DEALERS
GIVEN A
WARNING
Omitted Pres. Leased wireJ

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. G.
Many big food dealers turnout the
U. S. are in imminent danger Of
being put out of business by Food
Administrators Hoover because
they are violating the federal reg
ulations under which they are IL
.censed to operate, It was learned
today.
II was a gentle hint to these
dealers, who do not think Hoover
means business. that the food ad-
ministrator revoked the license OF
the Morris Singer Commission
Co. here for allowing two car
loads Of potatoes to rot on the
track.
The revelation order puts that
firm completely out OF business
until such time as Hoover sees
fit to grant 1t a new license.
The same fate and much harsh
err treatment, including indict-
ments carrying heavy fines and
two year prison terms, hover near
a number of marked food dealers
in various parts of the country IL
they do not change Their tactics,
IL was authoritatively stated.
To give the dealers plenty of
warning. | ; of the worst offenses
reported have been Investigated
by official agents of the food ad-
mlnistration legal department.
Each case was selected and han
died so the dealers of that section
would know exactly what had &C.
CURED. All were given a recital
OF their sins and final warning
The case of Singer was the
first in which public action and
revocation Of license had been en-
ployed.

RAILROADS.&C.
RUN AS UNIT

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6. - The
railroads of the country will be
operating as a unit soon after the
first of the year. Whether they
will be operated under dictator
ship established by railroad men
themselves or under government
control Is yet to be determined.
But sentiment in congress today
made 1t apparent that upon word
from President Wilson, yester-
days recommendation of the In
terstate Commerce Commission
will be acted upon. .
President Wilson today called
Henry C. Hall, of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, for a con-
ference at 3 o'clock.
With the unification of rail-
roads, 1t is believed plans will lbe
developed for greater use OF the
waterways of the country to re-
lieve freight congestion.
The railroads favor self i'm
posed dictatorship. A campaign
for a government loan Of $780,
100000 to the railroads is already
under way.
Interstate commerce committees
of the house and senate will dis
cuss the problem with President
Wilson within a few days. Sena-
tor Newlands, Nevada, chairman
of the senate committee, will see
President Wilson Monday evening.

DECLARATION

Washington Is a menace" Miller
declared. MANY allied diplomats
feel this. Information Of our af-
fairs is daily reaching Berlin"
Hints at Reason
1.-THE Turkish sultan belongs on
the bosom of the German kaiser"
Miller shouted. THE Turks must
live or die with Germany. / hope
they die with her,"
Miller charged THAI failure of
the U. s. to get supplies and funds
and war materials to Italy for
months resulted from the fact
that this country was not q war
with Austria.
Miller however declared his
willingness to accept the presi-
dents decision.
Defends Bulgaria
Intimation that the administra-
tons counsel against Immediately
declaring against Bulgaria and
Turkey is in reality Q play for
time until Americans In these
countries can leave, was given by
Representative Flood.
Flood read to the house an In
terview of yesterday with Bulgar-
ian Minister Paneretoff, in which
the envoy asked that the presi-
dents message to congress be
transmitted to his country.
Flood said there were particu-
larly strong reasons why the U. s.
should remain on friendly terms
with Bulgaria.
Stone For It
In contrast to the situation that
arose when the resolution for war
on Germany was presented, Sena-
tor Stone Of Missouri, Is handling
the declaration against America.
any other nation the president
may suggest now that the U. s.
is In the conflict.
Declaration of war upon Aus
tria will make necessary legisla-
ton to fix the status of hundreds
Of men In the American army who
owe allegiance to Austria. Stone
said today.
Stone referred to Poles, Bohem-
ians and others who, while SUBJ
jects of1Austria, are nov In SYM
pathy with her. Many of these,
Stone said. either volunteered or
were taken into the national army
by the draft.

WE STARTED OUT to raise hundred thousand

If you think you can sell by selling for less
then sell for less but don't fail!''
So Mr.. Merrick and went thru the Diamond
stocks and clipped prices AGAIN. Not everything,
Of course but things that showed signs of tagging.
FOR we have to raise thirty-seven thousand dol
lars in seventeen days.
And here's what we've accomplished:
WE HAVE taken Fancy Diamond Rings that
w were marked to sell at $4,000 to $1,000 and
reduced them to $500.
We have marked Rings that were priced up to-.
$1,000 down to $3.50.

SPEED IN HANDLING CARS
Is URGED BY BAKER
North Dakota Fuel Administrator
Points to Necessity For Rapid
Fire Action.

Bismarck, N. d. Dec. 21.--Atten-
ton to the necessity Of speeding up
car movements is called by Captain
l. p. Baker, federal fuel admini-
strator, in an appeal issued today to
the chairman of each district COM
mittee in North Dakota. Your COM
mittee can be of great service in
urging consignees to unload cars
promptly upon receipt OF Them" says
Captain Baker. "You should give the
matter all possible publicity and
work up public opinion SO that IL
viii become unpopular for any one
10 delay the unloading OF cars, par
ticularly of coal cars, or otherwise
delay car movement.
your committee can also be Of
service by making the committee a
point Of communication between those
who have complaints about car de-
linquencies and the railroad officials
who should correct them. Car users
are sometimes reluctant to make
charges about delay against railroad
men for fear Of unpleasant conse-
quences, and they might be willing
to tell the committee when they
would not complain to the agent
you may find 1t advisable to as
sign a special man for this work,
either a member of the committee
or some specially fitted person. Do
ali in your power to get action in this
matter. Urge the instant unloading
and movement Of cars and work
nights, Sundays and holidays
thing to empty and move coal cars
promptly. Several railroads in North
Dakota are furnishing one car when
three should be furnished simply be-
cause Of hardness and neglect on the
part of car users"
