WATCH YOUR STEP

Crowded to the brim with melody,
dancing and laughter, and played in
a sparkling manner by a company
who never seem to tire. Watch
Your Step," Irving Berlin's interna-
tional syncopated musical success,
will be the offering at the Temple
next Wednesday evening.
There is an intoxicating "some-
thing" about "Watch Your STEP" so
it is said, that savors of the best the
stage has produced in the musical
way in long time. 1t has wealth
of harmony of the kind that makes
you want to join in the singing, or
dance, or whistle the tunes. It's
comedy is rich and its story amusing.
1T just seems to carry itself along
with dash and a rhythm that is de-
|lightfully irresistible.
Along with everything else, the
scenic effects and costuming are of a
high order and it is seldom that one
sees such a refreshing succession of
original ideas in stage settings, the
light and color of which harmonic
SO WELL.
In "Watch Your STEP" stagecraft
is one of the chief factors in making
the very desirable first impression,
which is sustained throughout the
action of the production.
Down to the smallest detail as well
as in the big things, the company
and the production reflect the intelli-
gence and care taken by the pro-
ducer.

RESTRICTIONS ON FEED
HAVE NOT BEEN RELAXED
Dealers Who Don't Watch Their Step
are Likely to Find Themselves
in Trouble

Orlando, Jan. 15.-Complaints are
being made to Federal Food Admin
istrator Braxton Beacham that deal
ers in feed are raising their prices
above all previously fixed margins,
and instructions have been issued by
Mr.. Beacham to his staff of inspee
tors to report every dealer who ad-
vances his charges above a reason
able margin. A recent message from
Washington sets at rest any doubt as
to the continuance of control of
prices by the food administration in
dealing with feeding stouff. This
message reads as follows: >
"Some feed dealers seem to have
the impression that all restrictions
are off. While specific margins for
wheat mill feeds have been removed,
the rules limiting permissible annual
net extensions are still in force. The
note to rule XXV-B-7 limits whole
salers to four per cent on gross sales
and rule xvii limits retailers to
six per cent on annual business"
Since Administrator Beacham some
time ago fixed the margins of profit
for feed dealers at retail in this state
no change has been made by him ir
the schedules then established, and
he points out to the trade that those
margins are still in force. Those
who persist in raising their prices te
an unreasonable point are taking the
risk of encountering the enforcement
division workers who are in the field
at the present time for the sole pur.
pose of preventing undue increase in
prices of all food commodities. Re.
taxation of license requirements anc
other rules of the food administra.
ton do not give general privilege
of price raising.

RELIEF FOR THE NEAR EAST

Although President Wilson has
asked Congress for an appropriation
OF $1OO,0O0,00O for food relief in the
countries ravaged by the war, yet it
is not intended that this shall in any
way take the place of the subscrip-
ton that is being asked for relief
and habilitation in the Near East. A
cablegram from President Wilson to
Cleveland H. Dodge, New York, treas
urer of this fund, says so in so many
words, and the president expresses
the hope that the subscription will
not in any way be interrupted or re-
duced. A. cablegram from Herbert
Hoover on behalf of the Inter-Allied
Food Committee declares that it is
the purpose of the United States and
the Allies to furnish food supplies as
far as possible through loans made
to responsible governments. But he
says there are many areas in which
this is not possible because no re-
sponsible government exists. and IN
such areas aid will have to be giveI.
by other means This. is precisely
the situation in the Near East, where
the suffering people have no funds,
and cannot secure government loans
and have no other credit. 1t is the
plan of Mr.. Hoover just .as soon as
the committee on relief in the Near
East shall be able to finance their
work to allocate to it a sufficient
amount of food for the needs of these
afflicted lands. Therefore it is the
immediate duty and privilege of the
American people to furnish the
means by which these people can be
fed. "The Kings business requires
haste" While we wait people are dy-
ing.
Marion county is asked for $4,000
for this purpose. 1t ought not to be
hard to raise it. If the people viii
think awhile on the Golden Rule the
funds will be Forthcoming.

Orlando, Jan. 15.-The Key West

federal food administrator, Braxton
Beacham, owing to the fact that Ar

The appeal stays the execution OF

original order would have prevented
