RED CROSS WORK GROWING

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. H,-That the
work of the American Red Cross for
suffering humanity will be enlarge
TO scale beyond precedent or anti
cipation, in order to give expression
&c the generous impulse behind the
movement in this country, is an
nounced by the Southern Headquar-
tiers of the Red Cross in this city.
This enlargement of the magnitude
Of the work will require a great deal
more funds than those already pledg-
ed. and it is certain that the Red
Cross membership will be increased
many more millions before the war is
over.
Through the Red Cross, men. wo-
men and children, though they cam
not go to the front, are given a
means of aiding the soldiers who
ARE at the front. and thus the voun-
teer spirit, very previous asset has
an effective expression.
Through the Red Cross, one-half
of the nation, namely, the women,
can most effectively serve their coun-
try in the war emergency
BY concentrating through such a
volunteer organization as the Red
Cross, relief work can be accomplish
ed with less delay and with more
economy.

MORE PRICES FOR
| OCAL FOODSTUFFS
HAVE BEEN FIXED
PRICES FOR MEATS OF ALL KINDS
ARE ADOPTED-FO0D ADMINS
TRATION TOLD TO ENFORCE
LAWS STRICTLY.

The local food administration today
announces additional prices on gro
ceries, prices on meats and some
changes in the grocery schedule pre-
viously published. The most notable
change made is in the price Of sugar,
a reduction in the price charged for
this commodity being ordered by the
food administrator and the advisory
board.
IN determining prices for meats, the
food administration has been guided
by government figures and by prices
that prevail in other cities situated
similarly to Americus, as we'll as by
the figures submitted by Americus
butchers. The prices which have pre-
vailed for some time have been prac
tically adopted again.
The grocers asked for number
of Increases, some of which were
allowed and others rejected. The
action of the administration in re-
dacing the price of sugar was upon
its own initiative
The national food administration
has been asked to make a ruling on
Seaboard shop, where employees Of the
SeabaoTd shop where employees of the
railroad are required to sign checks
on their salaries, yet are charged the
credit and delive pices. The en-
ployes claim that they are entitled to
the cash and carry prices, if they take
tie articles with them. A ruling on
this question is expected early next
week.
Whether persons ordering a barrel
of -four before the food control law
went into effect, but unable to re-
ceive this flour until now, can keep it
without violating the anti boarding
provision is also question that the
rational administration has been ask
ed to settle, at the request of Ameri-
Gus parties.
County Food Administrator Franc
Mangum has received very positive
structions to investigate every instance
of alleged violations of the anti hoard
ing law and enforce strictly all of the
food control laws, as a greater food
saving and more strict compliance
with the regulations, is demanded by
the government.
