ANTI-WAR FOLKS START RUMORS OF FOOD SEIZURES

Congressman Elliott Spikes Story That Eatables Are to Be Taken.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 17.--The department of Agriculture has authorized the following statement: There Is no truth in. a widely

circulated statement that the government expects to take food supplies from any family. Both the Food Administration and the Department of Agriculture join in a statement to . counteract what seems to be deliberate propaganda to the effect that the government intends to take from every family all canned goods put up in excess of 100 quarts. This is only one of the variations of the rumor, which has been widely circulated. Another statement is that the government has been urging the canning, drying and preserving of fruits and vegetables so that they will be in convenient form for the government to handle and transport when It takes them away from the people. Further elaboration Is that these goods are to be taken away from the American homes and shipped to England. .

Judging from reports which have reached the office of Congressman Elliott from various parts of the Sixth Indiana district a propaganda to retard food conservation has been In general progress. Representative Elliott, who was active in promoting food conservation throughout the district he represents by distributing hundreds of government bulletins on home canning and drying of fruits and vegetables, has carefully Investigated these reports of contemplated food confiscations and has found them to be without any foundation of fact, as evidenced by the foregoing statement just promulgated by the Department of Agriculture. At first it was believed the report of food seizures was the work of "confidence" men. So general has the circulation of this report become, however, that it is now believed it is a part of the anti-war propaganda with the purpose of causing an insufficient food supply for the American people throughout the winter months. One of the latest reports to reach Representative Elliott concerning the work of anti-war propagandists comes

from Richmond, in a letter written by a resident of Southwest Third street. The letter reads, in part: "The report here is gaining ground that the government is going to send men around to find out how much canned goods, potatoes, beans, etc., that the people have on hand for winter use, and that then the government will take over all supplies except just enough to meet each family's needs. If this report Is true bow much will they allow to a family; how many bushels of potatoes, beans, etc.? "I hope this report isn't true for the women of this district are taking time by the forelock and are canning everything in sight. Especially is this true in our neighborhood "

When "Professor" Hall Reads This He'll Know That There Never Was an "Invention"

By LUKE SCHNEIDER There's a new fortune teller in Richmond. He is "Professor" J. C. Hall, and claims to be the "master mind clairvoyant." He has rented a room at 400 North Ninth street, and it is there that he gazes into one's eyes, feels one's pulse, occasionally bows his head and tells you well its no matter what he tells, he's just a fortune teller. In company with a certain city official Saturday morning, I had a "consultation" with the "professor." There With Love Stuff. The "professor" specializes, some one told me, in teaching one how to

fascinate the person he or she desires. Also he reunites the separated and according to his advertising cards he's a fast rival of the little love god, for he "causes speedy and happy marriages, and restores lost affections." But bo much for the preliminaries. The point of this story is that "Professor" Hall's "master mind" slipped a cog Saturday morning, when . myself, together with the certain city official, as I have said before, "consulted" him on a "business deal." We were escorted Into the front room, where several books lay on the table, and the "professor" a prosperous looking gent, a big diamond on his

finger, sat on a cushion with the official facing him and myself on the side. Then to the "business." Owned An Invention." We were the owners of a "certain invention" said certain invention being in the hands of another man, we told him. Of course we didn't tell him that we wern't the inventors and that the invention was a myth. What we wanted to know, was whether the man who was making the patterns off that invention, was playing square or not "because my father Is furnishing the money and there's been a lot sunk in it already." The "professor" uncrossed and then (Continued on Page Five)
