EVERY CITIZEN AN AMERICAN

OF Victory Liberty Loan Committee
Has Active Organization.

Every citizen an American. Every
American a government Srockhoider.
BolShevik doctrines will not flourish in
the pinds and hearts of those who

That Is the threefold object Of the
newly organized woman's foregn-lan'

director for the Seventh federal re-
serve district.
In reply to a question, Mrs. Bemis
said: Our fOrei gnborn women have
often had reason in the past to think
we cared little for them. but now since
their sons and brothers and husbands

WHOLESALE FARM
PRODUCE MARKET
GETS UNDER WAY
City Hopes to Induce Farmers
to Bring More Pro-
duce Here

Preliminary steps looking toward
the establishment of n wholesale
farm produce market in Harrisburg,
where retailers and consumers alike
may go to buy in quantity lots, were
taken by the Fair Price Committee
appointed by Donald Mccormick,
Dauphin county Federal Food Ad-
ministrator, at a meeting in the Of
fees of the Chamber of Commerce
yesterday afternoon, which was at
tended by Mr.. Mccormick, Frank l..
Cook, chairman, Stanley G. Jean,
Mrs. j. C. Jessup, Jr., II. G. Niesley,
Col Edward Schell and G.. NJ. Stein
metz.
1t was brought out In a discussion
of the wholesale market proposal
that in Buffalo, Philadelphia and
elsewhere the thrifty consumer is
greatly benefited by the fact that
the grower is encouraged to bring
large quantities of produce to mar
ket, knowing that he can dispose of
them, and by the privilege which the
consumer has of going into the
wholesale markets himself and buy
ing in basket lots at correspond
ingly low prices.
Ihe luea Oh the Fair Price Com
mittee is to encourage production
of farm produce and to induce
farmers and big growers to bring
more to the city than they now do.
This would enable the grocery stores
to carry at all times a larger and
better variety of fresh vegetables
and would permit the housekeeper
to get better prices and quality or
to go into the wholesale market,
especially during the canning sea-
son, to take advantage of the basket
prices. No goods in quantities
smaller than basket, a bushel or
dozen lots would be sold on this
market and it is likely that a rule
will be necessary to keep the for
eign buyer from coming in to gather
up vegetables and fruits to be ship
ped abroad.

pointed a committee to call upon
the new chief of the State Bureau
of Markets, Guy c. Smith, to get his
ideas before going ahead with plans.
The idea is to encourage farm
production by Offering the grower
a certain market for his goods with
out the necessity of peddling them
about the streets all day and to help
the consumer by providing Il place
where he, as well as the retailer can
buy in quantity lots, particularly
during the preserving season, at
prices below those charged for fruits
and vegetables in small amounts"
said Mr.. Mccormick, "of course, if
the plan goes through, il will be
necessary to limit the wholesale
market to such an extent that it
would not interfere with the retail
