HIT FOOD PROT ITEERS

British Parliament Asks Controller
for Explanation Of Existing

London.-Food profiteering is caus-
ing some anxious moments among the
housewives of England, and thus far
prevents the abandonment of the food
control Office.
Relaxation of control has been fol-
lowed by great advances in many
classes of fOOdstuffs, and by practical
. withdrawal of others from the mar
ket. The American bacon, for in
stance, recently despised by the aver
age Britisher because 1t wasn't of so
good grade as they could get at
home In pre-war times-has been
wiped off the counters.

Recently G. H. Roberts, the food

control of bacon and two or three

has had to face questioning In parlia-

Live Stock Breed
ers Organize
From The Boyne Citizen)

One OF the most important meetings
ever held in the County, for its de-
velopment and wealth producing quail
ties was held at East Jordan, Thursday
afternoon, when the CharlevoiX Live
Stock Breeders Assn was organized
under the auspices and direction OF
e. w. Wing, our County Agent, who
by the way is ever on the alert toward
fostering and directing anything and
everything that means better county.
The meeting was well attended and
the county well represented by the
lovers OF pure-bred live stock.
Instructive and inspiring talks were
made by X. D. Bisbee OF East Jordan,
Roy V. Otto OF the Loeb -Farms,- Mr..
Paddock of Charlevoix and Sam Rogers
OF East Jordan and others.
The officers elected were: Presi-
dent Frank Bird; Vice President Sam
Rogers; Secy. Treas. James Hart.
Direct action and instant success
was assured the movement by the plan
OF dividing the membership into groups
favoring the different types Of cattle.
Mr.. Otto OF the Loeb Farms heads
the Holstein Breeders Division, Mr..
Emmett Golfer of Charevoix heads the
Jersey division. Mr.. Rogers Of East
Jordan heads the Short Horn Division,
and James Hart OF East Jordan the
Guernsey division.
Anyone in the county wanting a sire
or female OF any Of these breeds has
only TO call up or visit one OF these
men and he will be given prompt in
formation as to where and how to fill
his wants.
1t developed during the meeting that
the Loeb people will give the service
free of their $4,000 bull to any one
owning registered Holstein COW.
Mr.. Wilson the Mayor of East Jordan
spoke for the East Jordan Fair and
wanted all TO understand that il is a
COUNTY FAIR" and not local mat
ter. His remarks were well received
and the fair will be better patronized
from now on.
One OF the direct results OF the organ
ization was passage OF a resolution
asking our representatives at Lansing
to pass law making it misdemeanor
to allow owners Of scrub bulls to run at
large and making them liable for dam
ages where valuable cows have been
clandestnely served by these scrubs.
The bankers OF the county expressed
their willingness and desire to assist
the farmers by loans in getting improv-
ed live stock.
The association was invited to have
their next meeting here and it will be
even more largely attended than the
first.
There will be good natured rivalry
among the different fancies OF live
stock, in getting in speakers and arous-
ing enthusiasm for the different breeds.

fracture was so serious the limb was
amputated and q wooden one substi-

FERTILIZER PRICES
NOW SHOW BIG DROP

East Lansing, July 3lst.-Fertilizer
price lists for fall delivery which have
recently been issued show a drop in
prices which ranges as high as 25 TO 30
per cent for mixed goods. Acid phos-
phate is only one dollar a ton lower
than last springs price, but there is a
decided drop in all mixed fertilizers.
Prof. A. &. Patten, Experiment Station
Chemist at M. A. c., says that prices
are set now and predicts that there will
be no further drop this season. This
means that farmers are safe in buying
now for fall delivery.

Stern Justice for Germany.

Germany must make good. She must restore
what she has destroyed, SC far as that is hum
anly possible Her sins are not to be forgiven.
The hun must pay the penalty for his crimes.
Let stern justice be melted out. Let no mauldn
sentiment interfere with the retribution to be
suffered by Prussian militarism and all it re-
presents.
Bulgaria and Turkey having been even
worse than the Hun, We're that possible, should
be punished equally as severe as Germany
No punishment can fit the crimes of the Bull
gar, the Hun and the Turk, but that is no excuse
for the cheap talk of pity and forgiveness
which is a feature of Germanys whining
The only peace the American people will as
sent to is that will insure tranquility for the
world for the coming generations.
Severe punishment for the perpetrators of
this great crime against humanity is one of the
best ways to prevent recurrence of such a
thing.

Plau Safe on Cotton.

The biggest cut in the price of cotton goods
since the Civil War was announced recently.
This was followed last week by sensational
break in the cotton market and in one day last
SO bale making total decline of about 400
points in cotton in three weeks time.
1t is true that part of this big loss has since
been regained, but it heavy reduction III
freight rates on cotton to England that caused
the market to rally.
These things should cause the farmers to dc
good deal of thinking before they plant big
crop of cotton this spring.
Even now, many farmers are making plans
fer spring planting, and in 80 days from now
planting will be in full swing.
The prosperity of the entire South for several
years to come may depend upon the size of the
cotton crop this year.
Overproduction is mighty dangerous thing,
and should be guarded against.
The average cotton farmer is the most invet-
crate and resolute opponent of a big acreage
of all human beings. He believes the acreage
ought to be reduced--in fact he will express
himself stronger and say that he KNOWS the
acreage ought to be reduced.
He believes further that the thing ought to
be accomplished by letting the other fellow do
the reducing.
Diversfication has been preached for years
and now is good time for the farmers to prac-
tice it, for no one knows how low the price of
it made this year.
1t is going to cost great deal of money to
make cotton crop this year, and its mighty
good time for every farmer to play safe and
produce an abundance of food crops.

this a magnificent plan, and pass this bit of

it will be adopted here in the South. The tree
planted may be either a fruit or shade tree,
