We have been answering these calls out of pure accommodation and at a great inconvenience to us and our customers at times. But since we are beine CRITICIZED by both DRIVERS and the PUBLIC we are forced to take this action. The DRIVERS criticize us for showing PARTIALITY and the public when disap pointed in getting a car, or when it arrives late. v OUR FOREMOST AND ONLY DUrY TO THE PUBLIC IS TO RENDER EFFICIENT DRUG SERVICE. Knowing that these calls run up into hundreds lots of days, w feel sure that everyone will see Ihe justice of our action from a business poin of view. c it C f t ! s BURKE DRUG COMPANY X !

Erwin, county food ad ministrator, is a legal committee and under direct orders of Attorney Gen eral Palmer and State Food Adminis trator Henry A. Page. That this committee is expected to get busy and give aid in the nation wide drive to see that a legitimate profit is charged on all food stuffs is seen from a letter from the Attorney General's office. In his letter to Mr. Page, the At tornev General says: "In order to secure accurate inf or-' mation relative to charges of profit eering by dealers in necessary com modities it is the desire of the govern ment to ascertain whether or not such dealers are making more than a fair margin of profit. Will you as facturers and producers and not from other wholesale dealers. itetaiiers should buy from wholesale dealers and not from other retailers. There should be but three agencies above the consumer, one producer, or manu facturer, one wholesale dealer and one retail dealer. Merchants who for any reason are not in position to buy wisely and on as good terms as their competitors, should get out ot busi ness, because they are the direct cause of an unnecessary increase in cost to the consumer. In reference to reasonable profits, or margins over cost in shoes, cloth ing and furnishings, it is to be noted that these products are usually pur chased by the retailer directly from the manufacturers, and only one pro fit or margin, that of the retailer, is to be added to the. manufacturer's selling price. As a guide and suggestion to the committee I beg to say that it seems fair and just to accept the pre-war custom and policy of retail dealers of clothing:, shoes, etc., as reasonable IN STAUNTON, SATURDAY j In Pretty Ceremony Miss Addie Kerr Was Married to Capt.

HENRY A. PAGE, U. S. Food Admr. for N. C. President Wilson made .the first speech of his trans-continental tour at Columbus, Ohio, Thursday. At the outset he explained to his audience that he had for a long time wanted to go out and report to his fellow-countrymen concerning those affairs of the world which now need to be set tled. The other speeches being made on (the trip are much along the line j as that at Columbus. Referring to the peace treaty he said: "It seeks to punish one of the greatest wrongs ever done in his tory, the wrong which Germany sought to do the world and to civili zation and there ought to be no weak purpose with regard to the applica tion of the punishment. She attempt- and will remain combined against any who attempted the same things that you attempted. "When gentlemen tell you, there fore, that 'the League of Nations is intended for some other purpose than this, merely reply this to them: 'if we do not do this thing, we have neg lected the central covenant that we made to our people and there will be no statesman of any country who can thereafter promise his people any al leviation from the perils of war. "The passions of this world are not dead; the rivalries of this world have not cooled; they have been rendered hotter than ever. The harness that is to unite nations is more necessary now than it ever was before, and un less there is this sureness of combin ed action before wrong is attempted, wrong will be attempted just as soon as the most ambitious nations can re cover from the financial stress qf this war. "Now, look, what else is in the treaty. This treaty is unique in the history of mankind, because the cen ter of it is the redemption of weak nations.

