PUBLIC ASSURED
BY GOVERNMENT

, The United States government Thurs
| day ansv cred one of the few argu-
ments Of some housewives against
home food conservation by making food
conservation compulsory on manufac-
turers wholesalers. jobbers and many
retailers of the country's basic food
products. The plan became effective
Nov under Presidential order Com
ing at the height of the food pledge
week campaign. it is considered by
the food administration conclusive
answer to the housewives who have
said:
WHY should I sign the food pledge
TO conserve food in my home when the
manufacturers are wasting IT, specula-
tors are boosting its prices and anti
Americans are boarding it in enor-
nous quantities."
THERE WILL BE NO MORE OF
THAT All the great manufacturers
and wholesalers who have been ac-
cused Of controlling the market are
TODAY forbidden to do business except
Under government license. This includes
those engaged in the import manu-
facture storage and distribution of
the fundamental foodstuffs named. 1t
embraces meat packers, cold storage
warehouses, millers Gamers, eleva-
tors. grain dealers, and retailers doing
3, business Of more than $1,000 a
year.
These dealers have been warned that
any one of them who is found manip-
ulating or specializing in these foods
who boards them, who EFFORTS unreas-
enable profits, or who INDUCES in dis
eliminating practices in handling them
will be subject to a fine Of 81, 900 or two
years in prison. or both HOARDED
FOOD WILL BE SEIZED BY THE
GOVERNMENT.
Conspiracy on the part of the deal
ers to defeat the purpose Of the food
law is punishable by $4,000 fine or two
Years Imprisonment or both.
The government Will watch these
dealers and consider them as patri
otically living up TO the provisions Of
the license unit. by their own acts
they prove that the confidence is mis-
placed. Such cases will be dealt with
summari ly.
No firm in the list can do business
without a government license after
Nov. /. And under the license, each
firm or person licensed must report
what has been going on in his business
since the last report A special legal
department has been organized in tho
food administration to enforce these
regulations.
This, the Food Pledge Week cam
paigners pointed out puts the house
wife. the packer and the dealer in food
en- par in the saving campaign. |
With this distinction, the housewives
are being asked to conserve volun-
tarily the needed war foods. meat. |
wheat. fats and sugar. The packers
and dealers have accepted restrictions !
aimed to adjust exhorbitant prices at |
the source.

TENNIS COURT
EQUIPMENT IS
NEEDED AT ONCE
Training Camps are in Very
Much Need of Rackets,
Balls and Nets.

New York, Oct. 31.-In response tC
an appeal from the war departments
commission IN training camp activi.
ties, Julian S. Myrick, as acting presi-
dent, has addressed a letter to the
members of the United States Ma
tional Lawn Tennis association, urg-
ing them to contribute tennis supplies
for the use Of men in military camps
About 100 tennis courts have been
constructed at several training camps
but no provision is made for their
equipment and their usefulness can
not be realized unless the equipment
is forthcoming at once.
DR.. Joseph E. Raycroft of Prince
ton, who is in charge Of this branch
of the commissions activities, placed
national association with such force
as to enlist their cordial cooperation.
Consequently an appeal is being made
to clubs, n through them to their
members throughout the country, for
gifts of equipment. They are urged
to get together serviceable supplies at
once and forward them to DR.. Ray
croft, who will attend to their distri-
button.
Nets, balls. rackets-these are the
things most wanted" says Mr.. My
rick's letter. Don't discard a lot of
worn-out stuff, but inc the things
your club a do without and put
them to work in the camps. There is
a big need for this equipment and it
is urgent. You may be certain that
anything devoted to this cause will
be wisely used. Make your shipment
to DR.: Joseph E. Raycroft, Princeton,
N. j., and he will see that it is
promptly and properly distributed.
This is a practical job which the gov
eminent requests the national associ-
alton to undertake at once. May
ask that your response be prompt and
ge]nerous?"
The commission on training camp
activities has charge of the athletic
sports in camp and emphasizes their
importance. both for the diversion
they give the men and for the in
creased military efficiency resulting
from sports. Its work has been han
dicapped because of lack of funds and
for this aso an appeal is being
made to the members of the National
Tennis association, to meet an urgent
need.
