WHEAT PROFIT SCHEDULE
As Arranged by the Federal Food Ad-
ministrator for Vermont.

| St Adams, May T. -- The following
| profit schedule for retail dealers in wheat
mill feeds have been promulgated by the
| United States food administration for
Vermont. At the offices of the state food
administration it was pointed out that
this schedule is the maximum and does
not justify charges in any particular
case in excess of those eustomarily
charged where lower charges will insure
a reasonable profit.
The state administration also made il
plain to-day that these profits are to be
based upon what the feed actually cost
the retailer at the time of purchase and
that no retailer can base his charge TO
the consumer on the replacement value
of the feed sold
The schedule in effect in Vermont is
as follows:
A retail dealer shall in no case make
more than a reasonable profit, and in
no case shall he charge more for wheat
mill feeds in original packages than the
margin prescribed below over the deliv-
cred cost to him of the particular wheat
mill feed sold.
~ Where one or more farmers pur.
chase in advance of delivery in full car
loads, take delivery at car and pay cash
when retail dealer is required to meet
sight draft, Sl.00 per ton, plus demur
rage if any.
~ Where one or more farmers pur
chase in advance of delivery in full car
loads, take delivery at car and pay for
il on delivery, $3.50 per ton, plus demur-
rage if any.
81 Where farmer purchases and takes
delivery at car and pays for ii on dely-
cry in ton lots or more but less than
car lots, $500 per ton.
a. Where farmer purchases and takes
delivery at car and pays for it on deliv-
cry in lots less than one ton, $3.50 per
ton.
81 Sale ex-warehouse in lots of one
ton or more, $500 per ton.
(6l Sale eX-warehouse in lots of less
than one ton, $500 per ton.
a. One dollar may be added to the
margins when sale is made on
credit, or at dealers option the legal
rate of interest may be charged
The United States food administration
suggests that il may be practicable to
provide further that 800 BE- deducted |
from the margins prescribed in and 8 |
when the retailer buys on credit and the |
iobber's margin is thereby increased /

Cuban Loyalty.

Cuba has apparently lost no oppor
| tunity TO prove her loyalty to the cause
of the allied nations. She made her dec
| laration of hostilities on the day follow
| ing the entrance of the United States
into the war. Her controlling motive
was her thorough approval of the stand
taken by this country. With the plight
of the small nations of Europe before
! her, she could easily have insisted upon
being neutral, saying that there was no
| place for her in a struggle among giants.
She did not hesitate in the course that
she should take then and she has re-
fused since to remain mere passive
spectator.
One of her first steps was to seize all
the ships of the enemy nation and to
turn them over to the United States for
use by the allies. The vessels that she
had she has been using in the patrol of
the Caribbean and the army that she
had she offered for service in Europe.
She has raised funds for the Red Cross
and she has been training men for avia-
ton service in the allied armies.
One OF her most recent proposals was
to increase the American merchant ma
rine by the addition of a feet of steel
freighters to be built in Cuba. Another
evidence of her activity was the de
spatch to this country of nearly 1000,
600 pounds of sugar, a record cargo from
the island In the production of sugar
the allies said Cuba could unquestion
ably render them great service. In re
Spouse to this the island undertook to
beat all of its former marks in bumper
crops. The success of her efforts is at
tested by this record shipment, as well
as by the statement that great quaint
ties OF sugar remain at Cuban ports
awaiting cargo space.
In the meantime the trade between
this country and Cuba has increased UNI

VALLEY PEOPLE
HEAR HERO TALK

While no soldier seeing actual serv-
ice in France, has yet visited this
county to relate his experiences, al
though other Nevada counties have
been thus favored, large number of
Carson Val'ey people camping at
Lake Tahoe, enjoyed the privilege of
hearing private Alfred Buekland, of
the Pricess Pat Battalion of Canada,
relate his experiences at the front in
the early. days of this war He is
sent out by the War Savings Stamp
committee of Northern California, to
stimulate the sale of war stamps, and
after a brief talk in behalf of the
war stamps, he deyotes an hour to
his experiences In the thick of battle.
You may read the most graphic &C
counts of war by fluent writer's but
the words of printed page cannot
agd do not carry the interest as do
the words as they fall from the lips
of one of these war heros. The
Pricess Pats composed 1850 men.
They were victims of the very first
gas attack sent over by the Germans.
OF that number but 80 odd men and
one officer survived. The hall at
Bijou was crowded with campers,
from many states and the experiences
of Mr.. Buckland as related by him,
was the talk of the town. After the
speaking Mr.. Buckland related to the
men many atrocities that had come
to his personal knowledge.

VIM. KEARNEY
FOR GOVERNOR

In this issue will be found the po-
litical announcement of William
Kearney, who seeks the Republican
for Governor of Nevada.
Mr.. Kearney Is Nevedan, gradu-
ate of the University of Nevada, and
who for seven years held the Office of
State Engineer. Since leaving that
office he has been practicing law at
Reno. While acting as State Engineer
he was brought into close touch with
the agricultural needs of this great
state, and otherwise made acquainted
with the resources of the State which
he now seeks to guide from the office
of Governor
Mr.. Kearney's friends feel that he
has more that a equal chance to Sc
cure the Republican nomination at
the coming primaries, from the fact
that he is we'll and favorable known In
practically all part of the state.
