The mo.st important <iuestion of all is that of sliiiiuUtint; production and any possibility of reduction of supplies must not be enterttined, because of the hu;4e reouirements oversea, the d»pendenceof the Allies upon North Afnerica for .'O lar^e a proportion of their food, and the military and economic impoituiico of building up rpseivts, both here aid al.road. .\a Mr. Hover his said, discontent ever prices is a trifle compared with discontent over hunger, which might have been our lot, except for the Provi- dence which plicod us on this side of the Atlantic. The Canada Food Board, by its license conlnd over deilers in fi^td â- iiid by reguli'ions affecting all liiiidhis of foodslurts. ha-i already done much to fliminittt prolitecring from the wholesii'e trade and to check trade practices that have bc«;j to the disadvantngo of loth the producer and onsuMier. The Ko^ d Board ask» the people of (Jmad.i to lei.d their .sup|)ort to the etl'ort the Board is making to keep prices to as low a level as is consistent with the obligation of •supplying the food needed by our Allies. This can best be done by an intelligent •â- ludy of the fo id problem in all iis jihises.

This Is a story pitUi-d ill) '" New York that litis iill ilii' fUMiicntsâ€" save the love of toucli--nt' a modern mys- tery .story. -M. I'lirrisli Wiitson is a wealthy oolloftor of Chinese nrt. He sends eiiiissaHos nil over China dig- ging up treasures. One of his agent.s liiis just ri'turiiod. In I'l'Uiiig he WAR in the shop of a pawnbroker. A silUIiatted American, a polished luaii of the world, oanio in, to secure a loan on a pearl which lie took out nf a velvet bag. The broker applied the tests and wa.s satisfied the pearl was gontiiiie. He advanced .Â¥10.- 1(00. Later in the day one of his ex- perts rushed to him breiillilessly with the startling stntenicnt that the pearl was the most clever counterfeit he had ever seen. The broker made anolbcr cxainliiatioii and found ho had been the victim of a lliiii Ham artist. Several days afterward lie called cv- pry Jeweler In Peking into a confer- ence, lie told them of his experieiioe and he said he was simply going to take Ills loss, but be thought it was his duly to warn his fellmv laerelmnl.s. He held up the pearl before them. "Hero It Is," ho .said. "To show you what I think of It and that tlie incident is closed, I am going to destroy it." He placed the pearl on an iron and with a liammev .smnslied It to tiny frag- ments with one blow. The next day all tlie Peking news- papers carrioi) a story about Iho way tlie merchant had been tricked and how he had destroyed the bogus gem. Several weeks went by and Ihe Inci- dent was almost forgotten. One morning the .Xiiierb'an who had pawned the ]ieari entered the shop. -V elerk recognized him and went toward him. "I have come for my pearl," he snid. The clerk was in a panic. He begged the customer to wait a few minutes and ho ruslied off to his em- ployer with the news. The broker came out of his private oflice ami met (he customer. "I have come for my iiearl," repeat- ed the American. "You have the money to redeem It?" be was asked. For answer the Aiiierican counted out the exact amount ami placed It on tho counter. The broker went to the safe and brought liai.-k the pearl lliat was pawned. He had cleverly trickeil the trickster. Ho knew there was only one chance of getlin:; his money back and that was to make the customer believe the pearl had been destroyed. Ho resorted to this ruse niul did not destroy the pawned pearl but a substi- tute. A surprised Anierican walked out ot the place with his counterfeit lewelâ€" gnashing his teelli Just like the smooth' villain In the iiieloilrama of old. n % % 1; '< ri;agi^^^-CS^7gi>gife^iS^.^J^^^^^ AN EXTRA SPECIAL IN WOMEN'S BOOTS Fifty pairs Women's Boots â€" some buttoned â€" souie laceil -including (longola, patent and gun metal leathers, some have cloth tops, others kid tops- High French heels, Cuban heels and low heels in the lot.
