ID FIX FOOD PRICES
TO PROTECT CONSUMER
DRASTIC POLICY is NECESSARY
TO PREVENT EXPLOITATION
BY RETAIL PROFITEERS.
EVERY COMMODITY SCARS
ALMOST BEYOND REACH
Federal Administrator Will Now Try
to Regulate the Price of Articles
Used by the Average Citizen. Prof
iteers Must Be Restrained.


iteers Must Be Restrained.
Food prices must be fixed. The con-
sumer, exploited and plucked at ev-
erv turn, must be protected. The
profteer, as much pro-German as
any now informed in Georgia, must be
restrained. Things have come to
such a pass that the poor are unable
to reach the high prices and are suf-
fering. Discomfort is growing, for it
is being realized that the high prices
are unnecessary in most cases and
are higher in all cases than the law
of supply and demand warrants.
Food Administrator Hoover has
been looking into the situation and
action, drastic and prompt, will be
taken.
Food prices have practically dou-
bled since the world war began. Of
fetal figures on staples in the United
States show increases ranging up to
100 per cent. Meat is selling for
nearly twice the 1918 price. Bacon
jumped from 27 to so cents. Lard
has doubled. Corn meal, under heavy
draft as a wheat substitute, was
three cents a pound before the war
1t is seven cents now. Clamor from
the whole world for food has thrown
an unprecedented drain on the Amer
lean pantry Hungry mouths never
had so little food as now. Pocket
books never worked so hard to pay
the grocer's bill.
Prices to Be Fixed.
After a careful study of the whole
situation Mr.. Hoover has come to the
conclusion that a rigid price-fxing
policy must be followed in order to
protect the consumer. Uncontrolled
supply and demand fix prices out of
reach of the poor man, he holds. 1t
means food only for the rich. Enor-
nous purchases by the army and
navy and the allies have overturned
all pre-war conditions. They are
largely blamed for the boosted food
prices.
Every consumer is aware of the
ever-mounting prices. 1t is hardly
necessary to quote figures. But the
figures are interesting. Before the
war bacon retailed at 27 cents
pound, taking the country as an aver
age; it is now SO cents. Lard has
gone in the same period from Is
cents to 80; eggs from "a to A; sir
Ioin steak from 25 to "a; butter from
80 to so; -four from three cents
pound to six cents. All along the line
the same ratio of increase obtains.
The result is that some are not get
ting enough of the common neces-
saries of life on which to live. Hence
the decision of the food administra-
tor to fix prices.

AN EGG BURIED 80 FEET
MATCHES A STRANGE BIRD
Vouched For by Reliable Men, But
You're Not Obliged to Accept 1t.

NORTH HASTINGS, Canada.-H.
J. Dwyer, who was in Madoe recent
ly, relates that while digging a well
at McGary Flats last June they un-
earthed an immense egg, buried in
the sand at depth of 33 feet, and
which measured 10 inches in length.
They laid the egg on the sand and
discovered when they returned from
dinner that it had Matched bird of
unknown species. The bird was teth-
cred near the spot, where it thrived
and grew very rapidly.
At present, Mr.. Dwyer says. it
weighs 259 pounds, and government
officials who have examined it have
been unable to name the species.
The bird is on exhibition in Game

Doctor Anderson has been making

CASLESS SUNDAYS
 IN FULL OPERATION

The Government recently requested that in order to conserve man power the automobile dealers, garages tire and accessory houses, and garages ex- cept strictly for storage, close all day Sunday.
 Through a misunderstanding few gas pumps have continued to do bus- ness on Sunday, but at a conference Friday between the owners or these pumps and the Governments local representatives, the misunderstanding was cleared up, and with one exception every firm in the automobile and al lied lines will remain closed every Sunday hereafter.
 It was decided at the conference Friday that for emergency service only one garage or gasoline station should remain open, and that the various dealers would take turns in this emergency service.
 The suggestion was made that the dealer who remains open give his gross profits on gasoline for the one day to the Red Cross. and it is hoped that the individual dealers will follow this sug- gestion.
 Mir Thomson, of the Auto Speciality Co.,. Mir. Rowland, of the Apache Garage. and MT. Hughes of Smith, Hughes & Go. were appointed by the Government to confer with the othe. dealers and make arrangements for the emergency service. Each week the papers will notify the public where

STRANGE MIRACLES
 WORKED BY NATURE
tLOndon PoSt)

During the heavy and persistent rains which wrought so much havoc amongst all crops in the south of England. in the closing days of July and the opening days of August, it was not possible, owing to the strict censorship on the publication of trust worthy weather information, to com bat effectively the widespread re- newal of the utterly fallacious belief that the storm was caused by the noise of the guns in Flanders. Pro- verbally, drowning persons will clutch at straws and in this case they were being borne away on the flood waters of great storm with nothing more convenient within reach than the roar of monstrous guns to offer as an cX planation of the event.
 Curious suggestions were made by correspondents as to the alleged re- lationship between gun firing and pre- cipitatiOn, not the least curious being the ascription to the Germans of the power of upsetting the British offen sive by producing heavy lnin storms at will-through their success in ex- tracting nitrogen from the atmos- phere. But what is more curious is that all of these gosd people, who are so ready with their explanations when noise and rain chance to coin eide seems to be quie obliviouS of the fact that the tremendous riot of the guns commenced towards the end of April concurrently with the setting in over western Europe of one of the finest and warmest of summers. Even the stupendous roar of the simultan- eous explosion caused by the greatest mining feat in history-the destruc- tion of the Messines ridge-added to the din of thousands of big guns fir ing necessarily. failed to produce any unfavorable effect upon the character of the season.
 For weeks the cannonade was main tained at it's maximum violence, the roar of the guns reaching London and beyond, and it was not until the riot eased off to enable our men to 'go over the top" that the rain came on.
 The meteorological offices having issued the daily weather reports GOV ering the period. it is now possible to see what the conditions were. A glance through the series suffices to show that the deluge was "on all fours" with any number of similar visitations from which various parts of the country have suffered when the whole world was at peace. and

land it took a week to reach Norfolk and the North sea. Rain descended in torrents over our southern counties, and. unlike, the recent storm, it was maintained not for week only, but until the end of October.
 In the first fortnight London re- ceived over six inches of rain (seven times the normal quantity), and by the time the storm had exhausted itself the gauge had registered to- tai of twenty-four inches. that is. the normal for whole year had fallen within four and a half months. Other places in the country round had lar ger quantities, the abnormally swol- len Thames and other rivers bearing eloquent testimony to the intensity of the rainstorm. which had originated in natures absolutely silent labora : tory, where the process is a gentle noiseless distillation. and not a con- certration Of tho rort hidoo"s -ni~"

NO FITTED LINING
Straight Line, 0ne-Piece Frock
for Fall Wear.
Plan Of Construction OF This Dress
Greatly simplifies the Work OF
the Home Dressmaker.

Paris designers have recommended
and introduced the straight-line e
piece frock Of wool fabric, made with
out lining. and American designers
have accepted and approved the gar
ment. Very attractive frocks are
fashioned on these lines for fall, en-
ploying serge or wool jersey. or II Tor
very early fall wear, satin or some OF
the heavy corded silks or silk crepes.
Dresses of this type have much to
commend them. They may be slipped
on very quickly-in fact. some OF the
Paris designers have christened them
"dress-in-a-hurry" frocks. The elimln-
alton Of a fitted lining simplihes the
work of the home dressmaker.
The sketch illustrates a very grace
full smart frock that may be maze
without lining. Either navy serge or
satin may be used for the frock prop
er. with girdle of self-fabric or Of black
velvet, and vest and collar OF white
satin or heavy white crepe. This col
lar may be worn open, or, as the small
sketch indicates, 1t may be buttoned
over so that the throat is covered and
protected.
For the early fall days there is none
smarter than q dress of this type. "A

and correct gloves and shoes com

The back of the dress Is entirely
plain, scant gathers holding 1t In at

and many handsome satin and faille

but women appear to have firmly
placed their seal Of approval upon fur
scarfs and velvet hats, and their in
sistent demand for them compels mil
