NO RIGHT TO COMPLAIN

In nearly every newspaper in the
country the housewife will find a Fair
Price List. This list shows what foods
are most plentiful in the local mar
kets each day and also gives fair
prices for them.
These prices are determined by To-
cal committees representing whole
sale dealers, retailers, and consumers,
They aim to give the dealer a fair
profit and at the same time to guard
But these Fair Price Lists are a
club without a handle unless the
housewife uses them as she should.
To do this, she should clip the Fair
Price List as printed in her paper
each day or week and take it to mar
ket with her. Then, if she is charged
prices in excess of those quoted on
the list she should Immediately bring
this fact to the attention of her deal
err. If he refuses to sell at the prices
quoted, the housewife should at once
report him to her City Food Admins
TRAITOR if there is one, or to her county
Food Administrator. He will take
such action as seems to fit the case,
So much the Fair Price List can do,
if rightly handled by the housewife.
But there is another side to it. With
the Fair Price List there is no excuse
for the housewife to wait until the
end of the month and her bills begin
to come in, and then complain because
her grocery account is higher than
she thinks it ought to be.
The only time she has a right to
object is the day her dealer asks her
a higher price for a certain food com
modify than the price at which ii Is
listed in the Fair Price List quoted
for that day. She has no right 10
complain just because her grocery bill
is higher than in pre-war time. Food
is bound to cost more. Labor is
scarce, transportation is difficult. The
higher cost of food is part of the wal
burden that must be cheerfully borne
by every housewife.
Let the American housewife who
complains owe prices in America
compare them with those in other
countries. The only time we have a
right to complain in America l., when
we are charged prices in excess OF
those quoted in the Fair Price List

ment awhile but expects to be back
with 1t soon. That he has not had a
ride in an auto for ages and that the
railway coaches of France are unso-

their divided compartments. He says
that we get news from the front as

that the free entertainments put on

was a big crowd around) go to town
and get the a man to open the gas
house. He came out and helped me
NIL up with gas. BY that time it was
dark. Well. l got in, cranked up and
took off. The compass had a radio
light dial so l could see it fairly well
and after | had been going for awhile
| could see the lights of Sacramento
about thirty miles away, so | headed
for there and after | got there | could
see the lights out here all right, at
the field, so | came in and landed in
the dark. Now what do you think of
that for good work? The next morn
ing when the lieutenant came in he
asked me if every one got back all
right and we said yes" He seemed
greatly surprised for he knew that |
starred late. He asked me where my
gasoline card was and | told him at
Snisun. He asked me why il was
there and | told him that | left it in
the gas house, as there was no one
there to take it. He then asked me
what time I got back and | told him,
and he told me that was good work
and he was going to recommend me
for good judgment. He asked me if
| wasn't night flying a little early,
and told him | probably was but that
| wanted to get back. The reason
that he sent us out so late Ct was the
last n OUT was to see what we
would or could do. The rest of the
trips went all right and | never got
lost at all and lots of the fellows did.
Yesterday went 1875 miles and flew
over the mountains and through the
rain and over the clouds. Sure was
great sport. l will tell you more about
it when l get home, but l don't know
just when that will be.

September 5, 1918.-Dear Folks:
VIII try and write a few lines this
most adorable evening. 1t was rain
ing this morning when we woke up,
that is, last night | guess it was. Any
way some nice drops of water came
through the holes Of the shelter half
and made a nice puddle under us be-
ton we were drowning. BY the time
we got it fixed it was breakfast time
so ! thought I'd sleep some more, then
boil coolies off my underwear if it quit
raining. 1t did quit, but just then
they called for volunteers to go and
dig spuds for the battery. So you see
that spoiled all my good intentions.
So Pm just as dirty and | suppose
those darned grey-backs will increase
a thousandfold tonight. 1t may in
terest you to know that We haven't
had any issue Of spuds for over two
months, SO get busy and shoot some
across. We dug about 20 bushels,
but there are so many of us they
won't last long. We had to go about
four miles behind the lines to find
any but what we did find beat any
thing for yield | eve saw. Some
were already dug for us with shells.
We missed dinner but we made up
at supper tonight. We wanted to
be sure We got some so we set to
work and peeled for the 10 of us and
made the other guys mouths water
for spite.
We have been out of civilization
for three months now and the last
two we haven't heard a train whistle
or seen a civilian. 1t would sure
seem funny to go back to somewhere"
for a few days. A newspaper that is
the daily, seems a thing Of the past.
but occasionally a stray old one drifts
in here. We get fresh dope of the
French as they get a daily paper from
Paris without fail. Today their pa
per said the English had advanced 80
kilometers last night and today. II
that's so they sure must be moving
some. Our little mascot says the
French say it will only be two months
before It will be over. So have q
good Christmas dinner ready.
Well they are arguing below about
the end SO will quit. Andrew.

