$1OO, 100000 in the United States

President Wilson as Red Cross Week.
Martinsburg has been apportioncd a
large amount of money to be raised
by the local chapter, and the ladies
have been busy making arrangements
and soliciting funds They are glad
tc report that number of very liber-
al donations have already been made
and that they arc looking for many

Martinsburg, and to give all chance
systematic house to house canvaGs
by envelope will be made by a number
or the ladies, assisted by the Boy
Scouts. 1t will be the aim Of Mr.. Al
eX Parks, Jr., chairman Of this work,
that every house secures an envelope,
and If by chance you do not get one,
make 1T point to see that you give
tribution, no matter how small, to the
Red Cross headquarters.
The necessity Of every one In Mar
tinsburg contributing as stated be-
fore, Is to help finance the Red Cross
hberally as to give it chance to do
the work Of upbuilding and inspiring
its allies while American soldiers are
being modified and trained In do
ing this you are not only rendering
moral encouragement, but actual ply
sical help to the fighting armies Of Eu-
rope.
As one member Of the Red Cross
said today: I'VE consider the order
from the President to help raise this
money our duty, and we will raise as
much as possible in the time given.
We consider that we are as much
subject to orders in this respect as the
soldier who will be sent to France"
That is the spirit Of many others and
good work is sure to result
People Of Martinsburg arise to this
most stupendous call to aid suffering
humanity. The occasion demands it.
Ihe Red Cross must raise money to
care Tor the sick and wounded in this
| war. Many thousands Of men who
have been fighting for liberty lie dead
jtor wounded. Millions Of women and
children are homeless and HELPLESS.
hundreds of towns and villages have
been destroyed and disease and dis.
tress is rampant. Up to the present
tlme this country has not suffered.
While the countries across the sea
have been pouring out their life blood.
| America has experienced a prosper
| lty she has never known before. But
America is now in this war, the most
gigantic struggle in the history Of
the world, and must stand her share
OF the suffering they have endured.
She must bear her burdens, and do
her part in the real way. And with
the generosity and hearty cooperation
of the people Of this country she will
again demonstrate her ability to
handle big task in big way.

white fame differs from the gorgeously

My inspiration for the first gown,
worn in the intimacy of home and at
the poetic hour, was life-size statue I
saw in Athens. It's marble beauty
haunted me. The noble lines, the chaste
whiteness of it, the loneliness of the
head and face and regalness of the form
became part of my life, crystallized
into standard of beauty. For it is
indubltable that while the Orientals

The gown la Grecque is of soft, but,
as you see voluminous folds Of sheerest

smoothly flowing ripples above foun-
dation Of flesh colorcd chiffon; ending,
lending, as the wearer moves, that eff

flowing ends depending from the wrist.
The device gives a curiously light and

the barbaric beauty of the Russian

WINTER FUEL

More coal has been delivered to consumers this sum-
mer than in any other summer on record. The warnings
that have been issued have been needed, and Thousands
of people have put in their winters supply already. The
world will doubtless go on. as it should. during the rest
Of the season.
We of the northwest have had some impressive les
sons of the unwisdom Of deferring the purchase of fuel
until cold weather if any other course can be followed.
We are distant from the source of supply. Only a few
lines OF railroad connect us with it, and those lines are
apt to be congessed, especially in the early winter, by the
movement eastward Of the northwestern crops. With
everything running smoothly the situation can be han
died, but If anything unusual happens there is apt to be
trouble. 2
A sudden great snowstorm, tying traffic up for a few
s@ss, Is certain to cause a good many people sto scrape
sbs bottom of their coal bins. And If the obstruction is
continued for any length Of time, it is a physical impos-
sibility to avoid great inconvenience, and some suffering.
Those who have storage capacity and money with
which to buy fuel in a lump owe it to themselves and
their less fortunate %neighbors to fill their bins in the
summer time If the coal can be obtained. If that were
done generally the problem of supplying the others would
be greatly simphfied. To lay in coal now is a work of
preparedness that is both prudent and patriotic.
Grand Forks herald. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1916-1955, 1917-08-09

has been proved in not a few. Some Of the recent adj
yances in prices are justified by increased cost Of pro-
duction or excused by the vehemence of demand for
quick delivery, but others are based on nothing except
the poor reason that everything Is going ~up"--which
is much the same as saying that the dealer needs the
money and sees the chance to get It. y
Perhaps the best service the government investiga-
tors, federal and state, could render TO the public would
ne to give 1t, clear and accurate information as to which
of the current prices are legitimate. and which excessive.
Equipped with this knowledge, people could protect
fairly well by refusing to buy of the dealers
who refuse to be content with moderate profits and by
boycotting particular articles that nobody sells at reason
able prices. There is probably no one form of merchan-
disc, or even of food, without which the great majority
of US cannot exist comfortably enough for a period suf-
ficiently long to teach the "profteer' his needed lesson.
1t was done again and again before the war, without
any official fixing Of maximum prices, and it can be done
again If the public is abundantly provided with the in
formation required for intelligent action along the boy
colt line.

RELATION OF COST AND PRICE

New York Times: "Profteering"-the ruthless ex-
ploitation for gain of war necessities and conditions-is
treated as a crime in. all parts Of Europe these days, and
the several governments there are doing what they can
to prevent or punish it. The precautionary measure
most commonly taken is the fixing of maximum prices
to be charged for commodities in general use. That
is a plan, however, Of dubious efficiency, avowedly to be
followed only in really desperate times, and its economic
unsoundness invariably brings penalties of various sorts,
the seriousness of which is well recognized by the wiser
and more thoughtful of observers.
1t is true, however, that "profteering' is next to
treason in viciousness, and that a lot Of it is now going
on in this country is commended in many quarters and
