in a German dugout and sent home
by his son, Lieut.. Loyal Sewall. which

directed against President Wilson.
The poster is printed in the favor

words-very free, but carrying the
Ideals as follows:
"a German would be disloyal
should he not give Wilson. the devil.

reply which is due him. Therefore,

FOR STATES ATTORNEY

Attorney for the Tenth Judicial Circuit,
consisting of the counties of Polk, DeSoto
and Lee.
am a graduate of John B. Stetson Law
School and have practiced law for ten
years in Polk and DeSoto counties. If
elected to this office, l am convinced that
can save 10 the tax payers of the coun-
ties great deal of money, and to the citi-
zens who are called upon as jurors and
witnesses great deal of time by careful
conscientious and systematic administra
ton of the duties of this office. | am a
candidate of no faction or clique; and, if
you elect me, l will conduct this office
fairly, impartially, efficiently and as Wig
orously as is within my power.
| respectfully solicit the vote of every
citizen in this circuit-D. O. ROGERS.

FOR REPRESENTATIVE

To The Voters of DeSoto County:
| hereby announce as a candidate for
representative to the legislature from De-
Soto County, Florida, before the primary
to be held on the 4th day of June, 1918.
l have in mind a good many issues that
l desire to discuss from time to time dur
ing the campaign. At this time, however,
feel that there are two paramount is
sues that the voters are entitled to know
how l stand upon. These issues are:
First:-the County division question, and
ond:-what is known as the no-fence
law
On these points, / desire to say that |
am, for several good reasons which 1 will
discuss from time to time during the cam
paign, opposed to any division of DeSoto
County by the next legislature.
| am opposed to the laWleSsness that
has cropped out in our County recently in
connection with the cutting of pasture
fences, and / believe the perpetrators of
these acts should be apprehended and Wig
orously prosecuted. On the other hand,
unless II is necessary, / do not believe
that the next legislature should pass q
no-fence law for DeSoto County and
thereby injure the innocent as well as
punish the guilty.
1t will be a year before the next legis-
lature convenes, and in the event no other
fences are cut during that time or during
the session of the legislature, will be OPP
posed to the passage of a no-fence law
On the other hand, If this lawlessness
continues, my best efforts will be to see
that no-fence law is passed for our
County, for lawlessness must be stamped
out, II It takes no-fence law to do it

Florida Not lover the Top"

Sales for the first eleven days OF
May show total of $40, 1928,
worth of War Savings Stamps
were disposed of, while the total
sales, from December 3rd, includ-
ing May 11th., were 81, 109,514.57,
according to statement just Is
sued from the State Directors Of
fee.
This is record sales and indi-
Gates to what proportions the sale
of stamps has grown in Florida,
but as large as it seems, it is far
from sufficient to guarantee the
state absorbing the remainder of
it this year. Sale of stamps up to
date should have been about &c.
100000, and it is for this purpose
of adding a great deal of stimulus
that the drive will be made dur
ing the month of June, culminat-
ing in big pledge day on June
28th, when meetings will be held
in every town and hamlet, not on
ly in Florida, but in the United
States.-GOODE M. GUERRY,

Food Prices Limited

Federal Food Administrator
Braxton Beacham has issued no.
tice to all dealers handling corn
Products and wheat -four substi-
tutes that margins of profit as sug-
gested by the United States Food
Administration must be observed
This means that the price Of corn
meal, grits, hominy, barley -four,
oat meal, oat flakes, and similar
products, rice, ETC., must not be
made extortionate because of the
national necessity for consuming
these foods in greater proportion
in an endeavor to save wheat
-four.
Complaints have been register
ed with. Administrator Beacham,
that in many places these pro-
ducts are being sold at. higher
price than wheat -four, and a sur
vey of conditions shows that none
of the products named should be
that high in price. Mr.. Beacham
has given implicit instructions to
all county food administrators to
Immediately ascertain the whole
sale price of these products, and
in every case where wholesalers
are charging more than the mar
gins allowed them, they will be
called to account.
Likewise the retailer will be
held to strict account for over
charges, or charges above the per-
centage allowed him.
No excuse will be taken for vio-
lations of the margin rulings, no
matter whether it is case of the
dealer having bought on high
market, or whether he is over
stocked. The Food Administra-
ton has pointed out that where
dealers have paid more than the
present price, they run risk of
loss through spoilage in endeavor-
ing to hold stocks at old levels,
and the first loss through reduc-
ing prices is the smallest loss
The whole thing in a nutshell
means that prices must come
down to a proper level. and the
consumer should, in making pur-
chaSes, be sure that he is not pay
ing a price above what is just. All
complaints as to overcharging
should be registered with the
county food administrators or
Food Administrator Beacham at
Orlando, Fla.
