Nowhere is the spirit of patriotism
shown more enthusiastically than
through the Patriots Fund whose con-
tributors are not reluctant givers who
contribute because they think they
have to do so or because they are
forced to give, but because they take
a delight in having the privilege Of
helping to furnish the much needed
comforts to the boys in the trenches
and to the destitute families of those
soldiers In France and Belgium who
have given their lives for the cause
of liberty.
The above letter, received from one
Of the most prominent business men in
the city of Kenosha, is an exemplifca-
ton of the spirit in which these con-
tributions are made. This letter comes
from man who has many other calls
for aid, and the amount pledged by him
to the Patriots Fund by no means rep
resents the total of his contributions.
Numbers of other letters are being
received daily by NJ L. Dowse, Of the
Patriots Fund, either increasing con
tributions or expressing gratitude for
funds received for some worthy war
work. Among the latest is one from the
Red Cross Society thanking che Fatri-
OTIS Fund for the last contribution
and outlining the needs of the Red
Cross for future work.

The argument Is that the bolsheviki
recently have gained a hold among

peace.

SAYS PR|CE-F|X|NG HAS
ADVANCED COAL COST
Clifford Thorne Tells Senators Pub
lie Has Not Enough Voice
in Investigations.

Clifford Thorne Of Chicago. who told
the Senate Investigating committee to-
day he had made q study Of tho coal
situation in the last six months. de-
clared government price-fixing had ad-
vanced prices. that operators were
making excessive profits and that the
public did not have sufficient voice in
governmental investigation to gain
data for price regulation.
| Mr.. Thorne did not charge favoritism
| in prices to the consumer or railroads
and large public utilities, but he did
testify that the National Union Coal
Company at Ward, Iowa. was selling
100 tons of coal daily to the govern
ment at Camp Dodge at q price SO per
15o tons Of the same kind Of coal de-
ilivered daily to the Burlington rail-
road.
Mr.. Thorne said he made his investi-
cation for the public utilities bureau OF
Philadelphia and for the Iowa section
| Of the electric light association. He
| said that in Iowa coal operators testi-
| fed at state investigation that prices
set by the government would allow
them profits many times greater than
| In Illinois. he said, certain operators
were allowed to charge $1.s5 for run of
mine coal when their own cost sheets
showed they could produce 1t for $1.01.
| II think the government operation
of railroads will tend to improve the
distribution Of COAL" Mr.. Thorne said.
"but the government operation OF rail-
roads will not render the slightest as
sistance to the establishment of rea-
sonabfe prices on coal. This problem
remains untouched"
David L. Wing, an Investigator OF
the Federal Trade Commission, also said
he believed the Illinois operators were
making very largo profts." He prom
ised to furnish the committee latest
cost sheets SO that comparisons may
be made with prices allowed.
The question Of whether men inter-
ested in business should have part
in government regulation OF that busi-
ness, Mr.. Thorne said. appealed to him
like putting q negro In a watermelon
patch and telling him not to eat any
melons"
Mr.. Thorne estimated tho coal opera
tors of the United States were now

with competition In the Illinois field
In August, 1916, the average price for
slack coal was $1.26. and the price now
under regulation 10 $1.70, he said.
His investigation had convinced him
that 1t would be advisable to close many
small mines with high cost production.
