EGG DEALERS ARE TO
STUDY THE SITUATION

Pierre, 8. D., Dec. 2.-The market
commission has been receiving COM
|plaints that discrimination is being
made against eggs shipped from South
Dakota to Chicago and other markets,
on the claim that the South Dakota
eggs average smaller and are not
sorted and graded before shipment.
The department consequently has
concluded to have hearings ovea the
state to enable producers to be pres
ent and show the difficulties under
which producers n shippers are la
boring. The hearings will be as fol-
lows:
Brookings, December 2. 10 a. M;
Watertown, December 3. 3 p. M; Abb
erdeen, December 4, l p. M; Mitchell,
December s, 10 a. M; Nermilion. De-
cember Q, 8: 80 a. M; Elk Point, De-
cenlber 6, 2 p. M; Canton, December
Z, 10 a. m, and Sioux Falls, Deem
Der 8, 10 a. m.
After investigation the department
will perhaps prescribe standards for
grading and classification of farm pro-
ducts, as 1t is authorized by law to
do.

GROCER FINED
$lOO FOR FALSE
SUGAR CARDS
Red Cross to Benefit by Mis-
statements Made by
M. Berk

A fine of 500 to the Red Cross
confiscation of over 500 pounds OF
sugar, withdrawal of unused certifi-
Gates for 1900 pounds and discontin-
uance of all sugar sales for an in
definite period constituted the penal
ties imposed on NJ. Berk, grocer, in
business at 621 Wiconisco street, this
morning by the Dauphin County Food
Administrator.
Berk, who stated that he is a NOV
ing picture operator in addition to
owning grocery store. signed a
statement July stating that he used
S,761 pounds of sugar during April
May and June last. He claimed to
have $50 pounds of sugar on hand
July 1. Investigation by Federal
agents disclosed the fact that Berk
actually used less than $500 pounds
during the three months before July
The sugar now held by Berk will
be redistributed by the food admin
istrator. Berk, through his misstate-
ment, was able to secure sugar double
expense of other dealers in that dis
trict, who had observed the rulings
and turned in exact statements re-
garding their purchases and sales
of sugar.
Investigation of other statements
are being made.

Only Buildings That Are I'm

Government Plan; Building
Operations Need Little En-
couragement to Resume

Washington, Aug. 21.-The con-
stantly growing demand for housing,
coupled with the increased cost and
call for building material, has caused
many inquiries to be made of late
as to just what stand the United
States government took in the mat
ter. Included among these is one
from Harrisburg.
Numerous orders has been issued
by the Treasury Department restrict
ing building and there have been
several debates in Congress on the
subject, but it is evident that they
have not been clearly understood by
those interested in the trade.
When asked for an elaboration of
his statement concerning the desir-
ability of restricting at this time un-
necessary building operation, and
just what he defined as unnecessary
building, Secretary of the Treasury
William G.. McAdoo, said:
1T is only by subordinating local
and personal interests to the general
welfare, and by enforcing the most
rigid economy in matters of public
and private enterprises, as well as in
matters of personal expenditure. that
the United States can hope to bear
it's part of the financial burden of the
war and to release sufficient labor
