FIRM FINED $55,000

FOR PROFITEERING III CLOTHES' TRADE

w SYRACUSE, N. Y., June 3. Expressing the hope that his action would serve as a '"moral lesson" to all "dealers throughout the country who -may be charging unjust prices for necessities, Federal Judge Harland B. "'Howe, of Burlington, Vt., Wednesday '-Afternoon imposed a $55,000 fine on the sJohn A. Roberts Company, of Utlca, ..convicted of having profiteered. '' ' In Imposing the fine, the heaviest Cite' law would permit, Judge Howe

saicu believe that convicted profiteers should be sent to Jail. That would do more than anything else to impress the merchants who are doing business. that they must confine themselves to fair and reasonable profits. "But,. t&a defendant being a corporation !a this case, there can be no ."prison sentence. ; I believe it is the tluty. of the court to impose the maxirJnum sentence, which Is $5,000 on each count, or a total of $55,000, and such Js the, sentence of this court." 10 Counts Cover Sales. .

Keep Ground Busy in Your Home Garden

Wearie Willie Passes Oat With Other Pre-War Relics ' The worries of the Richmond police force because of "Wearie Willies" are ended. According to Edward McNally, assistant police chief, the department had little or no trouble with tramps last year. "In fact," said McNally, "we have had no trouble with tramps Bince the start of the war. The work, fight or go to Jail order of the government caused the tramps to fight or go to work. They evidently liked the new surroundings, as they have failed to return to the dusty by-ways."

(E. E. Rice, Garden Supervisor) Keep the ground working. Begin to think now. when there is a wealth

of green vegetables in sight, of the

cold winter months, when every vegetable, green or canned, means the paying of a substantial sum of money, for vegetables are by no means the tall of the kite of the high cost. Even on the smallest patch there 1b something that can be raised and put away In the cellar, either a root crop In Its natural state or a canned or dried crop. The radishes, young onions and let

tuce are now either usable or within sight of harvesting. When they

are gone, the ground Is available. Green peas always leave a larger

stretch of vacancy than any other early vegetable. It is usual with an old-time gardener to put the pea patch

into turnips. Of the easily grown root crops which may be put In the cellar, these are sure fine crops, and once put in the ground, hoed enough to put down the largest growth of weeds, may be left to their own devices till harvested: Turnips, carrots and beets. Parsnips and vegetable oyster may be left in the ground over winter. Sow part of the pea patch to turnips for an early fall crop of the white variety not to be stored, and then put in the big yellow or rutabagas to be put in the cellar. Sow carrots as a second crop, then thin them to six inches and let them grow till a hard frost before digging. Likewise beets. A dozen late cabbages to store means real money when you have to pay 10 cents a pound. The real secret of gardening is to

keep the ground busy and lay something by.

There are always second and even

third crops of sweet corn and string

beans to be planted, to be canned, and

dried as well as eaten fresh, but the one item of the vegetable garden that can be most economically handled is the root crop. They need no previous

preparation. Merely a cool cellar, so

that they will not shrivel is enough

If the cellar is too warm because of

a furnace, store them in dry sand or

earth, with an occasional sprinkling,

and they may be dug out plump and

full any time when desired. Think how far two pecks of carrots

will go, compared with buying them

by the pound at the grocers, and the same with beets, turnips and even onions. When the early spring and summer vegetables are done, put in something for late summer or fall, and always with an eye to the winter supply. You can plant up till the middle of July.

Henpecked Husbands Compare Tales of Woe LONDON The Ancient and Honorable Club for Henpecked Husbands,

an English organization limited to husbands who have to perform small

menial duties around the house, held

Its annual gathering recently at Crag Vale, an Isolated village on the bor

ders of Lancashire and Yorkshire.

Members of the society came from

all the surrounding villages. It is the

custom once each year for the hen

pecked ones to elude the vigilance of

their wives and sneak off to the meet

ing place to elect officials for the year,

including a "mayor" and to pass on

candidates for election to the order.

These candidates are asked: "Do

you get up and light the fire? Do you wash and cook? Can you make por

ridge? Do you fetch the coals In every night and chop the firewood? Do you run all the errands and bathe

the children?"

"Satisfaction Guaranteed or Your Money Refunded Cheerfully"

For more than ten years the automotive industry has struggled to perfect an interna combustion engine that would give good, enduring service in a truck driven at sow speed; and such an engine was finally developed. However, just about the time engineers had succeeded in giving the truck manufacturer an engine that would give satisfactory service at eow speed, along came the aggressive tire manufacturer with a successful pneumatic tire for trucks, which development enabled the truck driver to operate at high speed. This development upset all engineering calculations and made it highly essential for somebody to immediately develop a heavy duty internal combustion engine that would stand up and give enduring service at higher average truck speeds. Few people in Indiana know that the institution which first recognized this allimportant problem, and successfully met it, was the Midwest Engine Company of Indianapolis. If this great Indiana institution' had, in its whole history, done nothing more than this, it would have rendered a service to the automotive industry and to business of almost incalculable value. When your friends ask you about the Midwest Engine Company, tell them that Indiana produced the world's first high speed, heavy duty truck and tractor engine. Tell them, furthermore, that the Midwest Engine Company, with its almost incomparable facilities covering acres upon acres of ground, can not hope within three years to build even a percentage of these heavy duty, high speed engines which the truck and tractor industry is asking them to build. Whole industries have been built on lesser demands than that of the automotive industry for this single Midwest product. Realize fully that this history making Truck and Tractor Engine is only one of many products bearing the Midwest "Dependable Power" nameplate; only one of the things entering into the notable Midwest success.
