WHAT TIE FARMERS TNINK

Mr. John A. McSparran, Master
Pennsylvania State Grange, states the
argument for keeping drink from mu-
milton workers thus:
AS citizens we farmers are ashamed
of the position we are placed in in the
treatment of our soldier boys with re.
spect to booze The soldier boy has
given up his social life as well as his
business to serve his country, and the
taking of the social glass from the sol
der is frank admission on the part OF
the Government that its effects are
deleterious; but it must be remem
bered that back of every soldier boy
are two other boys, one preparing food
and the other munitions. They do not
have to give up their social life OF
their business, but their failure to
meet the severest test of efficiency
may make the soldier fail, and hence
it is a most cowardly proposition to
take booze from the soldier and allow
the sheltered civilian to cause his
CHASTITY murder on the field of battle
because of lack of supplies.

BEWARE HUN-sPREAD STORIES.

A carefully written story was re-
Gently submitted for publication by
the Canada Food Board, telling how
the morale of the troops was almost
broken this spring by scanty rations.
General Gwatkin came out with an
official statement that the Canadians
had not had their rations reduced by
so much as a pinch of salt since they
landed from the transports The CEN
sorship then started an investigation
to see If some German propaganda
was not stealthily trying to discour-
age the people at home who were
stinting themselves to meet the over
seas demand for meat, wheat, sugar
and fats.
The willy Hun will never miss
chance to start harmful stories of this
sort. One of the cardinal virtues OF
the United States Food Administra-
ton is the fact that it never hesitates
to tell the unvarnished truth without
any attempt to brighten or to hatter.
So every Marylander should be on
guard against tales and rumors which
could work against the Food Admin
istration, and thereby against the
Allied Cause. Don't listen to them,
don't believe them, and above all
don't pass them on.

WON'T ALLOW UdF aiR PnGfiTS
ON VEGETABLE SALES

The Maryland Food Administration
win not tolerate profteering on vege-
tables. But TO catch the culprits is
more difficult than when the offense
takes place in connection with less
perishabIe commodities. The amount
Of spoilage has to be taken into con-
Eideration before 1t can be determined
whether the public is being gouged.
One days sales can hardly afford sufi-
eiens evidence for a prosecution, says
Mr.. W. H. Maltbie, Assistant Food
Administrator for Maryland.
The moment you go into the mat
ter OF vegetable prices, YOU have two
elements OF risk 20 consider. One Of
them is the actual spoilage; the other
IS the fact that the dealer is likely TO
get caught either with stuff that
doesn't hold up or with glutted mar
ket or with low demand. due 10 wealth
or or other conditions. You must go
into the vegetable dealers books for a
period of say three months or six
months and average up his profits il
sou really want to know whether
those profits are excessive. And the
trouble Is that a lot of vegetable deal
ers do not keep books. and hardly
know themselves just how much profit
they have made at the end of the
season.
There is only one direct way /
know of, then, TO handle the matter,
and that is to keep the run of business
Of individual dealers from week to
week or month to month, and If they
are averaging excessive profits penal

avoided his well-meaning pursuers

fell, still flaming. They held him
and extinguished the flames from

on the opposite side of the street at

that he noticed that the rider of the
motorcycle struck a match and held

being filled, he remaining astride

Young man seemed to give no heed.
At a shouted behest he attempted to

against which he struck was rough

effect, and he got up and resumed
his race, the flames streaming out
