Food Administrator Orders
State Representatives To
Investigate Advance.

The United States food al
ministration has sent out the
following directions to federal
food administrators OF all
states:
The food administration is
concerned that there should be
no profteering IN ice and
especially that the cost of ice
to those elements Of the com
munity which are least able to
protect themselves should not
be increased over last year I'M
less absolute proof can be Civ
en- by the ice companies as to
the necessity. An increase in
price over that ruling last sea-
son &c the household consumer
Will. therefore, justify investi-
cation as TO whether ii cOnstl-
tutes profiteering.
SHOULD INVESTIGATE
INCREASE.
All ice. dealers should be re-
quired to file with you any pro-
posed schedule Of increased
prices before these increases
are put into effect. and no in
crease to the household con-
sumner shall be made until after
investigation Your attention is
called to that section OF the
food control act in which pro-
vision is made with regard to
unfair practices, and in case Of
a proposed increase in price
YOU should investigate the
tendency TO make Unreasonably
lower prices to commercial us
ers than to domestic Consum-
ers, considering at all times
cost in distribution. An unrea-
sonable difference would be an
unfair practice.
Is LOCAL PROBLEM.
The ice problem is essential
iy a local problem, and we do
not wish to intervene where
local dealers do not increase
prices, or come to an arrange
ment with municipal author
tiles which will be satisfactory
to both dealer and consumer.
If, however, such settlements
can not be, made by local au-
thOrities in cases where there
is an attempt 10 intentionally
increase prices. we suggest
that you investigate and in the
first instance endeayoT to arbi-
trate a settlement. Should this
fail. please so report. and then
we are prepared in the inter
est of reasonable prices to use
all the powers we have, includ-
ing that Of license in any given
locality, and to place ice hand
lers in that locality under the
restraints of the food bill We
greatly hope that the matter
can be settled by local authori-
ties in all cases. and that as
few appeals as possible be
made to you. Notify local adj
illustrators to bring TO your
attention any attempts at in
crease in price, and notify all
dealers.

SAMMIE MOUSE'S LESSON.

Once there was a little mouse named
Sammie, who lived in Mouscland with
all the other mice. But one day, when he
was running about in his hunt for food,
he came upon very large cheese, which
had never been cut or broken.
Sammic Mouse ran over the cheese
several times before he could believe
it really had no hole in it. "My! This must
be all the cheese in the world, and have
found it," he said
Sammie ran up on top OF the cheese
and sat down to think, and instead of
thinking of his friends in Mouseland and
that he would bc generous and tell them
about his wonderful discovery he racked
his little brain To think of some way in
which he could keep the good news from
them
"Ill run away from Mouscland," he
said Mt last Il will go away somewhere
and live all by myself, and then | can
come here every cay and eat, and eat,
and catl"
For Sammic Mouse could not think of
n time when that big cheese would bc
gone, so big did II look 10 hm.
That night when al The other mice
were running about ON their nightly hunt,
Sammic Mouse hid. and when he was
quite alone he took alI his belong ngs in n
bag, threw il over his shoulder. and an of.
NJ lie founda place under the house where
h had found the big cheese, for he was too
wise tu live right M the room with IL.
That place was too hight for n mouse to
make his home

to get out of his bed, but the next day,
about dark, he crept forth a wiser and
n better little mouse.
He did not go near the cheese, though
he was very hungry by TINT time.
He ran str light 10 Mouseland and told
all his friends about the wonderful find.
"It is big enough for everybody To have
some," he told them.
And of they all ran after Snmmie
Mouse, thinking he WINS the best fellow
in Mouseland.
When all the mice were running in
and out Of the cheese, nibbling md
having the best time in their lives,
Sammic, who had eaten all ho wanted,
sat down on the floor and watched them
"This is lot better than keeping it
all to myself" he said. Everybody is
having n good time, md ! feel much
happier: yes very much more than |
did the night ! came here all alone

How to Organize.
Finding Good Ground water.

Good ground water is the ideal sup
ply for farms, according to Farmers
Bulletin GAL, water Systems for
Farm Homes" recently issued by the
United States department of agricul-
ture.
Any farmer about to put down a
deep or expensive well, and who is
uncertain of the depth and the guam
tity or quality of the water likely to
be encountered, should describe fully
the location and conditions of his
project to national or state geological
authorities and ask for advice. Times
without number, wells have been sunk
to great depths in the belief that
eventually plentiful supply would
be reached, only to find that water
was not there, or that it was unfit for
use, or that a mere hole or stump had
been created which served but to
drain water from relatively near The
surface. There is no short cut ahd
no better guide in this matter than
information us to the kind, thickness,
porosity, and dip of the strata of the
region and of the results obtained in
neighboring wells, study of the land
slopes and character of the vegeta-
ton, and examination for evidences
of seeps and springs.
Regarding the use of a ferked will
low, hazel, or peach stick for locating
underground water, it can be said
safely the method is without merit,
although so-called forked-stick artists
from their experience and observation
Of surface conditions usually are bet
ter able to judge of the probabilities
of ground water than is the average
person not thus trained. So also,
there is little to recommend certain
patented automatic water finders
which are based upon the possible,
but largely conjectural, proposition
that electrical exchanges between tile
earth and atmosphere are stronger in
the vicinity of subterranean waters.
