Warning to Wheat Dealers

Another move in the govern

day by the wheat director, julius,
H. Barnes, in warning all dealers in
wheat. wheat flour and other pro-
ducts delinquent in taking out feder-
{ | licenses to obtain them at once.
under pain of prosecution by the
Department of justice
The license requirements, under
an act of Congress of last March
and a presidential proclamation Of
last June, will be rigidly enforced.
Mr.. Barnes notified the dealers.
The only exceptions to the regula-
tions to the wheat directorate are
bakers consuming less than fifty
barrels of wheat -four monthly, re-
tailers. farmers and farmers CO.
operative associations.
License control under the wheat
director is made necessary. Mr.
Barnes said in a statement Sunday
as one of the steps in carrying out
the price guarantee for the 1918
wheat crop, and to protect the gov
ernment against undue enhance,
ment of ite liabilities hereunder.
Another effect. he said. of the
licensing of handlers of wheat and
its products would be to prevent
boarding and profiteering in these
commodities, and permit regulation
of profits.

A contemporary says that news
paper subscriptions are infallible
tests of a mans honesty. They will
sooner or later discover the man.
If he is dishonest he will cheat the
printer some way; say he has re-
ceipt somewhere. or sent the money
and it was lost in the mail. or he
will take the paper and not pay for
it on the ground that he did not
subscribe for it. or move away,
leaving it to come to the Office he
left. Thousands of professed chris
tians are dishonest in this particular
at least, and the printers book will
tell fearful tales in final judgement.
