Swift & Co. Refer
Case to WASHINGTON

Swift & Co., found guilty by the
local Federal food board of over
charging in eggs, have taken the case
to Washington, where a hearing is to
be held to-day by r. w. Boynton, head
of the food administration bureau of
endorsements.
George Redington, of White G. Case
the concerns counsel, stated last night
before leaving for Washington that it
was not his intention to appear directly
against the local boards decision, but
rather "to state Swift & Cos. side of
the case fairly, so that the food admin
istration may know ALL
Swift & Co. feel that the summing
up of Alan Fox, head of the Food
Boards bureau of licenses, blames
them much more than they deserve"
said Mr.. Redington. "They wish to CO.
operate with the Food Board, not to
oppose it, so this must not be looked
upon as an appeal
The recommendation of the local
board is that Swift & Co. pay $4,000,
the approximate amount of their over
charge, to the Red Cross and that
they do no business in eggs at their
New York branch. Mr.. Redirgton
would not even say whether or not he
would ask that this recommendation
be set aside.
at is not that so much as the neces-
sity for giving the Administration our
side of the case" he said.
Food Administrator Williams denied
yesterday that he knew of Swift 4
Cos. intention. but other Food Board
officers remarked that the adminis-
tration at Washington was tardy in
making up its mind whether or not
to indorse the boards recommendation
Usually, it was pointed out, Washing
ton gives its decision within twenty
four hours.
Swift's contention, it is understood,
will be that they were compelled to
pay y-cight and one-half cents for
their eggs, even after the government
had fixed the price at 45.15 cents, be-
cause Of the scarcity of eggs here.
They argue that they were the victims
of an arbitrary pricefiNing which made
no allowance for supply and demand.
They point out, moreover, that their
profit on the transaction was small

Many New Laws

In order to conserve and fairly dis
tribute the food supply it became nee
essary for the authorities to enact
many laws and adopt many orders and
regulations. Reams of paper were con-
sumed in printing the vast flow Of
them. They were of the most varied
character-laws confiscating grain and
other crops and requiring producers
to turn them over to the proper board;
laws against keeping back supplies and
boarding provisions; laws fixing maxi
mum prices and threatening rigorous
punishment for war-profiteering; laws
forbidding persons to import goods
from abroad; laws against feeding GER
tain farm products to animals: laws
restricting the quantity Of certain sta
pie foods for each person to fixed
amount for each week, with food
card for everybody to make it posi-
bic to control his eating. There were
laws that tried to anticipate and bar
up every possible opening through
which rebellious appetite might seek
its satisfaction.
Everybody knew that these laws were
necessary. The food shortage was
looming up and drawing nearer in such
threatening shape that nobody could
deny the urgent necessity for rigorous
rationing, for confscating supplies and
for carefully outstanding them against
waste or an unfair distribution.

German women have a saying that
the path to mans heart leads through
his stomach. In other words, feed
man we'll, tickle his palate, and you
win his love.
Now, this war has demonstrated the
fact that the German stomach is en-
throned above other things finer than
love. It also holds sway over patriot
ism, and it has no respect whatever for
law. During the many years that
spent in Germany prior to 1914 had
gained the impression that the Ger
mans were remarkably law-abiding
people. Before l came away I had rad
ically changed my mind on that point
The Germans themselves proved that
my Judgment had been premature. had
been observing Germans who had
plenty to eat But the hungry Ger
man proved to be a different man. The
hunger offensive has made him the
greatest lawbreaker of this age. There
is now no country in the world where
crime-mostly, indeed, of a petty char
acter-is so rife as in Germany,

eggs, When the distribution in Berlin
had been cut down to less than one
egg a week for each person some of
us Americans heard of a shop in an
outlying district where eggs could be
bought by the use of password.
PASSWORD for Eggs
The address was handed you on a
caro- by some acquaintance, with the
verbal instruction, "You must saw on
entering the shop 4 come from Herr
RE,osenthal,' and you will get the eggs"
me pr&ce was about Is cents an egg,
which was just double the official
maximum. Sad to tell, even those dear
eggs were largely "duds."
The Berlin newspapers have recently
lamented that the goose has quite van
lshed from the market. There were
very few visible in poulterers' windows
IN the winter of 1851, and | recall
nearing of 500, and even considerably
more, being paid for one goose. Lat
ter!y. however, the authorities have
undertaken, by fixing the price at
ABOUT 81 pound. to prevent the goose
from flying to further height records
of price. Of course, the goose disap-
pear,ed from the vision of the law, but
under the hand" as the Germans say
few rich persons are still getting
geese at from So to $3.50 a pound.
The seller however, operates at con-
siderable risk. The Berlin authorities
announced several weeks ago more
than 100 prosecutions for selling above
the maximum price for geese.

HELPFUL WORDS
From a MinOt Citizen.


Is your back lame and painful?
Does it ache especially after exer.
ton?
Is there soreness in the kidney re-
gion?
These symptoms suggest weak kid

If so there is danger in delay.
Weak kidneys get fast weaker.
Give your trouble prompt attention.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for weak
kidneys.
Your neighbors use and recommend
them.

Mrs. Jackson, TOT Valley St., says:
"I haven't needed kidney medicine

Voyne Cook, the year old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. c. H. Babb, who re-
side south of Williston in Mckenzie
county, accidentally shot himself
while playing with a loaded shotgun
Sunday afternoon. Death was al
most instantaneous and while there
were no eye witnesses to the tragedy,
the story of another brother who was
home at the time. seems to fit the
case exactly Mr.. and Mrs. Babb
had gone over to a neighbours Sunday
afternoon to bring home their daugh-
ter who had been visiting there and
the two Cook boys, the elder aged IL
and Voyne age 8, were left alone in
the house. The Younger brother had
gotten hold of the shotgun but the
older Cook boy took it away from him
and warned him to leave it alone. The
younger boy replied that he had seen
Mr.. Babb take the shells out Of It
and that it was not loaded. He left
the gun alone until his elder brother
went outside and then he took it and
in trying to pull it to him while up
on the bed it was discharged: the
charge striking him full in the chest,
killing him almost instantly. Hear
ing the shot, the elder Cook boy ran
in the house and found Voyne breath
ing his last. His efforts to arouse
him failed, and distracted he started
three times to go to the neighbors,
but each time ran back to the house
unable to decide what to do. The ac-
cident happened about 5 o'clock in
the afternoon and when the Babb
family returned about D. M, they
first learned of the tragedy. The
mother at first not seeing the wound,
thought the boy only to be sleeping,
but she soon saw that life had left
the little body.
