Take Out Your
Federal License
Food Administrator Prescott
Warns Dealers Who Have
No. Complied With Law.

Lansing, Mich, Jan. 28.-Immediate
action " i'll be taken against all persons,
corporations, firms and associations,
who manufacture for sale bread in any
form, ctke, crackers, biscuits, pastry
or other bakery products (excepting
however, those whose consumption OF
any flour and meal i'm the manufacture
of such products is, in the aggregate,
less than ten barrels month"; who fail
to procure federal license. Announce
ment to this effect has been made by
State Food Administrator, Geo. A.
Prescott. This includes hotels, restau-
rants, other public. eating places, and
clubs, who serve bread or other bakery
products of their own baking.
Application for license must be made
to the United States Food Administra-
ton, License Division, on forms pre-
pared by it for that purpose, which
may be obtained on request.
"That every retail dealer Of food
stuffs is just as much under the food
laws as the manufacturer or the whole
saler who does business under license
does not seem to be understood" said
Mr.. Prescott.
The State Food Administrator says
certain merchants do not appreciate
the fact that the United States is at war
and that the war must be won by food
conservation and economy of prices.
He asserts that there are certain ex-
amples of actual profiteering and
warns dealers that these cases will be
handled, if necessary, with promptness
and severity.
"The Food Law includes all foods, "
says Food Administrator Prescott.
Certain fundamental products, how
ever, have been selected by the gov
ernment at this time for careful watch
ing from the producer to the consumer.
1t is especially necessary that certain
fundamentals go to the public at a
reasonable figure to prevent our peo-
pie becoming unhappy and discomfort
ed with food prices" he said.
Any person who, without license,
or whose license shall have been re-
voked, knowingly engages in or carries
on any business for which license is
required by the Food Administration
shall upon conviction, be punished by
a fine not exceeding $1,000 or by i'm
prisonment for not more than two
years, or both.
From information received at the
Food Administration headquarters here
it is evident that only few Michigan
hotel and cafe proprietors have applied
for their licenses, but they must secure
licenses il they intend TO continue in
business.

UNCLE SAM
NEEDS INSPECTORS.

Today East Jordan is called upon by
the Chicago Inspection Section of the
Equipment Division, United States
Signal Corps, to list all technically
qualified men, capable and willing to
act as expert inspectors Of the Signal
Corps equipment.
Mr.. l.. g. Balch, address, East Jor-

has received a notification from the
War Department, together with appli-
cation blanks and all information con-
corning this opportunity for service.
This section of the War Department
is really a vast engineering body organi-
zed to conduct inspections Of Signal
Corps Equipment during manufacture
so as to maintain the high standard de.
manded for our troops. The import.
ance Of this expert work cannot be
over-estimated.

DEMONSTRATIONS SHOW
VALUE OF CULLING
FLOCKS OF POULTRY.
M. A. c. Proves Selected Hens
Lay Heavily. While CuIIs
Lay Little.

East Lansing, Mich, Jan. pa num-
Der Of demonstrations intended to
prove to the farmers of Michigan that
flocks of hens which hitherto have
been source OF loss can by proper
culling be made over into flocks that
will more than pay for their keep, are
being conducted by the department of
poultry husbandry of the Michigan
Agricultural Csllege in many parts OF
the state.
Reports on the results OF this work
in some communities have already
come in. The outcome Of the test on
the farm of Charles Greve, near Law
renee, in Van Buren County, is typical
Of these. In this case, Mr. Greve's
flock Of 27S Rhode Island Reds was
divided by the demonstrator-the poul-
try extension man from the college
into three classes. In the first of these
was placed those fowls which by their
conformation and other characteristics
indicated ability to yield profit, in the
second class were placed those fowls
which it was expected would break
about even, while in the third class
were placed the culls, or those which
could not be kept at profit.
The birds in all three flocks. were
then kept under indentical conditions
and given the same feed and manage
ment, with these results: The SO
females in class No. ! produced during
the period OF the trial from 10 to 81
eggs daily, the 81 females in class No.
2 produced an average of to 6 eggs
daily, while the culls, or the 13l birds
in class No. 3 produced no eggs at all.
One of the outcomes of the demon
strations in those communities where
they have been completed, has been
the general adoption of culling by
individuals who have become con-
vinced of the necessity for wedding out
the non-producersi in their flocks.
Where assistance in this work is de.
sired, it can be had, according to an-
nouncement from the college, by
applying to the department Of poultry
husbandry, in East Lansing

GUARDING AGAINST SABOTAGE
The lives of our whole fighting for
ces depend upon the perfect and ade-
quate production of all signal equip
ment, including airplanes and radio
telephone and telegraph systems.
There is probably no place were defect
in material would bring greater disaster
than in an airplane, or in the equip
ment which transmits orders for ad-
vances or reinforcements or directs the
artillery fire of our fighting forces.
Production must be speeded up SO that
our armies can be equipped with every
technical instrument that will help save
the lives OF our soldiers.
THE KIND OF MEN WANTED.
The Signal Corps is looking for the
type of men who are technically and
practically trained along mechanical,
electrical, wood working and textile
lines. There is no age limit to men
who will do this inspection, although
older men with the greatest practical
experience will be given preference.
Inspectors retain their civilian status,
receiving salaries ranging from 1920. 90
to $lSO0.00 per year.
Application blanks and information
may be had from MIR. L. G. Balch,
Local Branch Chairman OF the Military
Training Camps Association.
