 pz rsv sr tse ynssd oys .s ss.os wss sa tss dictates Of our president, Woodrow
 Wilson, would ike to ask the follow ipg.
 They are d.bstins in congress- oyer scIsctive Draft . grand idea and which win presumably be passed by congress-. Why not make the man. | ipuIators of food products be incIud-
 p. o Of tSs These sS :n ans psq wI gladly fly small American flag on | their automobile sides, very patriotic Here at tb.s present crisis the farmer
 means that his productions are going to be raised in prices accordingly, It is certainly only right he should be paid for his labors. He is Q man
 to be honored but does 1t behoove the | manipulators and wholesaler to in- crease their prices for products, ten fold. Finally comes the retailer who \ invests his money fin his business. He has either to pay these patriotic men | their price or loose out. if he has a ! surplus stock, and is uDderSeiifng, he is forced out of business.
 Here in Norwich recently a salesman for a canning corporation notifies the retailer that owing to the price of tin. going to be increased in price. and | presumably decreased in quality. whereas, in matter of fact. these goods | were canned previous to the present war. They are going to clean up. and get enough finance ahead to pay the price of tin. etc. in the future. so that the poor stockholders will not have F to loose out on their dividends. etc, 1 Americans flying American flags on their automobiles. They in turn are | tipped off what is coming. They cor | ner all the canned goods they can get | with their wealth. lay in a regular !! stock for future use and when the ev- | eryday working man going to buy food products. There are none in sight, | they are all in the wealthy mans cul- | lery. There is another raise in price l of fresh canned goods Give to ten | years old) and the worlingman pays | all the time. This applies to all the | necessities of life. Even the little in | fant is going to suffer for the price ! of the uncasing Condensed Milk if l need be.
 Whr is going to become of this | cosmopolitan people. if combines and 1 corporations are allowed to reap a | harvest upon the blood of the work | ingmSn, who stands for what the Stars and Stripes mean
 | Who is going to feed our women and children. when we answer the call | should it come to us to shoulder gun. L Not this man who is seeking to bleed our, last dollars for our only means of 1 subsistence.
 His patriotism just goes as far as | the almighty dollar is concerned | You have done a noble ect for Bel gium and it will go down in history. l We trust you. and know it is in your power now to do likewise to us. even \ though we are not is such bad cir cumstances as they. were.
