The profit realized on sales to retail merchants has averaged 11.90 a bar rel; on the sales to retail customers 52.50. It is provided in the food regulations that a wholesaler who also does a retail business is not required to. sell both classes of customers at the same prices. But the mere fact that the wholesaler keeps two sets of accounts, one for the wholesale trade and the other for the retail trade, does not bring the merchant within the rule of the extra service to warrant the re tailer's profit. There is nothing mad to appear that the Lawson Milling company rendered the extra service in its transactions to entitle him to 'the retailer's profits.

The Lawson Milling company is to pay a fine of $25 tc the Ripon Red Cross. Upon refusal tc do this, the local administrator is directed to close his business for tec days.

She was proud of him and promised to wait until he came back a hero. Blrdsell came back a month ago, minus arms and legs.

FOR PEACE Oil PRE-WAR BASIS Territorial Aims of Entente Only Ob stacle to Settlement of War-Charges Allies With Intention to Disintegrate Nation. Amsterdam, July IS. Baron von Bu-rian, the Austro-Hungarian foreign minister, announced on Tuesday that Austria-Hungary is ready for peace on the basis of its territorial limits in 1913. The baron in a paragraph of his dis course, made In a report to the Aus trian and Hungarian premiers, but evl dently intended for consideration by the allied powers, paid a remarkable tribute to President Wilson. "There is hardly any difference be tween the general principles enunci ated by the statesmen of both belliger ents," he said.

"President Wilson's four new points of July 4 shall not apart from certain exaggerations arouse our opposition. "On the contrary, we ere able to ap prove them heartily to a great extent Nobody would refuse homage to this genius, and nobody would refuse his eo-ojeratlon. This, however, Is not the main point, but it Is what can also be understood In the interests of mankind. Both groups should certainly honestly attempt to clear this up and sejttle it by mutual agreement, but not in the same manner as, for instance, our peace treaties in the East were Judged. In fact, the foreign minister was very sensitive about the indignation with which the treaties with Russia and Roumania were received through out the democratic world.

"None of the belligerent states," he said, "need ever come Into the posi tion of Russia and Roumania. "In the midst of the terrible strug gle and In every phase of this war. of successful defense the central powers have had no other aim in view but to secure the enemy's will to have peace. "From, the utterances of our opih- nents it appears they have no fear. "If we sum up all that has been said on the enemy's side In regard to their war alms we recognize three groups of aspirations which are being set forth to Justify the continuation of blood shed so that the ideals of mankind may be realized.

"The freedom of all nations, which are to form a league of nations and which in future shall settle their dif ferences by arbitration and not by arms, is to reign. "The domination of one nation by another nation is to be excluded. "Various territorial changes are to be carried out at the expense of the central powers. "These annexationist aims, though variously shaped, are generally known. "The intention, however, also exists, especially in regard to Austria-Hungary, to carry out her internal disintegration for the purpose of the promo tion of new states.

"Territorial aims are, In fact, the only things now separating the differ ent belligerent groups. "The enemy's obstinacy regarding his territorial demands regarding Al sace-Lorraine, Triest, the Trentino and the German colonies appears to be in surmountable. There lies the limit of our readiness for peace. We are prepared to discuss everything except our own territory."

The president's message in part follows "I regret to return without my signature so Important a measure as 11. R.

9054, entitled 'An Act Making Appropriations for the Department of Agriculture for the Fiscal Year Ending June 30, but I feel constrained to do so because of my earnest dissent from the point of view of principle as well as wise expediency, from the provisions of that part of section 14 which prescribes a uniform minimum price for No. 2 northern spring wheat of $2.40 a bushel.
