Believes in the kissing Test.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I believe that young man
should attempt to kiss a girl that
he goes with for this reason: IT
is an acknowledged fact that at
least one-fourth OF the girls will
let a young man kiss them. Now.
IL a man does not try to kiss a
girl how in the world is he to
know whether she is the kind that
kisses all the boys? After a young
man has tried and found out that
she Is not the kissing sort, he, OF
course, will think more of her. For
this reason / do not think that a
girl should get mad with a boy for
attempting to kiss her. she should
merely show him that she is not
that sort. The right sort OF fell
low will then stop trying to kiss
her.

RETURN EXCESS FLOUR.

h following appeal to the people
Of South Dakota to return excess -four
to mills, merchants, jobbers and ele
vators, so that it will be available for
government use, was issued by Mr..
Herreid, May 20:
To the People of South Dakota:
The wal is approaching a crisis.
Our government is calling for increas-
ed devotion, for greater sacrifices.
Mr.. Hoover says: eff we are to
satisfy the minimum wheat require.
ments of our armies and the Allies
and suffering millions in the allied
countries, u consumption of wheat
in the United States, until the next
harvest, must be reduced to approx
mately one-third normal. 1t is incon-
conceivable that we should fail in this
crisis
South Dakota is ready and anxious
to meet the test of obedience and
loyalty. I therefore hereby call upon
the people to instantly respond to the
following requirements:
Excepting children, the aged and in
valids, working people" are urged to
limit their consumption of wheat
flour to six pounds per person per
month and all who are engaged in the
less vigorous avocations, are urged to
abstain entirely from the use OF
wheat products until next harvest.
Therefore, in the name of our gov
eminent, l hereby call upon every one
within our state, having at this date
wheat -four in excess of "a pounds for
each member of the household, (irst
having set aside a reasonably sui
ficient quantity for children, the aged
and invalids), at once, each n in
his own way, to deliver such surplus
flour to the mills, merchants, jobbers
or elevators handling flour. Sell the
-four and close the transaction (accept
due bills, if necessary and make it
available for the trade and consump-
ton. II you can not do so, store it
n IN either case, report the facts
(date, quantity, to whom sold, etc.)
to me fer record, or adjustment and
such action as the circumstances re.
quire.
This plan obviously does not apply
to proprietors of hotels, restaurants
or storehouses, who are under special
regulations.
Every county chairman, member of
any state committee and every local
committeeman is required to assist in
every way for the success of this plan
which contemplates a pledged food

FIXING or PRICES
FOR FLOUR URGED
Trade Commission Report Shows
Large Profits for Mills In
War Years.

That the long-sought reduction in
the price of flour may soon be an &C
complished fact was indicated in the.
recent report Of the Federal Trade
Commission. The most important part
OF this report, aside from showing I'M
reasonable profits to millers for the
last five years, is the expression Of
opinion that maximum prices of flour
might be established" This impend-
ing change will be of great benefit to
the farmers who have been compelled
to sell their wheat at a reduced gov
ernment figure and buy back the flour
at prices that included excessive pro-
fits to the millers.
The gross profits to car lot jobbers
have been fixed at 25 cents a barrel
and that Of small lot distributors at
80 to IS cents. The fixing of prices at
the mill would make the chain COM
plete to the retailer or baker, and, as
the report says. the standardization OF
war flour" orders makes the fixing
OF -four prices much easier.
With a fixed price set in fairness
to the consuming public and calculat-
ed to yield the efficient mills 6 to 8
per cent On actual investment, the mil
lers would be in no worse position
than the wheat farmers since Septem-
Der /, 1917, when the farmers had to
sell at q fixed price which in many
sections Of the country meant actual
loss. ss
MilIers Made Huge Profits.
A significant part Of the report is
that dealing with millers' profits. Al
though presumably depending on fig
Tres furnished by the milling compan-
les, the Trade Commission found in a
study OF 1913 mills that their average
net profits In the fiscal year 1916-1917
was So cents q barrel and 31.S per
cent on the investment. In the pre-
ceding year the profit had been 10
cents q barrel and15.13per cent On the
investment. In the spring and SUM-
ymer OF 1917 actual mill profits per
barrel Of flour undoubtedly were much
moro than So cents a barrel. On May
as Myron ". Thatcher, q st. Paul &C
countant formerlyR miller at Osceola,
Wisconsin. estimated the net profit
even In the smaller and less profitable
mills ct not lessthan $1.4s . barrel.
The report brings out the fact that
the large milling companies are In the
habit Of opncealing their excessive
prohts. On the whole the report Is
