U. S. To Take Charge Of All Food November 1st.

Washington, Oct. 9.—Virtually all the staple foods consumed by the American people will be put under government control Nov. 1. The food administration announced tonight that within a few days President Wilson will issue an executive order requiring that manufacturers and distributors of some twenty fundamental foods operate under license restrictions designed to prevent unreasonable profits and to stop speculation and hoarding. Regulations will be prescribed for meat packers, cold storage houses, millers, canners, elevators, grain dealers and wholesale dealers and retailers doing a business of more than SIOO,OOO annually in the commodities to be named. “The prime purpose of the food administration,” the announcement said, “is to protect the patriot against the slacker in business. It has generally been recognized that the enormous obligation imposed on the American to feed our soldiers at the front and the allies creates a disturbing factor ii\ trade which allows opportunity to' a few to impose burdens upon the many and that it is of vital importance that such control should be exerted as will remedy, so far as may be, the economic disturbance incident to the war.” Issuance of the president’s proclamations has been delayed, the announcement said, that the food administration might complete Conference with representatives of trades and producers and consumers. Already about 200 conferences have been held at which were planned regulations and constructive methods of control. “It has been the desire of the food administration,” the announcement continued, “to secure the co-opera-tion of all patriotic men in the various trades so as to eliminate speculatTonyiibarding, unreasonable profits, wasteful practices, etc., in the distribution system of the country.

Will Be Hard On the Owners of Meat Markets.

October 21-28 is Food Conservation Week in Indiana. Conservation week will be the most extensive and intensive effort yet undertaken by the people of Indiana to make the present supply of food last until another crop can be produced—that we may feed opfselves as well as the countries that are fighting with us the world war for freedom and democracy. “This is the campaign that is going to win the war,” Hoover says. “We, have an army of saldiers, an army of mercy, but it is the conservation army—the army of homes of the United States for conservation—that is going to win the war.” The program for Conservation Week as outlined by Mr. Barnard, begins with “Conservation Sunday,” October 21, when every preached in Indiana will be asked to preach conservation from his pulpit. Tuesday, Oct. 23, and Friday, Oct. 26, are meatless days, which it is hoped will be the beginning of occasional meatless days as a permanent institution in the state as long as the war lasts. The program calls for wheatless dinners during the entire week. Corn bread, it is hoped, will become fashionable on Indiana dinner tables. Oct. 24 is Conservation Rally day. Defense and similar conservation meetings will be held under the auspices of county councils of defense. Thursday, Oct. 25, is to be Merchants Conservation day. Stores will arrange special conservation sales. Conservation day in all the schools will be observed Friday, Oct. 26. On Saturday, Oct. 27, there will be a whirlwind campaign for signatures of 1,000,000 Indiana women who will be given cards by the U. S. Food Administration, indicating the patriotism, for display in front windows of homes. Sunday, Oct. 28, will be a day of prayer and praise for those who have gone out to fight democracy’s battle, who are to be sustained and maintained by a solid army of stay at home volunteers.

Some Tall Corn From Hanging Grove Tp.

Jacob M. Ray, who lives on the Royal Bussell farm a mile south and east of McCoysburg, brought to The Republican office two stalks of corn which measure fifteen feet in height.

MR. RANDLE COMES TO THE FRONT

Tell* Hi* Friend* and Neighbor* of Hi* Experience. Every Rensselaer resident should read what Mr. Randle says, and follow his example. He has used Doan’s Kidney Pills and speaks from experience. Is there any need to experiment with imitations or untried kidney medicines? . Nelson Randle, retired farmer, N. Main St., Rensselaer, says: “I have used Doan’s Kidney Pills at different times when suffering from a lame and aching back and other symptoms of disordered kidneys. I got Doan’s at Fendig’s Drug Store and they soon brought relief from the backache and other kidney ailments. I do npt know of a case where Doan’s Kdiney Pills have failed to prove of benefit.” _ , Price 60c, at all dealers.

STOCK SHOW OPENS FRIDAY

FARMERS WILL HAVE CHANCE TO COMPARE LIVESTOCK OCT. 12 AND 13C Jasper county’s first pure bred stock show will open Friday morning and continue until Saturday evening. The committee in charge has completed all arrangements for the two days’ show and are expecting that a great deal of good will be derived from the exhibit, for it will give the breeders of the community a chance to get together and compare their stock with that of their neighbor and see whether their method of raising stock obtains as good a result as that employed by those who use different methods from his. Other counties have been holding annual shows for the past several years and are well pleased with the results obtained. Each year the communities in which they are held find that their grade of stock isteadily improving and there is no reason why the same condition will not result here. The activity of County Agent Learning has already shown rseults. His farmers’ clubs throughout the county have aroused enthusiasm among the farmers. They have served to better acquaint the farmers with each other’s methods and materially increased the class of stock and farm products. He has been ably assisted by competent men throughout the county and there can be no doubt but that a county agent is very beneficial to a community. The entries for the show must be in by 10 o’clock Friday morning. Classes have been arranged for every type of farm animal in such a manner that grades will not have to show against pure bred stock. The horses and cattle will be exhibited at the Hemphill and Leek barns and the sheep and hogs will be cared for in the open pens back of the Leek t>arn. J. W. Schwab, of Purdue, will be the judge, assisted by P. S. Ritchey, also of Purdue. The premium list appeared in the Semi-Weekly Republicanof October 5, and" the Evening Republican of October 4.
