HOLT COUNTY MEN
FORCED TO HELP
OUT RED CROSS
Food Administrator Gets Big
"Voluntary" Contributions
for Infractions ot Food
N v Laws.
In response to the persuasive elo
quence of J. M. Hunter, food adminis
trator of Holt county, the Red Cross
of that county has been enriched by
$500. being the amount of "volun
tary" contributions made by sundry
individuals and mercantile establish
ments as the result of infractions of
the food administration rules. These
contributions were made in lieu of
ivirtkrr anH mfirs drastic action, which
Mr. Hunter would have taken if his
. eloquence had been unavailing.
Four of the hnes, amounting to
residents of
Emmett, who developed "back to the
tarm tendencies. Ihey went io
O'Neill, where they represented them
selvijjas rural residents, purchasing
48 pounds of flour each, being twice
the amount allowed those who dwell
in towns. The persons engaging in
this operation were: C. E. Tamborg,
1 W. E. Tamborg, L. G. Fuller and J.
, W. Cochran. After a talk with Mr.
Hunter each of these men "came
through" readily with the Red Crass
rft nfrthtitJAtl.
Fines of like amount were imposed
also on 12 merchants ot the county,
who were found to have violated the
rules on the sale of substitutes. At
O'Neill were Thomas Quinn, P. J.
McManus, J. C. Horiskey, E. A. Dim
mett, R. R. Morrison, John Melvin
and Abe Santos. At Atkinson the
contributors were: J. T. Bauman and
E. Tomsick. At Emmett, James
Shorthill and Gaspar Englehaupt paid
fines.
At O'Neill the Bazelman Lumber
company, Fref" Bazelman being the
manager of the grocery department,
received a fine of $100. The offense
in this case was the selling of canned
hominy and chicken feed as a sub
stitute with flour.
Mr. Hunter has been one of the
most active of the county food admin
istrators in the state and the Red
Cross has profited largely by his
work.

Commissioner Dean RingVr was up

independent packers of South Omaha
to consumers in this city, and that
there had been a very lax inspection
of cattle and hogs killed by such pack

A report was submitted to the city
council at the Tuesday morning ses
sion, reciting that city inspection of
animals slaughtered in the independ
ent plants in the past has been in
adequate, and for the past few years
animals have been slaughtered for
days ot a time without ante or post
mortem inspection.
The report stated that 75 per cent
of the head glands of animals killed
for food were not examined and what
ever inspection there was of the six
plants, widely " scattered, was in
adequate. It stated that fully 10 per cent of
the cattle and hogs slaughtered were
diseased and the meat of such animals
was unwholesome and dangerous for
public consumption.
The report commended 'Commis
sioner Ringer in taking action to ex
pose the situation and it recommended
that sufficient city or government in
