The death of Mrs. Sallie Woods

ers and even soldiers at the front, and
in order to relieve the needs Of the
workers and soldiers reQuisi-
tion is being made on the extra cloth
ing Of the civilian population. The
terms OF the plan Of procedure are
rather mild on their face, in that they
specify that people who have extra"
clothes must give them up to the gov
ernment; but in actual operation this
plan OF procedure Is weighing heavily
on the civilian population. In many
cases 1t is taking all the clothes to be
had and leaving nom producers OF the
middle and lower classes practically
naked. The idea Is that workers and
fighters must be clothed and fed re-
gardless Of what happens to other
people. and as the result a large por-
tion Of the population Of Germany Is
being reduced to desperate straits in
the matter Of clothing.

petition asking for an election for
township supervisor.
The Enquirer has not said anything
like that.
What The Enquirer said was that
the executive committee is without
any legal authority to require SUCH a
petition. and that TO require such
petition is violation OF the law OF IN"
party and the law Of the state.
But we are not advising anybody
not to present the petition the eNecu-
tive committee prescribes. On the
contrary. we advise the people of
those townships who desire to recon-
mend their supcrN isors 10 present
these petitions.

Government Fixes Prices Of Cotton
Goods.-Prices for cotton products
showing reductions from 20 to 30 per
cent as compared with quoted market
prices have been approved by Presi-
dent Wilson. The prices were agreed
upon at conferences between the price
fixing committee of the war Industries
board and O committee representing
cotton goods manufacturers.
The new prices are:
SO Inch 4Sxis 800 yard sheeting. 60
cents per pound.
36-inch 56x6O 400 yard shceting.
20 cents per pound.
3S5-inch $3.50 5.35 yard print cloth.

81 cents per pound.

33 per cent from the list.
The war Industries board has an
nounced that a committee Is at work
on list comprising a full line OF
staple cotton fabrics for the purpose

days.

piece goods, Of which the govern
ment Is a heavy purchaser. They ap-
ply. however. to civilian as well as
government purchases.
The price fixing committees action
with regard to finished cotton Is be-
lieved to be the forerunner OF price
fixing on virtually all other commodi-
ties OF which the government Is n
