Young Peoples societies of the
Presbyterian church have responded
to the call to prepare themselves for
the day that has dawned with the
coming of the world peace by uniting
with all forces of the denomination in
allied strategy under the name OF
THE New Era Movement. A special
challenge has been offered all the
Presbyterian young people to become
a, part of this great forward moveA
ment by enrolling as "Comrade of New
Era" under the fourfold covenant EN-
bodying the following:
l. Daily intercession for the sue
cess of the movement and the cause
for which 1T stands.
2. Hearty cooperation in the prac-
teal promotion of the work by che
advantageous placing of posters. dis
tribution OF publicity materials, etc.
g. Careful study of the whole task
of the church.
4. Active participation in the Vic
tory Drive in March to provide suffi-
cient funds to carry forward the
whole work of the whole church
Each young peoples society is
asked to form a Company of Com
the individual members declaring
their allegiance to the movement by
accepting a personal covenant of
prayer. study, service. and giving.
Thus is a challenge great enough to
demand the best that any young per-
son can give.
The department of Young Peoples
Work, at denominational headquar-
ters. is cooperating in this move
ment, and has sent full information
to each society on its records. 1t
may be possible, however, that some
societies have failed to receive let
ter with enclosures of literature, or
that they desire additional litera-
ture.

rades, a prominent Endeavor in con-
ference work, has CONTROL of the

Letters to the Editor
WHO is THE PROFITEER? ?

There has been a great deal said
about the grocer as a profiteer, but
not a word about the drygoods,
clothing and shoeman, and many
others. Aren't these goods just as
essential to the body as groceries?
The grocer is no more responsible
| for the high price of his goods than
either of the other lines of mer-
! chandise, and yet he is constantly
being held before the public as a
robber in big profits. His gross
lprofits are from 20 to 20 per cent,
while the other lines mentioned,
have, by careful report through
out the country shown to be from
| 100 to 800 per cent. Which would
you call the profiteer? At the very
outset of the war $ae wholesale and
retail grocers' selling prices were
regulated, but ] have never seen
where the prices of any of the others
have been fixed, or even regulated.
There were many merchants and job
bers in the above lines mentioned
that had great quantities of goods
on hand at low price, but they
could sell them for whatever price
lthey cared to ask, and judging from
1.-THE outlandish prices, and their big
profits, many of them did not hesi-
/ tate. OF course, as the Old saying
goes, look after u little things and
the big ones will take ca"o of them
selves, which seems to be u fact IN
| this case.
Look after the grocer that is MAX
ling 20 to 25 per cent. profit, but
- n
! cent. go by, unnoticed and unknown
II am not objecting to the regulation
of prices, but why regulate a few and
not all, especially in the necessares
/ of life? The grocer is expected to
| do more favors than.any other mer-
chant / know of, and is given the
least consideration. He is expected to
deliver a box of toothpicks, loaf Of
bread, or anything else, and extends
credit in many ways, often acting as
banker, loaning his customers money
to pay the coal man. doctor or rent
man, and yet there have been many
people that he has done all this for,
that when they have the cash they
take it to the cash-and- carry man.
If there are any who may hap
pen to read this and want to get
into this get-rich-quick business, l
will be glad to sight them to many
good ones I know of for sale
throughout the state. / am not in
the retail grocery business, neither
am 1 selling grocery stock, but 1
know of no other class of merchants
that put in longer hours, harder
work and more worry with as little
pay as the grocer. 1 know whereof
! speak for I am in close touch with
them nearly every day in the year.
