ought to turn out, but it has got SO
that nobody much but the Elks are
ever there, and there's no reason why
hundreds of others oughtn't to be IN

Tell 'em that never before In the
history Of America has there been
such a scene as this on thursday

KEOKUK PRICES
OF TABLE FOOD
How the List Published in The Gate
City Every Day is Made
and Its Eject on
Pricss.

The table of official food prices In
Keokuk. published in The Gate City
every day, is intended to absolutely
govern the maxi mum prices OF all
food stuffs in this city and nearby
towns. 1t applies 10 Montrose and
Donnellson and is also puol!s:,ed IL
the Donnellson Review.
The prices are made by the price
interpreting committee appjiEted by
Food Administrator Deems on the
nomination of J. f.. Elder, food adj
ministrator for Lee county, ard con
sumers should pay no more than the
retail prices named therein. If any
grocer asks more, ne should be re-
ported to ]. F. Elder anu the case
will be attended 10 at once
The prices will be checked very
rigidly, and any retailer charging
more than the maximum of profit
that has been outlined in a schedule
sent from Washington, will be con-
sidered as engaged in unfair prac-
tees. and will be dealt with accord
ingly by the food administration.
The price interpreting committee
consists of representatives from the
consumers, the retailers, and the
wholesalers The wholesalers and
TtIdIIeTS ul5tlOSe litli "
the committee which applies to the
costs therein the range of reasonable
profits which has been recommended
by Washington. The prices resulting
are those paid by the retailer to the
W wholesaler. and the price that
should govern the consumer in pur-
chasing from retailers.
If the retailers charge more than
the prices published by the price in
terpreting committee they are guilty
of profiteering and the food admins
tration will undertake to prevent the
practice. This can be done because
the retailer must buy his supplies
from a wholesaler who is licensed by
the food administration and he may
be required to cease selling supplies
to the retailer who does not obey the
rules OF the price interpreting COM
mittee.

Throwing In Reserves;
4By J. w. T. Mason, United Press
War Expert.1
NEW YORK. Sept. 4.-von linden
burg is throwing reserves into the
(,ambrai-Douai sector with the ut
most rapidity, for the purpose OF pre-
venting his retreat from becoming
rout. The continuation Of Mars hal
Haig's pressure in this area Is being
developed against Cambria from two
directions, west and southwest The
envelopment of Cambria is thus In
creasingly threatened. Won linden
burg is adopting desperate exped-
tents to prevent an Overwhelming
rush from cutting off Cambria before
the German plans are perfected Tor
its orderly evacuation
To make Won Hindenburg's prob
lem more difficult, Field Marshal
Haig Is now threatening Douai as well
AZ Cambria The development OF
chs new attack, fifteen miles to the
north of the Cambria operations,
greatly enlarges the line over which
Won Hindenburg must spread his re-
serves. The occupation of Douai pre-
maturely by the British, while not as
disastrous as would be such a catas-
trophe to the Germans at Cam orai'
would have an important influence
upon the security of the German po-
sitions defending Lille. Won linden
burg therefore must divide his atten'
ton between holding for the time be
ing both Cambria and Douai.
Where to set reserves for this dou'
BILE duty is now Won HindenbuTes
most pressing problem. His normal re
serve has been worn away by the
fighting during the past five and
a half months. He has been unable &c
gather new force by shortening his
line to the present because the cas-
ualties he has suffered more than
equalled the saving of men through
the reduction of trench mileage.
Fresh manpower is practically non
existent for the Germans. The rein
rorcements sent into the Cambrai-Dou
al area are unquestionably secondary
fighting material, wearied and with
put a spirited morale. This means
that Won Hinderburg cannot get alons
with the usual small number of units
for holding strong defensive positions
Two or three times the number oi
men formerly required must be
thrown into the combat to protect tht
line In other words Won Hindenburf
must match the allies man for man i
Cambria and Douai are to be retained
In German hands a little longer. For
merly one defender to from two t.
three of an attacking force was con
sidered a safe proposition. To brins
this Accommodations or reserves tc
northern fighting areas, however Vor
siindenburg must quickly begin Il
shorten his line elsewhere or else
abandon the Cambria sector outright
