Rev. ]. Milton Waldron, J. Lawrence

FIFTY DEAD FLIES PRICE
NOW PAID FOR FURLOUGH

Camp Wadsworth, Spartanburg, S.
c., June 30.-Fifty dead flies is the
price. that enlisted men of the camp
quartermaster's department now have
to pay for pass to come into the
city. AS a result, when man wants
to come into town on pleasure he
purloins few grains of sugar or some
other dclicacy from the kitchen, seizes
his trusty swatter and sets to work.
There is suspicion that some OF
the men have a pooling agreement by
which Jones will help fill flies one
day and Smith will do as much for
Jones some other day. 1t is said, too,
that flies sometimes have con-
mercial value, the price varying with
weather conditions and the keenness
of the men to get into town.

PROFITEERS EXPOSED BY
TRADE COMMISSION

Washington, June 29.-The Federal
Trade Commission laid before the
Senate this afternoon complete and
startling exposure of fragrant profit
eering by huge manufacturers and
distributing concerns and monopo-
lies. The commission charged many
with inordinate greed and barefaced
fraud. The report covers thorough
research into the enormous profits Of
five big packers, four milling concerns,
producers of basis metals, oil and
chemicals, coal and lumber, leather
and canning industries, and is in re-
spouse to request from Congress
which will probably check profitcers
through the enactment Of more eff
fective Criminal statutes. 1t is charged
that the profits of some of the big
packers increased to four hundred per
cent.
Fifty-three per cent profit is made
in leather. Flour millers profits were
increased to three hundred per cent
The profit in the petroleum industry
increased 122 per cent. Coal profits
increased 305 to 500 per cent. Steel
profits increased over four hundred
per cent There is comparatively nc

Herman Germany Schaefer, who

of Civil War fame to the letter.
The grim, relentless paw of war re-

Though the management of the
Cleveland Indians executed the re-

sponsible, and with his passing from
the payroll of the American League a
career OF eighteen years in the major
leagues came abruptly and unexpect-
