FIVE MERCHANTS
ADVISORY COUNCIL
Food Administrator r.. p. Melvin, VIII
Appoint Committee on Local
Food Question

At the meeting last night between
Mr.. Ridgely p. Melvin, Foor~ Admins
traitor for Anne Arundel County, and
the local merchants, several matters
of more than ordinary interest to the
public were taken up. 1t was an
nounced that the fixed margin of
profit allowed on sugar-which is III
cents a pound for this county would
have to be adhered to. Consequently
those dealers who have sugar on hand
for which they paid about cents a
pound cannot charge over 91a cents
to the consumer; while those who
recently bought sugar and paid the
present rate of about 91s cents whole
sale will have retail price of IL
cents pound.
II also prescribed that these two
supplies of sugar must not be mixed
by the dealer 1t was calculated that
the quantity of the old sugar on hand
in ard around Annapolis is about
5000 pounds.
Another matter of Importance was
the question of butter prices the mar
gin for which has been fixed by the
Food Administration as not exceeding
six cents pound profit to the retail
err over the actual "store-door" price
to him.
The local food administrator end
the merchants also entered into an
agreement whereby Mr.. Melvin is to
appoint committee of five merchants
to act as sort of advisory council, to
keep closely in touch with local food
conditions and adopt a fair price list
for this community that will come iul-
ly within the regulations of the Food
Administration and at the same time
will meet local conditions.

STRICKLAND OUT
FOR NOMINATION
FROM THE SIXTH
Greenfield Democrat Will
Enter Race for United
States Congress.

Harry G. Strickland of Greenfield
has announced his candidacy for the
Democratic nomination for representa-.
tive In congress from the Sixth dis.
:, trict at the forthcoming primary. my
platform" said Mr.. Strickland over
the long distance telephone to the Pal.
ladium, as patriotism and stand be.
hind Woodrow Wilson,"
Strickland was a member Of the low
er house of the state legislature in
1907. 1909 and 1911. He was at one
time city clerk in Greenfield where he
owns successful grocery business.
Strickland was born in Centerville
and his father, r. J. Strickland. former
ly publisher of the Wayne Chronicle
at Centerville, was one of the Oldest
newspaper men in the county. He was
also interested in newspapers at Cam
bridge City and Richmond.
Learned Printers Trade.
Harry G. Strickland at that time was
employed in his fathers plant as a
printer, and later accepted a position
In the government printing plant at
Washington under President Cleve-
lands administration.
Strickland said ne probably would be
in Richmond this week to confer with
his Democratic friends and supporters
Fraternally he is a thirty third degree
Mason and past grand commander Of
the Indiana lodge.
Considers Step.
For several days Mr. Strickland has
been considering the ACCESSIBILITY of
seeking the congressional nomination,
but did not file his papers with the
secretary of state until last Friday.
AS less than a week remains in
which candidates may file papers with
the secretary of state, and no other
announcement for the congressional
nomination on the Democratic ticket
has been made, it seems likely that
Mr.. Strickland will meet with no oppo-
sition. The same condition exists on
the Republican ticket, leaving a clear
field for Representative Elliot These
two men will fight it out at the elect
ion next fall, as their nominations
seems assured.
