GRIP TIGHTENED ON FOOD MEN; TO BE LICENSED

McKee Used Pistol He Had When Chief

President to Issue Proclamation Which Will Stop Profiteering. WASHINGTON. Oct. 10. The greatest measure of food control since the price of wheat was fixed by the government will "he put into operation when President Wilson issues a proclamation, possibly today, requiring all

persons engaged in me import, manufacture, Btorage, and distribution of certain fundamental foodstuffs to secure a license from the food administrator. Subject to the requirement will be meat packers, cold storage warehouse men. millers, eanners, elevacors, grain dealers, wholesale distributors, and retailers doing a business of more than $100,000 per year who handle the commodities to be set out in the president's proclamation. The licensing provision in the food bill is limited in operation to the channels of trade which lie between the farmer, one the one hand, andih retailer, on the other, except as it extends to those few retailers who do an annual business of more than $100,000. Small Units Eliminated. The food administration has selected about twenty basic commodities and their products as forming the prime baais of life and has limited its licensing control to these commodities and, also, insofar as practicable, eliminated the smallest units of business in these p.taples. "It is the purpose of the food administration." Mr. Hoover said tonight, "to effect conservation in the commercial

use of these commodities and to keep them flowing toward the consumer in dlrct lines throueh the channels of

trade In as economical a manner as possible. The administration does not

wish to disturb the normal and necess

ary activities of business and no busi

ness factor performing a useful func

tion will be expected to surrender that function.

Ready Market for Producer. "The administration is, however, charged with several duties. The producer must have a free outlet and a ready market. There must be no manipulation or speculation in foodsThere must be no hoarding in foods. Unfair or unreasonable profits must be eliminated. Discriminatory and decep

tive and wasteful practices which in any way restrict supply or distribution must be stopped. "These are the provisions of the food law. The licensing system which was authorized by the law provides a more effective machinery for Its enforcement. It must not be thought that these operation become illegal only upon the issue of licenses. They have bf-pn illegal since the tenth of August when the law was passed and numerous caseB coming to the attention of the food administration have been cor

rected. "The licensing has the effect of giving definition to the provisions of the bill and the practices which the trades should respectively follow In connection there-with. The proclamation will require all of those handling the com

modities concerned to apply for licenses before Nov. 1, upon forms which will be supplied on application to the food administration. No Cost for License. "Applicants will receive licenses without cost, and the regulations governing those dealing with the commodities licenses will be issued In due course." After Not. 1. no unlicensed persons will be permitted to trade in the commodities enumerated in the proclamation. Those who receive licenses will be required from time to time to make reports to the food administration on their activities, in prescribed form. These reports will be carefully safeguarded so that private information given to the government in confidence will not be divulged to competitors. Men experienced in the production and merchandising of tho licensed comodlties will aid in administering the law, and a legal department has been organized to facilitate its enforce-

CAMBRIDGE CITY, Ind., Oct 10 f1 am going out to feed the hogs, Ma," said John McKee to his .wife at their farm near Greensfork at an early hour yesterday morning. But when breakfast time came he was not to be found on the farm, and at 10:30 came a message from Cambridge City saying he had attempted suicide with a revolver that the -family had kept hidden from him. McKee, it developed had walked from the farm near Greensfork through Jacksonburg to Cambridge City. He had been under a fear that his son, William McKee, would have been drafted into the army at the evamin-

ing office in this city, Tuesday, but he

had been assured his fear was groundless. The revolver wtth which .the attempt was made was one that McKee used when he was cheif of police at Cambridge City.-

THOUGHTS TO THINK ABOUT Learn to be silent.

Men live better when they give than by getting, if that giving is guided by goodness. It Is but human for man to swing from one extreme to another' today gay, tomorrow sorrow. Often it is what others do and say that causes the pendulum of our spirits to swing. Tour want will not long be a want unfilled, if you use classified advertising in The Palladium tomorrow. Over 50,000 reads will 'see your Want Ad and some will communicate with you at once.

Morrison B. Cole was the first applicant for a Liberty Loan bond at the Straughn bank. His subscription was $1,000. Blank applications have been sent out by J. C. Hasket t, chairman,

to all residents of the township.

William Macey, an aged resident of Straughn, well remembers the efforts

made in behalf of the runaway slaves,

and was a confidante of Eli Coffin in the days of the Civil war. He has many interesting stories to tell of how the Friends evaded questions by the slave owners. One of them was to the effect that the Friends invariably hid the runaways in straw or hay stacks, so that when asked by owners they could say "they are not in the house," and invite a search. Quakers, he said, never deceived, unless for a good purpose.

Nonresidents of New Brunswick must pay $50 for a license to hunt and kill one bull moose and -one bull caribou.

Clessie Haskett has disposed of a fine field of corn of 16 acres, part of which went for $87.50 per acre, and a few acres for $15. This corn was bought on the field. He stated that this corn will easily go 75 bushels to the acre, and is of abnormal growth.
