PRICES FIXED
FOR FOODS To
Be SOLD HERE
This SCHEDULE WILL BE REVIS-
ED WEEKLY AND MORE AR
TICLES ADDED - AMERICUS
DEALERS COMPLIMENTED.

New food prices are in effect in
Americas tomorrow, affecting twenty
different items. Next week about ten
other food articles will be added to
the list, and the prices revised re-
vised if there have been any changes
changes in the market.
These prices are fixed by County
Food Administrator Franc Mangums
working in conjunction with his adj
visory committee and committees
from the wholesale and retail grocers.
In the majority of instances the prf~
ces recommended by the grocers we're
adopted, after investigation and COM
parison At these prices, the groc-
ers are allowed a reasonable profit,
in keeping with the profit they have
always made.
There were fifty-fve dealers in groc-
cries present at a meeting held in
Carnegie library Friday afternoon
when the food administrator address
them and explained various phases
Of the law. Numerous questions we're
asked of him by the dealers, who
showed a determined spirit to comply
with the law in all of its details. It
was the manifest purpose of the deal
ers to obey the law and to assist the
food administrator in enforcing it.
Mr. Frank Lanier highly commended
the law, declaring that but for Its
adoption enormous prices would be
prevailing now.
The food administrator stated that
his Investigations had proven that the
grocers of Americas, both wholesale
and retail, were trying to conduct their
businesses along legitimate lines, and
that there had been no attempt to I'M
duly profit at the expense of their
customers.
The new prices show a notable re-
duction in commodities, especially SUI
gar.
The food administrator announces
that next week he will fix a price ON
meats, oysters and fish, and on about
ten or twelve other food items. The
prices paid by the retailer, showing his
exact profit, will also be given.
1t is further planned to extend the
cash-and-carry system to every ar
tjcles sold in the stores, so as to help
the retailer reduce his delivery ex-
pense and boos his cash sales.

UNION CHURCH
MEETINGS Fob
SUNDAY NIGHT
PASTORS OF CITY AGREE TO HELP
COAL SITUATION BY CENTRALLY.
ING SERVICES ON SUNDAY EVEN
INGS.

At meeting of the Protestant Pas
tors association, held Saturday after
noon in the study of the First Baptist
church, it was decided by the pastors
of the city to discontinue the separate
Sunday evening services in the differ
ent churches. and combine their con-
gregations in one great union SER
vice.
The first Of these services will be
held this evening at the Central Bap-
tist church and announcement will be
made from Sunday to Sunday as to
where the services will be held that
night.
Two reasons, specially, led to the
adoption of this plan:
One is that every pound of coal left
in the coal yards will be available
for people who otherwise might suffer,
and the churches want to do their part
towards meeting this need.
Another reason is that the union
services will, doubtless, foster a
brotherly spirit between the denomi-
nations, and the pastors are anxious
that this shall be done
Having, for these reasons, adopted
this plan, the pastors beg permission
Of their people to urge that they at
tend these services, and help in every
way to make them a success.
Special attention, however, is called
to the fact that these union services
will be held only at the evening hour.
Sunday school and morning preach
ing services will be held in the va
rious churches as usual.

WASHINGTON D. c., Jan. 49,
Director General McAdoo was sum-

commerce committee today to explain
the governments administration of the
tations' railroads. He said he was Ger
tain the so-called short lines" would
be released from government opera
ton soon, and said he did not pro-
pose to continue control of unneces-
sary lines, nor have the government
compensate those not taken over for
the probable injury sustained in the
consolidation of the main lines.
Mr. McAdoo said: LAS far as l can
see after three weeks preliminary in
vestigation, don't contemplate TAX
ing over any roads not necessary to
government war purposes, and if some
interests get hurt by it they will have
to stand it. The treasury, already
overburdened, cannot be called upon

AS one of the first moves in cru
SADIE intended to rid Americas of all
undesirables and vagrant negroes,
Chief Olin Johnson has notified three
white men, Tom Bradley, Pete Sim

the city, and all of them have de-
parted. The men were alleged by the
authorities to be undesirable and for
this reason were told to leave. 1t IS
stated all of them are professional
gamblers, but no formal charge was
brought against them here Tom
Bradley, che of the men, was recent

Congestion Being Cleared.

WASHINGTON D. c., Jan 19.-
Reports to the fuel administration to-
day showed transportation congestion
throughout the east is being cleared
and bunker coal is being unloaded in
increasingly large quantities Few
empty cars, however, have yet begun
moving back to the mines. 1t is an
nounced that theatres may be permit
ted to close some other day than Mon

nounced later All laundries were ex-
empted today from the order requir-
ing the consumption of no fuel on
Mondays as we'll as from the ive-d&y
period of fuel saving imposed upon
all industrial plants not engaged n

Business interests today seemed to
feel better about the governments &C
ton. This was testified to by hun
dreds Of kilograms reaching the white
house and the fuel administration Of
fees.
The railroad situation in the middle
west being somewhat easy, it was sug-
gested to Director McAdoo that about
half the passenger trains being operat-

days in order to release locomotives
for handling freight. Coal was report
ed as reaching the seaboard in greater
volume. and homes and public utilities

HOOVER EXPLAINS
PURPOSES 0F LAW
NATIONAL FOOD CONTROLLERS
SAYS THAT ATTACKS ON HIM BY
THE PR0FITEERS HAVE NOT
HURT ANY.

WASHINGTON, an. 1--we have
endeavored to build UP in this country
a basis of confidence and understand
ing between the food Administered
ton and millions of consumers and
producers We have been of mutual
service to each other. I do not
think that attacks made by that ma
jcrity of profiteers, who have been
baked in their pretty schemes to sky
rocket prices, will hurt us any. One
OF the gratifying things about this
jub is the hundreds of letters we re-
ceive from the plain people in which
they not only show that they under
stand what we are trying to do, but
also seek to send along the encourag-
ing word"
The speaker was Herbert Hoover,
United States food administrator, who
has been the object of an "investiga-
ton" by committee headed by Sen
ator Reed.
Reed is the man who nauseated the
country last summer by his repeated
and venomonous attacks upon the man
who for three years fed and acted as
food controller for the ten million
starving Belgian and French people
ground under the heel of the brutal
satraps.
Hoover now has a far harder job
that of trying to save enough to feed
Great Britain, France and Italy, to say
nothing of neutrals like Switzerland,
which it is necessary not to throw into
the arms of Germany.
Hoover, next to President Wilson, Is
81 out the hardest man in Washington
t. interview. I asked him to toss his
modesty into the discard for once be-
cause 1t was important that he speak
a word to the peaople of the country,
lest they be confused by the sound
and fury Claus Spreckles, the Sugar
King, attacking other sugar kings, sue
Gee ling in getting into the Record, I'M
der the benign questioning of Reed.
Hoover refused to draw into any
talk on Spreckles or Reed. He felt the
public should have all sides. But he
was perfectly willing to talk glow
inglv Of the way the American peo-
pie were helping him.
