COFFEE PRICE NOT DECLINING
Will Go to SO Cents or Higher,
Roasters' Head Says at cIeve-
land Convention.

Cleveland, O.-The price of coffee
is not going to be cheaper for while
according to a statement by Carl w.
Brand of Cleveland, president of the
National Coffee Roasters' association,
who presided at a sectional meeting
here Of rs coffee roasters from Ohio,
western Pennsylvania, Indiana and
southern Michigan. Coffee has ad-
vanced in price on account of a severe
frost In Brazil, Mr.. Brand said, and
he would not be surprised to see good
coffee retail at so cents a pound and
perhaps higher in the near future.

TIPS PUZZLE FOR RICH GIRLS
Do When Officers Slip Them
Quarters.

New York.-YOung women of rich
families who serve the officers canteen
at the Pershing club of the war camp
community service, Forty-fourth street
and Madison avenue, are perplexed as
to what to do with the tips sometimes
left by officers.
How to act when an ensign or lieu
tenant hands one a quarter is puzzle
that has put wrinkles on the brows of
several of the junior league members
who wait on the tables. They do not
wish to humiliate an officer by refus-
ing his well meant gift, but of course
it Is impossible to accept it. Many of
the young women have fathers who
could buy at least one battleship
apiece.
The trouble reached its climax re-
Gently. An embarrassed ensign left the
canteen after presenting two thin
dimes to the daughter of a steel king.
Puzzled at her manner, he sought in
formation from the woman in charge.
Il tipped that swell looking waitress
20 cents and she seemed put out" said
he. "She got all flushed. Wasn't 1t
enough?"
Not enough to buy her poor dog
bone" was the answer. "She drives
her own car and has an income about
equal to the presidents pay. She's
volunteer worker"
Light dawned on the boyish naval
man and he streaked for the door,
muttering something about never tip
ping another waitress.

uedNIy upon the shoulders of bust
ness and relatively less upon govern
mental machinery. OF the two grand
divisions of reconstruction, demobiliza-
ton and reorganization. the former be-
longs chiefly to the government and
the latter devolves mainly upon pri-
vate enterprise. The former tends
steadily toward it's conclusion; the
latter brOadens into the foundation
OF an indefinitely expanding future.
And though the government has, and
will continue to have important re-
spOnsibilities In connection with the
economic reorganization of the nation,
1t must be acknowledged that those
who are to deal with these problems
hand-tO-hand are the directors of bust
ness undertakings.
ut must be recognized, also, that
we have come out upon a new world,
in sense, In emerging from the
world war. Our Industrial and COM
mercial reorganization must be effect
ed under conditions that have under
gone considerable alteration during
the struggle. Not only price levels,
but price ratios also, have been
changed, and in many cases perma-
nently so. New industries have arisen !;
markets have been altered; interna-
tional economic relations are modified /;
means of transportation and communi-
cation have been partially revolution
lied; but nothing has undergone great
er change than our social viewpoint,
and especially the viewpoint of labor.
There are new opportunities and new
and promising outlooks, but they are
not quite like those of pre-war times,
The chessbOard has been shaken; some
of the chessmen have disappeared,
while several others have been moved
forward or backward a little.
"Not only have purely business fac,
tors altered, but new duties have
arisen-the social responsibility Of the
business enterprise has become much
more serious matter than 1t used to
be. In the light of world develop
ments it is obvious that our business
system must prove it's resourceful-
ness; it must demonstrate hitherto
unrevealed capacity for REIMBURSEMENT;
it must show a disposition to meet and
satisfy certain species of expectation
which have gained recognition during
the war and can no longer be uncere-
moniously ignored or suppressed. AS
Secretary Redfield says: We cannot
be a law unto ourselves any more
General and continuous prosperity
must he underwritten and guaranteed,
if our institutions are to avoid the
risk of a trial at the bar of public
discomfort. Rules of thumb are liable
to prove inadequate in this period Of
reimbursement. Nothing short of alert
open-mindedness, reinforced by pos
session of the fullest available infor-
nation, will serve. In view of these
facts the business world is entitled
to the fullest measure of assistance
that governmental agencies are pre-
pared to render it. 1t is in the spirit
of that principle that the files Of the
councils reconstruction research divi-
sion are now thrown open to the bust

to the genial Emporian who has been
a figure in Kansas sport circles for
a number of years.
Bidwell was called the kid mag
nate" in baseball. When he was hard
ly out of short pants he began to man
age baseball teams and was one of the
most successful of free lances." In
1914 Bidwell managed the Emporia
team in the Kansas State league and
he managed a team in the Nebraska
State league for a season or two. But
managing. owning, directing and
financing teams kept him in the lime
light more than anything else. For
several seasons he managed the KAN
sas City Red SoX and one season
when he had this team he kept two
complete teams on the road.
BidwelI's teams played in Topeka
on several occasions and he was well
known here. Among the players
whom he discovered and helped to
send to the big leagues are Otis Lam
beth. who was with Topeka in the
Western league under John Savage,
and Hendrix. of the Chicago Cubs.

