MAY DROP SIACKERS' LIST.
Case of Mistake May Involve United
States in Damage Suit

Washington, April l5.-An over-zealous
bit OF patriotism may cause the entire
abandonment Of plans by the War De
partment to publish lists Of draft dodgers
during the war Out in Ohio a youth
decided he wanted 70 enlist and he did,
under an assumed name, his real identity
being lost 10 the service.
While the Ohio boy, whose name was
not given out. will not be listed as a
Stacker, because his case is known, the
instance has suggested to Mr.. Dough
crtv the possibility that others might
have followed his method in enlisting
and that they may now be marked down
as draft dodgers.
Mr.. Daugherty will have before him
soon an opinion from Guy ID. Goff,
assistant to the Attorney General, on
the liability of the government and its
officials if persons are listed erroneously
as draft dodgers.
The Attorney General, it is believed,
thinks't the government will be liable in
case of mistakes This was his informal
ruling in conversation with Secretary
of War Weeks The lists may not be
published if Mr. Daugherty holds to his
first belief after more thorough exami-
nation of the matter.

FOOD PRODUCTS
OF Utmost Purity and
Food Value

If you will but consult your grocer
regarding the true values Of different
grades of goods, you most assuredly
will increase the purchasing power of
your dollars and strike straight a one
of the main roots Of high costs by
wedding out extravaganza.
What the buyer demands more
than any other one thing deter
mines the market price Of COM
modities cf all sorts. If you demand
full-value foods, insist upon having
them, you will get them and at legiti-
mate prices. Persistent demand for
top-price goods of ques tionable value
will then be sharply curtailed and pro-
'duction stimulated in lines Of max
inum merit. And with this increased
production will come lower costs,
just as sure as day follows night.
The solution OF the problem so far
as the consumer is concerned is SIM
ply this: select only proudcts of rec
ognized value, sold at lowest prices
permissible under present conditions
eliminate waste-don't encourage
the production of price-heavy prod
ucts-co-operate with your grocer
don't lose sight of the fact that he
must cater to your wishes. Your
demand for the right type OF goods
Is the best means at your command
20 straighten out topsy-turvy condi-
tions which are burden to the con-
scientious manufacturer, the square
dealing grocer and the consumer who
are putting forth every effort under
the sun to reduce the high cost of
production, high cost of merchandise
Ing and high cost of living.
Mr.. John A. Ulman, President of
the National Retail Grocers' Associa-
ton of the United States, an eminent
authority on food values and init
mately acquainted with manufactur-
ing and marketing conditions, urges
close cooperation between retailer
and consumer and careful discrimina-
ton in the selection of merchandise
AS means of restoring prices to
normal and promoting the distribu-
\ ton of the best grade of goods.

GR0CERS WANT
TO HELP LOWER
FOOD COSTS
Not to Blame for HC.L.

The idea that the rank and file of
: grocers throughout the country are
boosting prices for the sake Of realiz-
ing exorbitant profits is absolutely
false.
Rets prices have gone up because
the r. liler has been compelled to
put t m up. The grocer has to pay
more Ass2 his goods, more for rent,
more - clerks salaries; consequent
ly, must charge more.
Shortage of raw materials, of pro-
due civ: labor and demand that has
far cutstripped production are the
dire"t causes of present-day prices.
AS ? rule, the grocer is transacting
business on the same percentage of
profit as in the days Of low selling
prices. ,
Grocers depend upon you for
livelihood. They know just as you
know that to cheat in any way, shape
or form, would kill their trade out
right. Common sense says that no
Intelligent grocer will attempt to
kite" prices beyond legitimate prof
its. He can't afford to.

BUSINESS NOT
A BED OF ROSES
For Man Behind Counter

Because of a scant supply the gro
Ger often has serious trouble in pro-
curing merchandise. He has to stand
the sharp cut of complaints from buy
ers because of high costs. He all too
frequently is blamed, when absolutely
blameless. And is not, on a whole,
making a wider margin of net profit
than he did when conditions were
normal, trade better satisfied and
business transactions decidedly more
pleasant.
The grocer is your servant. He is
in business to serve your require
ments He doesn't make you a slave
to high costs. He is in exactly the
same boat you are in. He sells goods
you want and ask for. He must meet
He has no choice in the matter. he
can't go contrary to your wishes.
The consumer can do more to-
wards restoring prices to normal
levels than the grocer can. This can
be accomplished with positive GER
tainty by buying only food products
Of sound value and proven economy.
Careless buying and rank extrava-
gance are PROFESSIONALLY vital fac
tors in maintenance of high costs.
When a consumer forces a grocer
to sell a sixty-hve-oent article where
q thirty-fve-cent article would an
swer the purpose equally well he is
encouraging production of high
priced goods of short value and
hampering the manufacture of food
products of sound value and fair
prices. On the other hand, when the
consumer insists on goods of inferior
worth he is inviting inevitable waste
that stands for loss rather than
economy. In such occurrences the
consumer, not the grocer, is at fault.
For, remember, the grocer must
give you what you want despite the
fact that he would rather supply
your requirements with goods of
Sterlino value at 4 min mum cost

these vast spans made the hitherto stunned
Bowery very desirable location for many
kinds of business. Merchants that never
would have dreamed of seeking stores on the
old Bowery with its drunken and disordered
stream of human beings, penniless with
no money to waste on sensible offerings, at
once sought places on the reformed Bowery
where there were coming every day many
thousands of respectable folk with money in
their pockets to spend on worthwhile articles
Then followed the removal of the ele
waited railroad pillars from their position
of encroachment upon sidewalks. In the
dark days of the Bowery history the ele-
waited had shut off light from blocks of shops
or rooms that otherwise would have made
desirable shops. When the elevated road
was moved to the centre of the roadway a
food of light was let into these buildings and
they became desirable and rentabe.
The Bowery was reformed in spite of itself.

The advent of prohibition helped TO get
rid of the dives more quickly than lother-
wise would have been possible. Real estate

Changes in Forest Growth Show
Soft Woods Are Replacing Hard

T has been remarked by manys authori-
ties on forestry that when one species
of trees has been removed it's place is
regularly taken by trees Of another kind.
Those who delight in forest landscape can
not fail to observe the same change. This
is accounted for by some on the supposi-
ton that the soil has become Impoverished
Of elements that supported the original
growth, and that it is longer suited to
the further production of such forests. This
theory is in but small part true. In almost
every instance forest covered soil is being
increased and enriched for the continuance
of whatever growth is at any time upon
it. The change of species is owing to change
in conditions
Everywhere in the Northern States. where
"A mixed growth of hard wood and Of soft
wood was native to the soil. the change has
been all in one direction. The hard wood
has given way to the soft. Persons who
have observed with any thought the appear
ance of New England landscapes for fifty
years more are well aware that the hills
are now wearing darker robes than they
