members OF the House and Senate?
Poor and rent-racked solons. feel

to get It now. After the election-but
that Is another matter.
II has also been proposed. IN view
OF the fact everyone else is under

the pay of members of Congress.
Congress Will not venture TO boost

The Washington times., 1917-12-14

Almost overnight an organization
of officers in the army, navy and ma
rine corps, has sprung up in WASH
ington. and today finds itself lluXur-
/ iously housed, safely financed. and
with every opportunity open to be-
come a thing OF real importance to
the service.
This organization Is Tue United
Service Club, whose address Is 1900
Twentieth street. Washington recog-
Mics the address as the James G..
Blaine home, now owned by the West
Inghouse estate. The extremely com
Portable home has played a big part
in the history, not only Of the United
States, but of the world. Today 1t Is
the club, office. and home of men who
are doing their allotted share in de-
feating the common enemy.
Parent of Series of Clubs
This United Service Club idea will
spread all over the country, and to
France, or wherecer United states Of
f!cers are gathered. The Washington
club is looked upon as the parent or
series of clubs. all to be organized
and conducted on the same lines. II
is a club OF men in all branches, in
and national army, and will meet the
demand for club facilities which have
not been met by the small existing
facilities.
There are many names OF we'll
known men mentioned in the very
full report OF the first meeting Of
the club. but credit for the cold
nerve required to lease the Blaine
mansion at $500 q year should go
to Capt. L. II. Ellison, Engineer Re

Once having taken this plunge, the
rest seemed to roll up easily. The
great big house was rented only a
few days ago, and had not been &C.
cupied for long time.
Sleeping Quarters For 100.
A corps Of housecleaners ranged
through the place from cellar TO gar
ret, and today officers are living
there as comfortably as you please.
Probably no house in Washington is
as well fitted for club purposes as
the Blaine mansion, which seems to
be five times as big on the inside as
at appears from the outside. To show
exactly what can be done with IT,
the club managers are contemplating
sleeping quarters for a hundred men
within the house.
The kitchen of the house is as
large and we'll fitted as that OF many
a small hotel. and It is evident from
the meals served there that the club
has picked q Jewel in the way of q

mittee.
INVESTIGATE COMPLAINTS
AS TO PRICES
If Not Found in Accordance Federal
Fuel Administrators Orders Must
Make Recommendations to
That Office.

The fuel situation in Winneshiek
County is going to be looked after by
Federal Fuel Committee of Winnie
shiek County men, who have been
appointed by Chas. Webster, of Wau-
coma, the federal fuel administrator
for Iowa. The men appointed are Ben
Bear, DEBORAH; o. P. Ode, Calmar,
and M. ]. Klein, of Ossian. They are
three good men and we think will
look after the fuel situation in Win
neshiek county in good shape. The
gentlemen received the following let
ter from Mr.. Webster regarding their
duties:
Your chief duties will be to in
vestigate complaints as to prices
charged by dealers aid If found not in
accordance with Dr. Garfield's orders,
make recommendations to this office;
also report upon claims Of dealers or
others as to their inability to secure
supply Of coal and if claim is justi-
fed we are promised relief from
Washington.
Dealers are allowed to charge the
average gross profit they received
during the year of 1915 plus 30 per
cent but not more than they received
during the month of July 1917. II
coal was sold at $500 per ton and
they got $3.50 gross profit, selling at
$3.50, they would be entitled to 45c
extra or a gross profit of $1.95, pro-
viding their profit for the month OF
July. 1917, was not less than this In
no case will profits be over that OF
July, 1917.
In cases where dealers prices are
too low recommendation from your
committee will be considered as it is
the desire of the administration to be
fair to all.
You will be of great service to your
country, and particularly to the peo-
pie of your city and county and
favor to me if you undertake this
most importantsand vital work.

Camp Cody, Deming, n. NJ, Oct.
15.-NeXt to babies, soldiers have,
without doubt, the most persistent
sweet tooth of any people in the
world
If you had little white tent with
a three-sided counter around it and
did an average $500 business out of
it every day of the year, you would
be licensed to consider yourself in
luck, but that is exactly what the
134th infantry canteen, that caters to
Iowans and Nebraskans at Camp
Cody has been doing ever since it
was opened here two weeks ago. 1t
has been selling On an average eigh-
ty gallons Of ice cream day. On busy
days it dispe1ses all the way from
seventy-five to 200 cases Of bottled
soda and soft drinks and forty to
seventy-five boxes of apples. The
canteen has just received a shipment
of 81 600 worth of candies, all in five
cent bars, and another shipment Of
100000 cigarets, $4,000 worth.
They are expected to last just two
months.
But those are just few of the
things that the soldiers buy from the
army canteen. otherwise it is a COM
plete army department store selling
about everything that the militia
mans taste desires. There are towels,
soap and all kinds of toilet articles,
cards, bedding, blankets, and sleep
ing pads, stationery, matches, liant
ems, water bags, goggles, under
wear and million and one other
things.
the proceeds of the army canteea
are reverted to the regiment that
owns the canteen and go to the regi-
mental fund, large part of which is
used to buy delicacies for the soldier
mess, but in proportion, the regiment
really gets very little of the money
that the soldier actually spends. Since
the arrival of the soldiers at Camp
Cody, Deming has been made into
veritable carnival town. Every foot
of space on the main streets of the
city has been bought, rented or leased
and a short order, soft drink or fruit
stand in stalled.
Business rentals have leaped sky
ward. Places that rented for thirty
dollars last year have jumped to
$50 and $500 in the last three
months. What is probably the small
lest store in the world, there, pays a
rental of SIS. 1t has frontage of
just eighteen inches. Only one man
has ever been found who could oper-
ate it successfully. He weights ninety
pounds.
