BRITISH FOOD CONSUMERS
ASK GOVERNMENT CONTROL

the food control bill. shall not be
abandoned until full supplies are In
sight-and at present England is far
from being completely fed; that the
coupon system OF food purchases
should be abrogated as soon as a
safe food margin is guaranteed. but
that the government fixing of re-
tail prices should be maintained un-
til conditions are ameliorated.
Continue Food Ministry.
In its interim report the commit
tee expresses two general conclu-
sions, unanimously reached. These
are:
(a) The effectiveness and beneficial
results of control Gncluding control
of transporO have been manifest in
keeping the price OF commodities at
a reasonable level to the consumer.
and the subcommittee will accord
ingly go more fully into the whole
matter with a view to bringing def
mite proposals before the Consumers
Council for the coordination of the
different departments affecting the
well-being OF the people.
(b) That this subcommittee, while
strongly in favor of abrogating, forth
with all the measures which have
been enacted under the defense OF
the realm act in restriction of per-
sonaI freedom of every kind. express
their opinion that 1t would be a
great misfortune to the country il
the admirable service rendered by
the ministry of food and its various
committees were put an end to, the
subcommittee being firmly convinced
that coordination in production and
distribution, under central control
has proved exceedingly advan-
tageous to the whole community dur
ing the war and will prove equally
to their advantage in time Of peace
This policy should therefore be con-
tinued and developed as part Of the
national interest.

FARMER TAKES

Meets Worlds Greatest
Faro Dealer in Chicago.
Aids Police Nab Him.

Chicsgo-Frederick Kunz was
prosperous Iowan with a farm
near Sioux City. He didn't have much
to do except attend to the cows and
chickens. so he put his wallet in an
inside pocket and came to Chicago
a few days ago TO see the sights.
Farmer .Kunz didn't have any hay
seed on him so he registered at one
OF the big loop hotels. There he met
a stranger of magnetic mein. They
talked about the league of nations.
'The Follies" and few other equally
interesting things and then the
stranger led Farmer Kunz aside and
the plot:

Farmer Kunz.

And so they met-Farmer Kunz

again was put before Farmer Kun
and he pulled out his wallet and was
