Government Ready
to Fix Prices For
America and Allies

Washington, Aug. S.-The govern
ment is taking steps not only to fix
prices on supplies for the allies, but to
lay Vigorous hands on agencies in the
country now holding up prices on food
stuffs for the populace.
President Wilson is eentering ninety
per cent of his working time on the
great Grestion of equitable distribu-
tion of food and supplies at reasonable
prices.
Millions of dollars, according to fed
eral experts, have been lost because OF
delay in establishing prices on these
necessaries, due to recalcitrant
senate.
Consumers, they say, are buying
their goods day by day and in many
cases meal by meal. There is much
suffering. AS soon as the food con
troll bill is signed they promise many of
the present soaring prices will DROP
The federal trade commission is com
pleting sweeping food probe st the
request Of the president. Early reports
show startling revelations in manipula-
tion of many necessaries, among them
canned goods.

AMERICA HAS GREAT
TASK BUT IS READY
Must Supply Ships, Food
Money and Munitions, and
Send Men

Washington, Aug. s.-America must
set herself for tremendous struggle if
Germany is to be overwhelmed. Hun
dreds of thousands of troops must be
sent to France. Railroad engineers
and supplies must be hurried to Russia.
Fuel must be supplied to Italy. Other
wise hope of crushing the great Teuton
military machine will dwindle month
by month and the war will be indefi-
nitely prolonged.
This was the message brought the
government here today by members of
the American commission to Russia, re-
turning from their long and historic
trip. Russia, they report, is safe. She
will survive her present difficulties
and today is doing more in military
way to win the war than America.
The return of the commission found
all government departments, however,
ready to respond to the tremendous
demands they face.

Steel prices await determination of
cost by the federal trade commission.
One company has offered to fabricate
200 ships at interior plants and assem-
BILE them at the seaboard at a cost of
approximately $200,000,0O0
While shipping prices are being
whipped into shape, steps are being
taken further to block efforts of big
business to gouge the allies. A policy
has been decided upon to refuse
licenses to firms charging more for
supplies to the allies than this govern
ment deems fair.
Meantime the state department re-
ceived few insights on internal con-
ditions i'll Austria, Russia and Italy.
1t is reported that malignant diseases
are taking terrible toll in Austria and
with foodstuffs scarce, winter of
great suffering is predicted.

Camp Meeting at
Fourteenth Near Marion

The morning devotion opened with
prayer. Evang Jackson gave Bible
reading on Six Reasons for Bible Holi-
ness, as follows: The Bible teaches it.
God commands it, Jesus died to give
it, those who had it, we can have it, we
need it.
In the afternoon, Rev. W. G. Johns
ton, pastor of the Free Methodist
church, preached. He Disseminated
clearly between the justified and the
sanctified life, and the relations Of the
spirit, soul and body.
Mr.. Hockett led the evening song
service. The Highland quartet sang
an excellent selection, entitled, GA Sin
ner, Saved by Grace Evang Jackson
preached. His discussion dealt with
both modern and old fashioned or real
revivals. showing how far the present
age has drifted from the old lines. He
closed by giving the text from John
81, eye must be born again" Some
prayed through in the after service.
Come and hear Evan. K. H. Jackson,
you will not be disappointed.

ell at San Francisco and from there
to an army training camp in Texas
Then there came a call for men to
volunteer to go with signal unit to
France to join General Pershing. AT
the call, sixty eight men stepped forth
as one man, and among them was Mer-
ril Penn.
1t is reported that William Per
Itch, of this city, who was scheduled
to leave an American port for France
few days ago, saw some excitement
before he got out of the harbor as the
transport on which he was to travel
across the Atlantic was rammed and
a hole about twenty five feet long torn
in its bottom. However, Private Per
Itch with others was safely landed
and placed on board another boat, or
perhaps another story would have to
be told.

making a total of 1913 sold during the

action over an automobile truck, was
filed in the circuit court yesterday,
The answer states that ON June IL
the plaintiff notified the defendant
that he wished to purchase a two ton
automobile truck. They state they were
agents for the Smith Form-a.Truek K
company. They allege that they showed
him a $3.50 Maxwell and told him they
had a truck attachment that would
make a truck out of the Maxwell. 1t is
stated Niemeyer authorized them to go
ahead and get the Maxwell and the
truck attachment, which was to cost
about 5000. This they say they did and
the plaintiff took it. Now it is deelar-
ed he refuses to make the second pay
ment.

business OF the county until
it is one of our big indus
tries. Our merchants pay
taxes here, they help us in

the sellers OF produce will
give them the preference over
any one else, especially one
