Fair to Both Producer and Con
 sumner

The Department of Justice is after the Raisin Growers Associa- tion for profiteering. It is claim ed that this organizationof produ- cers have put their prices entirely beyond reason.
 This action brings home 10 us the fact that we would most like ly have been accused of profiteer- ing had the price of rough rice been maintained at S12 or S13 per barrel. It would have been a bad thing for the industry had We got . in bad ; withthe general public. The directors of the Southern Rice Growers were very wise in plac- ing the minimums as quoted. Rice at S10 per barrel Is fair to both the producer and consumer. Some producers will think they ought to sell for more the same as some con- sumers think they ought to buy for less; however, there seems to be general satisfaction provided We can get this price and keep in the good graces of the public The Rice Journal.

WARMING Sent Out.

Following arrests that were made last
week when about eight persons about
Frederick city were charged with keep
ing slot machines in their places of bus
mess, Sheriff Klipp and Deputy Sheriff
Dutrow on Saturday afternoon notified
every place of business in the city where
any slot machines or punch boards were
kept or card games were played, to dis
continue the practice and get rid imme-
diately of every slot of gaming device.
The action came following the crusade
against bootleggers and slot machine
owners, which eliminated in raid after
warrants were sworn out by Detectives
Abraham Weinberg and Herbert DePierce
of New York.
1t is understood that these detectives
were brought to Frederick by the Anti
Saloon League forces, the lawbreakers
not being aware of their business. After
the roundup storm of Indignation rose
against the pair, so much indeed that il
is stated they appeared very little on the
streets, and for two nights slept at the
Jail, apparently for self protection.

A ReGuiar Blizzard.

Weather conditions last week were not
as lamb-lke as for several weeks previous.
On Thursday heavy rain fell nearly all
day, the temperature dropping gradually
during the day. In the evening the wind
began blowing and the rain turned to
snow and the worst and first blizzard of
the winter ragged the night. Much of the
snow melted as it fell, but Friday morn
ing found the ground covered with snow
and ice.
Again on Monday night snow fell and
the wind blew considerable, and the tenn
perature dropped to % degrees on Tues
day morning at o'clock.

All Wheat In u. S. Bins.
Private and Public Warehouses
DEPLETED. Says g.. S. Jackson.

Depleted, Says G. S. Jackson.
A peculiar situation exists in the wheat
supply of the country. according to Geo.
S. Jackson vice-president OF the
United States Grain Corporation, the
Federal agency which has controlled the
grain situation in the United States since
the nation went to war. The millers said
Mr.. jackson, failed to put in their usual
supply of wheat when it was plentiful
last fall, and now, in numerous instances
they must buy from the Government,
which has stored in the Northwest and
along the Atlantic seaboard practically
all the visible supply in the country.
"Private and public warehouses have
been depleted" said Mr.. Jackson, and
except for what the Government owns.
there is no wheat to be had. We are
selling the wheat at what it cost the
Government, plus interest charges and
those of storage, which in Baltimore now
amount to IA cents above what the Grain
Corporation paid to have it delivered here
which was $2.3sa per bushel. The fig-
ures vary in different cities but are based
on the rate at Chicago of $2.26, with
freight added according to distance.
The Baltimore zone warehouses and
elevators now have on hand, according
to Mr.. Jackson about 100000 bushels
of wheat and the Grain Corporation is
shipping this as fast as possible to points
in Delaware, Maryland, Virginia. North
Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee. The
total supply in the country is about $780,
600, 600 bushels most of which was in
tended for export until the signing of the
armistce made change necessary. Last
years crop was not as large as had been
anticipated and there is some danger of
a shortage before the next crop is har-
vested. This will not be until June for
Texas wheat and July for the balance of
the country. The price of flour has
shown marked tendency to adva nee
since February, owing to the wheat
shortage, said Mr.. Jackson, who quoted
prices in the local market as of February
as ranging from 5000 to $lO45 per
barrel; March from $!o.75 to $lO.s7,
and on March 80 from $ll.45 to $ll.6O.
GAN the fall crop will be disposed of
with little trouble and there will be little
if any surplus by the time the new crop
10 he;np milled " tremendous acreage
due to the action of Congress in fixing
the price of wheat at $2.26 Chicago has
been planted and this may result in re-
duction of prices of flour. Sun

Officer Robey Arrested.
Left Motorcycle on Street With
out Taillight.


No little excitement was caused this
week by the appearance of two Motor
cycle Traffic Officers in Thurmont. The
news of their appearance spreads IN
double quick time, but with all precau-
tions someone generally gets touched
for violations of the automobile laws.
Officer Robey himself gets in bad with
the law and the boys at times, and on
Tuesday night while attending to bust
ness in Justice CadoW's Office his motor
cycle was standing on the street without
a tail light. The violation was noticed
by Mr.. Leo Creeger and Deputy Lidle
was called on to arrest the officer. Robey
plead guilty, and then technical point
arose in the mind of the Judge as to
whether the state could arrest and fine
itself for violating the law. Before levy
ing a fine it was thought best to get in
formation from the Commissioners OF
Motor Vehicles. However Robey ex-
poets to pay the fine, the same to be
turned in as expenses. This was in
measure case of getting even' with
the State on the part of Mr.. Creeger,
he having recently been assessed $25 and
license revoked for Is days for speeding.
Officer Robey remarked that it would be
a wise thing for him to keep his lamps
trimmed and burning.
Officer Robev caught Earl Bentzell of
near Graceham Tuesday going the limit
and then some, without cards, not slack
ing up going around the corner and two
other charges. He left him down easy
with 500 and costs,
Officer Smith was also in town and
made few collections, among them be-
ing $50 and costs from M. l.. Creeger
for transferring license tags from one
car to another, and S. 90 and costs from
VIM. Sharrer of Rocky Ridge for using
car without tags.
He also asked Orley Policy for his
operators license Orley rides the only
motor bicycle in town and did not happen
to have his card with him. He was not
fined, but likely, scared
Officer Robey says he has often been
fined for speeding, in fact had become
accustomed to it, before he was appoint
ed as officer, and has often been arrested
sine in the business for various violations.
With him it is like taking money our of
one pocket and putting it in the other.
