This act also comes within the

Gross Profiteering
in Florida Oranges

Orlando, Fla, Oct. 3O.-Conclusive
evidence in hand shows that gross
profiteering in oranges and grapefruit
is being practiced in Florida. Before
me are invoices from jobbers showing
a price of So per box for oranges.
Investigations disclose that the pro-
ducer has sold his crop for not ex-
ceeding $3.50 per box f. o. b. groves.
Allowing dollar box to put the
fruit f. o. b. cars, so cents freight, an
arbitrary profit of so cents to the
buyer and so cents to the jobber
(Which profits themselves are certain
ly maximum), the oranges should be
sold to the retail merchants at not ex-
ceeding $500 per box.
Further information is at hand to
the effect that oranges are selling at
retail in Florida for as much as 10
cents each. There is certainly no rea-
son why the fanciest orange of the
largest size should be sold by the re-
taller to the consumer at price in
excess of 5 cents, but there is every
reason that the average retail price
of oranges in Jacksonville and other
towns in the state should be much be-
low this figure.
[ very much hope that all handlers
of oranges will conduct their business
in such manner as to prevent drastic
steps by my department, but l wish 70

This Result Largely Due to Ef- forts of America, Which Brought Food to Them
Gratitude of These People to
 United States Is Unbounded
 and Embarrassing
cRv Review Leased wire)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S. - Four years of German oppression brought no loss of life from starvation to the populations of Belgium and northern France and the under-nourishment resulting from it can be stamped out if America continued to send food"
 This report from Herbert Hoover, chairman of the commission for relief in Belgium, based on a survey of the occupied territories of western Flu rope, was made public tonight at the commissions headquarters here.
 The survival of the peoples of Bel gium and northern France, while a quarter of the populations of other German-occupied lands died of famine, was ascribed by MT. Hoover to the work of the commission which for four years poured food across belliger- ent lines sufficient to keep men, wo- men and children above the margin of starvation.
 Gratitude is Unbounded
 The gratitude of these people to the United States, Mir Hoover reported, is unbounded and embarrassing.
 They no longer need or desire to get food through charity but owing to the systematic destruction of their textile industries they must still depend to considerable extent upon the United States for clothing.
 Population is Underclad
 The population is underclad." MT. Hoover said, and the one direction in which the Belgians are in need of charitable help is in large clothing supplies to the commission on relief for Belgium. There is no quantity of second hand clothing that will not be needed and that will not bring gratitude in the heart of some indi- vidual Belgian"
 With the German evacuation, the system of distribution of food and clothing built up by the commission during the four years became disor- ganized due to the breakdown in trans portation, Mir Hoover found This breaking down of the ration control in such commodities as meats, butter and other necessary supplies resulted in the whole of a very limited supply of such foodstuffs gravitating toward the wealthy through the rapid rise. in prices.
 Food Prices Soaring
 Though it is now possible, Mir. Hoov- CT found, to buy almost any kind of

CRv Review Leased wire)

WASHINGTON, Dec 2S.-A steady stream of troops from overseas and army camps is moving homeward.
 With more than 1,O0O,OO0 men desig- mated for demobilization since the signing of the armistice, all efforts, General March, chief of staff, said to- day, are being directed toward getting them out of service and back to the work in which they formerly were engaged Already more than half the number designated have been muster ed out
 Meanwhile additional units have been assigned for early convoy home, and to expedite the movement fl bat tleships and ten cruisers have been added to the fleet of transports which will bring back that part of the expe- ditionary forces not needed for duty with the army of occupation. Reports tonight from France showed that three more transports, with upwards of 5000 men, has sailed, and others will depart for home ports as rapidly as possible.
 General March said the work of dis charging men from camps was pro ceeding at the rate of about 100000 a week.

Two Days Are Left to Sell Remainder of Sections pro Rata of w. s. s.
Douglas and Warren District Alone in County Are Lack ing in This Respect

The people of the Warren district never were considered "pikers" and at this late day will not wish to be con. sidered as such. However, if they would save themselves from the op. probrium of being considered both "pikers" and "slackers," but two days remain in which they may complete their pledges for the purchase of war savings stamps. At present. accord ing to the statement of J. c. Ryan, chairman of the county W. s. s. com mittee, the district now lacks about $l00,O00 of fulfilling its pledge
 The district has been doing we'll in the matter of purchasing the baby bonds, but must do better or be shamed before the state. Mir. Ryan said. Up to June l, the county, out of pro rata pledge Of S1.061. .0O0 had purchased but $14S, ,000. in the stamps. On December l an accounting showed that the county had purchased but $343, 6SS out of its allotment Then the leaders in the movement, headed by Mir. Ryan. got busy District after district in the county rolled up it's allotted total and settled back with sigh of satisfaction after the effort. Finally. only Bisbee and Douglas re- mained upon the delinquent list
 q talked with W. H. Webster, chair man of the Douglas committee, to- night" said Mir. Ryan. He informed me that in Douglas the committee. aided by the newspapers and the pub lie. had concentrated efforts to wipe out the stacker stain on the city He is confident that it will be done before the New Year opens.
 Surely the people of Bisbee and the Warren district are not going 10 be the only ones in Cochise county who have not bought their allotment of stamps. I feel confident that they. too, will come alive to the neces- sity for immediate action and will wipe out the balance standing against them at the present time"

PARIS.
