BUECHLER GETS
$1,l9O DAMAGES

Finding that the area Of Max
Buechler's property on Main street
was somewhat diminished by new
building line. Judge Donald Warner
found Buechler was entitled to 81, 100.
Buechler brought suit against the city
for $1,000 damages as a result of
changes on his property at the corner
Of Main and Charles streets when a
new building line was established.
HIS counsel commended that after he
had built block Of ten oIe-story
stores he intended to build additional
stories at some future date and the
establishment OF this line took so
much of his property he couldn't make
this proposed addition. Judge War
ner sitting in the Superior Court said
he could not consider speculative
damages on which might happen in
the future.

new BEEF RULE
TO STOP WASTE
Restaurant Keepers Can
Now Use Surplus Supply
Until June 90.

New York, June Establishments
hotels and clubs (which have consid
cradle stocks of hind quarters and
ribs of beef, accumulated before the
Food Administrations restrictive beef
order Of June 10 was promulgated,
may serve such beef at any meal and
without restriction from now until
July IA, when the lid goes own again,
according to permission granted yes
terday.
Proprieeos of such establishments
have convinced the Food Adninistra-
tors that uuless such leeway is grant
ed them much beef will SPOIL It is
the custom of large establishments, 1t
was explained, to buy in large guam
! titles and hold the meat in cold stor-
age for ripening, which improves it's
texture and flavor for epicurean
tastes. So a temporary order was is
sued yesterday, which reads:
| "All kinds and ribs of prime beef
and cuts thereof which were already
separated from the carcasses and held
as such at the commencement of bus
mess June 10, 1918, and which have
since then been held to age, ripen or
season. these and none other, may
during the time from the date of this
order until midnight on Sunday July
IA, 1918, be sold at any neal in any
form by any hotel, restaurant, club
or other public eating place, provided
that the dealer, hotel proprietor OF
other owner makes statement at once
giving the quantities and identifying
marks of this meat and it's present
location to the New York Fedora
Food Board, and, moreover, furnish
Immediately in case of its sale fol
any other than direct consumption
the full particulars of such sale.
"All dealers and all hotels, restaur.
ants, clubs and other public eating
places are advised to control the dis
position OF their stocks Of these meats
whether by direct sale or, where nee
essary by a single resale, so that none
of these goods remain in stock in ex
cess surplus at midnight on July IA
191S."
The Food Board heard yesterday
that beef packers had been spreading
reports that the beef restrictions sool
would be ameliorated considerably
The reports were not true and tn
packers were warned yesterday to b.
sure of their information hereafter.

Federal Commission
Finds PrOfiteering
In u. S. Industries
CONTINUED From Page one)


months of the year shows as high az
50 a barrel" Many millers exceed
ed the government maximum for
profits and to that extent "the profits
were larger and in general in fact,
were very great"
The report declares that unprece-
denied profits are shown in a survey
of the packing industry. In this con-
nection it is said:
Five meat packers, Armour, Swift
Morris, Wilson and Cudahy, and their
subsidiary and affiliated companies,
have monopolistic control of the meat
industry and are looking out for like
domination in other products. Their
manipulation of the market embraces
every device that is useful to them
without regard to law. Their re-
ward, expressed in terms Of profit
reveals that four Of these concerns
have pocketed in 1915, 1915, 1917,
$140, 100000. However delicate :
definition is framed for prof1teering,
these packers have preyed upon the
people Internationally"
Investigation in the coal mining in
dustry reveals in the opinion of the
commission that despite government
price fixing large margins of profit
have been made. Ranges in the cost
of production in a field having the
same maximum prices has caused
some operators to make small mar
gins of profit and others large mar
gins, the bulk of the production en-
| joying the large margin.
In the Oil industry large profits are
now made in fuel oils and gasolene,
the industry being pne where the law
of supply and demand still operates
The operation of this law is held to
he in part responsible for the heavy
profits, but a part Of the blame is
said to be spreading of false reports
regarding supplies.
| Steel companies made abnormal
profits before the government fixed a
price for the product, and it is shown
that some have since made unusual
returns. Profits of the United States
Steel Co. are estimated at 24.9 per
cent in 1917, as ocompared with 15.e
per cent. in 1915, and So per cent. in
1915.
In virtually every one of the other
industries covered by the report 1t is
shown unusually heavy profits have
been made in the last few years. Alb
normal salaries are also shown to
have been paid executive officials.
These practices contributing in ad-
dition to profits to higher prices to
consumers are noted as failure to
ship goods on rising market or re-
Ifusal to accept goods on a falling
market, commercial bribery, and the
tendency of manufacturers to main
tain a resale price.

to facilitate the highway transporta-
ton of munitions, foedstuffs and es-
sential supplies, and the necessary

ada the actual yield will only be about
one hundred thirty million bushels.
This is an enormous shortage. In ad-
dition the drought materially reduced
the yields in Oklahoma, Kansas and
Missouri, the great winter wheat areas.
Reports from these sections indicate
that wheat threshed only from six to
ten bushels per acre and many fields
were never threshed. Iowa with her
favorable seasons must make up the
shortage for the less fortunate terri
tories If our soldiers are to receive
sufficient -four for their needs.
Senator Kenyon stated in his Dairy
Day address at Delhi that we now had
one and one-half million soldiers in
France, were to have two million by
this fall and practically three million
by next summer.
1t is easy now to understand why
the government is so anxious that we
do our part.
Every farmer is expected to raise
two or more acres Of winter wheat. In
cases where the soil is very sandy or
inferior for growing winter wheat an
equal amount of winter rye may be
substituted, but under no conditions
will any farmer, irrespective Of the
size of the farm, get by without meet
ing this request from the government.
Some excellent winter wheat seed
has been located in Clayton and ALA
makee counties and those farmers liv-
ing near the northern part of Della
ware county can secure their seed in
the territory east of Edgewood. Ell
mer Lux, George Mccormick, and 9th
ers in the neighborhood of Delhi will
be able to furnish about eight hundred
bushels of winter wheat seed. For the
rest of the county arrangements will
be made to ship in carload Of winter
wheat to Manchester. This seed is to
be purchased by Mr.. Charles Noble
and parties wishing to secure seed
from Manchester should notify either
Mr.. Noble or the County Agent This
seed will be of good quality and will
cost about S2.35 per bushel.
