Ito winning it more quickly, and
at less cost to American lives
Secretary Wickard took the hero
ic stand that the American people
would not let him down when he
told the Nation in plain language
that his rationing plan would not
be put into effect until. February.
He said there was plenty of food,
but that control and distribution
of it must be carefully executed.
There was enough, he said to go
around in our own country, and for
distribution among our Allies. Il
am confident that Americans will
have the commonsense and patriot
ism not to hoard dried fruits and
any other food for that matter" he

warning: "If you want to help the

Axis. one of the best ways is to
hoard food"
Nobody but an honest American
could take that position. Wickard
believes in the honesty of the peo-
pie, and he has asked them to ac-
cept the spirit behind his rationing
plan and to help him carry 1t out.
This is a new DEAL" and the
announcement and explanation has
been warmly approved by the
press. and the food trade. National
responsibility had been invoked by
the man who came to Washington
from his Indiana farm, and rose to
the top of the Agriculture Depart
ment ON his merits. He has staked
his political future on the success
of his unique formula as Food Ad-
ministrator. If his critics are right
in saying that the chiselers will
break down the plan then Washing
ton will miss its guess. Every con-
sumer has been put on his, or her,

people can be trusted. and they'll

This post is rated as 100 per cent
post. but on last Thursday night
the observer who was to do the
midnight turn. was one-half hour
late. through no fault of his. as he
has been a very faithful observer
and punctually on time. On this
particular night he left word before
going to bed to be called on time
to make his turn, but the party who
was to call him was delayed. Find
ing he was late he hurriedly drove
TO his post. Upon his arrival he
was surprised to see quite num-
Der of persons around the building,
and when entering he soon learned
that an unannounced army inspec-

CEREMONIAL TONIGHT
tcontinued from FIRST PsEel

technical training at QuanticO, Va.
He arrived at Guadalcanal August
:, 1912. and was wounded October
IS. 1912. His thrilling account of
this major engagement is a rare
treat.
Several candidates for member
ship will receive the degree in full
ceremonial form under the direc-
ton of the Royal Rangers. This
laugh making meature promises TO
be good.
The show scheduled TO so on
late in the program is an all girl
review, furnished by Walter w.
Griffin. contractor, who will direct
the program as master of cere-
monies. 1t includes Dot Lull, in a
singing and dancing number; Peg
gy Fox. Il little girl with big
Xylophone. Something new in nov
city, Vesta Victoria, in snappy stOr-
les and songs. and Peggy Martin in
dances of the South Sea Islands.
This show comes direct from a
Philadelphia night club, and is well
recommended.
An item of particular interest to
all Tall Cedars is the cancellation
of the Supreme Forest Convention
in Atlantic City, due to present day
conditions. Nevertheless. stream
lined business meeting will be held
in the Benjamin Franklin Hotel,
Philadelphia, on Friday, May 21, at

represent Evergreen Forest at the
meeting.
No announcement will be made
at this time as to when Evergreen
Forest will reopen in the fall. This
depends entirely upon conditions
existing at the time. The forest ex-

situation and notify the member

the federal marketing order and
there is a ceiling price already es-
tablished by federal order as TO
the highest price the Wilmington
dealers can pay our producers. we
can not voluntarily make this 35
cents per hundred pound increase
to our farmers. AS a result. a very
unsatisfactory situation exists as
TO milk supply in Wilmington and
throughout the state. Naturally.
Delaware producers also sell to
Philadelphia dealers and they will
market their milk where the high
est price can be obtained, thereby
causing us to lose much of our
supply of milk in the Wilmington
area" the petition states.
Because the Philadelphia dealers
can pay the added price there are
two prices being paid in the same
territory and much of our supply
will be diverted because of this
condition"
The dealers asserted that they
could not continue to operate if the
ceiling price to the producer were
increased the 30 cents per hun
dred pounds without an accom-
panying rise in the retail price of
one cent per quart. They said the
proposed retail increase would
amount to approximately 46 cents
per hundred pounds.
Order Barred Boost
An increase in the consumers
milk price had been expected here
after the Philadelphia increase was
granted However. the Presidents
hold the line" order blocked that
proposal il was said. leaving Della
ware dealers in their present pre-
dicament.
A similar situation existed last
spring, when producers shipped
larger quantities than normal to
Norfolk and Philadelphia because
of higher prices in those markets.
The price differential was removed
by an increase here.
The petition already delivered to
Mr.. Wells was signed by a dozen
dealers in New Castle county. Sim
liar petitions are being circulated
among dealers in Kent and Sussex
counties.

warded to the regional OPA office
