Hertford County Herald A PAPER WORTH WHILE _. _ VOL. 9 ? ? ? ~ > AHOSKIE, N. C.t FRIDAY, JUNE, 20, 1918 DUMBER 22 ADMIHiSTRATOR PAGE AFTEa_PBOFITEEBS RaUigh June? Miners and dea. lers who have been takin advan tage of the scarcity of flower and th? "combination" order of the Food Administration are like y to have a "run in" with State Food AiihinUtrator Henry A Page accor ding to ? statement issued to the trade in the Official Bulletin of the Fcod Administration which wa issued ' t'viay. According to this statement the conservation of wheat has been b2tek and discourag to a considerable degree by profiteering in cor meal and other cerals substitutes and the Food Administrration is determined to call a hault on such business. State Food Administrator Henry A Page after an investigation of corn prices in North Carolinr and wuh knowledge of the coat of the corn imported into the State, and with due regards to the ligitimate margins that may be changed by rniiler and retailers announced definitely that hereafter any price for com meal to the consumer ab ive tlv - cents a pound will invite investigation, and dealers found to be charging an unreasonable margin will be difciplined. The only justi fication for a price higher tn*n five pcents a pound will be high freight rate* or unnnml cost of handling due to Kite extraordinary circum stances. This procedure is in line with the ''new policy of Food Administration to begin investigation at the consu mers and retailers and instead of with the manufacturers and jobbers. If there isYny pro.'itering on any product anywherv along the line of distribution it will be indicated in the price to the consumer and with a number of complete inspectors in the field itwill be easier :.nd more effective to begin investigation of 1 apparent profiteering with the re Titter. In some markets in North Carolina : corn meal is selling for as much as wheat flour. The Food Adminis- ^ tration holds that there should be a difference of 20 percent between the two products.

Page who addressed a letter to them request ing, and requiring that they restrict their consumption of beef in accord* ance with this program: boiled beef at not more than two weekly; beef steak at not more than one meal weekly; and roast be?f at not more than one meal weekly. Households are requested under tin circumstances to use more than or e and one-fourth pounds of clear b.nf weekly cr one-half pounds in cluding the bone for each pesron in the houses. In his letter to the hotels, restau rant and boarding houses, Mr. Page states: "Your industry and the public at large will realize that the changing situation in shipping and therefore of the markets available to the Allies, and the increasing demand? for our growing Army, with the fluctuating supply Of local beef iu France, all combine to make it impossible to determine policies for long periods in advance." The co-operation of the American public in the conservation program of the Food Administration has boon such that Food Administration offi cials are convinced that the more effective results can be secured through frequent changes of conser vation policy to meet the needs of different seasons or different condi tion ipstead of enforcing hard and fast rules without flexibity.

HELPING THE GOVERN MENT ANDMSEVES Julius Rosen ward, president of Sears, Roebuc & Co. now serving as a member of the Advisory Commis sion of the Council of National De fense, has frequentlystated his belief that our victory 'over the Teutontic powers will be won the sooner if all of us follow the practice of buying only those things which we need. He said recntly. We can finance the enormous cost of this war by spending only for the things we need not spending for the things we desrre. Just so long as we continue to spend for the the things we do not need just that long do we prolong the war and add to the tremendous sacrifice of life and property. Not until all of us realize the stern fact of spend ing, no matter for what, consumers labor and material will be awake to' the fundamental! of this situation. Ana our neaitb and general well being do not require many things which through an easy life we have come to consider as ncessities. It would - be a grave disaster if the home saving population by foolish sacrifice were not kept fit" for our armies in the fiield. And this thing above all we must remenber: Saving for the war can not be confined only to certain clas ses. Everyone?men, women, and children, the dweller in the palatial mansion and the resident of the humblest tenement all must save. In war time of all times wealth is no excuse for extravagance. It makes no difference who it is who buys the nonessatlal the buying of it takes labor and material needed for war purposes. Mr. Rosenwatri who speaks both as a business man and as aadvisor in wai industry matter also points out that by following the practice of buying only those which we need we not only assist, our (iovf.rmmt but we accumulate saving wnich we can invest in War Saving Stamps andi in that way do a good turn for ourselvas.

Theodore Roosevelt says." Let us put through the was-?aving cam paign," In a recent editorial he wrote; "Of course the primary factor in deciding: this war is and will be the Army. But there can be no great army in war to-day unless a great Nation stands back of it. The most important of jail our needs is im mensely to strengthen the fighting line at the front. But it can not b? pemranent ly strengthened unless the whole Nation in organized back of the front. We need increased production by all. # We need thrift and the avoidance of extravag?nce and of waist or. money upon nonessntial by all. We need the investment of our money in Government, securities by all of im._ "The Government, through the War-saving campaign, offers the opportunity to every individuanl the Nation to join in a great natihn al movement to secure these end. This is the people's wa . The re sponsibility for the Goovernmehr rests oh the people as a whble. The Army is the people*8 Army It can be supported only if the people invest in the securities of the Government, and this invest ment by the people shouM be sa nearle universal as pessible. All the me", all the vomen, and half the children of the land should be active members of Uncle Sam's team. The was-saving campaign offers th?m the chance to be active mem bers. This camoign mearns the encour agement of thrift and production But itmeans much more than this It also means to make ouu people relize their soldarity and mutual interpendence and to make them understand that the Government is really theirs. Therefore, it is a movement to fuse all our different race stocks into one great unified nationality. It is emphatically a movement for nationlism and pat riotism. Let all of us join in this move ment. Mrs. Hale Entertains. Winton, N. Car. June 17, 1918. ?Monday nigkt Mrs. D.|D. Hale en tertained In honor of her two sons, Messrs.
