u. S. Attorney Will
Catch PrOfiteers

Sioux Falls, Nov. Sc. w. Fiske
United States district attorney, SAYS
that he considered local prices, in
some necessaries, at least, unfair and
unreasonable. When his attention
was called to the fair price commit
tee which is to be appointed by
Mayor Burnside and asked whether
or not he would await action and be
bound by it's decision, he said:
IF complaint sof the violations of
the Lever act are made to this office
supported by proof, that there has
been violation, arrests will be either
made Of the violator or the case will
be docketed for the grand jury ac-
cording to the proper course OF pro-
cedure. As the United States attor-
ney's office being bound by the ac-
tions of fair price committee, can
only say that have no authority to
bind the United States to anything:
but II fair price committee is named
that will function and is composed of
good. level-headed representative
business men, who will honestly make
an effort to reduce what consider
to be unjust and unreasonable prices
in some necessaries l certainly cannot
fail to take into consideration the
judgment of such men.

Dublin, Nov. S.-Lovemaking by
the girsl of Ireland with members
of the British government forces has
been prohibited by the Irish repub-
lican army. Any girl keeping COM

Whereas, certain girls, wanting in
self respect, have damned themselves
by keeping company with the army Of

competent authorities both to guard
morality and to stop bad examples,
to publish the names of these cul-
prits and also to warn them that after
the publication of this proclamation
those who persist in the above men,
toned scandalous, unpatriotic COM

ed by having their hair cut Off"

WOULD KICK OUT
alien SLACkERS
SIOUX FALLS AMERICAN LEGION
POST TO KEEP RECORD OF
UNAMERICANS

Sioux Falls, Nov. 8.-"Kick them
out!"
This was the way members of the
Harold Mason post of the American
Legion expressed themselves in re-
gard to what should be done with
alien slackers. c. j. Harris, state
secretary of the legion, wished to
learn the sentiment of the men about
several proposals which will come up
at the national convention at Mime
apolis next week. Mr.. Harris said
that there were several men in South
Dakota who had given up their first
citizenship papers in order to avoid
military service. Harold Mason post
was unanimously in favor of the de-
portation of the alien slackers.
1t was also decided that the legion
should have a BLACK Book" This
book will contain the names of all
persons in the city whose actions
have been un-American and will be
used for reference purposes. The
subject came up following discus
sion of the Red Cross drive Sunday
in charge of the legion when it was
mentioned that several had refused
absolutely to contribute to the society
and were unable to give any satisfac-
tory reasons for their decision. There
wa salso general discussion in re-
gard to what the legion should do in
cases of suspected disloyalty.

Brest. Nov. 8.--The last OF the

left this port for the United States on
the steamer Northern Pacific. There
were nine Of them.
This virtually completes the

Women's Christian Association" Mrs.
Seymour, the Y. w. G. A. executive
in charge of foreign work, said. II
am proud of our American boys. So
far as is known only one war bride
is coming back of nearly $500 we
sent to the United States"
Three-fifths of the number were
French, one-fifth English. and the
other fifth scattered among FL ma
tionalities. The brides ranged from
Is to SIS years Of age. Some Of them
had three or four children by pre-
vious marriages.

FATHER SEARCHING
FOR HIS LOST BOY
RELIEVED TO BE WANDERING;
DENfENTED-ESCA
FROM HOSPITAL

Sioux Falls. Nov. so. d. Ande4-
son, a leading resident of Aurora
county, is conducting nation wide
search for his son. Ervy v. Ander-
son, who is believed to be wandering
somewhere in the country in a de-
mented condition. The young man is
returned soldier.
Some months ago the military au-
thorities In charge Of the hospital at
East Norfolk. Mass. wrote the father
in Plankinton. asking IL he was in a
position OF care for his son II they
sent him home in charge of an at
tendant.
The day after the authorities wrote
the letter to the father the young
soldier escaped from the hospital.
Some days later the hospital authori-
ties secured evidence that the escaped
patient had been in Orleans, N. Y.
Since that time no trace of him has
been found.
The father now is investigating a
slight clew. Some weeks ago a young
man answering the description of
young Anderson appeared in DeSmet.
S. D., driving a Chevrolet car. He
He left the car at a garage and asn-
ed the proprietor to cash a check for
SIS. which he drew on a Stickney,
S. D., bank. Young Anderson lived
at Stickney when he went into the
army. The money was advanced. buv
later the check was returned, there
being no such bank in Stickney.
The car left in the DeSmet garage
has never been called for. The sig
natuer on the returned check, while
it is name other than that of the
young man, is pronounced by the
father to greatly resemble the hand
writing of his missing son.

LABOR BLAMED
FOR HIGH COST
TEN PER CENT MORE WORK
MEANS 20 PER CENT
LOWER PRICES"

Harrisburg, Pa, Nov. 8.--A plea
for greater production as a remedy
for high prices was made by Attor-
ney General Palmer here In a speech
before Pennsylvania mayors, state
officials and fair price committeeman
called in session by Gov Sproul.
Palmer laid part of the blame for
high prices on labor, saying:
II venture the assertion that il
men would work 10 per cent more.
prices would be at least 20 per cent
lower.
IF we can stop this vicious circle
increased wages. increased prices
and increased csto OF porduction,
chasing each other around, as a dog
chases its tail-and hold the line
steady, prices will drop just as sure
as gun is iron"
Palmer emphasized that classes of
the. population hardest hit by high
prices are widows and orphans liv-
ing on income estates and millions of
salaried workers whose income, he
said. always is the last to increase.
High prices" he said, ARE used
as justification in many instances
for demands for increased wages, yet
I sometimes doubt If it is a good JUS
tification, because while there may
be individual instances where it is not
true, still as a whole, the wages Of
labor have increased more in the
last four years than has the cost of
living.
"The man who works for wages,
therefore. is not the worst hit and he
will not suffer In any respect II his
wages do not increase beyond the In
creases in the cost of living. After
all. mans wages are not what he
brings home with him in his pay en-
velope at the end of the week, but
what his wife brings home in the
market basket at the end of the week
in exchange for his weekly wage.
