Look Out For Beginning
OF Var "reminiscences of
1t. Col. Roosevelt Sunddu

The war as seen by Lieutenant Colonel The
odore Roosevelt will be published by The Tour-
nal in serial form, beginning in Sundays issue
The "reminiscences are by young Roosevelt him
self, and they promise to rival in public inter
est the story of Ambassador Gerard's four years
at the court of Berlin
lhe Roosevelt stories commencing tomorrow
will run for about thirty issues. They will
carry about forty thousand words, and after
the first few numbers will be profusely illus
trated. Because the wire had to be used for
the first numbers, in order that The Journal
may present the story simultaneously with the
Philadelphia Public Ledger, the New York
Herald, the Chicago Daily News, the Boston
Transcript, the Cleveland News, the Detroit
Free Press and the Pittsburgh Dispatch, the
illustrations could not be obtained in time.
Colonel Roosevelt is chip of the old block.
He is fighter and a writer He, like his father,
the late Colonel Roosevelt, gets into the midst
of things, and he tells the story of what he has
seen graphically.
While holding no official position in the
American Legion, Colonel Roosevelt is one of
its most prominent members, and he will be at
the meeting of the American Legion in Albu-
querque next month.
Although born in the east, young Roosevelt,
like his father, Is western in spirit and in SYM
pathy He loves the mesas and the mountains
and the valleys of New Mexico and Arizona.
The printing of the Roosevelt articles will be
an event in New Mexico journalism 1t is but
one of many things The Journal has in store for
its readers .ia'1

Anything for Country Until
Assured of Reelection,

Washington, Aug. 15.-Deploring
the ''contagton OF strike disease"
which he said had apparently spread
throughout the world, Senator Thom~
as, democrat, of Colorado, in the sem
ate late today suggested the Disease"
hc brought into congress, it's members
organize a union and refuse to legis. T..
late until conditions have been
changed or. at least until the mem
bers have been assured OF recollection
in 1920.
Senator Thomas said present con-
dtons were a melancholy commen-
tary when it is considered that there
is more money now in circulation
than ever before" and asserted that
If labor conditions continue as they
now are, suffering due to reduced
production would be acute this win
ter. Such conditions he added,
however, cannot continue and he said
he would trust to the common sense
of the people of this country to see
that the laws We're obeyed.
Mr. Thomas called attention to the
fact that the policemen in Washing
ton and other cities were forming or
ganizations which he said might st
some time prevent them from acting
in cases of strikes and he said he be-
lieved the police of the country should
be prevented from entering into any
obligations that might handicap them
in fulfilling their duty.

GOVERNMENT ASSISTS

Washington. Aug. 15--Close CO.
operation between state authorities
and the attorney general and his staff
of assistants, empowered to enforce
the food control law is being estab-
lished as part of the governments
fisnt to reduce the cost OF living
Instructions were out today from
Attorney General Palmer to the two
district attorneys in Ohio to pro-
ceed Immediately to assist Governor
Cox in the seizure of large quantities
of meat, butter and eggs alleged to
have been held in storage in that state
for more than six to ten months, the
legal limit. Criminal prosecutions
will be Instituted. it was said, If it
can be shown that the foods were
held from the market for the purpose
of boosting prices Officials here
were inclined to think that the long
period of storage indicated some
other reason than an effort to spread
the abundant supplies of a producing
season over the lean part of the year.
Acting on telegram late today
from Governor Cox saying that
Cleveland concern in order to escape
possible prosecution for boarding,
was moving lis meat products to
warehouses in Chicago and destroy
ing its records, the department of
justice ordered the district attorney
az Cleveland to look into the matter
Immediately. All attempts to effect
transfer of goods in storage, officials
said, would be summarily dealt with.
Seizure of large stocks of foodstuffs
in storage continued today with re-
ports received of l!bels filed in Cleve-
land and Detroit. and preparations for
such action in many cities. The de-
partment was informed tonight that
the district attorney at Detroit had
filed libels in three cases and seized
approximately 1O,460.000 eggs and
100000 pounds of butter, all of which
had been held in storage for some
time.
Statistics announced by the bureau
of markets, showing a great increase
in the amount of food held in storage,
were said by Judge Ames, assistant
to the attorney general in charge of
enforcing the food control law, to
bear out the departments contention
that prime reason for ENLARGED
prices was the holding Of supplies
from the market.
I'VE are going to force these hoard
ers and profiteers to disgorge," Judge
Ames declared. whenever they are
found to hold greater amounts than
are necessary for the conduct of their
business and the safeguarding of the
food situation during the winter"

