Copy to keokuk
Board.

Persons found to be socially diseas-
ed may be restrained in their homes
or if in the judgment Of the health
| officers they are a menace to the
public health, in a separate house or
| institution.
An amendment to state board OF
health regulations originally passed
| April 9, this year, was drafted May
90. A copy of the amendment has
/ reached Keokuk board Of health Of
ficials.
The board here has been handling
all such cases according to the states
ruling. 1t is expected that federal
officer will arrive in Keokuk some
time soon to give further instruc-
tons.
! Mayor Ed. S. Lotion said today that
all possible assistance will be given
the government in keeping the COM
munity free Of social disease.
| What Amendment Says.
! The amendment to the state ruling
says:
eli person Is to be restrained,
/ the case Is restrained at home,
I unless the person is Of such
| character that it would be
menace to the public health to
allow this kind OF restraint If
the person has no home or Is
| disreputable character or refuses
to comply with the order of re-
straint or for any other reason
| cannot be successfully restrained
| at home, then the health officer
should order them restrained in
| a separate house or detention
/ hospital The local health Of
ficer decides, in each case,
whether the person is to be re-
strained, whether the person can
/ be safely restrained at home or
I whether 1t is necessary to re-
1 strain the person in separate

Protection Assured.
ut is the idea of both the
military authorities of the Unit
ed States and of the state board
of health that this matter be
handled with as little injury to
the person afflicted as is pos
sible and still protect the people
and especially that class of
young men from whom our

con the contrary local health
officers should enforce the rules

MACHINERY PRICES
STILL GOING UP
Farmers Must Pay Increased
Costs Regardless of Set
Price on Wheat.

While the farmers have accepted
the set price on their 1918 crop of
wheat and gone right ahead prepar-
ing to raise the largest amount OF
grain ever grown in the history or
the country. advances have been
steadily made in the things they will
have to buy, so that the purchasing
price of bushel of wheat will take
another shrinkage by the time the
season is over.
Indisputable evidence Is being fur
nished the federal trade commission
of a general raise in the price of all
machinery and supplies needed on
the farm for the season of 1918, and
the commission is asked to take ac-
ton to protect the farmers from this
unnecessary exploitation.
Want Prices On Commodities Fixed.
| Senator Curtis of Kansas made an
appeal On the floor of the senate the
other day for spirit of fairness with
| relation to the things the farmer has
| to buy and SELL He wanted some
plan provided where the farmer,
whose wheat prices has been fixed,
could have protection as well in the
quantity of machinery he is required
to buy this spring.
He called attention to an exchange
| Of letters between Ed Hockaday Of
! Oklahoma, and Victor Murdoch, of
! EoI do cin
aday is one of the largest machinery
dealers in the SOUTH owning several
large stores throughout that section.
He charged in his letter that the
manufacturers were making unjust
advances in prices on machinery and
! farm supplies, and Mr. Murdoch
wrote and asked him il he could give
specific information.
Concerns Are All Named.
Hockaday responded with list OF
the firms who are raising prices over
/ those of a year ago and named
enough direct Instances to satisfy the
most curious. He mentioned the
John Deere Pillow Co. Emerson-Brant-
/ ingham Co., Rock Island Plow Co.
international Harvester Co.. Oliver
Pillow Co., Parlin & Orendorff Pillow
Co. In 1916 they put on small ad-
vance of 10 per cent or Is per cent;
in the early part of 1917 they made
several advances. and later they put
ON rs or 80 per cent more.
For instance. let us take a gang
pillow weighing 700 pounds. which dur
1 ing 1916 cost $50 to SIS. The price
is 500 to $l05 now, and the same
old SKY is still the limit. Take a
seven-foot wheat binder. including
tongue truck and transport. In 1915
the retailer paid 1920 In the fall OF
1916 it advanced $40 In the spring
of 1917 there was another advance
Of SIG. and last fall there was a So
, advance. making total of $S3 and
bringing the cost to s2O3 This is Il
per cent.
1t is now up to Federal Trade
commission to act and act soon.

STRIKERS KILLED.;
Gun men ESCAPE
Accommodating New Jersey
JuriSt Scores Sheriff for En-
p|oying Thugs,

NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ j., Jan. 10.
Justice Bergen has dismissed five
gun men who, on Jan. 10, 1918, killed
two strikers and injured 10 others in
the fertilizer strike at the Williams
e. Clark plant, near here. Four Of
the thugs were fined $500 and their
leader paid $1,000. The prosecution
agreed that all other indictments of
first degree murder be quashed.
The strikers were unorganized when
they suspended work on January 4,
1915, to enforce former rates of 50 a
day, which had been reduced to $3.50
on the previous October. They were
later unionized and the old rate was
re-established.
; In instructing the grand jury to re-
turn indictments against the gun men
Justice Bergen scored the sheriff for
swearing in as deputies professional
gun men furnished by a Newark de-
tective agency. But this condemna-
ton Of the sheriff was three years
ago when the public was aroused
against this outrage. Since then the
incident has been forgotten and the
murderers are dismissed by Justice
Bergen with fines paid by those who
employed them.
