CHECKING PRICE RAISING

The presidents veto of the bill car rying a clause providing for an in- crease in the price of wheat from $2.20 to $2.4O a bushel is only one step toward checking the high cost ot living in the United States. It would have made flour jump from $1O to SIP a barrel. Checking of increased prices for all commodities, foodstuffs, min- erals and everything else should be made government policy.
 The cost of living rises then wages must be raised so people can live Then the cost of things rises again and wages must be raised again. Government control of industries, and the granting of increased wages. to the workmen, only paves the way for another hike in the cost of living. It is an endless circle. As the govern ment raises wages it must raise taxes. The people are the government. They have to pay the taxes. So in the last analysis the people pay. The more money a man earns the more he must invest in government bonds and the the more taxes he must pay.
 The plan of holding down prices on some necessities of life and permit ting the ocst of others to increase will avail nothing, and gain no desired end. Stop the rising cost of living and you can stop the rising cost of labor. Draft the necessary industrial plants that make war materials and place the "nonessentials" under firm control. Draft everything and every- body and profiteering will stop.

Becomes Thriving City When Rus sians Assemble There to Escape
 German Invasion

Vologda Russia, July 1.-(Corres- pondence of The Associated Press.)- The German drive into Russia and the peace treaty singed by the Bol- shevlki have brought back to Vologda some of the importance which it had in the days of Peter the Great.
 When the American Ambassador, David R. Francis, selected Xologda for the site of his embassy to Russia dur ing the period when Petrograd was threatened by German occupation, the little city took on new life.
 Prices of foodstuffs scared and, as more and more Americans came to the citv. rooms were at such premium that some members of the embassy staff were forced to use for several weeks their train berth as sleeping quarters.
 The only quarters which could be found by Consul Treadwell for the 0merican consulate were rooms in a huge barn-like hotel known as the Hermitage, which was full of German prisoners and Russian soldiers.
 The consulate's room was just across the hall from the German pri- soners headquarters, but some of these prisoners apparently did not know America was in the war. Some of them came into the consulate the first day it opened and asked if the Americans were still handling the matter of prisoners relief.
 The embassy was made welcome and huge wooden structure former ly used as a merchants club was turn ed over for it's use.
 Vologda, in the days of Peter the Great, was one of the most important igation of the Vologda river, which cities in Russia. It is the head of nav empties into the Arctic at Archangel, and for centuries the ships fthe Eu- ropean traders sent their cargoes into Russia by this route.
 Peter the Great lived in Vologda for several years and built here the nucleus of the first Russian navy After the building of Petrograd, 1Vologda lost most of it's importance though river steamers still ply be- tween here and Archangel.

They will not be acceptable because if they were Germany in 10 years would be as insignificant as world power as Portugal. The acceptance of these terms would mean the annihila- tion of Germany.

A Free Oatmeal Prescription Does Its
 Work Overnight.

New York: "lt is my own discovery. and it takes just one night to get such marvellous results" says Mae Edna Wilder, when her friends ask her about her wonderful complexion and the improved appearance of her hand and arms. You can do the same thing if you will follow my ad- vice." she says. II feel it my duty to tell every girl and woman what this wonderful prescription did for me
 never tire of telling others just what brought about such remarka bls results. Here is the identical pre- scription that removed every defect from my face. neck, hands and arms. Until you try it you can form no idea of the marvellous change it will make in just one application. The pre- scription which you can prepare at your own home is as follows: Go to the grocery and get ten cents worth of ordinary coatmeal. and from any drug store bottle of derwillo. Pre- pare the oatmeal as directed in every package of derwillo and apply night and morning. The first application will astonish you. It makes the skin appear transparent, smooth and vel vety. I especially recommend it for a sallow skin, freckles. tan sun spots. coarse pores. rough skin, ruddiness. wrinkles and in fact. every blemish the face hands and arms are heir to. If your neck or chest is discolored from exposure. apply the combina
 tion there and the objectionable de- feet will disappear. It is absolutely harmless and will not produce or stimulate a growth of hair. No mat ter how rough and urgainly the hands and arms. or what abuses, they have had through hard work and exposure to sun and wind. this oatmealderwillo combination will work wonderful transformation in 12 hours at the most. Thousands who have used it report the same rtsults have had"
