the Great County Builder is prof

opposed to profiteering and
means it, which is mighty cheer

he thinketh the Herald shouldn't
write any more of them old-time
articles, but should confine its
good efforts towards good roads
and such like. AS near as we
can make out through the smoky
comuf1age of h e Gu :

publishing so much home news
that everybody wants the paper

wants to advertise in it, by
defending the farmers against

People Should Speak Up

With figures IRON its income
and excess profits returns, the
Treasury Department more than
confirms the protiteering report
of the Federal Trade Commission.
1t has evidence of excess profits
as high as 2,1S3 per cent, made
by protiteer in food in 1917.
Flour mills have been found that
made as much ss 437 per cent
profit, milk condensaries as high
as 180 per cent.
These are unbiased official re-
ports. They are unanimous re-
ports. No miritory report was
fled.
These reports prove the graft
er and the gouger are more to be
feared than the Hun, and that
they are az ruthle IS.

draft the profits already axtort-
ed from the people. 1t can
promptly enact new revenue
law that will divert to the treas

profits which may be exacted in

From this date forward, no
public meeting should be held at
which resolutions are not adopt

gress to take prompt and effec-

Not only does Jones say that
nothing should be done by the
people to protect themselves
while the war is on, but he act

and defends one of the rottenest
protiteering trusts in existence
the miller's trust, declaring
that all the poor devils make is
25 cents on the barrel. when the
government records show that
they are making 800 to 500 per
cent on wheat flour, and as
high as l. 200 per cent on some
of the substitutes-barley flour,
potato flour. rice flour, etc, etc.
"25 cents a barrel" did you say:
Now for some more facts.
Jones claims all the honors for
doing things for the government
so much more IN the Sentinel,
out at least $25.00 on that line,
etc.
The facts are that since the
United States got into the war
the Herald has published several
times more government informa
tion than has the Sentinel-out-
side of the sentinel patent which
nobody reads.
AS an instance, the food ad-
ministration, of which Jones is
deputy chairman for this county,
has been sending to the Herald
one, two and three columns Of
food information in plates, aver
aging probably one column a
week-and every column of it
has been used; all this in addi-

will be possible is in the city of
Berlin-unless there is q revolu-

l have got along fine so far.
Some have a hard time learning
any thing. We got off at noon
Saturday, and don't do anything
till Monday.
We have line officers treat you
fine if you do what is right.
Some Of the boys are getting sore
at the officers, but it only makes
things worse. The lieutenants
and other high officers are fine
enough fellows; but the corpor-
ais and sargeants are "cranky"-
bave to be, as they have all kinds
of men to deal with. and they
have a schedule to work by, just
so long on each thing.
We have an awkward squad of
about fifteen men. l have not
been in it yet. The officers just
called out the awkward squad.
They double time them about
half of the time, and drill them
extra time each day.
One of the boys in our tent is
in it and l surely pity him.
The awkward squad just went
past carrying dirt out of the
street. They are most all dead

They put some of the boys that

on the street. It's just like a

here. and like it pretty well.
This camp is AZ miles long.
We can hear the heavy artillery
every day. That is what 1 put in
for, and may be transferred later.
They put the "eats" on the Ia

we all sit down. We get pretty
good meals. There is sure moth

only for breakfast. l have no

fast. I am feeling fine, believe l

Our company is going to buy
plates and cups-cost about 81. 90
That will save us carrying cur
mess kits, and our dishes will be
washed by the kitchen police.
We all get day at that once a
week.
We get mail twice a day.
Think l will stay in this COM
pany awhile Some have been
transferred, l probably will move
in a few days. Will put each
squad together.
There is no use trying to stay
with any one person in the army.
When they call the roll you fall
in line the way your name comes
in alphabetical order.
We get up at 600, roll coll 6:15,
breakfast at 700. Then we
