STRIP EN- GOOD AND PLENTY.

ACCORDING to the report of the u. S.
Trade Board, submitted to Congress
last Saturday. extraordinary and in
defensible" profiteering in the neces-
saries of life has been and is being
carried on by various companies, cor
porations. and what not, posing as
great industries. Could anything be
more oppressive and devilish at this
serious war time? Profiteering in the
necessaries of life when it is on that
life the nations safety depends Is it
anything but deliberately robbing the
people, the backbone of the country ?
Gripping the people in this way most
surely cripples the government. Is it
not as Germany would plan for us if she
had the planning Money thus filched
from the people. who are the nation s
salvation, should by all means be gath
cred up by the government TO the last
cent and applied towards defraying war
expenses. and to complete the transac-
ton of punishment the guilty ones
should be informed till the close of the
war, at least but more just penalty
whould be disfranchisement and i'm
for life. This may seem
radical at first thought. but remember,
you cannot make safe Americas free
dom, prosperity and happiness without
first securing for the individual citizen
those identical blessings.

to assertions found in articles written
for newspaper use by one of MIR.

to the effect that criticism of the gov

German Influence.
We have not seen the articles re-

Statesman references, which are,
apart from that newspapers RESPONSE

Statesman Indignantly remarks "Be-
fore this Mr.. Creers department has
been used to try to blacken persons
and newspapers that have dared to call
attention to shortcomings in our con-
duct Of the war. Reasonable and pro-
German motives have before this been
ascribed to persons who refused to say
that all was we'll at times when many
things were manifestly far from well.

any of wars real pinch. A few Amer
lean soldiers have died in France, but
that lie only a small preliminary. The
force Of war is all yet to come.
In document from the war savings
headquarters at Winston-Salem are two
or three questions concerning wool.
Have you more wooden clothes than
you really need? Have you any you
can spare to pass on to Others and
save them from drawing on the limited
supply of wool?
Maybe you have been figuring on a
new suit. Maybe the women are en-
pertaining the idea of new dresses.
Why? Not because the old clothes
are worn out, but because fashion de-
crees that clothing worn so often is no
longer a novelty. Ii is notorious that
we do not wear out our clothes.
Fashion brings US a new design and we
get more clothes because the new de-
sign is worn by our friends andlneigh-
bors.
Fashion is an ally Of the Germans
now The wool supply Of the country
is not big enough for the needs of the
soldiers. 1t is not lbig enough to give
any of us new suits until they become
really necessary, not lfashionably nee
essary, but actually necessary. Then
we will probably be glad to get cotton
goods or mixtures, for wool is soon to
be out Of the question If war continues
War means a lot Of things we had
not thought Of. and one Of them is
that the patriotic man and woman at
home is going to wear,old clothes until
they cease to be seryiceable, not until
they cease to be fashionable, mind you,
but until they actually cease to be
serviceable. Bear this in mind. 1t is

TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS

The time has come, not through our
choosing or to our liking. when it is
absolutely necessary to raise the price
of subscription to The Tribune in order
TO avoid loss we cannot well brook If
conditions remain as they are for any
length Of time. Everything which the
people have to procure with money has
advanced in price from so per cent up,
and in this community the only thing
that has not advanced up the present
time is the price of subscription to the
local papers. Think Of it, more than
one thousand country newspapers went
out OF business during the past year
Do our patrons and friends want us to
meet such fate7 We hope not. But
il is wholly up TO them. Wen endeavor
to maintain The Tribunes worth, and
ask with earnestness for our patrons to
stand by the ship.
The raise is to take effect August LIST,
next. Price will announced next week.
During this month all subscriptions,
axearages and advance, will be at the
old rate. We plead with those in ar
rears to remit at once, and state def
nately what you think and desire.
Respectfully,
