PROFITEERS

Developments Expected To Follow Government's Commandeering large Portion

ot

Supply.

XKW YORK. Oct. 11.—The Federal Pood Board is oh the ttail of profiteers in butter. l»alers taking more than the profits permitted by the food administration in sales of storage butter and those who arc making "unreasonable profits" in fresh butter are to be brought up with a jerk.

"No dealer who is unpatriotic enough to take advantage) of the present situation need expect consideration," re-ads a warning' which emanated yesterday from FVderai Food Hoard headquarters, West Fifty-seventh street. "Ignorance of the rules will not be accepted by the board as an •souse for .violations,"

The action of the government in Commandeering 60 per cent of butter held in cold storage throughout the Country on August 1 for the use of Uncle Sam's armed forces has produced a situation in the market that is Causing much anxiety.

Demand Greatly Increased. Tlie shortage of storage butter for public use has increased the demand for fresh butter and prices are jump* ipg.

The Federal Food Board says It has "teen "watching the treud of the butter market for the past few days, and in

View of the fact that prices appear to be rising beyond a margin warranted by conditions it felt it to bo its duty to issue a statement for the benefit of All butter handlers."

The board's statement dealt with transactions in storage butter alone, as the administration's "fixed" profits apply only to butter that has been in storage but a supplemental official declaration was made last night to the effect that "unreasonable profits" in fresh butter will not be tolerated. This seemingly Indicates there is going to be hard sledding ahead for those who are trying to squeeze out as much as they can in transactions on all kinds butter.

Easy to Ascertain Facts.

In the past when the food administration officials deemed it necessary to find out whether profits on foodstuffs were reasonable they demanded to see the hooks of men or concerns under suspicion, and experts did the rest It Is understood it will be comparatively easy for the Federal Food Board to ascertain just what the butter men are doing in the present situation. The food administration inquiry that is now under wnv, or that is to be mado. Will not be confined to New York alone.

There are reasons for believing that Sut of the investigating may come a plan for the distribution of butter calling for "butter cards" similar to the "sugar cards" to insure an even distribution among consumers of the greatly curtailed supply.

A!! at once I realised that my telephone was ringing. It was Ena's voice I heard over the 'phone. "Hello, sister," she said, and a warm glow came around my heart at the name. It was very sweet of her to call me sister the first time she spoke to me over the wire after my marriage with her brother. "Mother and dad wer# very much worried about you yesterday when we found you had gone away somewnere right after Toddy left, but I told tliem that you had done the perfectly natural thing and that they didn't understand the modern young woman at all.

And then all at once it seemed to me that when I had told my troubles to Budge, as I alwayfe have done ever since I can remi-mber, he would fake them all upon himself and everything would be all right.

William IT. Crocker, of San Francisco, who recently rebuilt a war-wreck-ed French village at his own expense, tells, apropos of the wine shortage, an amusing story. "A friend of mine"—so Mr. Crocker's story runs—"is remarkable for the bad wines he keeps. My friend, entertaining some rather important guests one evening, turned to his new butler and said: 'Hlg-gs, is this the best claret?* .. 'No, sir,' said Higgs solemnly, 'it ain't but it's the best you've got.' Detroit Free Press.