We publish below excerpts from a
letter to the publisher of the Register
from Theodore Knutson, son of r.
KnutsOn, near the junction. Theo-
dore has been stationed in England
for six months and was lately
transferred to France where he ex-
poets to see active service soon.
Havre, France, (f63 Aero. Squad.
A. f. F.. Sept. 3.-Dear Mr.. butcher:
AS 1t has been a long time since I
have written you | thought | would
write and let you know that the 163d
is still in existence. We stayed at one
camp in England for just exactly five
months. We got our service stripes
before leaving England. | have gone
from Liverpool to southern England
n north again on the east coast and
hen back again through the middle
part of England, and | have seen many
beautiful and interesting things. At
Winchester | went through the castle
and museum. AS you very likely
know, Winchester was at one time the
capital of England, and the "Old Cas-
tie" that is now used for a church,
was the capitol building. | went
through the old capitol building and
it was filed with old monuments, en-
cravings and beautiful flowers. 1t
took nearly four hundred years to
build this capitol, it being started in
the year 1919, and completed in the
fifteenth century. The middle part
was built in the eleventh century and
the front part in the thirteenth cen
fury and then again an addition on
the back in the fifteenth century.
| also went through the museum
and saw h monument of Queen Vic
toria, and above King Arthur's Round
Table. 1t was told by a lady who had
travelled a lot through the states and
Canada hat it was a question as TO
whether this Round Table was the
one used by King Arthur in serving
his knights, as some said it was and
others said sit wasn't. However. it
was a very old table that had hung
on the wall for centuries. In the mid
die Of the town was the statue of
King Alfred.
Southern England certainly has IN
ideal climate, with a nice cool breeze
from the west. | am sorry | did not
get to take my service leave in Eng
land, but while at the first camp l
thought | should wait until we reached
our next camp, but from there we
were ordered out so soon that | did
not get to take it.. ! had wanted to
visit Llandudno. Wales, Oxford and
London and some of the colleges.
But there's another day coming, as
they say.
| must now close with the best
wishes to you and all Brookings peo-
pie. From your friend,
Theodore.

Sergeant Henry G.. Fricke has been
lately promoted to the grade of SER
geant first class and aeroplane mech
anician. Sergeant Fricke enlisted IN
the First South Dakota Cavalry on
April Is, 1917, at Britton, S. d., and
was a member of Troop a." at that
place for some time. He was in the
service but a short while, when he
was made a corporal. He left with
the South Dakota troop when that
organization was ordered to Camp
Cody, New Mexico. on September 18th
1917. Shortly after leaving Britton,
he was made a sergeant. At Camp
Cody, the First South Dakota Caval-
ry was disbanded, and all members
of the organization with the excep-
ton of the %sergeants were transferred
to other branches of service. Ser
geant Fricke, feeling that he might
be in a permanent location, immedi-
ately made application for transfer to
the Aviation Section of the Signal
Corps at Kelly Field, San Antonio,
Texas. To do this he had to sacrifice
his rank, and was transferred as a
private and so had to start his army
career all over
Sergeant Fricke took the required
trade-test at Kelly Field shortly af-
ter arriving at hat station. He is
an expert gas engine man, and was
put on special duty in the Aeroplane
Repair Division, where he was soon
made assistant foreman. and had a
detail of about sixty men in his
charge. He was made corporal for
the second time since his enlistment,
on March 1st, 1918, and on May 1st,
was made a sergeant. The engineer
ing officers in charge of the Aero
plane Repair Division strongly recon
mended Sergeant Fricke for his good
work, and IN August 1st, he took the
examination for sergeant first class,
passed and was promoted. Since that
time he has passed the examination
for aviation mechanician, and also
been appointed to that grade. The
grade of aviation mechanician is a
promotion which all men in the air
service strive for, and it entities them
to SO per cen increase in their pay,
whatever their grade may be. He
has been recommended as a candi-
date for the Central Officers Training
Camp, and expects to be ordered to
school for his training some time be
fore October Is, 1918. If it is his
good fortune to win a commission, he
hopes that his luck will continue and
he will get an overseas assignment.
Fricke is a Brookings county boy.
His parents residing at Bushnell and
Bookings, in the county for a number
of years.

ishing his training. 1t is a very in,
teresting account of the work the
boys are doing:

Then | go in for might flying" !
have taken all my trips, four in all
The first day ! went | had the great
est trip of Advent to Byron, then
to Snisun, and then home. Had to
take on gas at Snisun. The govern
ment has a station and landing field
there. ! left here at five O'Clock and
flew over the worst country you ever
saw TO Byron. We fly by compass and
land marks you know. Well, missed
the town about five miles out, but
soon found it, and followed a railroad
in. 1t was about sixty miles down
there, then | few to Snisun Bay. II
was about forty miles there and | was
in fog and clouds, and | couldn't SEE
the ground part of the time. When
got there it was almost dark and the
instructor and mechanic that were
supposed to stay there and help me
gas, left just as came In. Well, that
left me all alone and 1t was a dickens
of a note for him to go. He didn't
want to come home in the dark II
seems and he thought ! would stay
all night. Well l had a kid (there
