slmoleons per each bushel- and
now they're sold by the pound and
II wouldn't be surprisin', by any
manner O. means to walk into a
store and have them priced at so
much per each. Things are goin' up.
Mr.. Editor-used to be that balloons
were the only things that ever went
up, but balloons haven't got any
thing on beans nowadays. Beans
and sugar and ev'y little thing that
goes into the maxim of a square
meal. Mr.. Editor, are aviatin' right

Mr.. editor, and nobody knows what
we got a-comin' to us, nobody

tickets and postage stamps were the
only things that hadn't gone up. but
it's OF now-postage stamps are
aviatin' too and suppose Chau-

Administration has been called to the
wide prevalence throughout the United

some order or recommendation has
been issued from Washington with re-
spect to the sale OF oil and gasoline.
In some places. local automobile deal
ers' associations have even issued cir
culsrs laying down the rule that deal
ers in oils and gasoline must make no

holidays or after 6 p. m. on other days,
and stating ut is now an order from
No such order or Recommendation
has been issued by any governmental
authority or with any governmental
approval. The Fuel Administration has
urged that wasteful practices in the
use OF oil and gasoline shall be stop
ped and all reasonable and proper
OF conservation shall be OBJ
served. No limitations. however, have
been placed upon the sale Of these
products.
It is not intended to interfere in any
way with the activities OF automobile
dealers associations or others who,
after consideration OF the local cOndi-
