BIG STORES
WIN PRICE
FIXINGSUIT
BY ellison Gardner

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 10
"A victory by department stores
has just been scored in price fix
ing. The federal trade commits
sion has made its first order sus-
tanning the U. S. supreme court III
the American Graphophone Co.
case.
The decisions are to the effect
that a manufacturer or wholesaler
could not fix the resale price at
which the retailer must sell GER
tain articles.
The federal trade commission
has added the provision that the
latter shall not, however, sell it at
a price which is actually below
cost.
To illustrate, the Gillette safety
razor is an article having a GER
tain standard reputation secured
thru advertisement and merit.
The Gillette company would
wish naturally to compel all re-
tailers to sell their razors at the
standard SIS price.
A department store might wish
to make leader" or special ber-
gain attraction to draw people
to their store and might offer the
razors at SO. Under the ruling of
the federal trade commission this
would be proper, providing the SO
price was not actually below cost.
The controversy over this SUBJ
ject may lead to legislation in
congress.

to rifle wounds. They have lost
hands, paralyzed their arms, and ev-
erythlng in general is wrong with
most of them. We have about four
| hundred men that can do no work
Of. any kind. We are getting them
reclassified as fast as we can and they
are shipping them right back to the

ing and going it means plenty of work
for Battalion Headquarters, where
am working. Today we just finished
up three weeks job of making out
a payroll and paying off these said
men. Now that we have them as
signed to companies we are not worry
ing about them. We are letting the
company clerks do that. Now when
any question comes up about a man
we simply refer the correspondence
to the company commander and let it
go at that.
Well, Dad, I guess by the time you
get through with this you will be
reaching for another pair of glasses.
l did not expect that it would be as
long as it is until l got fairly started.
l do not know whether this will get
off on the oath or not because we
have not yet received the G., O. re-
garding the censorsh' p being lifted
But it has been in all the papers and
so am taking chance that we will
receive it in a day or two and then
the letter will get to. you before
Christmas anyway. Hope by this
time that everything has settled down
there after the big celebration and
that no one got too drunk. l have
not yet found out where George is
but l expect a letter from him any
day telling me and as soon as find
out will take a trip down to see
him. do not see why in the world
he does not write Here is best

down to DIXON at about two in the
morning and had an hour to wait 70,
train: The M. P. directed me to
the wrong train and when woke up
in the morning l found myself on the
Swiss border, at Belgrade, and lid
not nave the last idea whether I was
thousand miles from AK or just
across the river Well, l got train
there and went back to Culoz and
waited there till about three in the
afternoon getting into AK about four
thirty. did not go any place at
AK or do anything much outside of
some of the shows at the Casino.
Say, there is one grand building. It
covers a good square block anu there
are couple of dance halls, a great
library and moving picture room and
q good sized theatre there which is
about nine or ten times as large as
the Met in Grand Forks. They have
a large billiard room and conserva-
tory where the band plays every af-
ternoon that covers an extra half
block outside of the main building.
Outside Of that all did while at AK
was sleep. On the return trip
stopped at Lyons which is one of the
biggest towns in France. You can
talk about your Great White Ways
and all Of that but that town has any
thing beat that l ever saw. / never
saw so many street walkers in all my
life. Reports show that there are in
that city over 10000 licensed women
and Lord knows how many there are
that are not licensed. But little Will
lie, as usual proited by the experience
of those who had been there before
and kept his fingers crossed.
! have also made couple of trips to
Is-sur-Tille with prisoners. Of all
examples of American industry over
here they say that that is little be-
low the average but if it is then can
say that in some parts of this country
America is doing some wonderful
things. A year ago when we came
up from LaCourtine to Gondrecourt
there was nothing there but the sta
tion and a single siding. Now there
is a railway center that would make
Chicago jealous. There are build
ings and warehouses there as far as
the eye can see in every direction and
supplies of all kinds till you can't
rest. There is German prison camp
there and an American prison camp.
do not know anything about the
German camp but the American prl-
son camp\is some camp The huts
are all built of concrete blocks and
every time 60 down there they have
more and more of them built. Also
there is casual or regulating camp
there where the casuals go to be for
warded to their organization. Alto
eether the area covered down there
is$about equal to fifteen or twenty
sd1iare miles. And it us one OF the
smaller camps.
IN the last month we have received
inthis battalion about twelve or tnlr,

