Mr. J. L. Thompson, representing the firm, was given a hearing be forft Mr. Page several' days ago, and Mr. Page's decisiou was announced today. In announcing his decision, Mr. Page Stated that the Du plead ignorance of the law after all of the publicity that has been given the matter in the newspapers of the State and in the official Bulletin is- sued from our office," today declar- ed Mr. Page, "A man who does plesd ignorance cannot be said to have used due diligence in informing himself of the rules and regulations designed by the Government for that degree of control of his business that is neceS' sary for the successful prosecution of the war. Neither the man who wilfully refuses to conform to the policy of the Food Administration, nor the man who does not use due diligence in informing himself of the rules and regulations is fit to remain in such business at a time like this, Such a man is not a practical patriot, and as a matter of war policy it is dangerous to allow him to continue in business. .

Last summtr when the draft law went into effect, Jim, her beau, one of the boys in the store, marched away to war. Lillie wept for a day or two, of course. Any irl would have wept. But Lillie didn't weep long. A new thought came to her. If Jim was flad to go and fight for Ms coumtry why should she -not be glad to fight too She laid aside tears and began to think what she could do. The op portunity came. She organized the! clerks in the store into a War Say ings Society, and she and they began to sell War Savings Stamps along with laces and the other articles of their departments. They bought them too. Part of their salaries each week was converted into the little green stickers. Lillie had been told that War Sar ifls Stamps 'would not only send ships oer the seas to France, bat thai they would furnish money to manu facture depth bombs that would shat ter the biggest U-boats aoat in the Atlantic Ocean. She knew that U boats were lurking for the transport that carried Jim and other American soldiers across, and she reasoned that If every American girl would buy and churches in the State. They have met every charitable request. Our small lodge of Masons have done their part.
