RETURNED TO CHARGES

The local pastors of the Methodist
churches were returned to their charges
by Bishop Atkins at the concluding serv-
ice of the North Alabama conference Sun
day evening. 1t was expected that they
would be returned, and the fact is most
gratifying to the congregations, who had
requested that the pastors continue to
serve them. A most urgent petition was
presented for the return of the pastor
of the First Methodist church, Rev l., r.
Stansell, as the church had made a re-
markable record under his pastorate, and
he is universally liked in the city.
Rev. w. r. Battle, who will again be in
charge of the Jonesboro Methodist
church. is one of the most popular minis
tiers that has lived in the district in re-
cent years. The congregation of the
Brighton Methodist church were much
gratified that Rev. E. NJ. Barnes was re-
turned, having served only one year at
that church. The reports of the local
ministers at conference were good, as in
terest is high, and the pastors are sup
ported by strong lay organizations.

Washington, Jan. 3l.--RemovaI of
ali restrictions ON margins of profit
Of foodstuffs. except cotton seed pro-
ducts and eggs, and cancellation of
most license requirements of Import
ers and distributors, effective tomor-
row were announced today by the
food administration on authority of a
proclamation signed by President
Wilson at Paris.
The following only remain under
licenses: Importers and distributors
of wheat, corn, oats, rye, barley and
elevators and warehouses storing
these grains and rice.
Importers, manufacturers and dis
tributors of fresh, canned or cured
beef, pork or mutton, cottonseed, cot
tonseed products, lard butter and
eggs and sugar.
Importers and manufacturers of
rice flour wheat flour and wheat mill
feeds and cold storage warehouse
men.
The margins still allowed are: Re-
tail cold storage and fresh eggs, to
s cents dozen; cottonseed lard sub
stitutes at wholesale 1 IA to 2 cents
pound on more than fifty pound
packages, to 10 per cent on less than
so pound packages, and five to six
cents and Is TO - per cent at retail.
Wholesale margins on eggs differ ac-
cording to the number of services per-
formed by the wholesaler or jobber.
In addition to the regulations cam
celled by the proclamation all re-
naming special regulations govern
ing manufacturers and distributors of
butter were repealed.
In making the announcement the
food administration warned dealers
that the provisions of the food con-
troll act prohibiting profiteering and
unfair practices would be rigidly en-
forced.
This action by the president virtual
ly brings to an end the activities of
the food administration except for
the continued control of the excepted
commodities which, officials explained
is necessary either because Of con-
tractural obligations of the govern
ment OF because of determination
to maintain stabilized prices. IT was
predicted by these officials that most
functions would cease be-
