BOOKER. In sad but loving remembrance of
our dear son and brother. GEORGE Il.
BOOKER, who fell asleep in Jesus one year
ago today, March 16, 1918.
Days Of sadness still come DER Us,
Tears of sorrow silently flow;
Fond memory keeps our dear one near us.
Though heaven claimed him one year ago.
God calls our loved ones. but we lose not wholly
What He hath given;
They live on earth in thought and deed
AS truly as in His heaven.

Some Addresses Wrong.

These remittances, saved from the
small pay of American soldiers. have
not been delivered because the per
sons to whom the money was remit
ted cannot be found. Investigation
has proved that in some cases the ad-
Sresses given by the soldiers in
France were incorrect. In other cases
the payees have moved without leav-
ing forwarding addresses.
The Y. M, G. A. is now making every
effort to locate 1859 persons in the
united States to whom sums OF money
are due. The average amount que 70
individual payees is about $50. In
some cases records Of deposit Of the
money were lost when Hun shells shell
cases the records were lost by reason
of the death of Y secretaries.
The entire amount deposited with y
secretaries in Europe for transmittal
to payees in this country is close to
81 200, 900. Records show that in only
about two out Of each 300 cases has
the Y. M. c. A. failed to locate the payee
and t,,rn over the remittance.

The lower house of congress has shown that it sees the need of contin-
 uing the control over sugar under the
 same arrangements as prevailed dur
 ing this year. In this it differs with
 the senate. which though believing
 that the sugar board should be contin-
 ued favored taking away certain of it's -euthority.7N\That the house has been
 influenced by the statement of the su-
 gar board to the effect that it would - be able to accomplish little under the
 authority given it as proposed in the

A LAST DITCH FIGHT.

. Following the decision of the Unit. ed States su ~eme court to the effect that the wa time prohibition act is constitutional and remains effective until peace is established and the president issues statement to the effect that demobilization has taken place, less interest is being manifest : ed in the other cases before the court and the opposition to prohibition is directing its attention now to the at tack on the constitutionality of the . 18th amendment.
 The effort to repeal the war time prohibition act met death in commit tee and with billion dollars worth of ~os-ltquor in the country held in bond it means wild scramble on the part of those owning it to realize thereon be- fore it is too late.

CALLING FOR HELP.

Once again the attorney generalhas1 come out with the declaration that the high cost of living should be fought and pledges the full power of the de- partment of justice in prosecuting the hoarders and preiteers. That isn't So much different from previous an- nouncements. from Mir. Palmer since taking office. but this time he makes a plea for the assistance of every man and woman in the country.
 It was not so long ago that the country was told that the govern ment was going to tackle this prob lem of high prices. that those who were found breaking the law were go-, ing 10 get the full penalty and that pr'ces must come down. The people h; ve been waiting and watching with great expectancy ever sin-e but the teruency is still upward. al.d it is quite. natural that. the resi't should b. disappointing, :.
 Tlat there Is a widespread demand fo" lowering the living costs s;.?es without saying. The people have a right to look to the government agencies to do their utmost to bring lVilSL dIio NCl pS IOuHu willing to do whatever they can to improve the situation. Thus there is reason to believe that there will be a certain response at least to the at torney generals plan of having the many communities in the country orr ganiZe fair price committees, agree to Duy only necessarles, hold conserva- tion and economy meetings, bring in- f1uence to bear to prevent industrial disturbances and revive the four min- ute men for delivering work and save addresses.
 Apparently it is case where the people have got to get busy them selves if they expect that results which they desire are going to be ac- complished. Certainly all that has been done by the administration forces has accomplished the desired ob- iects. In fact failure to follow rec concentrations promises still higher costs. The call to. the people may not be an open admission of inability to meet the situation but it Is evident that help is needed. Y <
