Editor The Times:
My idea of a proper punishment
for Wilhelm would be just plain,
common labor and with the liv-
ing that a common laborer is able
to give himself and those depend
ing on him, with the money he
earns.
He should be kept working on
something useful to the world.
Work, where he would get nice
and greasy and dirty with more
or less danger connected with it,
such as hot rivets flying around
and where, III he were not care
full, he might fall from the main
deck to the hold.
His grub should be such as is
dished out at the restaurant at
Todd's or was given the workers
at the mess houses on thu Amer
lean Lake cantonment. Good,
substantial grub, so he will be
able to work.
Make him ride to and from work
on Tacoma street cars or similar

laugh mean 1t.

On behalf of Tacoma ! want to
welcome you back to this city and
your duties at Camp Lewis. Ia
comans universally feel deep
friendly interest in your return, a
sense of security in the knowledge
of your authority and feeling Of
gratitude for your stand for a
clean army, free from moral faint
or official snobbishness.
The complex problems OF the
municipality teaching public NOR
ais l feel will be simplified rather
than complicated by your pres
ence and advice in the camp OF

Editor The Times:
would like to ask Herbert s.
Griggs thru your paper, If he
does not think the people would
eat more spuds if the price was
cut down to so cents, or even 40
cents, per sack.
That would be more patriotic
than to let them rot in the bin.
1t has not been very long ago
that the farmer couldn't get 20
cents a sack for spuds. He had
to give them away. He didn't
let them rot tho.
1t is we'll enough that we eat
lots of cheap potatoes but, do you
call them cheap at $3.50 a sack
when you say that there are tons
of them ready to rot?
Cut the price of spuds and save
wheats, meats and fats.
