Rev. Drulincr:
One paragraph of your "mention"

laws in advertising the fact that I
would give a per cent of the sale
price of every South Bend range sold
by me prior to Dec. 15th to the Red
Cross.
First, I must state that a similar
proposition was offered to the buying
public through tho columns of the lo
cal papers some time ago and the pro
prietor of the Ulisincss house adver
tising said percentage donation was
not denounced throuerh the columns of
tho press.
Seeing that wo arc in tho wrom? I
willingly offer apoligies to this worth)
organization for my error and do
I hereby disconttnuo tho offer made.

action in this matter, but as a mini --

County food administrators met in
Omaha last weok for a school of in
struction by (lurdon W. Wattles,
Federal Pood Administrator for Ne
braska, Each county head will immediately
appoint an executive committee con
sisting of representatives from all parts
of the county. Tho first duty of the
administrator will be to Ox prices on
certain food commodities for the
oounty, Thoe prices will bo fair
prices and will .be tho householders'
guide in determining whether they are
paying a fair price for tho necessities
of lire.
Mr Wattles gave Ills county ad
ministrators wide latitude in carrying
out the provisions of tho Federal Food
Act. Ho alio urged them to hold
county-wide meetings and many of
them, emphasizing tlio needs of volun
tary ooorporatlon ofevery true blooded
American,
The county administrator will be a
busy man this winter ami as long as
war lusts.
There Is nothing to the rumors that
honie-oauiiDtl vegutnbloj and fruits are
Ui'bo inspected or confiscated by tho
government.. Roport received by the
Agricultural K.xtontion .Service of the
State University Indicate- that rumors
aro being spread abroad in tho state,
by persoii3 misinformed orpro-Geiman
homo products. Tho government pro
poses t-j stop hoarding products in
warehouses but this does not apply to
products made for homo consumption.
