They imagine gai that they have an inherent right to an* hoard and waste and it is nobody's affair but their own. aga k We have heard of one man who 1 bought IS barrels of flour when the family consumption does not exceed I more than three a year. T ^ Such person or persons should get ,n * acquainted with section 17 -of the thel Lever Act, which provides that any May person who hoardes any quantity of who foodstuffs above reasonable require- "d ? . mmue iengta of|? gr ^qqq or | ^ Hi tw^^ear's imprisonment, or both, ?ucl together with- confiscation of the Ai goods so hoarded. kill The government holds that from *nce 30 to 40 days' supply of staple food It commodities might well be regarded are as a reasonable amount. war A further provision of the rood to h laws is: "That every person who will- l?av< fully assaults, resists. Impedes or in- It terferes with any officer, employee or m?v agent of the government in the exe- walk cution of any duty authorized to be performed by or pursuant to this act shall, upon conviction thereof, be fin ed not exceeding* $1,000 or be impris- poll oned for not more than one year, or at both." f: The country is at war and the per son who does not voluntarily make sacrifices will be forced to do so. There can be no restriction of our liberties bo far as they are guar- _ anteed by the organic law of the " q", land, but there has been a curtail- w ment of our privileges and we may w as well make up minds that we must W submit tc it. SI Those who willfully and persistently resist the food laws are not euly in a c'ass with traitors to their ^ country in a time of war, but can be drastically handled under the Lever _ *** S. USING IT THE WRONG WAY FOI . C: The Secretary of Agriculture asks 11 for an appropriauou of $6,000,000 ^ to be used as a revolving fund to purohase and sell seed to farmers at reasonable prices. The argument is that unusual con- t>( dltions prevail in many of the areas at f the country, particularly where p? there was extreme suffering last sea- Dl - son from drought. w There can be no objection to the plan to purchase seed and sell them b to the farmers et cost, but the seed I problem on the farm is of minor import&nce as compared to many other re problems. he The problem we have in mind is that of marketing farm produce aft- 8TR er It Is gathered. The crude^and un- 8r satisfactory methods of present day ^ marketing are costing the farmers millions of dollars annually. ^ Cotton is the naflon's most valus- ar ble crop, yet there has been no im- ed prorement in the methods of market- fe t lng It in the past half a century.* ne E The middleman's profit fin cotton grades.
