WHAT'S WRONG 1
Mr. lahlnew Waata to Know Why Llv

To the Editor: For aom tim I have
been trying to snatch tha opportunity
of ft spare moment, ia which to aay a
few word eoneerning matter that is
of th utmost importance and siguifl
cane to all of us. A it is a topic of
general Interest and import, I crave
the spaee that thia eommuiration will

Like averyon else, with whom I have

understand the reason for certain eon
ditiona aad thi communication, there
fore, baaed OB very elementary observ
ationa aad reflection, ia not ao much of
a criticism a it ia a request for en
lightenment aad information.
I would have probably lacked the
eonrag with which to- attempt what I
would lik to say if say attention had
not been called to th problem by a
aw item and an advertisement that
appeared ia th Raleigh Time, under
date of August S. Th news item read
as follows
"Twenty Sv cent milh though It may
fce justified by etpense in the city, is

B. W. Kilgore of the United State
t'eod Administratioa and Stat Chemist,
ha promised that th matter shall bar
prompt attentioa aad ft report will be
made as eooa as possible.
The advertisement to whien I rarer is
entitled "Building IP ft Community
Through Business Dealings," and is, ia
part, as follows:
With the coming or. prosperity
thia fall business men , aad mer
chants in every line of buslnert

tractive and desirable town in which to
live, beautiful, clean, refined, but why
should there be suih a difference in

then 1 miss my guess as to metnous oi
eoniniiinitv promotion and development.
If this does not come ethically within
the scope of th work of the Food
Administration, it surely is food for
thought for the Chamber of Commerce,
interested ai that organization is m iuc
building up of the city.
Returning from a trip to t.oiornao
last month, I was staggered to learn
what a difference there was iu prices
i. Rsleigh and elsewhere. And some or
the -differences are just inexplicable to
me. t me be concrete. Collars, man
ufactured ia. Tryon, N.J'., are sold in
Colorado, or anywhere in the Wext, for
13, rents ; in Kaleigh the same nrana
and ntakr aell for B cents, although
they are 3,000 mile less coming to Ral
eish than thev are Ming to Colorado.
In Denver and in the smaller Colorado
oitiea as well tha best creamery Hut
er sold for 32 cent a pound; we know
what the Jtaleish price is. The prevail
ing price for milk in the West, as far as
my limited observation lninrmea me,
was 9 and 10 cents a quart: Mrs. Cham
berlain's remarks may a well include
the country west of the Mississippi, ia
describing th Raleigh price or mux
At the time potatoea in Kaleigh were
aelling for 0 cents a peck, potatoea
were aelling in the West for 60 cent a
hundred pounds, and they weren't much
cheaper in the western part of North
Carolina, although they appeared to be
so nlentiful. that tho farmer could
not dispose of them to th local mer
chants. I can get pienriia meai in
th Weat, anywhere in the West, for 30
or 40 cents. I know because I have
tried it; Ha anyone ever been able
to get anything to eat in our Raleigh
cafe for that price I When potatoes
went up, our cafe manager! promptly
increased tha price of fried potatoea;
when potatoea cam down, they forgot
to rhange their menn card price pro
portionately. ,

CLOSER CO-OPERATION
BETWEEN MERCHANTS
& FOOD ADMINISTRATION
Rtatesville, Aug., 11. Closer co-topera-tion
between the Food Administration
and the Merchant Association of North
Carolina is expected to result from a
conference of officials of the State asso
ciation with State Food Administrator
Henry A. Page a4 4iieutu-'.sere;
tary, John Paul Lucas, held at Raleigh
yesterday afternoon. This is the view
of J. Paul Leonard of Rtatesville. State
serretnry of the Merchants Assticiation,
y.ho returned thi afternoon from Bal
eigh.' " '"r' ; 7
Kepresentating the Merchants Associa
tion in tha conference with the Food
Administration heads were President J.
Frank Morris of Winston-Salem, Sec
retary Leonard of Statesville and
Messrs. A. B. Carroll of Wilson and 8.
N. Clark of Tarboro. The two last
named gentlemen were elected as Food
Administration representatives of the
association following the recent State
convention at Vi rightsville. Mr. tar-
rortTr"w1idtsTfesilent ritf lire Wilson
association, conducts a largo food de
rartmcut store, and Mr. Clark is a big
"time merchant" at Tarboro.
"Through the co-operation agreed
upon in the conference at Raleigh yes
terday afternoou," said Mr. Leonard
this afternoon, "the State Merchants As
sociation hopes to be of the same ser
vice to the State Food Administration
as we have been to the State Merchants
Division of tho National War Savings
Committee and to the conservation di
vision of the War Industries Board. We
ant to lie of service to all the go
ctninent agencies aiding in the prose
cution of our war program. The big
task of the Food Administration is that
of educating the food dealers and the
food consumers to ft knowledge of the
administration's rules and regulation
and the necessity for living up to them.
In this educational work weexpect to
be of assistance. Ignorance of the rule
arid regulations" wiir not excuse those
found guilty of violations. Therefor
I want to urgo every merchant of North
Carolina to keep himself informed. The
merchant should read the newspapers,
and should read the bulletins issued
by the State Food Administration. Some
merchants have formed the habit of
throwing in the waste basket mail mat
ter coming in franked envelopes. These
very merchants may be called on one
of these days to make an involuntary
contribution to the Red Cross. To be
e t he ra fe eiiie -merchants "-should- read
all government matter sent them." It is
really their patriotic duty to do so, 1 he

Mr. Ioaard aay he wa very much
gratified to learn that the Food Aa
n inist ration inspector which are at
work in the State are to be educator
a well as inspectors. These re pre
sentritives of the Food Administration
aro expected to hold meeting of mer
chants in each town 'they visit for the
purpose of giving information. They are
to be the friends of the really true and
patriotic merchant who are living up
to the food regulations. The county
food administrator! are also to be asked
to meet with the iTocaT merchant! asso

Dog-Coned Good ITound."
A few days ago a tramp dog hound
took up around a tobacco barn on the
Cozart plantation near this. city. Two
boy were attending a curing and one
of them remarked to his brother: "Bud
die, I know pappy won't stand for that
yaller hound dog hanging around here,
'cause he 11 have to eat and you know
we're trying to save all the eats pos
sible." The other little fellow said:
-"Leave it to i FH 8 hinty-and taking j
up a shovel, whacked him over the head
and buried him where he fell," and the
poor hound that had been whacked
around lay quiet under the ground for
three hours. When the father heard
what his hoy had done, concluded that
the interment had been made too near
hi living quarters, so be took his
hovel and went forth to have a res
urrection and when oue of the canine
legs had been unearthed lie gave it a
yank and the dog went down a potato
patch like a streak of lightning through
a gooseberry bush. Coaxing the hound
back to the house, he gave it a. good
feed arid the next day the boys had a
good bunt with him and say they dare
any on to kick their dog around.
