oring to stir up sentiment 1, favor OF
increasing the pay of the grade teach

pay for cleaning and disinfecting both

during the holidays. This citizen also
made great improvement In our water
system. He is a member OF the sani-
tation committee.
The town Improvement committee
reports that II plans to beautfy GER
tain parts Of the town, and the morals
committee also recommends enforce
ment OF the Sunday laws In regard
to several business places in town.
All the reports were freely discussed
and everyone left the meeting feeling
that the '1eague" was successfully
launched. Everyone wonders why we
have not been doing these things all
along.
Thus II would be clear to every one
that this great citizens organization
Of our state, which is supported by
private contribution-the largest per
cent of these contributions coming
from citizens OF Richmond---is doinH
a work In which every citizen OF the
commonwealth should take an Interest

leading every other state in the union
In the thoroughly organized commu-

Washington, July 26-Rerorting to the
Senate today on its investigation of the
sudden rise in price of American flags at
the time the country entered the war. the
federal trade commission expressed the
opinion that some legislation should pro
tect the public against unreasonable
prices resulting not only from unlawful
agencies but from abnormal conditions a

When the wave of patriotism swept the
country prices of flags doubled and
tripled, and senators charged that flag
makers end ,merchants simply were

The commission reported that the rise
was due to unprecedented demand and
attempts by an assertion Of 1agmakers
to fix prices.
The report points out that while the
~ost of materials has not increased more
than 80 per cent. in the last year, the
margin of manufacturers on new busi-
ness has been 500 per cent. Some retail
dealers have realized 400 per cent. profit.
