Farmer Not to
Blame For Prices


LONDON, Jan. 16.-Herbert c.
Hoover, Food Administrator, on his
visit to England assured the people
Of this country that the high cost Of
food was not due to any profteering
BY farmers in the United States. The
statement he issued to the Britain
press shows that the guaranteed
price Of grain to the American far
mef not only is smaller than the
guarantee to the British farmer but
the Americans yield is fifty per cent
less an acre. If the British shipping
rate, Mr.. Hoover said, had increased
only pro RITZ to the American far
mer's increase, the cost Of wheat in
England would be about $29 quar-
ter of 480 pounds, instead Of. the
present S26.75.
II keenly realize" Mr.. Hoover said
show hard the present price levels
bear on all consumers and more es-
pecially upon the Allied peoples
whose economic wage plane is much
below that in the United States. So
far as the United States is concerned,
it is not matter of profteering, but
is one of deep complexity of econom-
ic forces and provision for world ne
cessities." He cited a table indicat-
ing the comparative levels before and
after the establishment Of war con-
trolls by the United States govern
ment of prices of wheat, hogs, maize,
oats, sugar, steel and copper, adding
that "prices have been invariably the
same to the Allies as to our own con-
sumers and our own government"
"The high price levels, however,
created before we entered the war"
the statement continued, "causd our
labor and other food productions
costs to increase by leaps and bounds,
and to prevent any return during the
war to 1914 levels"
After discussing factors other than
American conditions which have in
creased the costrof food to the Allies,
particularly overseas transport, he
noted that feed prices paid to the En-
glish farmer were about seventy per-
cent higher than the prices realized
by the American farmer for oats and
barley.
81 am in hopes" he said, "that the
freeing Of the seas from war losses
may render it possible quickly to re-
duce sea charges to at least the same
ratio Of increase as the American
farmer receives"
Profteering and speculation in
pork have been removed in the Stat
es, Mr.. Hoover.told the British peo-
pie, by government control of the
packing houses. He added;
I'm broad view / am certain our
agriculture margins are so low that
a ten percent reduction in prices to
our farmers would stife our produc-
ton to the extinction Of our conse-
quential export SURPRISES. This mar
gin of ten prcent is the price that our
own consumers and your consumers
pay for stimulation of production.
Our American consumers rightfully
hut cheerfully feel that we are taking
from them this extra ten percent in
prices in order that we may take our
part in carrying this world burden.
As view the worlds food assets this
! am convinced that the ex-
ira marginal surplus from the United
States is of priceless value to the i'm
nensity of human life at stak be-
,ween now and next harvest"

Officer Of Old Reliable Fair Company

TOBACCO MARKET STEADY
THROUGHOUT THE DAY
Another Considerable Rush at the LO.
cal Warehouses About Noon To.
day When Much Tobacco Is
Delivered.

Things seemed to be slowing up just
little on the Maysville tobacco mar
ket during the first part of the week
so that the warehousemen would be
able to get Just little breath but at
noon today the streets were again fill
ed with wagons in the tobacco district
and there seems as though there
would be quite a rush on the market
tomorrow. -
Prices throughout today have been
high again with all warehouses re-
porting that the market was steady in
the face of quality of tobacco that
was not altogether up to the stan
dard. So far the sales this week have
been heavy and it looks as though this
week about as much leaf would be
sold as there was last.

ALLEGED FLEMING
BOOTLEGGER DISAPPEARS

The Fleming Gazette, of Flemings-
burg, says In reference to the ar
rest of Clarence Ervine and o. |. Rob-
bins for bringing whiskey into dry
territory last week, the statement was
made that IRVINE had given bond
which was a mistake. We were mis-
informed, and IRVINE at the time was
in Jail. Mr.. Robbins who is under
5000 bond for the charge against him
left here Wednesday night with two
or three grips, and has not since been
back. 1t is quite likely that he will
be indicted by the grand jury which
convenes today, and in the event he
does not show up his bond of 5000 will
be declared forfeited, and the indict-
ments will be held against him, Com
monwealths Attorney Grannis states
Ervine will also in all probability be
indicated by the grand grand jury.

local MEN ARE
INTERESTED IN ~"
FOR MAYSv|LLE
Prominent Business Men Realizing
That Proper Influence Is Neces.
sary Around Youths Are In
terested In Y. M. C. A.

Invitations were received today by
a number Of our business men, who
are interested in the development OF
the moral and physical welfare of our
boys and young men, from District
Secretary Zerfoss Of Lexington to
meet him at dinner conference at
the Whitehall Hotel Friday evening
Shortly after the declaration of war,
Mr.. Zerfosss two sons joined the col
ors and he. being patriotic spirited
lawyer-citizen of Boyd county could
not resist the call to enter some
branch of war work. With the desire
to serve his country and be of what
ever help and inspiration he could to
the soldier boys, he enlisted in the Y.
M. c. A. work. He proved such ca
pable Secretary that the State officers
appreciated the value he could be as
state worker and they accordingly ap-
pointed him Secretary of the LeXing-
ton District of which Maysville is
part.
Mr.. Zerfoss, on recent visit to
Maysville took up the matter of boys
religious work with Prof. Dale. The
High School boys were given similar
course last year under the tutelage
Of Mr.. H. c. Curran and ranked among
the first throughout the state in cred
its.
A number of our prominent citi-
zens, who realize that unless the prop
err influences are thrown around the
youths of our city, are interested in
the establishment of a Y. M. c. A. that
will supply the needed physical and
moral development and go hand in
hand with our splendid system of
mental development.
At the meeting Friday night it is
l expected that Secretary Zerfoss will
explain the city and state program of
work, as outlined by the national or
ganization. The Y. NJ. c. A. is to
make some wonderous strides in the
next few years, in fact, the old system
has been entirely renovated in pass
ing through the world war crisis.
Mason county has always been re-
cognized as leader in this state in
all advance movements and we pre-.
dict that she will be one of the first
to line up with the state in carrying
out the proposed program of work.
