PROF|TEERING BY
RETAILER CURBED
GOVERNMENT NOW HAS POWER
TO CUT OFF SUPPLIES FROM
"HoLD-UP" MERCHANTS.
HONEST DEALER IS PROTECTED
Food Administrator Says Only Persis'
tent Violators Of Law Will Be
Hit BY New Order.

Washington-Profite by retail
dealers in foodstuffs is made impossi-
BILE after November 1, the food admin
istration announced Monday, under a
plan to cut off supplies to those not
satisfied with reasonable margins.
Manufacturers, wholesalers and other
handlers of foods, whose businesses
go under license, will not be per-
mitted to sell to distributors who seek
undue profits.
The food administration has at It's
command tables showing wholesale
and retail prices, with cost figures,
in practically every city Of the coun-
try. 1t will be able to determine at
any given time whether any retail
dealer is charging more than he
should.
Will Protect Honest Dealers.
"The food administration does not
intend to disturb any legitimate oper-
atoms and will initiate these measures
against only hardened and persistent
violators," said a statement issued at
Mr.. Hoover's Office.
ut takes the position that the great
majority of food sellers, retail as well
as wholesale, are patriotic and honest
and are making every effort to comply
with good business principles and sell
to the consumer at the lowest posi-
BILE prices.
Such dealers will be protected from
illegitimate competition. Those few
who persist in abusing their opportuni-
ties and taking advantage of the emer.
gency caused by the war will receive
attention"
To Complete Rules Soon.
After quoting the new law on the
subject the statement describes it as
zone of the most sweeping safeguards
against high prices which will be in.
corporated in the licensing system, for
which the complete rules and regula.
lions will be announced within a few
days"
Small retailers of food are exempt
from the licensing provisions of the
food control act, but they are subject
to other sections. No retailer, for in
stance, may make an unreasonable
charge, hoard, monopolize, waste OF
destroy food. Any of these actions
causes his supply to be cut off.
The food administration is confident
this extreme penalty will hold in line
retailers inclined to charge excessive
prices.

LIBERTY LOAN HUGE SUCCESS
First Reports Indicate That Total Has
Passed $4,000, ooo, 900 Mark.

Washington-The Liberty loan APP
parently has passed the $4,000, O00, 900
mark.
A last-day drive of titanic proper
tions throughout the nation rounded
up more than $1,O00,00O,000 and was
lieved to have carried the total sew
eral hundred million dollars beyond
the maximum treasury officials had
hoped for.
Each of the IL districts appears to
have passed its minimum and indi-
cations were that most of them had
exceeded the maximum as we'll.
At least 100000 persons through
out the country wrote their names on
application blanks. How many more
did so will not be known until the
final count. The number may go as
high as 10 900 900.

Russians in Galicia, was exhibited
in the face of the foe, the Italians
surrendering or retreating without
giving battle, pressing the breaking
Of the left wing and thereby offering
easy access to the town of Cividale.
Prior to the falling back, however,
the Italians destroyed all their depots
and stores and Cividale was on fire
when the Austro-Germans entered 1t.
Pressing back the Italians at sew
eral points on Italian soil, the COM
bined enemy forces now have pushed
forward on the Italian left wing and
captured Cividale, lying to the north
east of Udine. In addition, the Aus
trian town of Gorilla, point OF great
strategic value on the Isonzo river,
has been retaken from the Italians.
Possibly the Italians in this re-

be retreating to prepared positions
on the plains, will turn about and

Seffy started. :.
"Yas, that's a little bit lie-mebby

At last it was evident that Seffy
fully understood, and his father broke
into that discordant whistle once more;
"a gal that ken jump slx-rail
fencc-and wissout no running start
don't let her git apast you'll"
"Well, Pm going to set up with her
tonight" said Seffy again, with huge
ahem. And the tune his father whistled
as he opened the door for him sounded d
something like " want to be an angei;;, angel,

CHAPTER Ill.
BUT SALLY WAS THE ANGEL

II took Seffy long time to array him
self as he had threatened. And when
IL was all done you wouldn't have known
him-you wouldn't have cared to know
him. For his fine yellow hair was
changed to an ugly brown by the
patent hair-oil with which he had
dressed it--and you would not have
liked its fragrance, ] trust. Bergamot,
/ think it was. His fine young throat
was Qarroted within starched standing
collar, his feet were pinched in creaking
boots his hands close-gauntleted in
buckskin gloves, and he altogether in
comparable, uncomfortable, and trl-
umphant.
Down stairs his father paced the
floor. watch in hand. From time to
time he would call out the hour, like
a watchman on q minaret. At last:
"Look a-yere, Seffy, it's about two
inches apast sefen-and by the time
YOU git there-say, nefer gif another
Teller chance to git there afore you or
to leave after you'll" -.
Seffy descended at that moment with
his hat pOised in his left hand. =,
His father dropped his watch and
picked it up.
Both stood at gaze for q moment.
"Sunder, Sell You as beautiful as
the sun, moon and stars-and as stlnky
as seferal apothecary shops, Yere, take
the watch and git along-so's you hat

Seffy issued forth to his first con-
quest-hghted as far as the front gate
BY the fat lamp held in his fathers
hand.
aAlSef-Seffy, shall / set up for

the dark.
"Nol" shouted Seffy. -.

