LITTLE TOTS DRILL.

LYNN-Sunday morning the NJ. E.
church observed Children's Day by
giving a most excellent program con-
sisting OF drills, recitations and special
music. One of the most pleasing parts
of the program was the enrolling Of
the names of several babies on the
cradle roll; most impressive cere-
mony Mrs. Joseph Chamness, at the
head of the program deserves great
credit for her careful supervision of
the program.

CAN WE DO IT ?

An effort is being made by the
South Carolina Exposition COmmis-
sion to raise sufficient funds with
which to present at the Panama Pa
cifC international Exposition a cred
liable exhibit from South Carolina
1t will be recalled that the Legisla-
ture refused to appropriate anything
for this purpose, and therefore the
people Of the state are forced to re-
sort to the subscription plan if South
Carolina is to be represented at the
exposition. TO this end the EXDOsi-
tiOn Commission is now actively at
work to secure funds necessary to a
creditablc exhibit. The Bank of
Walhalla has been designated as one
OF the subscription repositories, and
that institution has been furnished
with souvenir bronze medals which
will be GISen out, one with each dol
lar subscription received.
There Is no doubling but that the
exposition will be a great thing, and
that the advertising value Of good
| exhibit from South Carolina will
prove Of untold benefit to the State
1t is to be hoped that the Exposition
| Commission will succeed in it's efforts
and secure creditable exhibit fol
South Carolina. Let all who can af
| ford to contribute to this fund do so.

81 FOOD DEALERS INDICTED.
Charged Under Sherman Law With
Price Fixing-Others to be Indicted.

Washington, Sept. 4.--Thirty-one e
food dealers were indicted here to-
day by Federal grand jury under
the Sherman law on counts charging
price-fiXing. 1t was the first big de-
velopment in the investigation the
Department of Justice Is conducting.
at the direction Of President Wilson
against food dealers who are ALLEGED
to have seized upon the European
war as preteXt to increase the cost
OF living. All the indicted men are
local produce dealers or commission
merchants. No nationally known
firm was indicted.
At the Department Of Justice ii was
said government agents working in
many States for evidence Of price
fixing wele expected to make re-
ports soon, which officials hoped
would be the basis of other indict-
ments.
To Ask for Indictments.
Attorney General Gregory, speak
ing Of the situation, said:
United States attorneys are being
instructed promptly to ask for indict-
ments whenever the facts will per-
NIT, to push these to early trial, and
upon convictions to insist upon prison
sentences.
1T must, Of course, be remembered
that, outside the District Of Columbia,
only those agreements and cobina-
tions which affect directly interstate
or foreign commerce can be reached.
AS to other matters, State statutes
must be relied upon"
The men indicted here to-day are
charged with having fixed prices "by
ballots, suggestions" or verbal
agreement, and to have circulated
price lists which completely eliminat-
ed competitive market for food.
That is alleged to be an unlawful re-
straint Of trade prohibited by the
States and in Federal districts. rhc
penalty on conviction is a years I'M
priSOnment or 81, 900 fine, or both.
Bench warrants were issued for all
the indicted men and bail was given

FIGURING THE 100000, 900.
Committee Agrees on Taxation fo
Thrcc-FOurthS of Needed Sum.

Washington, Sept. S.-Democratic
members Of the Ways and Means
Committee virtually agreed yesterday
upon commodities susceptible to spe-
cial taxation to realize SIS, 100000 of
the 500, 100000 requested by Presi-
dent Wilson to offset the loss in GUS
tom receipts caused by the conflict
in Europe. What shall be taxed to
raise the other $25 900, 900 has not
been decided, scores Of commodities
and means Of taxation being pro-
posed. The committee met to-day
and expects to complete the bill this
week.
Although no announce ement was
made, it is certain that beer and fer
mented liquors will come first among
Hr':C'C& taxed. Vup uGd.tional4 bnNr

