takes thousand.
There is no room in this community
for Piker Patriots, for ours is no

If you're that kind you'd better move to some
piker town. You'd better go where you'll have
some piker friends. For our town during the
coming weeks and months is going to be the
lonesomest place on the face of the globe for
Piker Patriots.
If you can't pay cash for your bonds, you can
borrow part of the money at your bank,
using the bonds as security; or you can buy
them at your bank on easy partial payment
plan. 1t is no trouble to buy Liberty Bonds
it is no trouble to pay for them.

OVER 500 FOOD LAW vIoLATORs.
This Covers Period of Ten Months
and Many Pay Penalties.

The national food administration
reports that more than 500 penalties
for violation of rules and regulations
governing licensed dealers in food
stuffs have been imposed during the
past ten months by the food admins
tration. About $50 companies and
individuals have been ordered to quit
business in licensed commodities for
limited or unlimited period, and over
500 have voluntarily made a money
payment, usually to the Red Cross,
or have temporarily abstained from
doing business rather than risk calling
down more drastic penalties upon their
heads.
A vast number of other cases have
been disposed of by federal food ad-
ministrators in the various states and
territories under the authority of, but
without specific appeal to, headquar-
ters at Washington. In a large num-
Der of other cases the desired COM
