AMSTERDAM, June 26. - Three
Czech regiments have deserted to the
Russians, according to a statement on
Saturday to a committee of deputies
from southern Austria by F. Won
Georgi. minister of defense in the re-
firing Austrian cabinet, as published
III the Lokal Anzeiger and Tageblatt
CT Berlin.

discussion of the demand of the Czech
deputies for the release of Herr Klofac
who was sentenced to death on the
charge Of attempting to reconcile Rus
STA and Bohemia The sentence Of
Herr Klofac, a deputy and head OF
the Czech union, was Cancelled by En-

that Herr Pavlu, formerly director OF
the Bohemian newspaper Narodnl LIS
t. of Prague, had boosted probably IN
Russia that when an ensign in the
Austrian army he had deserted to the
Russians after his companions had
killed Austrian outposts.

To the Ladies of the City,
Rv Court eSu of the Editor

With all the horrors of war, so
wildly portrayed before us, and with
some of us engaged in Red Cross work,
while others are at present helping
the Woman's Franchise League in
their work of interesting the ladies, on
the present issue of registration and
voting did you ever stop and think
as to whether you were giving proper
support to our mayor and market-mas-
ter, in their endeavor to lower the
high cost of living?
There was a near riot, for short
time, last Saturday morning at the east
end market, all because, the present
ordinance allows wholesale dealers
and commission men to stand on mar
ket, and they sell things as high and
in some cases higher than our grocers,
and use their influence to have the
small farmer raise the price beyond
that which he thinks is reasonable.
There is an ordinance now being
drawn up, to be presented to our coun-
Gil. at the next meeting, which will not
allow wholesale dealers and commiss-
ion men. to stand on market. 1t will
then be up to the councilmen to make
Some of the councilmen have already
expressed themselves, as being in
favor of this new ordinance, while
others will probably vote against it,
thereby voting against the welfare OF
the people in general. Those men who
will sacrifice the good of the people
for handful OF middlemen, in the
fresh produce line, are the very men,
who in the future, may want another
office. Then it will be up to us and
if these same men will not support
something fer our benefit now. Their
we should not support them then.
At the east end market last Satnr-
day morning, ~ wholesale dealer
wanted the farmers, who were there
to sell snap beans for 10c per ID.
straight, after they had started to sell
them at lbs. for 15c. Another man
who sells a great deal to the grocers
wanted to raise the price of eggs from
30c to 33c and he we'll knew that eggs
were only soc at the groceries.
If we go to market and have to pay
the same price for fresh produce and
carry it home ourselves, that we have
to pay to our grocer, then we should
patronize the grocer, the man who has
probably favored you in the past. 1t is
only when we can benefit ourselves,
that she should buy of others.
The farmer should sell his produce
on market at the same price that he
sells to the grocer. Where it passes
from the first parity to the second it
should be sold for the same regardless
of whether it be the grocer or the con-
sumner.
l can cite one instance land others
probably know of more) where a
wholesale dealer bought several hamp-
ers of beans at s100 per hamper go
