Fuel Administrator Needed For Such In these times when some would go beyond the limit in taking profits and making exhorbitant and un reasonable charges, the office of the government administrator is to call such down as would take extortion ate price*, otherwise only a few would be able to buy and' the rest would suffer. A reasonable price is what the government aims at, that all may procure what they need. Only a fe.v day ago a man came in town with a load of stove wood—not over a third of a cord, perhaps less, and held it for $4.00. Was offered t'i 00, bat would not take it. It is estimated that the price asked would have made a cord cost more than sl2, perhaps sl4. That was an un reasonable price, and it is the Fuel Administrator's business to protect the consumer against such. Will Help Drafted Men FUI Question aires. Messrs. E. 8. Parker, Jr„ J.
