BOARDING AND PRoFITEERlNG
Dealer Should Not Hold or Contract
for More Than Reasonable Re
quirements of Trade.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
To sell farm equipment on the basis
of what it would cost the dealer to
replace it may be considered profiteer-
ing, according to a statement issued
recently by the Office of farm equip
ment control of the United States de-
partment of agriculture.
Persons who have sold equipment
at replacement values when costs were
high must continue to do so If prices
go down, even though such sales bring
less than the original cost price of
the stock. Moreover, those whose sell
ing price is fixed in relation to high
replacement prices must restock i'm
mediately and carry the same quantity
Of equipment throughout the high
Price period as they had at its begin
ming, in order not to profiteer. Those
who desire to sell out without replac-
ing their stock should not sell at a
prevailing high price, but at cost plus
fair usual profit.
It will be considered boarding If
manufacturer or dealer holds, con-
tracts for, or arranges for more equip
ment than the reasonable demands Of
his business require. Dealers finding
themselves with excess stock on hand
through inadvertence should sell their
excess holdings at cost plus fair
usual profit.
The boarding Of farm equipment Is
defined by the act Of congress Of Au-
gust 10, 1917. Manufacturers OF. deal
ers who hoard will be dealt with un-
der the terms Of this act of congress
and not under the ruling. as to replace
ment values just issued by the equip
ment control Office.

Others are bilious. Life Is a burden to
multitudes Of dyspeptics. Severe head
ache, extreme nervousness, insomnia,

Sometimes these people are downright
sick. More frequently they are just

Nearly always they resort to medicines
OF one kind or another in the hope OF
getting back their health and strength.
And nearly always they are disappoint-
ed. because medicines don't build strength
unless they set the stomach free from
acidity, allowing it to take full strength
out Of the food eaten.
What Is 1t that causes teeth to decay?
Dentists say-acid mouth-that the acid
formed by the fermentation of small
particles Of food lodged in the teeth is
powerful enough to eat right through

IF there is no roof under which to

country not only during the war but

BARBERRY AIDS WHEAT RUST
Proof Of Close Relationship Of Disease
on Common Shrub and Cereals
Seen In Indiana.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Further proof that there is close
relationship between the rust of bar
berries and of wheat and other GER
eals has resulted in active campaigns
to eradicate the shrub in many COM
munities. Two rather striking cases of
this close relationship were observed
recently in Indiana. In one locality
field Of wheat, along one side of which
grew barberry hedge, was practical
" destroyed by the black stem rust.
The case was SO clear that II farm
ers held field observation day under
the guidance Of the county agent and
Immediately drew up resolutions, in
which they stated that the relation was
SO clear that they wished to go on
record as favoring legislation to Grad
icate all barberry bushes from the
state. In another case hedge Of bar
berry and two deep paintings were
found on q farm upon which wheat
field was SO badly affected that the
crop was partial failure. A second
field near by was very seriously affect
ed also, as well as number of fields
In the vicinity. Similar cases have
been observed in a number Of other
states, and public sentiment favoring
the eradication Of the common bar
berry is growing rapidly. It is said
that Japanese barberry does not har-
Dor the wheat rust.

The cost Of machinery and imple-

pare now to protect implements and
machinery from exposure during the
coming winter. As far as possible all
implements should be placed under
dry shed. Woodwork should be paint
ed and all exposed iron and steel
parts should be either painted or COW

of expectancy among both unofficial

Marshal Foch is preparing for new
