STRANGE APPEALS
 TO RED CROSS

Vladivostok, Oct. 25-Some Rus sians have a strange conception of the functions of the Red Cross. The apparently intelligent matron of Via divostok home for orphans recently proposed that the Red Cross take over management of all orphans homes throughout Russia. She thought this could be started with an ex- penditure of not more than 6O,O0O,- 900 rubles.
 Another modest request from an- other source was that the Red Cross undertake the rehabilitation and re pair of all towns throughout Russia which have suffered from Russia's & civil war.
 The matron also asked the Red Cross to make the nurses and instruc- tors in her institution behave. She complained that since the Bolshevik reign in Vladivostok all sense of dis cipline had vanished and the young men and women were carrying on high jinks to tho detriment of the or phans' welfare.

BUTTER DEALERS ARE PUT UEDER NEW REGULATIONS Food Administrations Act to Conserve Butter and
 Cheese for Public. REASONABLE PRICES
 MUST RULE SALES What Reasonable Prices Are Subject to Definition
 As Given Out.

Hartford, Oct. 25-New Iioense regulations important to every but ter and cheese dealer and of consid- erable interest to the public, have been promulgated by the Food Ad ministration. The recent rise in the price of butter has been incorrectly thought to be due to the amount of butter purchased by the govern ment. Out of an estimated storage stock of 100, O,OOOOOO pounds, the gov ernment has taken 25,0O0,000 pounds. The Food Administration has been apprehensive that the high price might stif1e the consumption of dairy butter, increase the consump- tion of oleomargarine and cause a general slump in butter prices, which would be disastrous to the or iGinal producer. The price of feeds has not increased, but there have been material advances in wages paid by the dairy industries.
 The new license regulations are the result of recent inquiry into the ob- normally high prices of butter and cheese and the new rules are for the guidance not only of dealers who hold food administration licenses, but for those who are dependent upon such licenses for their retail supplies.
 Because of the great demands made by the Army and Navy, there is something of a shortage of American or Cheddar Cheese, and the food ad- ministration is asking the patriotic int ton of cheese.
 Prices are Defined
 In insisting that butter be retailed at a reasonable advance over the cost the food administration defines 'cost" for the purpose of this rule to include: 1. Purchase price; 2 Transportation charges if any; 3 Storage charges actually incurred or cold storage butter; 1. Insurance charges actually incurred on colo storage butter; 5. Interest on money invested at the current rate while butter is in cold storage; 6. Actua cost of printing, if the butter is put ir print form from tubs or cubes. Cos shall not include any allowance fol shrinkage in weight, commissions ol expenses other than those hereiI listed. Maximum margins permittet in any sale except by manufacturer O. retailer shall be limited as follows: cent per pound on car lot sales; 1 l.. cents per pound on 1000 pounds; cents on $500 pounds; 2 1-2 cent! on 700 pounds; cents on 100 pounds and 8 34 cents on less than 1OC pounds. Additions for cold storag; charges are limited to 1 cent pel pound for one month and not nor, than IA cent per pound for sue ceeding months up to a maximum o cents.
 For cheese the. first five cost item are the same as for buttereand tn sixth permits of additions covering tn cost of paraf1lning not to exceed l..
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-10-25

cent per pound. Sales except by manufacturers and retailers are sub ject to the following limitations; On car lots 3-4 cents per pound, 1000 pounds 1 IA cents per pound; 800 pounds 1 3-4 cents per pound; and less than 500 pounds cents per pound.
 Will Enforce Rules.
 The food administration Is directing It's enforcement machinery against dealers who are attempting to reap large profits in the riaing butter mar ket. Under the food administration regulations, butter, both storage and fresh, must be sold at a price not to exceed a stipulated margin over cost and dealers are not allowed to profit by abnormal advances in the market of profit on butter shall not exceed cents per pound at cash and carry stores and 6 cents per pound at credit and delivery stores.
 According to the new cheese regu- lations, retailers may not sell Ameri- can or Cheddar cheese at any advance in excess of six or seven cents over cost. The six cent per pound profit represents the maximum margin o1 profit for stores conducted on the cash and carry or no service plan while seven cents per pound is the maximum for the extra service store: extending credit and delivery.
 Dealers whose delivered store-doo, cost is figured in fractions may havt the benefit of such fractional cost.
 For example, cheese costing a store-door 26 IA cents per pount would carry a maximum margin o 6 3-4 cents per pound for the casl and carry and no service stores, 'ant 3-4 cents per pound for the extrt service or credit and delivery stores
 In determining margins at 6 and cents per pound on cheese with tn fractional cost in dealers favor, tn United States food administration ha given due consideration to the risin' costs of operation, which must be me | by the dealer. This maximum mar gin will, no doubt, exceed in some in stances normal pre-war margins. In addition to the foregoing mar gin, a retailer who carries America! or Cheddar Cheese in a warehous for more than 30 days may add no to exceed Is cent per pound pc month for each and every month af | ter the 30 day period, during whicl | the cheese is held in the warehous | by him, but in no case shall tn amount added exceed 1 cent pc pound, and no further amount shaI | be added by the dealer after month from the date of original storage. i Dealers should understand that they average costs, they must averag the cost of each grade and style sep arately.

American port.
 It is proposed to have permanent organizations in all the South Ameri- can ports, under the direction of the Y. M. c. A. Fleet Secretary, which can on moments notice prepare themselves to entertain any number of sailors who may be sent ashore on leave.
 One night recently when an Ameri- can cruiser was in the port of Buenos Aires, the Y. M. c. A. arranged for the entertainment of 12O sailors in the homes of American and English families.
 As Buenos Aires has the only Y. M. C. A. building in South America large enough to look after a large number of sailors, the first work O. the Y. M. c. A. committees will be to provide buildings in each port which will be turned into permanent homes for American sailors during their shore leave.