BUYING SUPPLIES
FROM UNCLE SAM
DOUBTFUL BARGAIN
After Housewives Pay Postage
From Fort Bliss Most of
Stores Could Be Bought in
AIbuQuerQue as CheapIY,

Housewives in Albuquerque should
not be too hasty about ordering food
stuffs from the government under the
plan made public recently for dispos-
ing of surplus stocks in the hands of
the war department. Before placing
their orders with Uncle Sam they
should consult local dealers. If they
do this they will find that in most
cases goods can be bought right at
home just as cheap as they can be
obtained from the government. In
fact, on only three items. cocoa, rice
and bacon, were the government
figures found to be much lower than
those quoted by local retailers.
Take bacon as an illustration. There
are six l2-pound cans in a case, max
ing all told seventy-two pounds of
meat But the cans and container
weigh thirty-two pounds, making the
total weight of each package of bacon
1O2 pounds. The postage from Fort
Bliss to Albuquerque would be $2.0S.
The government price is $2490 and
the postage added would make the
cost S26.9S or about 37lh cents a
pound laid down at Albuquerque. This
is cheaper than bacon can be pur-
chased here. However. the govern
ment has not said if this is genuine
smoked breakfast bacon or what is
commonly known as salt pork. If 1t
is the latter the price is high.
Stringless beans, No. 2 cans are
quoted by the government at S216
per case of twenty-four cans. The
postage would be 81, or a total of
$3.1G for case The local quotation
is SO a case. No. 2 sweet corn would
cost laid down here 1928. 1t can be
bought locally for 1925 a case. To-
matoes No. / cans. would cost $4.6S
from the government. Albuquerque
retailers offer the best grade of to-
pAat q fes sa9F atf ~ 4rrsrioy
grade for 1890.
These comparisons are not for the
purpose of influencing prospective
purchasers of these goods one way or
the other, but merely to call the at
tention of the public to the fact that
it would be well to make thorough
investigation of the prices at home
before placing orders for government
good. They seem to prove, however,
quite conclusively that Albuquerque
retailers are not profiteering, as their
prices compare favorably with those
quoted b. the government.

ONLY $50 IN COSTS
RECOVERED BY FORD
icy MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED w,Rsl

Mount Clemens, Mich, Aug. 15.-
The amount of costs that Henry Ford
may receive from the Chicago Daily
Tribune in addition to the six cents
damages awarded him last night by
a jury which heard his libel suit will
not exceed $50. Under a law where
nominal damages are awarded not
more than $50 costs can be assessed
against the losing party.
Alfred Lucking, senior counsel for
Mr.. Ford, said this morning that un-
til he had looked up the law covering
the case, he could not say how much
the plaintiff could expect to receive.
Among other attorneys, however, the
opinion was held that in cases where
damages awarded amount to less than
$50, the costs collectabe may not
exceed the judgment awarded. In
this event Mr.. Ford could demand
only six cents costs from the Tribune.

washington, Aug. 15.-Replying to.
a senate resolution. Director General
of Railroads Hines informed the SEN
ate today that while there had been
some car shortage in the bituminous
coal districts, he did not anticipate
any shortages in transportation which
will be in any sense exceptional or
abnormal or which will justify OPP
pressive prices for coal"
"The great danger that confronts
the public in this matter" the director
general asserted, "is that any shortage
either in production by the mines or
in transportation may be exaggerated
so as to serve as a pretext for heavy
increases in the coal prices which in
my opinion are already high, gen.
