officers of the treasury department
that sharpers are trying to get the best
of innocent people who are owners of
Liberty bonds. They are trying to
obtain them at discount or to trade
worthless properties for them. The
treasury department feels called upon
to warn everybody to beware of this
class of swindlers and before dispos-
ing of a government bond to consult
a banker or government official in re-
gard to its value. But further than.
that, 1t is recommended that owners
of government bonds make every eff
fort to hold them, because in doing so
they are helping finance the war.

preparations for an army of $780, 900

which will make it the greatest fight

already. And they ought to know more
about it if their spies in this country
dare to keep them informed of what

When the rumors of graft and prof
iteering in war supplies first began to
receive attention in the national CAPT.
tai general condemnation was ex.
pressed, and none in more pronounced
terms than uttered by Senator James
Hamilton Lewis of Illinois, quite gen.
orally recognized as spokesman in the
senate for the administration. He
then remarked that when American
boys were being shot down in Europe
while fighting the battles of their coun
try, and at the same time men in the
United States were defrauding those
gallant soldiers and accommodating
large profits for themselves on goods
and materials furnished to the army,
it would cause a bitter feeling among
the people. in this country which
would mean severe punishment. If
the troops were furnished with poor
food and defective raiment, or with
guns and ammunition which were
poorly made in order that somebody
could reap profits, it would mean the
prosecution of the profiteerS, and no
jury in America would let them off
with anything less than the maximum
amount of punishment
While there have been charges and
some proof that profiteering in the
way of furnishing defective materials
has been going Oh, it has been COM
paratively small, considering the vast
amount of materials that has been pur-
chased. But it is known that the gov
eminent authorities are close upon the
trail of all those who would defraud
the soldiers and it is almost certain
that swift and severe punishment will
follow their conviction.

Through the rural motortruck serv-
ice instituted by the post Office depart
ment a great deal of information has
been obtained regarding produce, for
these motortrucks handle a large
amount of farm and garden products
which are carried to the cities. The
service now forms a chain from Port
land, Me-, to Washington, D. c., with
branches in Pennsylvania, Delaware,
Maryland and Virginia, and it's success
is likely to cause it's extension into
communities further west. Motor
truck men have been gathering infor-
nation on prices and it is found that
ia radius of 100 miles the price of
eggs varies from 80 to 65 cents per
dozen; potatoes from S1.50 to 81. %
per bushel; young chickens from 30 to
rs cents a pound; butter from SO to
80 cents a pound. There is a POSSIBLE
ity that when the motortruck service
is in full operation there will be an
equalization of these prices which viii
be to the advantage of the farmer as
well as the consumer.

Suffragists will make another effort
to pass the federal amendment soon

The suffragists have been materially

1t is believed that several senators

although the men whose places they
fill were opposed to suffrage Such
is the impression in regard to Benet
of South Carolina, Whitley of Missouri
and Guion of Louisiana. The efforts
which President Wilson is making to
get Democratic senators to vote for

ful aid to the suffrage cause. 1t is
rather hard for senators who are cam.

What seemed rather severe hard
ship upon parents and other friends
of soldiers who desired to send them
packages either of foodstuffs, clothing
or tobacco, and were denied that priv
flege except upon written request
coming through commanding officers,
is explained at the war department.
1t seems that at first the American ex-
peditionary force was overwhelmed
with these packages, a, great quantity
of which arrived in damaged condi-
ton, and which oftentimes were use
less to the soldiers. General Pershing
therefore issued an order that nothing
was to be sent unless on request by the
soldier, coming through the officer in
command of the detachment. The post
office department will not accept these
packages except they comply with the
requirements of Pershing's order. In
some instances this works hard
ship, but in great war with a million
and quarter of men in a foreign
land, everything must be systematized.