never had one.
Sally shivered, then laughed. But
she took herself away from Seffy.
The Pressel temper famed moment,
and certain words began to form in her
mind like "Fool!" and "Go!" and
"Damn!" For, think haven't told
you that Sally sometimes swore-in
extreme circumstances. Her father
had done so.
She spoke with that trifle Of hard
brutality which came out now and then.
"You know what they say at the
store-that / flirt and am not nice in
other ways, and they're right. But !
do want to be nice TO you, though not
sistcr-quite. Ugh And, you know,
one thing they say is true-my temper.
Look out for that! You must always take
time TO forgive me and let me ask
to be forgiven"
Now, / beg to ask you whether an
amende was ever more delicious-con-
sidering that much Of what she said to
and for Seffy was meant to and for
herself alone? Indeed, before she got
through with it, it had affected her
quite as if Seffy had pleaded it, and
her voice sank to its pretty mezzo, then
quivered bit, and she understood that
she was answering herself
"Seffy, | am awfully sorryl"
For what, Sally?" asked Seffy.
Seffy, dull Seffy, really did not know
for what. But there is something
which God gives the dull, as well as
the sprightly-witted, that outleaps words
to comfort sorrow. And this Seffy had
abundantly. 1t first expressed itself
in the strong young arms which again
closed in utter silence upon the sorrow
ing one.
Presently (perhaps you have not for
gotten how it is?) in the same silence,
Seffy's lips found hers-nos as the victor
pounces upon the spoil Of his conquest
but slowly, uncertainty, unconfident-
ly-as il the lips were q saints relics;
and Sally waited not as she had waited
before, but in the knowledge that her
hour had come, and that this kiss
the first this youth had given to woman
since his mother died in his infancy
must not be received as others had
been, but rs sacredly as it came; and
when it finally fell the lips Of the
coquette quivered as they received it,
and then suddenly sobbed, and did not
know why
Do you?
~ have never kissed no one but
mother" said Seffy, who felt heinious,
~ don't know howl don't know what
made me do It'll couldn't help it.
II won't happen again"
Whereat Sally laughed and clung
about Seffy's delighted neck and cried
to his puzzled heart:
"Yes, it will"
And kissed him backl
"Sally," said Seffy with solemnity,
"do you mean it2 You not mad?"
"Seffy," said Sally, ~ am not worth
it. / have been kissed by everybody
who wanted to kiss me-and ] have
kissed everybody i wanted 70 kissl"
~ am sorry for you Sally" said
Seffy, not meaning at all what she
thought he meant-nor anything quite
clear to himself, except that she had
recklessly squandered something pre-
cious.
al am, too, now"

other girl would nave lelJ nope-hhu
Scffy-behind. At that moment, hap
pily, Sam was heard to move. She
put her hand on Seffy's mouth as II
some danger were there. And, Seify,
by sort Of instinct, it must have been,
kissed il!
ooh"
Both Of Sally's hands went up in
real surprise-and Scffy caught and
kissed them bothl
"Oh!-ohl-oh"
She had to stuff her gay little hand
kerchief into her mouth to keep the
Joy within. After all, could this Seily
be playing 'possum? Was he deep?
/ don't know, any more than Sally,
how it all happened-except that per-
haps Seffy discovered himself suddenly
brave in the darkness, and Sally quite
defenseless-b presently her head was
on his shoulder, and his arm was
around her, in quite the way his father
had suggested and Sally had expected.
And neither Of them thought Of him
or q word he had said-concerning
lands, tenements and hereditaments.
Sally's hand crept up insidiously about
Scffy's neck. But then it was fearfully
withdrawn.
"Please don't grease your hair here
after" said Sally. But she kissed it!
Hereafter Hereafterl" Seffy's heart
pounded. 80, :,
"Suppose I'd grease my hair!" said
Sally speciously. -.
The horror coniured up was facti-
tious. Remember where her head was
resting. But an alien element was
now raised between them. Seffy moved
away. Maids should not cavil even
at oiled hair-so early in their court
shipl More fascination was needed
perhaps only soft cooling word.
"You-you wouldn't like that
would you?"-still meekly.
"No!" Seffy answered, puzzled;
"My Sunday coat would git greased!"
"My sleeve didl"
She inspected soilcd sleeve-in the
ray from the hall-which had no spot
OH it! ,r
"I don't care for the sleeve. It'll
wash out. But Sam-he sees every"
She laughed and was about to plunge
recklessly back into his arms. But her
hair pas beautiful! And she had made
it more SO for him! He must see It'll
She plunged further into the ray from
the hall lamp instead and flung it for
ward about her face. 1t chung and
clustered there like an aureole. Seffy,
in his brief life, he thought, had seen
nothing more divine. She looked sau-
cily up at him out Of the top OF her
eyes. His alteration made her very
hannv
hTherc! amt that nicer than yourn?"
She buried her fingers in the splendid
mass, and pushed it into further dis
order until it lay close-shining about
her face.
"Oh, Sally" said seffy, approaching
her as il she were some goddess, wear
it that way alwaysl"
The alien thing was gone! They
were en- rapport once more!
"They'd have me in an asylum in
no time. But"
Somehow, Seify's arms opened to
invite her back and she came with q
low reckless laugh. The wild sheaf Of
her hair lodged again close under his
chin. He recklessly thrust his face
into it. Its perfume in his nostrils and
its movement against his skin was in
effable. He kissed it. Again it was
the strange fashion Of the cavaher-in
those kissesl Where did he learn it,
"Oh, Sally, wear il always sol" he
begged again. And-good heavensl-
be put his lips down upon it once morel
"Just when you come TO see me, T"
murmured Sally to the lapel OF his coat;

Ocala have not been able to do more |
knitting of late for our soldiers. We
understand that hundreds of inquiries |
have been made for obtaining the |
proper yarn, but it is almost impos- |
sible to secure the yarn even for the
Red Cross. There seems to have been
quite controversy as to the women
of the nation devoting so much time
and money to this work, that Score
tary Daniels said it was not needed,
ETC., but positive proof to the con-
trary is noted in the following urgent
request sent out from Washington:
