ALL RETAILERS
ARE CAUTIONED
ABOUT MARGINS
Dealers Must Not Take More Than q
Fair Profit On Goods Over the
Actual Cost To Them-Tag
Articles.

There is complaint in this city that
local retailers charge varying prices
on articles of food to the detriment
Of the consumer. who is sometimes re-
Quired to pay more for butter or eggs
at one place than at another store,
and to correct this condition bulle-
tin has been sent to the food administ-
tration as follows:
Many inquiries are coming in re-
garding the November 7th, 1918 issue
of maximum margins on sale by re-
tailers to consumers, now being cir
culated among the retailers by the
Grocers National Organization.
While some changes in the former
margins have been made, this list like
the former, is to be used only as a
guide to the administrators, and their
price interpreting committees, and to
be regarded as maximum margins to
be used only in extreme cases. Cir
cumstances and conditions prevailing
where prices interpreted are to ap-
ton. That is, where lesser margins
appear fair and equitable, both to
consumer and retailer, a fair profit
margin should be applied.
Conditions in Wisconsin as a rule
do not seem to indicate that the out
side margins should be applied, es-
pecially on the items of wheat flour,
canned vegetables, cheese, butter and
eggs. Careful investigation should
therefore be made by all committees
and the administrator to determine
what margin of profit is fair within
their jurisdiction.
Considerable fluctatiOn in prices
may be looked for within the next
few months, therefore close watch
should be kept to see that retailers do
not take more than a fair profit over
their actual cost.
Blackboards exhibiting cost and
selling prices, or price tags on all Ii
censed articles, must be insisted upon.
Magnus Swenson,
Food Administrator for Wisconsin.
All merchants may have a copy OF
margins allowed by the local price
fixing committee

Very Scarce
In Polk County

Dallas, Or, May 1s.-Although Polk
county has approximately STAT, 600 in
hand for road work, the money is ly-
ing idle for want Of contractors to
prosecute the work contemplated for
this year.
Twenty one bridges in the county
have been condemned because of their
unsafe condition. yet it is only posi-
BILE to secure sufficient help, and that
at an extremely high wage, to render
these structures safe for traffic.
Three weeks ago the county court
advertised for bids for the improve
ment Of 10 miles of road over what is
known as Butler Hill, saving nine
miles in connecting with the main Til
hancock road. Not a single bid was re-
eeived for the work, which would re-
quire the greater part of the summer
to perform. The same is true regard
ing the operation of the eounty's two
rock quarries. Notwithstanding that
the court has made a liberal wage
scale for workmen, it has thus far
been unable to find even a small crew.
Usually a. this season of the year
the county has about $50 men engaged
in road work, while at present there
is only local patch operations under
way.

stances except those of the utmost mr.
gency will persuade General Foch to
exhaust the Americans for defensive
purposes. There is no other force o.
fighters left in the world that contains
such splendid offensive material as the
Americans. This is because America IS
the only first class power left that still
has its young men intact; and It IS
the youths in the twenties who make
the best offensive soldiers. 1t IS I'M
probable, too, that General Moch, would
consent under normal circumstances to
the permanent employment Of these
virile, active, young Americans for de-
fensiye trench warfare. Nor is it likely
he will be agreeable to their employ
ment for a major offensive until there
are enough Americans in France to give
a reasonable surety of success. The bTi-
gading Of Americans during the present
series of combats is an admirable pro-
ccdure for completing their training
1t is futile for soldiers to enter upon
offensive operations with simply a
training in the theory of warfare. Ac-
tual practice is absolutely necessary for
the Americans and this they can get
with maximum results through the bri-
gading method. But, the brigading ~
