is said that many truck drivers from
Chicago have volunteered to work on
their own hook, buying the beer of the
Kenosha agents of Milwaukee brewer

it into Chicago. 1t was said that some
of these truck dealers had been able to

Guarantees for Consumers.

There must be no saying that the
government cannot establish reasonable
prices. IF the government was able to
guarantee war profits, it can guuaran-
tee just prices to the consumer.
This statement, from President Lee
of the Brotherhood Of Railway Train
men puts the situation in a nutshell.
It is not going to do any good to
argue that the railway men or any 9TH
er body of employees are acting arbi-
trarily and unjustly. Calling names
will do no good. The fact remains that
the burden of living bears heavily on
the majority of the nation, that the ma
jority believes the minority made more
profit out of the war than it had any
right to, that the same majority is con-
WINGED that it is now subject to wide
spread and outrageous extortion by
those in position to control standard
commodities, and it insists that some
thing be done to remedy the evil.
The average consumer can see no
reason why nation, state or municipal
authorities should not regulate prices.
It was done to some extent during the
war, and it worked pretty satisfactor-
lily; the consumer observed that the
prices Of various things jumped imme-
diately when the public control was re-
moved. He would rather like to see
that control resumed for a while, un-
less the problem can be solved promptly
in some other way.
AT any rate, there is a plain issue,
stated by President Lee: If the pro-
ers-manufacturers and farmers
alike-were protected in their profits
during the war, why cannot the con
sumers be protected in the matter of
prices now, when it is harder to make
both ends meet than it was in war times
There are those who argue that the
government is not able to do it. that
public authority has it's limits and
natural laws are stronger than leg
islative enactments. But the public
does not think so. And the public is
probably right in the main. Public au-
thority can certainly exert some degree
Of control over economic processes, lin
iting abnormal profits, improving the
processes Of distribution and thus low
ering prices in some degree. And what
ever can be done must be done.
Also, whatever must be done can be
done.

Mrs. George Hale, Jr., of Ke-
nosha, browns Wednesday
In Pearl Lake Near Red
Granite Wisconsin.
SINKS WITHOUT WARNING
Kenosha Woman Disappears While
Swimming With Husband and Rela-
tives Body Found After Search
Thursday Morning-on Vacation.

All Kenosha was saddened on Thurs
city that Mrs. George Hale, Jr., of roc
Exchange street, had been drowned
while. swimming Wednesday afternoon
IN Pearl Lake near Red Granite, Wis
consin. Mr.. and Mrs. Hale were on an
automobile trip, having left Kenosha
on Sunday, and for two days had been
guests of relatives at the northern Wis
consin city. The first word that reached
kenosha told only the sad news that
Mrs. Hale had been drowned Wednes-
day and that after an all night search
the body had been recovered early on
Thursday morning.
Mrs. Fl j. Nyland, the mother of the
drowned woman, hurried to Red Gran.
tie and this morning told what she had
learned of the tragedy. Mr.. and Mrs.
Hale with an uncle, William Green,
we're bathing in Pearl Lake near the
latter home. With hardly any warn
ing Mrs. Hale, who was considered an
exceptionally good swimmer, sank, as
il she had been suddenly taken with
cramps or over -exertion. Both the
uncle and husband swan quickly to the
place where she had disappeared but
were unable to reach the spot in time
to find the body. Divers Immediately
were summoned and helped in attempts
to find the body, but it was not dis
covered until the next morning. Mrs.
Hale had been swimming for several
hours and the most logical explanation
of the tragedy is that she had over
taxed her strength and was unable
to keep herself adoat until help could
reach her.
Mrs. Hale, formerly Miss Ardean
Nyland, the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
H. P. Nyland, Of $50 Pleasant street,
had many friends in Kenosha to. whom
her death comes as great personal
sorrow. She was born in Kenoaha, June
18th, 1899, and had lived all of her life
In this city. After completing work in
schools here she attended a private
school in Chicago for several years. In
October 1917, she was married to
George Hale, Jr., and since that time
they had made their home on Exchange
street. She had been prominent in the
social life Of the younger people of the
city and her death brought great sor-
row to her many friends here.
Mrs. Hale is survived by her hus-
band, George Hale, Jr., by her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. II. J. Nyland of Pleasant
street, by two sisters, Mrs. Arthur
Fisher and Miss Benedicta Nyland,
and by two brothers, William and Leu1i
Nyiand, all of this city.
The remains were brought to Kenesha
this afternoon from Red Granite The
funeral services will be held Saturday
morning at nine clock at the st.
Thomas Church after which interment
will be made In the family plot at the
St. James cemetery.

Storage Profiteers.

Every storage house in New York
City and other Atlantic ports is stuffed
with fooda Breweriess, diverted from
the liquor business, are filed with it.
Every available building is crammed
from cellar to garnet.
Most of this food seems intended for
expectation. Food experts have already
reached record volume, and that vol
ume is said to be still growing. Europe
is clamoring for American produce.
But the owners of the stored food do
not care whether they sell it abroad or
at home. They have moved and stored
it near tidewater with view to taking
advantage Of the foreign market; but
they will just as willingly release it for
the home market If domestic prices
can be forced up high enough to give
them as big profit as they could reap
abroad. The profit is the thing. And
it is, In most eases, profit admittedly
far in excess of any previously realized.
The food boards are estimated at no
less than 10000, oOo, 900 pounds in New
York alone. The totals for the whole
eastern seaboard are beyond calcula-
tion. Who are the owners of these
hoardss A government representative
says:
tsOf the immense quantities of food
stuffs held N storage the greater per-
centage is at the moment in the hands
of profteers, who are awaiting an OPP
portunity TO mulct either the citizens
of Europe or this country. 1t makes no
difference to them whom they snare
There is legitimate and necessary
quantity held for American use, Of
course, and there are men honest enough
to give this product to the country at
a reasonable profit, but the great per-
centage of food Is held out Of the mar
ket for purely selfish reasons. Men who
never in their lives bought pound of
butter. cheese, meat, or leather with
the idea of holding it for sale at a
profit have jumped into this market
and will squeeze the public if they get
the chance. Millions loom in front Of
them, and they feel they are safe in
exacting them. =
Here is q situation that the govern
ment authorities will do well to sift
thoroughly. It is no time for reaping
fortunes through gambling In the ma
tion IS food supply. If there is no au-
thority for preventing the gamblers
from cornering the food surplus, hold
ing it to create an abnormal scarcity
and then taking advantage of the
forced prices, there ought to be some
! Legislation on the matter at once. If
there is any law providing for punish
ment of the offenders, it is time to en-
force it, before they have succeeded in
their plundering enterprise.
