river were strewn with dead and
dying while hundreds Of bodies
were carried down in the current

tanned heavier losses.

WEEKLY NEWS LETTER.

The Food Administrator for
Louisiana recently took the first
drastic action in the matter of
proiiteering in this state. One OF
the leading wholesale grocery
firms in New Orleans made resti
tuition to a number OF patrons in
the country and also paid a fine of
81 900, the money being sent to
the American Red Cross Society.
The United States Food Admin
istration announced that the
clemency shown in this case was
not to be taken as a precedent.
Protiteering is one OF the most SO
rlOus crimes on the food calendar,
and will be dealt with accordingly.
The license Of any concerns found
guilty will be taken away, which
means that the concern and all its
members will be prohibited, Oh
rectly or indirectly, from dong
business in food commodities dur
ing the war, or during the time
specified, if the sentence happens
to be suspension. The concern
will have to post the news OF Its
own demise upon it's doors, and
the publicity will further assist at
the obsequies.
In this instance mentioned, the
Fl M had exacted an unreasonable
profit on corn products. A mum
Der OF firms in the county, upon
receiving the order concerning the
substitutes for flour, complained
that the regulation had been made
more difficult to carry out by the
rise in price of the substitutes
J. Nj. Wilzln, volunteer Assistant
TO John NJ. Parker, Food Admins
TRAITOR for Louisiana, called upon
the various wholesale establish
meDts I'D the city for records of
their sales. 1t was found that
one ti,m had charged considerable
more for corn products than any
bother, and it was promptly called
upon for an explanation regarding
the difference.
The head of the firm made some
excuses which showed his own ig
Dorance of what had been, but 1t
did not remove the fact that the
act had been committed. lie
pleaded guilty without putting the
Food Administration to the neces
sity of holding hearing, offered
to return the overcharges to all
buyers and to contribute III, 900 to
the Red Cross. ln return, he
ask ed that the name of the fl m be
not published. The tender was
laid before Mr.. Hoover, at Wash
iDgton, and he approved the yer
dict and punishment because of
the willingness and promptness
with which the firm had made
amends. He advised, however,
that no such concession will again
be made, and that those who take
advantage of the war and it's op
pOrtunities TO increase profits
above the normal would feel the
full power Of the Food Admins
| tratiOn.
