YOUR DUTY TO TELL
BOARD OF oilers
THOSE WHO ARE WITHIN REGIS
TRATION AGE SHOULD WORK
OR GO TO WAR.

The members of the local registha-
ton board have ashed the public to
inform them if there is case of a
registrant anywhere not engaged in
productive work,-somewhere neces.
sity or an aid to the war.
The law requires that these regis
trants be placed up in class one and
sent to battle. The war department is
making a strenuous effort to have
every registrant who stays at home
work. If he does not work and work
had, the board should know it and if
you are a loyal citizen and want to
help push the progress of the war,
you should see that the local board
has information about any registrant
who is not engaged at productive
work. Only those who have been re-
gistered are subject to this require
ment.

MEASURES TAKEN WHICH
PREVENTED PROFITEERING

Atlanta, July 9.-The Food Admins
tration has made public measures
that were taken earlier in the season
to proven profiteering in the flour
milling industry. The millers, under
the original regulations were allowed
maximum gross profit of Is cents
barrel, based on their annual business.
The business is seasonal one and
cannot be determined upon a few
months operations. The milling yaer
ends on July and as some differences
IF opinion had arisen between the mill.
crs and the Food Administration as
to the basis upon which profits were
to be calculated, the question was re-
ferred to a committee comprising the
chairman of the United States Tariff
Commission, member of the FEEDER.
nj Trade Commission. a member of
the Agricultural Advisory Board, with
Mr.. Chas. Espenschied, retired mill.
err, and a representative of the Food
Administration.
The chief differences with respect
to the conduct of the millers under
the regulations, to date, revolve upon
whether they should include excess
profits taxes as a part of their expens-
es. Based on the decision which has
been sent out to the millers neither
excess profits tax nor income taxes
should be recognized as items of ex-
pense for the purpose of the mills
accounting With regard to millers
finding themselves at the end of the
fiscal year with an amount in excess
! of 25 cents a barrel profit, it was sug'
| gested that they could release them
selves from the difficulty by selling a
| sufficient amount of flour at nominal
price to the Food Administration or
! the Army or Navy to liquidate any
| such surplus profit. The accounts Of
millers will be, and are. audited by
the representatives of the enforce
I .nent Division of the Food Admins

A Grocery Clerk

A Kansas soldier was doing little
scouting on his own hook the other day
in France. He ran into party Of six
Germans. killed one of them and the
other five surrendered and he took
them into camp. The soldiers occupa-
tion had been that Of grocery clerk
until few months ago.
When Germany started her famous
drive last spring, and had battered her
way across the country for twenty
miles or more, an officer sent word to
his family that the victory was won
because there was nothing now in the
way but thin line OF London clerks.
If that same officer is living to-day his
back is turned toward those London
clerks, and the line isn't as thin as he
supposed it was.
But the point is. our armies are
made up Of grocery clerks and men
who were not thinking of war few
men who were trained in the arts of
peace and not in the arts of war, as
were Germany's soldiers. Yet man for
man those grocery clerks and those
London clerks have shown themselves
superior to the soldiers Of Germany
who have been trained for n lifetime.
The moral OF it is. pursuits of peace
make men who with few months
training, can whip the soldiers who
know nothing else but military disci-
plinc. Our soldiers became men before
they became soldiers, whereas Ger.
many's soldiers never became men,
