Profiteering In Food
Is Here Observer Says

Editor, Times:
We read in your paper Of the
efforts that our President and
members of the Agriculture De-
partment are making to stop
this food profiteering and yet
we go to our neighborhoo store
and pay 10 cents more for q
bunch Of carrots.
All the clerk can tell you Is
that he had to pay more so he
must sell for more. In other
words, it appears that the Gov
ernment'S intentions are good,
but that the Governments and
Mr.. Hoover's results are not dis
cernible as yet.
Things have come to a pretty
state Of affairs when in our mod
ern day we cannot have a Sc
we're drouth without somebody
profiting by it. While the farm
erS in Virginia and Maryland
are suffering, the food mer-
chants and wholesalers are grab
bing in the "simoleonS," due to
a grand and glorious drouth
publicity that has swept the
country.
OF course we know that our
Government is working to bet
ter the situation: but the citi-
zens might as well weep and say
good-by to what money they
have already deposited in the
profiteer's extensive bank &C.
count. It is such q small thing
to pay q few cents more, but as
the cigarette motto says:
what a whale Of a difference
a few cents make!"

His superst1tlous people De-
lieve that he is a representa-
tive Of their gods and devils.
They are especially interested
in the DEVILS Of various
kinds. Many Of them believe
that their god takes life easily,
being intelligent, and does not
worry much about the people
that he has created here be-
low.
The devils, they believe, are
very active, always trying to
annoy them.
And the witch doctors main
income is derived from his
ability to save you from devils,
II you pay the right price.
In primitive religion it is
necessary to show ssigns and
wonders to the people. Theory
10 not enough.
The witch doctor or other
representative Of divine au-
thority must have something to
show, something to PROVE
that he really is what he says
he is.
This curious picture shows a
fetish carried by a>CongO witch
doctor to overawe those that
worship, in him, q representa-
tive Of supreme power.
The white eyes in the small
black, fetish head are made OF
human teeth. And other human
teeth are inserted in the head
in different places.

DIFFICULT TO KEEP
SHARKEY AT BOXING

NEW YORK, May "a OPAL
Johnny Buckley and Al Lacy are making
every effort to convert the yolatilc Jack
Sharkey into . machine-like boxer Of
the Tunney type.
It Is the opinion Of the members Of
the board Of strategy that II the Cob
only will stick to boxing, he will goose
step his way through the schmeling
defenses without any unusual dificulty.
It Is no easy matter, however, to keep
the roaring Cob on the smooth and
even path. Tuesday he turned in a
well nigh perfect exhibition of boxing,
but yesterday, in his flve rounds of box
ing at Orangeburgh, Sharkey was just q
big righthand crazy, and In trying to
put o tremendous lot Of power into his
left hooks, he lost some of the facile
control that he had displayed the
previous day.
The so-called killer instinct Is q great
thing in its proper time and place, but
when one breaks out with It at the
wrong moment, 1t Is likely to prove q
destructive boomerang.

Y eminent League game, dubbed
this loop the "home for the
aged"
It is true that the players in this
loop hang on day after day, game after
game and year after year. but there Is
not one of this "old folks group" who
can be termed as has-been.
When this sideline expert made this
remark he doubtless had In mind such

been playing sandlot base ball for 30
long that their names in the box scores

there's lot Of good b-se ball In their

It may be noticed tina. two Of the five

and the Government, are attracting
more interest than the others, ana the
question may be asked why:
The answer Is the "old folks group

It looks like the battle for the cham

Terminal League will be between Pull

impressed In former games, didn't look
