VOLUME XXXIV. KKAh PUNCH IS BEING PUT INTO . r DRtVE ON H. C. L. Palmer To Prosecute Every Dealer Who Sells Above Fair Price Committee Quotations. (Washington Special.) " TVio rppl nnnch hehinrl th fmr eminent s campaign to reduce the high cost of living is being adminis tered with vigor. . While Attorney General Palmer was telling the senate agricultural committee that he intended to prose cute every dealer guilty of selling a ill; ;her prices than those listed by the fair price committee of each county word came from Chicago,. St: Louis and Birmingham jo: seizures-of great quantities of foodstuffs, by- federal officials, who recently were instruct ed to proceed under the food eontrol act to stop hoarding. - . In Chicago 1,282 'tubs of butter worth $50,000, wa& seized; In St. Louis 284,180 pounds of. coffee, which has been showing rapid ad vinces in price, in Birmingham v 100 barrels of sugar. . Majority Not Profiteering. . Mr. Palmer told the senate com mittee that he believed the great ma jority of-farmers and, food dealers were not . profiteering, but that the suggested amendment to the . food control act extending it to clothing and providing ' a criminal penalty of $5,000 fine or two years imprison ment, or both was necessary to make effective the campaign ( against' those who are dishonestly gouging the pub lic. . ; .- . There was a division of .. qpinion among the senators as to the advisa bility of the legislation, - several de claring that the amendment gave the department of justice too f drastic powers over commerce while others questioned the constitutionality of extending the ; life of the food , con trol act beyond the declaration of veace, as has been suggested. . Eleven Ceiits for Sugar. V- V Officials of the food administration a stone beneath the root. 5 -notified the department that 11 cents J The Catalpa tree is a genius of a pound was a fair price for sugar i America. : and this information was transmitted tJatesbyin Craven ; ; county, North to district attorneys,' with the-signi ficant statement that where higher prices were being charged, there evi dently was profiteering. THERE ARE NO FOOD PROFITEERS IN OXFORD There Is No Sugar Hre At Any Price. . It is rumored around .town that one of the grocerymen recently sold sugar at 15 cents the pound! The Public Ledger questions the report. We may have men here mean enough to juggle with .food stuffs in the hour of the nation' , peril but we do not have any one here foolish enough to attempt'to do such a thing. But if there is' any one here who is guilty of profiteering in foodstuffs, the detectives will land him in less than sixty days. : All special agents of 'the departr -..i-vi - C 1!.. . . . uieni vl jusuce over tne country have been ordered to assist district attorneys in uncovering evidence of profiteering in foodstuffs arid other necessities. - ; . Eleven centra pound has been ad judged a fair price for sugar by the department of justice. . "Dealers charging" more'. will ; be investigated,." said Assistant Ames. "Ten cents a pound is a fair whole sale price. The . additional penny should be enough profit for the re tail dealer." , All sugar now being sold' in , the United States is controlled by the government throughout the United States Sugar Equalization Beard with headquarters at New Ydrk.

Sell Out and Leave Oxford. - V It is indeed sad when we contem plate that there are ' not entmgh dwellings in Oxford to accommodate those who desire to settle here, but ' it is still more distressing to learn that one of our valuable business men will ' sell his business and leave Oxford because he cannot hope to secure a home "for his family here when his present lease expires. The gentieman referred to has con . . . ducted a business here for more than fifteen 'years and -his. family is in high esteem. He says that he regrets to sell his, business and leave Oxford; but rather than he, Mumped out" in the chilly winter months,' and no where to house his famjly, he de sires to make arrangements to ""sell at ah early date; U He is, willing to pay a uandsome rental and. remain in Oxford, but those whoTmve mon ey to build houses say that it is next ent on account of the scarcity of la bor and the high cost of building material.
