FAIR PRICE LISTS SPREAD
THROUGHOUT WISCONSIN
Block Profiteering, But Give Mer-
chants a Fair Profit.

The publication Of fair price lists
thruout Wisconsin is spreading rap
idly, and already all the counties ex-
cept sixteen have established price
fixing committees which issue these
lists.
To know what are the fair prices
for them to pay and to keep in touch
with the weeks food rulings, house
wives should consult these lists be-
fore doing their marketing.
Merchants as well as the house
wives are benefited by the fair price
lists. They protect them from unfair
competition of unscrupulous mer-
chants who profit from the hard con-
ditions of war times, and they give
them a fair profit while explaining
their prices to the people. This frees
them from any charge of profteering
By the publication of these lists,
prices all over the country will be
stabilized. With fairly free flow of
transportation, prices can be main
tanned at a reasonable level.

Be Ready For 4th Liberty
Loan Drive Sept. %.

Plans are being rapidly matured for
the launching of the Fourth Liberty
Loan drive in Forest county Sept. %.
The mems committees throughout the
county under the craftsmanship. of e.
P. Keith of Crandon, and the women's
committees under the craftsmanship of
Miss Edmire Quinlan of Soperton will
be ready on that date to do their part
in launching the biggest war loan
drive yet attempted by the nation.
With the machinery working smoothly
it is anticipated that every one in the
county capable of buying bond will
be approached before the close of the
first, days work.
It will not be simply question of
buying bond. The business of the
solicitors will be to see that everyone
takes bonds to the utmost of his means.
The campaign is being organized and
will be carried out on that basis.
AS means of facilitating the work
of the solicitors letters will be sent out
by the executive committee shortly to
all those who receive individual allot-
ments asking them to appear at a GER
tain place on a certain hour on Sept.
% and sign up for the full amount of
bonds allotted to them. If the people
who receive these letters will respond
promptly, as it Is confidently expected
that they will, it will eliminate great
deal of work and confusion for the
committees.
Forest county has already made for
itself an enviabIe recoI d in its support
of the war. The people here are fully
awake to the patent fact that the
great business of the nation-the busi-
ness upon which the future of every
other enterprise depends-is the sue
cessfu prosecution of the war. The
Liberty Loan committee is therefore
not apprehensive for the outcome of
the drive. Nor does it feel that it
will require argument or forceful re-
minders to induce the people not only
to buy bonds, but to buy their utmost