Prof Hardie Tur insturcted ot employ all his resources as well as those of the bureau of in vestigation to cooperate with you and your committees in seeking out and punishing all violators of the law." Mr. Page's Suggestions. Mr. Page, in writing to Mr. Erwin, says; The County Fair Price committee is a legal body, appointed through the machinery of the food administration and acting under the direction of the attorney general of the United States for the department of justice. It is intended to procure informa tion of profiteering, hoarding, etc., of food and clothing, and to correct same by admonition and reproof as far as possible, and to report dealers who will not act in harmony with them to the department of justice, through the Federal food administrat or for North Carolina. If an involved and intricate situation presents itself which deserves and demands outside help, by reason of its importance, upon request a secret service agent will be sent to make the investigation. It is believed that many retailers of food, clothing and shoes are exacting excessive and unreasonable margins of profit, and that a close investiga tion of costs and selling prices should at once be made. This is the especial task assigned to the county fair price committee. Profits should be figured in percentages of cost of goods, thus eliminating the whole question of the varying expense of doing business, such as labor, rents, etc., inasmuch as cost of goods has advanced with cor responding advances in labor, rents, etc. In the matter of profits on food. the following figures are suggestions, not as fixed percentages but they may be found valuable by you as guides: the three staple foods, meat, sugar and flour, are to be separated from other foods in considering profits, be cause custom and the habit of dealers themselves have fixed the permissible margin on these products at less than half the profit which mav be reason ably cahrged on average food pro ducts. Pre-war competitive conditions afforded margins on these three sta ples of less than five per cent to the wholesaler and not more than 15 per cent to the retailer. This is a fair and just measure of reasonable profit or margin above cost now. On all other food products the same test would allow an average margin of ten per cent to the wholesaler and twenty-five per cent to the retailer. There is no reasonable excuse for exceeding these margins now. There should be no "resale within a trade," that is no multiplication of the agencies of distribution.

A boy of four years stood on sidewalk, while his nurse "pointed out an aeroplane which was soaring in the clouds. The boy glanced at it, then lowered his eyes and spied a puppy across the street. In an instant he was tugging at the nurse's hand, trying to reach the dog. Everything was new to the boy. He saw nothing wonderful in an aeroplane. It had never occurred to him that a man should not fly. He had seen birds flying. Why should not men fly? To him a puppy dog was more won derful, more interesting than an aeroplane. OLDEST LIVING AMERICAN HAS HIS 131ST BIRTHDAY John Shell, said to be the oldest living man in the United States, cel ebrates the 131st anniversary of his birth in Lexington, Ky., the 4th: lhe aged mountaineer celebrated his birthday by taking his first au tomobile ride. He told friends that his is the. first birthday on which he did not work, and said he was anx ious to get back to his farm, on which, he said, there is a mortgage. Shell told newspaper men that he does not expect to live to see anoth er birthday. "I am getting old now," was . his explanation. He came from Leslie county to attend a fair. with laurel, astors and sweethart ro ses giving them a touch that was in keeping with the festivity.

They did not wish to over whelm any great nation and they had no purpose in overwhelming the Ger man people, but they did think that it ought to be burned into the conscious ness of men forever that no people ought to permit its government to do what the German government did. "In the last analysis, my fellow countrymen, as we in America would be the first to claim, a people are re sponsible for the acts of their govern ment, if their government purposes things that are wrong, they ought to take measures and see to it that that purpose is not executed. "Germany was self-governed. Her rulers had not concealed the purposes that they had in mind but they had deceived their people as to the char acter of the methods they were going to use and I believe from what I can learn that there is an awakened con sciousness in Germany itself of the deep iniquity of the thing that was I attempted. "There is a method of adjustment in the treaty by which the reparation shall not be pressed beyond the point which Germany can pay but she will be pressed to the utmost point that she can pay; which is just, which is righteous. It would be intolerable if there had been anything else for, my fellow - citizens, this treaty is not meant merely to end this singular war; it is meant as a notice to every 4- T ..j. ii gvvwiuuciik wiiu in tne mture win attempt this thing, that mankind will unite to inflict the same punishment. "I wonder if some of the opponents of the League of Nations have forgot ten the promises we made our people before we went to that peace table? We had taken by processes of law the flower of our youth from every, coun tryside, from every household, and we told these mothers and fathers and sisters and wives and sweethearts that we were taking those men to I fight a war which would end business of that sort and if we did not end it, if we do not do the best that human concert of action can do to end it. we are ofall men the most unfaithful the most unfaithful to the lmHno hearts who suffered in this war; the most unfaithful to these households bowed in grief, yet lifted with the feeling that the lad laid down his life for a great thing, among other things in order that other lads might not have to do the same thing. "That is what the League of Na tions is for, to end this war justly, and it is not merely to serve notice on governments which would contem plate the same things which Ger many contemplated, and they will do it at their peril but also concerting the combination of power which will prove them that they will do it at their peril.
