MANS EFFECTS
SOLD AT AUCTION
in BRITISH NAVY

London, Jan. 8.-Dead mems eff
fects are sold at auction on the ships
deck by an old custom in the British
navy. Prices out of all proportion to
the value of goods are often realized
for the mans heirs. especially if the
later owner was popular with his
shipmates.
Purely personal belongings, such as
letters and photographs, are first TAX
en- out to be forwarded to the deceas-
eds relatives. Then, as soon as Off
cha sanction is obtained, the rest of
the articles are taken to a convenient
part Of the ship and offered for sale.
The master-at-arms acts as auction
eer.
Bidders who have obtained the
small articles from such an auction
sometimes throw back their purchas-
es for resale until as many Jackies as
feel inclined have had a chance OF
contributing something towards the
assistance of the dead mans next-of-
kin. Thus these kit sales become the
lower decks way of taking up a char
table collection.
The kit of a deserter is similarly
sold by auction, the proceeds going
to the national treasury. But the
whole outfit rarely fetches more thar
a few shillings, as many sailors regard
the possession of articles formerly be.

That Flour Prices are too
High-Prosecute Those

Sugar, bread and flour cards. for
North Dakota. unless there is a very
decided change in conditions, were
predicted by DR.. f. +. Ladd, state
food administrator, in an interview
with a Herald representative, who
visited him at Fargo. The license
system for hotels and all public eat
ing houses also was predicted. Dr..
Ladd advocated the latter method as
the most ef1cacious way of dealing
with the food situation.
He also declared that every mill
and everyone who handled mill pro-
ducts should be placed under federal
control, just as the railroads have
been.
"Inasmuch as the government has
stabilized wheat prices he said, tine
prices Of other products should be
stabilized. for only in this way can

Flour Prices Too High.

Gently the federal food adninistra
ton at Washington issued a bulletin
to the effect that bread should sell IN
North Dakota at s cents. .
IT endorse that he said. IF
bread can be sold at 6 cents, cash and

why it should not sell at s cents in
North. Dakota, where the wheat is
raised. 1t can't be sold at s cents,
however, with -four prices as high as
they are. 1t is being sold at ~ cents

system for the purchase of sugar,
bread and -four"
In speaking of the sugar situation,
DR.. Ladd said that anything below 10
cents now was not an unfair price.
The retail price, he said, was 9 1-2
cents. There has been every effort,
he said, on the part of the WholeSal-
ers and retailers to observe the regu-
lations regarding sugar, but they are
meeting with outside competition
which has brought about an unfair
situation.
Some shipments Unfair.
He produced a record. provided by
the Great Northern railroad, showing
the shipments of sugar by n outside
firm to North Dakota customers.
Many of these customers, the record
showed. secured many more sacks Of
sugar than they were entitled to. In
some cases, DR.. Ladd declared. the
high number was not ordered. In
towns received as high as % sacks.
while larger dealers in the same town
secured only five or six sacks from
North Dakota houses.
! At present an investigation of flour
prices is being made. DR.. Ladd said.
This also includes an investigation
into the prices of feed. DR.. Ladd
declares thai one of the most i'm
portant problems at present is hat
of securing a fair price of feed for
the farmer, for upon it depends the
cattle raising industry.

it is costing at the mill. bran ought
not to sell in carload lots to exceed

should be added to this, according to
estimates at Washington, so cents per
ton if sold in less than carload lots.
III sold in sacks. then the cost of
sacking should be added, but. all to-
gether, it should not exceed $50 a
ton.
Why Flour is Too High.
ut takes four and one-half BUSH
els of wheat to make Il barrel of
flour. AT $2.05 his would mean
s9.23 as the cost of wheat at the mill.
The government has said IS cents is
a good price for milling INC 25 cents
per barrel as the profit to the miller.
This makes $10.23 as the cost of -four,
bran, shorts. red-dog and all that has
come. Deduct the cost of the bran.
shorts and red-dog and We ought to
get a price of less than 1928 as the
wholesale price of -four at the mill
door. If we add to this mount so
cents for the retailers profit (Which
is twice as much as the wholesaler
gets), we ought to get 1915 as the
price the retailer should sell the flour
in the same town."
DR.. Ladd declared that there are a
number of reports regarding violation
of wheatless and meatless days. From
one or two towns, he said, have come
reports of non-observance on the par,
of a hotelkeeper or restaurant mar
which has worked a hardship on the
man who observes it. The only thing
to do, he said. is to make a thorough
investigation and hen prosecute the

The numbers of officers also has
been reduced. At the beginning of
hostilities each company of German
infantry had five, the captain and
four l~ieutenants or second lieutenants.
Early in the war the creation Of new
machine gun. trench-mortar. gas and

three.

officers on furlough or for the pur-
