WHO IS PROFTTEERING?
The Government \ Party To The
 Game of Pro1fteering.
(The American Grocery

It will be recalled that at an execu- tive session of the National Whole sale Grocers' Association, held at the close of the 1919 annual convention, at Cincinnati, a committee was ap- pointed to go to Washington and tender the services of the associa ton in disposing of all the surplus food stuffs which the government might have on hand.
 Three different plans were sub mitted at that time by the committed namely:
 To take over the goods and sell them at a price to be fixed by the government.
 To sell the goods at 8 profit to be fixed and determined by the Food Administration. To sell the goods at just the cost of handling.
 Instead of accepting this gener- ous and patriotic offer, which could not possibly rebound to the financial benefit of the wholesale grocers, the government refused the rendered services of the jobbers and proceed ed, instead, to solicit bids on the goods.
 Some of the supplies were sold in the above manner. Some were unloaded onto munich i pal markets.
 i Some were distributed through parcel post.
 1 Some were awarded to department l stores.
 Brokers, bidding in on the various i stocks of foods, bought them up al i an advantageous price and resold l them at handsome profit to whole | sale grocers. As a fair example, we mention the
 case of one transaction, now notor-
 ious in the trade, in which the gov
 ernment disposed of a lot of 3,000,-
 eco pounds of Oregon prunes at 22 1-2 cents to a firm in the east, which this concern necessarily resold al | profit to the wholesale grocer.
 It is quite properly estimated from
 reliable authority that these prune<
 cost the jobber about 27 cents. The astonishing feature of the case

 And we all went errOund to Smits, and who was standing outside taking potatoes out of a barril and putting them in baskits but Puds, and us fel- lows started to laff, Reddy Merfy say ing, Hello, Puds, wats you think you're doing?
 Are you having a good time, Puds do you need eny help? I sed.

is that the government paid only g 1-2 cents for these prunes which it sold at 22 1-2 cents.
 As a matter of fact, these same prunes, if handled through the wholesale grocer, would have reach ed the consumer at about 15 cents per pound.
 In another instance, the United States Navy Department bought a heavy block of pineapple at from $2.50 to s2.60 per dozen, later resell ing the same lot at S5.4O per dozen, gathering in again a profit of over 100 per cent. No grocer ever made one quarter such profit.
 As a result of the governments ac- tion, a stringent shortage was felt on the pineapple market, which will last throughout the present year and will

mean exorbitant prices of the pro- duct
 Vast quantities of Blue Rose rice have been bought up by the govern ment at 8 cents and sold at 12 cents
 In the spring of 1917 the govern ment requisitioned from the canners from Is to 25 per cent of their packs which had already become the prop erty of the wholesale grocers by vir- tue of signed contracts.
 There are two reasons why the government, of its own initiative, ! should have turned its surplus sup ply of foods into the regular chan nels of trade through the medium of the wholesalers and these two reasons are good business and common jus tice.
 Good business, because in this manner vast sums of money would have been saved to the ultimate con sumcr and profiteering would have been made impossible. Common justice, because the gen erous attitude of the wholesale gro- -cers in willingly sacrificing their private interests to the cause of their country should have prompted at least this much recognition from their government.
 AS 1t is. the government itself has been profiteer and has through di- verting its surplus foods from the established channels of trade, con tributed to the proAteering of others,

Cloudy and Rainy
Weather Again Is
Damaging Cotton

Washington, Oct. 22.-The weather
again was unfavorable for cotton in
most districts of the belt during the
week ending yesterday, according to
the national weather and crop bulle-
tins review of crop conditions. Much
cloudy and rainy weather prevailed in
the belt from the Mississippi Valley
westward where too much rain has
fallen during recent weeks, but show
ers received in the extreme north
western portion were beneficial to the
crop in North Carolina and South
Carolina.
Continued rainy weather and insult
ficient sunshine were unfavorable for
the development of late cotton west of
the Ohio river.
In addition picking was entirely
suspended or progress was greatly re-
tarded. Considerable damage was
done to open cotton by discoloration.
Picking made good progress in the
eastern portion of the belt and nearly
all cotton has been picked in Florida,
Southern Alabama and Georgia while
the harvest is well advanced in South
Carolina.

LADIES! DARkEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea and Sui
phur Recipe and Nobody
Will Know.

The use Of Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded, gray hair to its
natural color dates back to grand
mothers time. She used it to keep
l.er hair beautifully dark, glossy and
attractive. Whenever her hair took
on that dull, faded or streaked APP
pearance, this simple mixture was
applied with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
ou5-of date. Nowadays, by asking
Ut any drug store for a bottle Of
"Wyeth's Sage, and Sulphur Com
pound" you will get this famous old
preparation, improved by the addi-
ton Of other ingredients, which can
be depended upon to restore natural
color and beauty to the hair.
"A well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen a
spenge Or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one strand at a time. By morning
the gray hair disappears, and after
another application or two, it be-
comes beautifully dark and glossy.
