The Ocala Star calls attention to the
fact that since the Americans have
been in the fighting in France we have
not lost as many men as were lost
on one side alone in the battle OF
Gettysburg, With all the internal en-
gines of destruction known to modern
warfare, ones chances of coming
out unscathed seem far better than in
former conflicts. 1t is comforting
thought to those who have loved one
fighting over there-even though Fate
may ordain that that loved one shall
be the one to be called.

To Appoint Food Control
Boards for Preble County

EATON, O., July OBTAINING of a
food price-control board for Preble
county is expected at an early date. A
meeting looking TO this end was held
here recently, but selection of the
board members was deferred. The
board will have four members, with
Stanley Hart, chairman of the county
food administration, as chairman, by
virtue of his office as read of the
county food administration. The other
three members will be selected from
wholesalers, retailers and consumers
of food products. 1t is probable two
members of the board will represent
the retailers, owing to the fact that
there are no wholesalers in the coun-
ty. Retail dealers will receive printed
blanke on which they will enter the
cost and selling prices of their food
stuffs. These will be filed once a week
with the board. From these the board
will determine an equitable selling
price, which, with the cost price, will
be published weekly for the benefit Of
the public.
