PRICE LISTS.

The food administrator will en-
leavor to have published more sys-
.emetically price lists giving to the
public list of fair prices which the
purchasing public should pay for va
'ious articles Of food. If prices at
variance with this list are being
charged, the administrator urgently
asks that the public be police force
% report at once to the local food
administrator the prices that vary
with the published price list. The
sole purpose of the Food Admjnistra-
ion having been called into existence
s that 1t may ask, and it may act in
1efonse of, the public to help cut
out unfair practices and so-called
orofiteering
The logical sequence is that the
public must act as cooperative or
police force, and promptly notify the
.ocal members of the food admins
ration of unfair practices that come
70 their knowledge through purchas-
!ng or otherwise. This all leads to
The subject Of undue advance in
prices of any commodity in any COM

IS tendency just now to unduly adj
vance the price of ice Ice in the
summer is enc Of the greatest pre-
servers of food necessities that we
Use. PrOfteering in this essentia!
should not be allowed.
What is prOfteering? It is an ad-
vance in price beyond the pre-war
period that is not justified by the in
creased cost since the war began. If
The cost advances to the profteering
rojnt in any commodity, the public
should notify promptly the local food
administrator and an investigat ton
will be made

There appears to be great activity
in the lumber business. Two new
Vermont lumber companies recently
filed articles of incorporation with
the secretary Of state, each with a
$4,000 capital, and there are indica-
tions of other large activities along
this line. With the present demand
for all kinds Of lumber by the gov
eminent and the probable building
boom following the war, it is evident
the lumber interests have years Of
unprecedented demand for their prod
uct ahead.

This paper is still of the opinion
that this is no time to foist a uni
versal military training law upon
America. We have all the law that
is needed for training during this war
and at it's close if Germany wins we
shall have a Prussian military law.
If we win the peace for which we are
fighting, the terms of that peace
ought to make universal military
training in this country and in the
world, unnecessary.

More than 800 penalties for VIOLA
ton of rules and regulations govern
ing licensed dealers in foodstuffs have
been imposed during the past ten
months by the food administration.
About $50 companies and individuals
have been ordered to quit business in
licensed commodities for limited Or
unlimited period, and over 500 have
voluntarily made a money payment,
usually to the Red Cross, or have
temporarily abstained from doing
business rather than risk calling
down more drastic penalties.

The Kansas plan of harvesting may
be adopted in Vermont to some de-
gree. There, the agricultural de-
partment estimates, 100000 men
from the villages and cities are in the
fields helping for a short season to
harvest the crops. Among them are
bankers, Office clerks, merchants,
professors and tradesmen of all
kinds. Such help is essential to the
proper harvesting of our hay crop
here in Vermont now and the ques-
ton is, will our villagers volunteer a
few days or a weeks service?

MUST CONTINUE TO SAVE FOOD
New Federal Food Administrator for
Vermont, Frank n. Brooks, Out
lines His PoIicy-Asks Co-opera-
ticn Of the Public.
People Must Act as Police Force
Points Out Anew Great Necessity
o. Conservation.

Montpelier, June -. Hon Frank
II. Brooks, the recently appointed
United States food administrator for
Vermont, has issued the following
statement to the public outlining the
policy of the food administration in
this state:
The food administrator wishes to
emphasize a most hearty expression
Of appreciation, first to the people of
Vermont for the splendid results OBJ
tanned in cooperation with the food
administration officials, and next to
his predecessors, Messrs HARNESS
and Gushing and the entire working
force of officials, county and
town committees for the unflagging
zeal and patriotic effort required to
save and produce food to win the
war.
Your food administrator will. am
sure, never be obliged to exercise
drastic power of control over the
palates of the people of Vermont 1t
will not be a case of must, but
willing giving up on the Part of ell
that we may have the future of orr
lives, liberty, and the honest pursuit
Of happiness safeguarded from inva
sion of every kind.
Just back from two 6av and
night session of the state food ad-
illustrators of the country with our
chief, Mr.. Herbert Hoover, it seems
an opportune time to brig to the
attention Of the loyal and brave men
and women. boys and girls of Yer
mont, certain lines Of action that will
prove them not alone civilians, but
:OldieTS of the third line of defense
"a line just as imnortant as the
first line. We are those who back
them at the front. Without firm
backing, the first line will surely
fail.
The slogan Food will win the
war" rests on sounder basis to-
day than ever. Ships, aercplanes
money, men, morale will win, but
these AL must be backed by bounti-
fu' supply Of food or they will fail.
The program outlined at Washing
work out follows:
l. Continuance of the $3.50 plan IN
the use Of wheat and substitutes.
and fats.
8. ELIMINATION of waste OF foods If
4. The more. general practice of pub
fishing fair price lists of all food
commodities.
8. The prevention Of any profteerine
advance in ice and other commodi-
ties beyond what can be justified
by increased cost over pre- war
period.
.. War gardens and largely increa sed
,, production Of all foods hogs cattle
poultry. dairy products, etc
A short statement concerning each
OF these six important items may
not be out of order.
The so-called use of substitutes for
wheat should be strenuously adhered
to. Substitutes have produced re-
suits that, had these results been
lacking, it might have caused a break
in the line of food supply ships to
France. This might have resulted
in a disastrous break in the civilian
and army lines abroad Substitutes
are good for most persons. On a
1917 crop shortage in surplus of
about 80 million bushels for our own
use, substitutes have made possible a
shipment abroad of about 166 million
bushels of the all essential wheat
out of what we would have disposed

COMPLETE OIL STORAGE TANK
AT WATERWORKS STATION

The new standard reinforced con-
the city council some time ago was
completed this week by Lehman
Bros, who had the contract. The new
receptacle will hold 10000 gallons and
with the present tank with capacity
of 5000 gallons will protect the city
from demurrage charges as both tanks
will hold the contents of two railroad
tank cars. The action taken by the
city council came after a recommends
ton of City Engineer Kraeft who
when the matter was brought up
pointed out that railroad shipment of
oil was irregular and the fluid is
now being shipped from the gulf
states owing to the fact that all tank
steamers owned by the refining COM
pany had been taken over by the gov
eminent and no refining plant was
located on the eastern coast. The oil
when shipped, usually takes rs days
to get here. If an interval of IA days
is allowed between shipments the
cars can be taken care of as they ar
rive Then again, should two or three
cars be delayed they will all arrive at
once with no storage facilities on this
end. The city would then be up against
large railroad car rental bill.
Both tanks are located at the city
waterworks plant where steam facili-
ties are had to heat the oil, which on
its arrival is in a tarry state.

FINAL APPEAL FOR BOOKS
FOR BOYS IN ARMY CAMPS

Books for soldiers in the various
army environments are coming in fast
at the public library. So far 275 books
have been received They are all in
pretty good condition and all will be
appreciated highly by the boys at the
various training camps Many people
who could respond have not done so
as yet. 1t is to them that a final ap-
peal is directed. Few people, if any,
have not some books, and among them
are books they have read and will
probably never touch. There are many
memories associated with them,-per-
haps unseverable ties-but the boys to
whom they are sent will treasure
them still more, the book Or books
may mean a few more hours of real
pleasure for him. Box them and send
them to the library at once for there
may be someone in camp tonight who
wants to read a good book