Dear Father and Mother: r
Well Dad your boy is thirty-four
years old today and he doesn't feel a
day over twenty. This army life sure
makes a fellow young again, or it
makes an old man of him in a hurry.
There are fellows in our outfit that
actually owe their present health to
being IN the army. There is nothing
like regular hours and plain living to
make a fellow feel fine as can be. But
on the other hand there are men here
who overdo in everything but what
they should and they are going down
hill mighty fast. -
In my platoonI have fellow about
my age, a good hard worker and gem
eral good fellow when he is sober. But
the widest, most mulish brute you
can imagine when he is drunk. He
thinks I am the finest fellow in the
company, so L never have any trou-
BILE with him, after he gets into camp.
Poor fellow, he is getting thinner ev-
cry day, and while he made me all
the promises in the. world, Pm afraid
it will only be a, matter of a few
months until we will be playing taps
over him. i.H. ,.-... a. .s
There is. aflot1of talk in the papers
we get about the drunkenness and
general immortality of our soldiers.
But Dad, we have seen thousands of
our boys all over France and you may
believe it or not, they live much
cleaner life right here where there is
all the chance in the world to go
wrong than they; live lin the states. l.
We are seeing a lot of country and
a lot of interesting things. l hope
some day to be able to tell you about
some of it. All III can say now is that
the engineers are playing a very i'm
portant part in this worlds conflict,
and we are mighty proud Of the
chance. b.
1t will only be short time now I'M
til the allies are able to hit the hun
lines any place and at any time and
throw them back as far as they want
to- If we can, havesthirty days, of, good
weather before the winter sets in, we
will have the Hindenberg line brok
en- and have the. huns on a long run
toward the Rhine. BY the time you
get this letter Turkey and Bulgaria
will be out of the game. and we will

md they will absolutely not let a
man go unless it is absolutely neces-
sary. Had a letter from a Denison
friend the other day saying that
Frank Wilken was severely injured.
Frank and always were very good

as yet, but his Office is right across
the road from here and will probably
see him tonight. Saw Major General
Mccain a few weeks ago, together

J hope to be moved from here in a
couple Of weeks, either to Arcadia,
Fla, or to Garden City, N. Y. 1t is
possible may 90 out to San Diego. If
can't 60 over yet I'd much rather
60 there. They have some real fast
ships there as we'll as at Arcadia.
They are only about half as big as
the ones we have here, but with more
power. They are great for stunts.
They compare about like crow and
small bird do. They can flop"
around very quickly. = .,3i$i,r.

Denison, Iowa.
Dear Friends: :
Have not written for so long that
| hardly know how to start. This af-
ternoon is the first time for the last
two weeks that have nothing to do.
Have been working hard but of
course have lot of fun, anyhow.
Wouldn't be surprised il we will leave
here shortly but 1t seems to be very
complicated matter to try and guess
where we are going. They issued us
some Of those wooden helmets which
go over the head and Just let your
nose stick out, some heavy wooden
socks and wristlets about a week ago
and yesterday we had to turn them
back in again There is a rumor 60
ing around that they are going to take
our iovercoats also. According to that
we are going to warmer country
probably Italy or southern France.
Well, anyhow 1t doesn't worry me
where we 60 as long as they feed us
good. The rest of the company is
building. pontoon bridges this after
noon. Hope they enjoy it. The in
fiuenza is not nearly as bad in camp
any more as it has been. We have
only nine men left in the hospital
while some time back we had around
~ men there. We have about 40 men
who are recuperating and do not go
out with the regular company, but are
getting light duty and light exercise
all by themselves. A man here by
the name Of Arkfeld from Panama,
Iowa, just received a telegram that
his brother was injured by a horse
and he wants to apply for a furlough.
Doubt though that he will get one.
Another man from New York state
received telegram this morning that
his sister died and his brother Is dy-
ing and two other sisters were sick.
! made out an application for furlough
for him and believe he will get it all
right. He. sure should haye one. They
are very particular about furloughs,
