under rigid investigation by the fooc
administration on suspicion OF prof
itccring and other violations of tn.
regulation governing handling of food
stuffs.
The statement issued by the board
follows, in part
Bic & Schiott nave been un,ler r-
vestigation by the food administration
fo" several months past, during which
TINE hearings were neld at Washingto
and other cities. Among the violations
which were established were:
"Charging excessive prices for fooc
commodities delivered to the United
States Shipping Board and to private
customers.
Rendering Inaccurate reports to the
food administration.
"Payng large comm issions to shir
CdptaillS ana Olncr persons as an IN
ducemcnt to have orders placed with
the firm.
"Some ship chambers in the past
have paid commissions. usually pei
cent or under. but the food administra
ton looks with disfavcr upon the prac-
tice. In at least one instance the moneys
paid by Bic & Schiott to secure order
exceeded 5 per cent of the amount OF
the order"
After Monday Bic & Schiott can en-.
cage in no business relating to lcens ed
food commodities in the states of New

Cause of Headache.

By knowing the cause, a disease may often be avoided. This is particularly true of headache. The most common cause of head ache is a disordered stomach or constipation, which may be cor rected by taking a few doses of Chamberlain's Tablets. Try it. Many others have obtained per manent relief by taking these Tablets. They are easy to take and mild and gentle in effect.

w. s. STAMPS.

In asking the people to invest in War Savings and Thrift Stamps the government is not asking them to contribute money.
 It is merely asking for the use of the money and is willing to pay literally for it.
 The government simply wishes to employ your money and pay you for its service, just as it would employ you and pay you for your services.
 You will get your money back with interest-cOmpOund inter- est at the rate of 40 per an- mum. The stamps mature in five years but you can cash them at any time you wish before the date of maturity and get interest at 3 per cent.
 If you need the service of your money before five years, the Savings Stamps handed to the postmaster will he the letter of resignation and you will get your money back, with additional pay ment for the time you have per mitted the government to use it.
 There is no red tape, no bother no uncertainty, no work. It is the simplest, safest and most satisfactory investment you can make.

STATE LOAN APPROVED.

We are informed that the state loan to the people of St Johns has been approved and that S12O, 900 will be forthcoming immediately and that as soon as other papers are negotiated more will be avail able.
 This means much to the poor farmers of this section because of the very trying conditions un- der which they have been labor ing borrowing money and having to pay interest on same, places them in very strengthened cir cumstances as their is no returns from their farms as yet. but when this project is finished Apache will come to the front with another thriving, prosperous farming district and during these t mes of strife tn farmer is the man at the helm and as such we should reach forth a helping hand and boost for him wherever we can. Through the farmer we are going to win this great wal that is being waged against PruSsianism.
 We are informed also that the state will place the State Engine
 CT on the job to see that the money is spent to the best advantagt
 and not wasted, We believe tha
 this is as it should be and vii
 certainly meet with the approva
 of all concerned.

RED CROSS WORKERS.

Monday, May 20, hundreds of Red Cross Workers began to raise the $1OO,OOO,OOO war fund for Americas army>Of mercy. The movement was launched Saturday night with an address by President Wilson in New York in which he ask the people to give 10 the relief fund until the giving really hurt.
 We as a people here in St. Johns and Apache county should not be behind other states, towns and counties but give until 1t real ly does hurt, as President Wilson has ask us to do. Surely there are none in St. Johns who would refuse to help in this really ne cessary movement. Come open up your hearts and purse strings and give to the Red Cross every possible cent you can and then give a little more than you can.
 We once heard story about as follows:
 A man who owned a good team was one day telling of ther good pulling qualities said: They will pull all that they can when you ask them, if you crack your whip they will pull more than they can."
 Now Mir. Solicitor, for the Red Cross, crack your whip a little and perhaps the people will pull a little more than they can".
