THE PART OF WOMEN IN FOOD
PRICE REGULATION.

Woman's work in food administra-
tlon extends beyond the home, for
she has a distinct police service to
perform. Prices and profits on nee
essary food staples are controlled I'M
der the license system of the Food Ad-
ministration, amplified by personal
pledges given by retail food dealers,
and backed by fair price schedules
published in each community news
paper.
The housewife glances over the fair
price schedule for butter, say, and that
same day finds that the price asked
by her grocer is several cents higher.
If she fails to understand her function
as a volunteer inspector of the Food
Administration, she may pay the price
without protest to her grocer, and later
enter a complaint with the local food
administrator. If she understands,
however, that food control machinery
has been organized with distinct
funtion for her as an inspector she will
take the matter up directly with her
grocer, asking his reasons for charg-
ing a price which is excessive, in the
opinion of the Food Administration.
In some cases the high price may be
justified by superior quality in the
product. Or she may trade at store
where she enjoys credit and delivery
service, which naturally involve price
somewhat higher than is charged in a
cash-and-carry store. If there is a
| lawful reason for price difference, she
is entitled to know about it, and sue
| cessful food control depends upon her
| efforts as a volunteer inspector far
more than upon any system or profess
| sional inspection that can be devised.
Where overcharges are actually
| found, they should be promptly re-
ported to the local food administrator
who will take up complaints and deal
| with viOlators. The shopping house
wife should confine her purchases to
| stores that display the retailers
| pledge under which the merchant
agrees to sell licensed food articles at
definite maximum profit. Where
| this pledge is violated the pledge pos
| ter Is taken away from the merchant.
Food control naturally involves mis-
| understandings, leaves many loop
holes open for violators, and burdens
local food administrators with detail
work. The housewife who constantly
keeps in mind the fact that ehe, as a
| pledge signer, has become member
of the Food Administration. can do
more than anyone else to see that
food control Is enforced. This duty
| is as definite a war service as economy
in her kitchen and at her table.

Supposed That
He Was Cit zen;
Finds fie Is Not

After supposing for twenty -four
country, and after having exercised al
the rights of a citizen, including vot-
ing, sitting on juries, and election
boards, NJ. c. Boysen, of the firm OF
Boysen & lessen. general merchants of
Melbourne, was surprised recently to
discover he Is not a citizen OF TINS
country Wednesday in the office of the
clerk Of the district court, he apphea
for his first papers and made his oe-
claration of intent to become clti-
zen. Mr.. Boyse1 learned Of his stand
ing in time to prevent his missing
presidential election, for two years
from today he can become naturallzed.
Mr.. Boysens case is exactly the same
as that of Rev j. G.. Gilman, of State
Center, who not long ago learned that
ne was not d citizen because his father
had not been naturalized. To Mr.. Boy
sen the information came thru the
merest accident. He and some friends
We're talking of the registration OF
alien enemies when the friend asked
quite as a joke, DO YOU know for sure
that you are a citizen
Mr.. Boysen felt that he did know. but
upon analyzig his case realized that
he did not know for a fact that his
father had been naturalized. He al
ways supposed that the elder Boysen
was citizen, but he did not have any
positive knowledge. 1t was then Mr.
Boysen began to investigate. He went
to Denison and searched the records Of
Crawford county and found no record
of his fathers naturalization. Conse-
quently he knew that he was not
legally a citizen, even tho he had al
ways exercised all rights as such.
Mr.. Boysens father was born in
Denmark, and took q s his wife Ger
man girl and moved to Germany after
his marriage. There the son was born,
and was years old when the parents
emigrated to this country. Mr. Boysen
now Is As, has spent practically all OF
his life here, is as loyal as citizen
could be, and regrets very much to find
that. after all these years in America,
he learns that he is not citizen in the
eyes of the law. But he will be as soon
as possible.

1t is all right in a way for the
government to consider reclama-
tion projects to recover the waste
land of the country so as to pro-
vide farms for the boys in the
army, provided the boys want to
farm. But there are perhaps a
large majority Of the lads who
will not want to farm, preferring
to return to their usual trades
and callings, and what provision
is the government going to make

Even Pope Benedict is being
thoroughly imbued with the spirit
of the world, and it is said he is
considering the question of aban-
doning the long established rule
to remain a prisoner within the
grounds of the Vatican. The
rule is not one of church disci-
pline, but was established in 1871
as a protest against the occupa-
tion of Rome by the Italian gov
ernment. Nothing the Catholic
could do would so liberalize relig-
ious freedom as to have the Pope
mingle freely with the people,
not only in the city of Rome, but
to travel in all the countries
where the church is established,
mingling with all the dignitaries
and communicates.
