Offenders to be Put of Business..
Where wanton violations of the
law and policy , of the -Food Adminis
tration are found, it Js antlciapted
t^at the offending dealers will be pun
ished by'the simple procedure of put
ting them out of buslnees. Where
profiteers are shrewd enough to stay
barely within the bounds they will be
put in a class^f suspects and watch>d.
In order to give the consumer bet
ter protection and to seevre from the,
consumer more effective co-operation,,
the Food Administration contemplates
o'fferfiig to the papers throughout the
state occasional price lists shoyvjng
th6 average cost of staple food com
modities to the dealers and the price
at which dealers should be'aSle to
buy. The pubticidlon of these prices
should be of inestimable value to the
people of the State.* **
What’s in Stbre for Heardery -
As a result of repotts that ..have
reached It from two counties in
9tate the Food Admiafstratiou has in-
.atructed ajl County Food Admlnistrar
'tors to Investigaite and report prompt
ly any evidences of hoarding of foo^
stuffp. Reports that havd-heen inves
tigated so far were found to have orig
inated as the result of the practice of
some fan^s In the two c^upties men
tioned or purchasing moat of thbif
food supplies in large quanities after
marlDStlng Muir ^rope. Bvsn
’has adY inclination toward hoarding
.as peiflsh and unpatriotic ts an extent
that is appreaedting Ae ticUorous.
Mr. Page does not believe the^ will
