Files the First
Suit.

J. o. Boyd has filed suit In the
district court against w. L. Kirchner
for alleged failure to meet the terms
of contract In the erection of the
Boyd residence on the lake shore

The plaintiff asks Judgment to the

The petition states that defendant

Nov. 80, 1917, according to the terms
of contract, for which he was to
receive s4,774.50 to be paid in four
installments and that of this amount
$4,350 has been paid.
It is alleged that the defendant did
not complete the buildings by the
time, specified in the contract and
that he has not since finished them,
but that plaintiff has had to pay
s1,229.70 to other laborers to COM
plete the work.

Famous Chief Of Secret Service Work
strongly Urges That Work Go
on just the Same as
Before.

That there must be no letting UP Oh
the investigation of persons In heo.
kuk giving reason for suspicion that
they are disloyal to America was the
message received from A. Bruce Bel
ask, the celebrated chief OF the inter.
ligence section Of the department OF
Justice by the chief Of the heokuk ui-
vision OF the American Protective
league.
This league Is governm entail agen-
cy under the department OF 1ustlce
and has done much good work since
the war began for the United States.
This message Of Chief Bieleski Is the
first one not kept a secret, but IT is
ordered given Ito the newspapers on
account of it's Importance.
1t is as follows:
what the Chief says.
/ understand that among Few OF
the members Of the American Protect'
i've league there has developed reel
ing that peace with Germany is prac.
tically In sight and that the need
therefore for the services OF the
American Protective league Is no
longer felt.
Nothing could be further from the
true situation. The need for the Amer
lean Protective league is as great no"
as 1t has been In the past and am
entirely satisfied that the need TOT
this organization will continue fol
some time to come entirely w1thou'
regard to the progress OF tine peace
negotiations. The tremendous ma
chimes which have been organized ny
the government for the prosecution OF
this war cannot be stopped abruptly
and must continue to operate Tor many
months under any circumstances.
The necessity and importance ior
protecting from espionage the army
and property Of the United states Will
continue for some time to come ana
the need for the vigorous enforcement
OF Sections II and IA OF the Selecuve
Service act and for watchfulness for
enemy propaganda and financial acu
witty will probably increase.
To achieve the greatest success, il
is essential that every war activity be
kept at It's highest pitch at this time
until the full fruits of the efforts OF
our armies and those Of our allies are
not only in sight, but actually rea-
lized.

Limiting Cotton Prices.
(Journal Of Commerce. }

(JOurnal Of Commerce.
There has been q good deal Of ac-
tion by the government in fixing or
regulating prices Of articles the trade
in which is seriously affected by the
war. To large extent it is du- to
the demands of the government itself
for meeting the exigencies Of the
time. and is intended to prevent ex-
cesses and an injurious disturbance
OF trade and industries. For this
there is strong argument on ac-
count Of the effect in domestic con-
sumption and in the export trade. the
conditions for which are altogether
abnormal. The policy so far as 1t has
been carried is quite generally justi-
fled, at least acquiesced in by public
sentiment.
One article of exceptional import
ance at this time which has not been
subjected to price regulation thus
Tar, is cotton. The main reason ap-

ment among the planters to affect
the action Of their Representatives In
Congress. It is expected that the
President will be allowed to have q
decisive voice in the matter and will
determine the action Of the War In
dustr:es Board. The plan is said to
be not for fixing an absolute limit,
but of authorizing a narrow zone of
fluctuation, say of cents a pound.
That is, to allow q maximum which
cannot be exceeded and q minimum
which would be maintained by the
government purchasing the amount
offered at that price to prevent 1t
from going lower.
This is a decidedly exceptional
matter. due to the fact that limited
number Of our Southern States pro-
duce a decided majority of the
worlds supply for which there is q
very wide demand. for various es-
sential uses. If there is an article
with reference to which price control
Is legitimate in a time like this. it's
cotton. 1t has so many uses in con-
nection with war requirements that
it's price is exceptionally advanced
and the profit from its safe legiti-
mstely high one for the time be-
ing. There is no other trade in which
there is more occasion for prevention
of speculative operations or exces-
sive ''profiteering." and for adjust
ing the supply to legitimate demands
by control OF sale and prices.
