ASK RETAILERS TO
SIGN FOOD PLEDGE
NATIONAL CAMPAIGN TO BRING
100000 MERCHANTS IN THE
COUNTRY INTO LINE.
3,182 BADGERS HAVE CARDS
Object of Pledge Is to Sell to Custom.
ers at a Fair and Moderate
Price With a Reason
able Profit.

Madison - Another important step
in the control of retail food prices In
which Wisconsin is doing its part, has
been taken by the federal food ad-
miuistration in a national campaign
to obtain pledges from all of the AGO.
600 food retailers of the country that
they will maintain fair prices, and
take no more than reasonable profit.
Reports in Washingto at the close
of last week show that 1882 Wiscon-
sin retailers had signed such pledge.
From now on, customers should look
in every food store for the red and
black poster, bearing the seal of the
food administration, which shows that
the merchant has signed the pledge.
The pledge, which appears on the pos
ter, reads as follows.
I'VE pledge ourselvs to give our
customers the benefit of fair and mod
crate prices, selling at no more than
reasonable profit above cost to US"
Before he can obtain this poster,
which is a certificate of membership In
the food administration, the merchant
must sign a record card bearing the
same pledge, which is sent to Wash
ington and placed in the files of the
food administration.
The pledge is voluntary and it is be-
lieved that all merchants will be eager
to sign it, because customers will be
asked to look for it whenever they go
into a store to buy.
No merchant will be allowed to
sign unless he gives the positive as
surance that he will live up to the
pledge, in spirit as well as in letter
If the poster appears in any store
which is not maintaining fair prices,
the state administrator has authority
to remove it and report the same OF
the merchant to the food administra-
tinn in Washington

Battles That Won KINGDOMS.

In the early days of the empires Of
Rome and Greece and Persia the win
ming of decisive battle usually meant
the establishment Of a new king and
sometimes a new country. For when
Octavius defeated the combined fleets
of Antony and Cleopatra at Actium
in 81 B. C. he at once established i'm
periallsm, with all the power in his
own hands. Later, at Philippi, he won
a decisive battle against Brutus and
Cassius and frightened his hold upon
the empire.
