TO PREVENT BOARDING
OF THE FEEDING STUFFS

In an effort to prevent boarding of
concentrated and mixed feeding Stuffs
by spectators, the United States Food
Administration has deemed it advisable
to license manufacturers of the deal
ers in commercial feeds for livestock,
cattle and hogs. President Wilson has
issued a proclamation placing the In
dustry under license control on and af-
ter Feb. Is. The Food Administration
declares that boarding of stock feeds
has been more or less prevalent since
the beginning of the war, and has re-
suited in extraordinarily high prices
during the period of scant production.
1t believes that licensing will also pre-
vent the boarding of hay, which has
been practised in some sections of the
country as a result of unusual demands
for the army.
The Food Administration hopes to
stabilize the price of dairy and stock
feeds. Without the license require
ments it was powerless to prevent
many evils which tended to encourage
increased prices. especially near the
large centers Of population, where
dairymen depend almost entirely upon
concentrated 1eedS 1Or milk prOduC-
ton.
1t was upon the advice Of the lead
ing men in the trade that the Food Ad-
ministration asked for the authority
granted by the Presidents proclama-
ton, under power given him by the
Food Control Act OF Congress. Repre-
SentativeS of the feeding stuff indus
try recently met in Washington and
passed a resolution asking the Food
Administration to place all straight
and mixed feeding stuffs under license,
protecting tho fair and honest dealers
against the operations Of q few. lln-
scrupulous manipulators. They APP
pointed a War Service Committee of 40
men from various states to assist the
Food Administration in dealing with
the situation.
All Must Be Licensed
Every manufacturer, importer deal
or, handler. or Storer of about fifty of
the principal ingredients used ex-
tensively in making commercial mixed
feeds is included in the license re-
quirements.
This covers baled hay, shell and ear
corn and many other important COM

c. G. Powell, manager of the
Omaha Automobile Trade associa-

ing of show managers to be held in
Cleveland, O., November rs and 26.
The regular November meeting of
the automobile dealers has been
postponed until Powell returns from
Cleveland. Powell expects to reach
here Thanksgiving day morning,
and the meeting will be called just
as soon thereafter as possible. At
that time the question will be put up
to the automobile dealers, and de-
cision will be reached in regard to
holding an automobile show.
A representative of The Bee called
upon a number of the automobile
dealers this afternoon and found
each dealer interviewed to be in ia
vor of the show.
Will Depend on Situation.
One or two of the dealers felt that
the holding of the show would de-
pend largely upon the material stu
alton and upon later developments.

i'll violation of the federal law and
i'll defiance of the new state law
must learn as early as possible that
it is safer to drive their automo-

ment than to bring liquor into the

owners of machines and those who

through rigid enforcement of the

General Reed in letter to James

vice of the state department as to

it was claimed mortgage was held.
Mr.. Reed holds as follows:
Where the owner of personal
property, mortgaged by him to
another person remains in posses
sion of it after giving the mortgage,
and commits acts in respect to such
property, which work a forfeiture
Of it to the United States, under
the 18th section of the internal
revenue act of March 2, 1867 GA U.
S. Stat. at large, 4SO, it must be
condemned, even though the mort
gagee is not shown to have been
concerned in such acts. !
"Nor can the demand of the mort
gagee be paid by the court out of
the proceeds of the property con-
demned." ."..
