Building Operations and Issue of Sc
curities Nav be Regulated.

Regulation of the issue of practi-
cally all private securities soon will
be proposed by the government. Leg
islation is being drafted by admins
tration officials in conference with
members of Congress authorizing the
treasury to license each individual Sc
curity issue, and to refuse approval
to enterprises regarded as not essen
tial to the conduct of the war.
A preliminary step, now being con-
sidered at the White House, is issu-
ance Of a proclamation calling on Gov
ernors and Legislatures of all States,
and county, city or other local officials
to cease making expenditures for pub
lie improvements not absolutely neces-
sary and to refuse building or other
permits, so far as possible, to private
construction not contributing directly
to prosecution Of the war.
The result Of the governments un-
dertaking would be far-reaching. Not
only bonds, stocks and other securities
of big corporations would be affected
but building operations on small
scale probably would feel the effect Of
the Tightening of capital. The gov
ernment would have a tight grip on
the securities market with power to
indicate into which ventures capital
should be placed and from which ii
should be withheld until the wars end

NITRATE OF SODA
Farmers Should Make Up Their
Orders Collectively and Determ-
inc How Much is Wanted in Ev-
cry Locality.

Everybody is interested now in nj
trate Of soda, especially farmers, and
The Robesonian is publishing all the
information it can get on its probable
distribution. Mr.. A. T. McCallum Of
Red Springs wrote Maj. Graham,
State Commissioner Of Agriculture,
concerning the purchase and distribu-
tion of nitrate of soda from Chile
by the Federal Department of Agri-
culture for the use of farmers. Mr..
C. R. Hudson, chief of farm demon
stration work Of the State Department
of Agriculture to whom the letter was
referred by Maj. Graham, wrote Mr..
McCallum under date of January Z
that "while arrangements have def
initely been made to make a purchase
of 100000 tons, and while part of it
may be on the way here now, yet we
have no information as to details
about handling it. AS soon as we
have something definite as to details
we will write you".
"In the meantime" MIR Hudson
writes, 81 would suggest that wherev-
er farmers want to buy this salt that
they come together and make up their
orders collectively, so that at the prop
ertime they can furnish information
as to just how much is wanted in any
locality so that shipments may be
made accordingly. My understanding
is that shipments will not be made
to any individual, except to those buy
ing it in very large quantities.

REPORT ON RED CROSSWORD
Appropriations Total About $75,-
-MembershipHasGrow
From 100000 to $22,OOO,GOO.

Appropriations aggregating approx
imately $75,000,000 had been author
lied by the Red Cross war council
since it's creation May 10, last, up to
December %, the council reported
Thursday night in statement giving
the condition of it's finances Of this
sum $30,000,00O actually had been ex-,
pended while collections from the hun
dred million dollar war fund subscrip-
tions have amounted to about $97,-
100000. Officials estimate that at
least another $6,000,OO0 will be col
lected from war fund subscriptions
and some $3,000,000 Of this fund re-
tanned by certain chapters on account
Of the Is per cent which each chapter
was to receive for local war relief
work will bring the total Of the fund
to about $106,00O,OO0 less about $13,-
100000 additional for war relief fund
Of local chapters and an estimated
sum Of 100000 to be paid to chap
ters out Of the fund yet to be collect
ed, leaving available for expenditures
out of the war fund about $88, 8,00O,OO0
The total amount appropriated for
Red Cross work in France is about
| $37 900, 900.
The Red Cross membership has in
creased from less than 100000 last
| May to an estimated total Of 22,000,.
600, while in the same period the mum.
ber of chapters has increased from
some 555 to about $4,000. In addition
to these chapters the Red Cross il

NO RELIEF FOR 60 DAYS
There is Still Large Deficiency Of
Goal and Shortage Will be Felt
Most Seriously This Month and
Next-No Favors Will beShown
in Distribution.

A Washington dispatch of the 10th
stated that A. H. Smith, assistant in
charge of transportation on Eastern
lines, had informed Director-General
McAdoo that the railroad situation
had improved under government reg
ulation sufficiently to guarantee that
there would be no further famine this
winter. A Washington dispatch of the
lILh, however, states that even some
plants making munitions and other
war materials may have to curtail
fuel consumption during the next 60
days, this warning being given by
Fuel Administrator Garfield in a
statement Friday night assuring the
public that every effort would be made
to distribute the available supply of
coal where most needed and that no
partiality would be shown any section
Part of the 38,O00.OOO tons shortage
of the past year had been made up
DR.. Garfield said, but there still is q
large deficiency and it will be felt
chiefly this month ard next There
can be no possible relief for at least
90 days and within that time the sit
uatlon may grow much worse than il
is now, according to DR.. Garfield
Every one must conserve and cur
tail the use of COAL" he declared
while war plants and public utilities
must be favored among Industries, i
is likely that they, too, will feel tn
pinch. 1t is distressing to be oblige,
to witness the hardships the people ar
undergoing. Demands are flooding tn
fuel administration from municipal
tiles, but no locality can b
shown preference and coal will be dis
tributed equitably with no favor
shown The present situation is du
almost wholly to railroad congestion.

SEVERE PENALTIES
FOR BOARDING FOOD
Merchants AreWarned Not to Sell
Customers Larger Quantities Of
Foodstuffs Than Their Reason
able Requirements.

Mr.. II. E. Stacy, food administrator
for Robson county, says he has been
Uniformed that a large number of peo-
syfesare trying to- purchase guam
titles Of flour and other food stuffs,
larger quantities than their reasonable
requirements. The food-control law
describes boarding as any quantity Of
food stuffs above reasonable require
ments for a reasonable length of
time," and a fine of $4,000 or years
Imprisonment, or both, are punish
ments prescribed for violations, to-
gether with confiscation of the goods
boarded. Naturally the goods confis-
Gated will not be paid for.
Mr.. Stacy suggests that from 80 to
40 days supply of staple food COM
modities might well be regarded as a
reasonable amount. He asks the CO.
operation of merchants and asks The
Robesonian to warn them that any
merchant who sells excessive
amounts of food stuffs with knowledge
that they are in excess of the require
ments Of the purchaser for a reas-
enable length Of time is aiding and
abetting the violator of the law and
makes himself liable.
