EXCESS PROFITS WILL BE
RETURNED TO GROWERS

Washington, d. C.-Collection of
excess profits from wool dealers is
under way and their distribution to
wool growers will begin in a short
time, the Department of Agricul-
ture announces.
Reports thus far received show
that excess profits were made by
about 10 per cent of the country"
dealers. Correspondence with dis
tributing center" dealers indicate
that some of them also accumulated
substantial amounts in excess pro-
fits. Auditing of accounts involves
a large amount of work, but when
completed the Bureau of Markets
will enclose with each check to a
grower a circular letter giving the
name of the firm which handled his
wool and which has returned the
excess profits of which the custom
er is receiving his share.
During the war the government
paid dealers a fixed commission on
consigned wool, so the excess profits
were made only on that part of the
wool which they bought outright.

Co,.saEvlsT AGITATION
AMONG NEGROES

That Bolchevists and !. w. WIS
have directed their efforts to rous-
ing a spirit of unrest among the ne
groes in certain sections of the
country is entirely credible. The
shrewd agitator does not seek to
SOW his seed on barren ground. IL
the oil is not favorable for his pur-
pose he can expect small returns
for his pains. The propagandists
of social disorder did not need to
create the conditions Of discomfort
they must prepare elsewhere, for
the negroes have been made to
know how race prejudice and race
hatred have reacted upon them as a
large class of the population.
In this field the Bolshevist could
find everything waiting for his COM
ing as the promoter of strife and
violence. II he overlooked his OPP
portunity it was solely his own
fault. He has not usually been
backward in accepting the invita-
ton to work mischief when the oc-
casion was ripe. The proof may
not be clear that he has accomplish
ed as yet much real harm among
the negroes, but there is plenty Of
evidence to show how easily I'M
scrupulous persons may aggravate
a situation already serious. In ev-
ery great industrial disturbance of
the few years the preachers of revo-
luton have lost no time in appear
ing on the scene.
The way to forestall the inroads
of Bolshevism and to check the
of the l. w. WIS among
the negroes is not merely to de-
nounce these un-American doctrines
but to assure to the negro race JUS
tice as a matter of right, not OF ac-
cident, When the American people
are resolved that in practice no less
than in principle liberty under law
shall be the uniform rule for all,
of color or race, Bolshe-
vism will find little room to lodge
among American negroes New

FIGHT IN OHIO AGAINST
HIGH COST or LIVING

Columbus, Ohio---At the direc-
ton of Governor James Cox, the en-
tire legal and executive machinery
of the State of Ohio is to be employ
cd to stop the mounting cost Of liy-
ing and to punish proftcers and
those guilty of forming Illegal COM
binations to control the cost Of food
and fuel. .rs
Conferences between Governor
Cox and the Attorney General at
which the Governor directed that
prompt action be taken, were pre-
coded by survey which the Gov
ernor declares disclosed evidences
of unlawful practices in traffic in
foodstufs. The evil is declared to
be largely in the concerted policy
OF cold-storage plants, which are
declared to be operated largely for
the purpose of preserving high
prices.
Governor Cox declares that the
law OF supply and demand has been
"well-night if not completely de-
stroyed," and charges that there
has been collision between cold
storage and commission men to
maintain high prices now and to
guarantee to traihcking holders of
food an abundance of supply dur
ing the unproductiye season, so
that high costs could be imposed on
these communities.
Uniformity of prices in foodstuns
throughout the State is cited as

