the
Fellow to Pay Fine
PLYMAT's SHARP TALK
Believes Organization Is in the
Pay Of the German
Government

That the /. w. W. would come and
clean up Mankato was the statement
in the municipal court by Chief of
Police Ario, when he reported on the
behavior of Martin Hede, who was
arrested yesterday. Hede is a
stranger in the city. He was drunk
yesterday and loud and strong in his
I. W. w. declarations. He was seek
ing to enroll members in that organi-
zation. His pockets contained plenty
of the literature of that order.
Hede pleaded guilty to the charge
of being drunk and admitted that he
was believer in the principles of the
]. w. W., but he qualified this with
the statement that he did not believe
in the use of any violence. He de-
MED that he make the remark that
the l. w. w. would come and clean
up Mankato. AS to his soliciting
members, he said he did not have to
admission.
Claimed to Be Citizen.
Hede said he was naturalized citi-
zen of the United States, having taken
out both his first and second papers.

of forty days in the county Jail, after
Hede had pleaded guilty to the charge
of having been drunk. Hede then
asked for permission to change his
plea, but the court would not permit
this. Hede tried hard to get out of
going to Jail, asking if he could not
pay fine. The judge remarked that
Hede was working for an organiza-
ton that in the judges, opinion was
in the employ of the German govern
ment and that it was not safe to
allow such a man to go at large in
the present crisis. A good American
citizen would not be engaged in such
business
Hede said later in the day that he
belonged to the I. w. w., but he de-
MED that that organization had any
connection with the German govern
ment.
He said he was born in the Schles-
wig Holstein country, of Danish par
ents, but under the German flag. He
said he came to America in 1885 and
was full-fiedged citizen in 1891.
Tried to Get In Army.
Tom Cook pleaded guilty today in
the, municipal court to the charge of
having been drunk. He said he came
here from Mount Pleasant, Iowa.
Cook said he had tried to get into
the army twice, but was rejected both
times. The court imposed a fine Of
S. and costs.
George Hawfey also pleaded guilty
to the charge of having been. drunk
A fine of $40 and costs or $13.65 was
imposed.
