G. D. Westover was Tacoma
visitor last week.

day of last week. Mr.. Calhoun is

Mr.. P. A. Heney was out last
week to look over his interests al

been a banner year for the sand

doubt due to t. G. Collins good
management and to a greater de
mand for sand and gravel than in
previous years. There has been a
good market the entire winter
in Everett, Ballard, Seattle, Taco
ma and Olympia. The almost daily
coming and going of tugs towing
large barges loaded with saud and
gravel helps us to realize that We

action on the part of the people of
the State to put it out of existence.
Every person who knows of a case
of profiteering and fails to report it,
Attorney General Morris said, is a
friend to the high cost of living in
stead of fighting the profiteerer.
When cases of profiteering are
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1919-10-14

known they should be reported to the
Commonwealth Attorney, whose
duty it is to prosecute all such vio-
laters Of the law. Both fines and
Imprisonment may be imposed for
such offenses. In fact, Attorney
General Morris said "the sky is the
limit"
Several cases of profiteering have
come to the notice Of Attorney Gen
eral Morris. In one instance a local
merchant bought tomatoes for 81 a
bushel and sold them for So. In an
other case a local merchant bought
cantelopes for Is cents each and
sold them for 80 and 40 cents. These
merchants, he said, doubled their
profits and such profiteering should
not be tolerated.
In one way, he said, the govern
ment was helping along profiteering
by selling TO merchants safety razors
and blankets which are unloaded ON
the trade for two or three times what
was paid the government for them.
The government, he said, was not
making a profit, but was aiding the
niddleman to make big profit.
Attorney General Morris is not the
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1919-10-14

only person who believes that it is
up to the people of the State to stop
profiteering. A prominent merchant
here said that the people could put
stop to this practice in short or
der if they would stop buying. "Stop
buying for several weeks" he said,
sand see how quick prices go down"