Trade With Germany
Resumed by Uncle Sam

for some time that It is likely ocean
rates will go up instead of down.
But as soon as competition is re-
tored rates will begin to settle back.
At present ocean passenger rates
average about double what they
did before the war. There is no
trouble getting passage to Europe
but il is difficult to secure accom-
modations for the home trip as
there are still so many Of our boys
over there that the steamers are
pre-empted for them.
Large numbers of Italians es-
pecially are leaving this country.
They have made fortunes during
the war and they are going back to
the old country with the expecta-
ton of living life of luxurious lei
sure there. But they are likely TO
be disappointed in this, as the cost
of living is so high over there that
their money will soon be dissipated
There is also big exodus of peo-
pie from the United States to the
Scandinavian countries. Hundreds
of thousands of people in this coun-
try are anxiously waiting for
chance to go to Europe and look up
their relations and friends there.
In many cases all communication
has been cut off for the five years
since the war started.
Another item that will help to
restore normal trade conditions is
that our government has lifted the
ban on gold. Nominally during the
war we were never off gold basis,
and the supposition was that any
one who really wanted gold Tor mis-
currency could get it. But practi-
cally it was a difficult matter to
get it. Even when Grandpa want
ed to get So goldpiece to give to
little Willie on his birthday, the
bank would talk him out of it.
Uncle Sam gradually got a pretty
good corner on gold, for he
wouldn't let anyone have any un-
less they had a first-class alibi.
The splendid credit and vast re-
sources of this nation, which had
been built up by half century of
unprecedented prosperity, made it
possible for the government to car
~ on the war and still enlarge its
supply of gold. After the Civil
war it was IA years before the
treasury resumed specie payments,
whereas in the present case we are
back on a gold basis only eight
months after the cessation of hos
tilities.
The release of the restrictions on
gold will help to restore the value
of the American dollar abroad. In
peace times it has been our boast
that our money was worth par or
more all over the world, but during
the war it has deprecated con-
siderably in neutral markets. Now
that the blockade on international
trade is raised, it is important to
allow money also to flow back and
forth freely. This country is in a
good position to stand this, though
some of the other countries whose
supply of gold and credit are de-
pleted are not in such good shape.
Everyone can now send mail to
any part of Germany the same as
before the war, and at the same
rates as to other European coun-
tries. Direct mail service with
Germany has been prohibited since
April Z, 1917. The cable compa-
MES are also receiving messages for
Germany, the only proviso being
that they shall be written in Eng
fish or French.

THIRTY ARMY HOSPITALS

The Hartford herald. [volume] (Hartford, Ky.) 1875-1926, 1919-08-13

In accordance with the decision
reached at Paris for the lifting of
the blockade against Germany, our
government has issued general IL
censes authorizing the resumption
of business relations between the
two countries on normal basis, as
provided by the peace treaty. En-
ception is made of a few articles
which for various reasons are still
under the ban. For instance dyes,
potash. drugs and chemicals will
require a special license.
The importation of wheat and
-four into this country from Ger
many is prohibited, in order to pro-
tect the government in its price
guaranty on wheat. So we shall
get no relief from the high cost of
living on that score this year
Though potash is badly needed in
this country, for fertilizer and
other purposes, and though the
Germans have large stock OF 1t
saved up ready for shipment abroad
there will be some strings tied to
this traffic, as it is expected that
we will give most of our potach
business to France.
Also there is a big question in
the case of dyes and the like. Be-
fore the war we depended on Ger
many for all such materials. II
was a part of Germany's trickery TO
keep us from building up dye and
chemical industries in this coun-
try. Her object was to make us
dependent on her in time of peace
and handicap us" in ease Of NAL
The German agents pulled the wool
over the eyes of our politicians in
nice shape.
During the war we had to create
these great chemical industries. at
vast expense, and now that Uncle
Sam has learned how dangerous it
is to be dependent on other nations
for war necessities it is hardly like
" that he will put his neck into the
German noose-at least not into
the same one. SO the importation
of German dye and other chemical
products will be restricted until
congress can take action on the mat
ter for the purpose of protecting
our home industries.
The tariff is involved in that
question and it is agreed that no
general revision of our tariff law
will be undertaken for some time
to come. Conditions viii remain
unsettled for a year or two at least
and it would be premature to de-
eide on permanent policies now.
The Germans realize that the only
way they can pay anything on their
war debts is to get busy and pro-
duce and sell all the products they
possibly can.
It remains to be seen whether
they will be able to produce things
at prices which will allow them to
gain strong foothold in our mar
kets such as they had before the
war. Little is heard about any
boycott of German goods. Our
people are so tired of paying sever
al prices for everything that they
are in no mood to inquire who made
a given article if it is what they
want and they can get it cheaper.
Our government has also done
away with all control of ocean
freight and passenger rates, and
hereafter it will be free-for-all
scramble. Some ships have al
ready sailed for Germany and 9th
ers will be dispatched as fast as
cargoes are provided for them. The
demand for pace will be so keen

Attention is also called to the
coal situation, which Governor Cox
has directed to be investigated. He
urges the calling together of every
prosecuting attorney in the State
and the summoning Of special grand
juries, wherever necessary.
