Herrick, who has Spent years persuading people into thrifty pathways. Keep Traps Set A farmer was bothered with rats in his corn crib. He set out traps and sprinkled poisoned food in and about the _ erib. Next morning scores of rats were dead. For several nights he pursued his anti-rat campaign and then, think-| _ ing all were gone, took in the traps and turned his atten-| elsewhere. But in a short while rats again were stealing his corn. | “Guess I'll have to keep the traps out every night,” > he said. And so it is with these food profiteers, the rats that take advantage of the war to steal a miserable profit. The other day one New York sugar concern was fined $20,000 for sugar profiteering last winter. Hundreds of men Other firms and individuals have been fined and have lost © their licen for profiteering in the people's. food. The} Foed Administration, Federal Trade Commission and De-| rtment of Justice are eternally on the watch for these| man rats. The government never takes in its “traps’’| and never neglects to put out the “poison” but it cannot catch all of the rats the same night. Probably no human agency could catch all of them.