mest.C- wines, bringing n IL IL {lN,-
100000 to SIS, 100000.
From tax on proprietary medi-
cines and preparations OF all kinds
and on soft drinks it is hoped to raise
approximately 100000, while a
small additional revenue tax on dis
titled liquors-probably not more
than 5 cents a gallOn-would bring
the total tax on WHISTLES, etc, to
$l.25 gallon. From these sources,
it is estimated, SIS, 100000 would be
assured.
SO severe was the opposition to a
tax on railroad tickets among COM
ri nf
its unpopularity and probable politi-
cal effect, that further consideration
is unlikely. An alternative to tax
railroad freight has been suggested,
but this, it has been pointed out,
would be expensive and difficult to
collect.
1t also is improbable that there
will be any stamp tax on commercial
instruments, such as checks, drafts,
conveyances, mortgages, etc. Nearly
all members Of the committee agree
that such tax would require too
much administrative detail.
The majority Of the committee also
opposed an additional tax on tobacco
because Of the burden it now bears.
There is some urgency, however. for
a graduated tax on cigars according
to value, from which, it is asserted,
large increases in revenue could be
procured.
Among new subjects for taxation
seriously discussed by the committee
were monthly and weekly magazines
and periodicals, including magazines
circulated through Sunday newspa-
pers. 1t was proposed to levy tax
on circulation at a given figure per
thousand. A tax on automobiles also
Is being considered, either an excise
tax on the manufactured machines, a
tax based on the horsepower, or a
tax on cars owned by individuals.
Taxation Of moving picture films as
well as theater and amusement tick
cts has been suggested. The latter
would include moving picture thea
ters at a fraction Of a cent per ticket
to be paid by the amusement IL
censeC.
''If we only had to raise $75, ,0O0,-
| 000," said Representative Under
wood. chairman of the committee,
I'VE could complete our bill in few
hours. We are all agreed upon what
| should be taxed to raise that amount.
Many other things have been sug-
gested, and upon these there is dis
| agreement, but we will work out a
complete bill during the week"

VALUE OF PUBLICITY.

1t is not surprising that Major G..
Cecil Boult, the English industrial
writer, should manifest establishment
at the magnitude and character of
South Bends industries nor declare
that this is "a great magnetic city
which will take her place in history
as one of the greatest commercial
cities of it's size in the country"
South Bend had gained enough dis
tinction to cause Major Boult to be
sent here for the purpose of giving the
readers of the publications he repre-
sents an adequate idea OF the import
ance and variety of the city's indus
tries, but the major himself confesses
he had no conception of the magni-
tude of his task. In a modest city of
5000 people he has found one of the
most interesting industrial centers in
the world.
1t is a gratifying distinction which
secures this attention from the pub
Lefty forces Of a foreign country. 1t
is valuable in a sentimental as well
as in a commercial way. The arti-
cles written by Major Boult will give
definiteness and direction to the
knowledge OF South Bend that now
exists abroad, and this is OF peculiar
Importance since our products are of
a kind that are universally useful.
1t has always been true that South
Bends products have done most OF
her advertising Through these and
by word OF mouth the world has prin-
cipally gained its knowledge of the
city. South Bend has never enjoyed
the benefit of a systematic. efficient
advertising campaign What little has
been done in this direction has been
spasmodic and correspondingly in
effective.
Our publicity should cot be left SO
entirely 10 the voluntary offerings of
outsiders aid the influence exerted by
', the excellence, variety and universal
usefulness OF our products. Manufac-
turing is the basis OF our prosperity
Without il South Bend would simply
be a county seat. and Mishawaka
might take that away from us.

Mas of worldly distinctions are cast
aside and all in common bow 10 the

does not apply largely in practice, and
that is one of the causes Of the Go

impelled 10 attend church, whether
regularly or internationally. and is not

paying him extraordinary attention.
He should have an equal chance with

room for distinctions I'm a church.
The ministers and members of
churches are making an honest effort
to increase the attendance at services.
and they will succeed 10 the extent
that long established customs and ac-
custOmed comforts are sacrificed. The
seating problem is their most diff
cult one, since in that lies all the op-
portunity for discrimination. The ser
mon, the music, the prayer, the spirit
Of the hour cannot be withheld but
the seats may be so apportioned that
the stranger will recognize his own
strangeness.
