NOLET UP NOW,
SAYS ELDER
No Relaxation Of Food Admfnistra-
tion in Any Direction Until 1t
Ceases to Exist With
Peace Treaty.

There is no truth in the state
ment that the United States food
administration is to be transferred
to the United States department OF
agriculture; the food administration
will last by law until legal peace Is
declared by the president. 1t will
then automatically dissolve, except
as to obligations entered upon, and
these must and will be discharged,
either by the food administration or
by assigning them to other depart
ments of the government. In the
meantime the food administration
does not intend to relax its efforts
in any direction" said J. F. Elder,
Lee county administrator, today.
The food administration considers
that the food control law as at pres
ent framed is purely a war measure,
and that its major provisions have
no place in the country except to
serve war ends. Whatever congress
may decide as to continuation after
peace of any of the measures now in
force must be a matter of special
legislation. and the particular depart
ment that is TO continue them VIII
no doubt be determined at that time.
The food administration, in its
function of feeding people abroad,
has a larger burden after armfstics
than before. and this burden will
continue until next harvest. There
are 1S0.000,00O victims of the Huns
to be fed There will be plenty Of
time between armistice and peace to
determine what measures must be
continued through the reconstruc-
ton period.

Attended.

Keokuk chapter, Daughters of the
American Revolution, at it's meeting
Saturday afternoon, received into
membership three women from out
,of the city who chose to join Keokuk
chapter in preference to the one in
their home city.
The association of relatives and
longtime friends caused the enroll
ment here of Mrs Inez McCrary Nc
Spadden, of East Orange, N. j., Mrs.
Ray Brownell of HALEY, Idaho, and
Miss Ruth Hamill, of ST. Louis.
The meeting was held at the home
Of the chapter regent, Mrs. William
G. Blood, PA Fulton terrace, and was
largely attended.
Mrs. Blood spoke of the victorious
close of the war, and the chapter
sang the long meter doxology as the
best mode of expressing it's feeling.
Mrs. Robert NJ. Lapsley spoke on
the terms of the armistice and on
the united spirit of the allies both
in time of war and in victory. She
paid very high tribute to the states
manship of President Wilson and
quoted Lloyd-George in his estimate
of the president as the allies spokes.

Women In the World War.
Mrs. Ezra Butler Newcomb spoke
on what women did to win the war
She said that in the organized effort
in France there are $4,000 American
women at work, and that the army
of conservation included almost ev'
cry American woman. She enumer
ated some Of the Y. w. c. A. activi
ties and called on Miss Anna J. Gage
to speak especially of the hostess
house and what 1t means to the sol
der. Mrs Newcomb said, mo
words can express what the mothers
of America have done to win the
war. and we can only give them our
silent homage"
The regent called to mind thai
since the last meeting of the chap
ter, two members had died, Mrs. Syl
vester Carter and Mrs. John w

His Story of Being in Hospital with
Blinded Eyes When His Leave
Expired Turns Out Pure
Buncombe.
GONE NEARLY A MONTH
Hc Should Have Reported to His Com
pany Back in October When He
Was Here In Town, Well
and Hearty.

The documentary evidence discloses
that Private Charles Griffin can hold
his own in almost any army camp
telling stories to the marines.
He insisted that his leave expired
Thursday, November 7, when he was
in a hospital blinded by an acid acct
dent which accident accounted for his
overstaying his leave and being ar
rested as a deserter.
Before he left town Sergeant C. G.
Weides exhibited the written order
giving Griffin leave of absence from
Camp Dodge from September to Octo-
Der 20. On this latter date, when he
should have returned to Camp Dodge,
Griffin was at home here in Keokuk,
sound hearty and entirely able to re-
turn to his company at Des Moines.
He Had 1t all the Time.
Sergeant Weides found the written
leave order at the home of Griffin
here in his suit case, with his other
army papers. actually in Griffin's pos
session when it expired and he should
have gone back to Camp Dodge.
Griffin told The Gate City that the
paper was there, and if he could get
out of Jail he could get it and show it
to prove that his leave expired No
vember z, while he was in the hospi-
tai
Sergeant Weides got to it first with
Chief Henneman and showed it to
Henneman to prove the opposite from
Griffin's hard luck story, which
caused much sympathy here and much
trouble to be taken by Miss Laura
Alton. chairman Of the home service
department of the Red Cross.
Griffin faces severe penalty for
desertion in time of war with a death
sentence as the extreme punishment
which may be allotted him. He will be
/, tried by court martial soon

Avoid It's Dangerous Stage.
There is a more serious stage of
Catarrh than the annoyance caused
ny the stopped-up air passages, and
the hawking and splitting and other
distasteful features.
The real danger comes from the
tendency of the disease to continue
IT'S course downward until the lungs
become affected, and then dreaded
consumption is on your path. Your
own experience has taught you that

Shifting the Load

n RIDERS have been issued by the war IN
~ dustries board prohibiting the location
Of any furthec war industries in the con-
gested areas tho East and serving notice on
the country that all future Development must
take place in the South and West. This, of
course means tn:,t the South is to profit
mora largely by this governments a. nn for
the very obvious reason that the South has
the transportation. the raw materials, the
fuel. tho labor and the great advantage OF
closer proximity to Europe.
Many months ago the government recog-
nized the necessity OF relieving traffic con-
ditions in the North and East Because Of
the enormous troop movements, the growing
volume of munitions and supplies destined
for France and crowded condition OF the
Northern harbors, embargoes had to be laid
from time to time Gripping not only war
shipments, but seriously retarding domestic
industry. With this experience before it.
the food administration gave orders that all
food supplies for the allies must be routed
to Southern ports. except where it was alb
solutely impracticable
About the same time the Shipping Board
realized the advantage from many stand
points of developing the shipbuilding indus
try of the South, and announced that no
more new yards would be allowed in the
North. This policy has resulted in scores of
new shinbuildng plants along the South At
lantic and Gulf coasts. Now the government
announces that no new enterprises OF anS
sort. whether essential or nonessential, will
be permitted to establish themselves in the
North.
The opportunity thus offered the South is
so far-reaching almost to challenge the
imagination. 1t means that while the war
lasts the billions Of dollars which must be
invested in expanding industry will look 10
the South, provided the South opens its arms
to it. There is much for the South to do
on its part This great section must not sit
in idleness and expect this business to thrust
itself upon Southern hospitality Some eff
fort must be made to capitalize the oppor-
tunity which the government offers Every
city must AXE stock of its assets of its adj
vantaEes and Of its equipment. then present
its case to the government. Unle-s this is
dcne we will wake up one day to find that
the West, which still remains our competitor
has overcome its manifest disadvantages in
plausible argument and has captured in
dustries which by every right should belong
to this section.
Once the South has come into its own as
an industrial section, it will hold iti own
aEailG; any other section CT the country
The order which the war industries board
has issued is war measure, but the effect
Of it will be felt for many decades after the
war is over.
