such institutions in that city.
On May ]. prohibition went into eff
feet. While being n patron of the
drinkeries he was a frequent lodger
with the police enterprises of the city.
After May I, however, he kept out OF
trouble for a considerable length of
time until just recently Tommy con-
ceived the idea OF irrigating. He
couldn't get anything else so he took

hension of the functions Of the
Food Administration. Many peo-
pie seem to think that its prime
object is the regulation of prices.
That is not true. The first con-
sidertion with the Food Admin
istration is the conservation and
equitable distribution of a food
supply inadequate to meet the
normal needs of this great en-
ergency. 1t does stop profeer-
ing. 1t insist upon only fair and
reasonable margins between pro-
ducers and consumers, but except
in these caser of wheat and sugar
it has done no price fixing. AL
though it has brought about a.
greements that have lowered the
the cost of living. The people
shoule never for a moment lose
sight of the prime purpose of the
Food Administration which is
conservation.