st. Louis, May 16.-J. Willis Baer
Pasadena, Cal, banker, was elected
moderator at the 131st general as
sembly of the Presbyterian church in
the United States in session here late
Thursday. This is the first time in
history layman was chosen as the
highest officer of the church. Mr..
Baer's opponent was the Rev. DR.. S.
Hall Young. an Alaskan missionary.
Mr.. Baer was the only layman
nominated, the Rev. Alexander Mac
Coll, of Philadelphia; the Rev. Robert
Johnston, of Montreal, Canada, and
the Rev. Calvin Hays. of Johnstown.
Pa, also were nominated, but with
drew from the race in favor of the
other two candidates.
William Jennings Bryan, who had
been spoken CT frequently as a pos
sible contestant, did not arrive in St.
Louis until after the election. This
precluded him from becoming a can
dpidate, as the assembly has never
chosen a moderator who was not on
the floor at the time of the election.

ARE "CANNED" KICKS
German Protests Written Before the
Treaty Received. Allies Believe.

Paris. May 16.-The conviction is
growing in allied circles that most of
the German protests against the peace
treaty so far received were written
before the reading of the treaty and
are designed as propaganda. This
conviction is Strengthened by the fact
that the text of the treaty is not
quoted and that the protests have been
published in Berlin before they were
received in Paris. The conference,
however. is referring all protests to
commissions, which will consider
them on their merits.

Each Holder Who Drops His Liberty Loan Sets Up New

Liberty Bonds. the bonds of tn.
 United States which will be forever
 famous because of the way in which
 they won the war for us, are today most important in what they will dc toward establishing peace
 They stand aS great monument of the support given by the people to the Government in time of a crisis.
 Everyone who shares in the building or th1s monument should do his best to keep it unimpaired, unmarred. the tower of strength to the nation. It is injured when bond holder sells his liberty bond for 8 slight or negative reason.
 The Government has kept faith on the bonds with the people It was stated that there should be an op- portunity to dispose of bonds if it was absolutely necessary for holders 10 get the money, and an open market on the stock exchanges has been main tsined for this purpose.
 It was possible that the Government might have followed the example of Canada and directed that the market should be closed. that bonds once bought must be kept until they were due.
 There was no contract to supply q market. but the promise was implied in the offerings and the faith has been kept

 It is backing the Government to the finish in the war loan that crystallizes peace and prosperity.
The Press., 1919-03-06

To care for them in these months that intervene, to demobilize the mil lions with due care, to give them back to the ways of peace at home is the work of the Fifth Loan.
 If any men in the world have earned for their own country the right to return to peace pursuits, well equipped and sbundantly provided, they are the American overseas forces.
 Peace has its opportunities no less than war. Those who share in the Fifth Liberty Loan get not only an investment, unsurpassed anywhere in the world. but they buy the bonds which cIinch the greatest peace. They see to 1t that the fighters who have won the peace for them are denied nothing as they return to their homes.
 The soldiers were prepared for any thinx they had to face in France. The men at home who are at peace because of the soldiers will prepare at once to take literally of the Fifth Liberty Loan.

SEEMS GOOD BUSINESS IDEA
Proposed Commercial Register for Hoi. land Has Powerful Support In
 Industrial Circles.

A law to establish a commercial reg
 ister in Holland has been introduced in
 the states general, according to a dis
 patch from F. l.. Edwards, conner
 cial attache of The Hague. 1t is re-
 ported to have the support of@Wem-
 bers of the government, of hiaf1egal
 critics and of important business in-
 terests generally. This is said to be
 the continuation of movement started 20 years ago for the passage of such
 law.
 One of the most important features of the proposed law is that it forbids the use of precisely the same name by more than one concern within given districts, it also provides that in each given district there shall be maintained a public register in which would be given the name, age and domicile of each member of firm, as we'll as the extent to which each one might be held legally liable for Its obligations. It also would make illegal | the use of a deceptive title, including such words, for instance, as broth ers," land company" or 'and sons, '' where the owner is only one person. i From the proposed commercial reg ister stranger would be able to as- certain the name and residence o1 holders of not fully paid up shares, and the full particulars as to the na- tionality, residence, etc.,, of managers | directors and other officers of cOrpor. ! atiOns and associations. There would also be particulars as to former bank
 ruptcies of persons or concerns IT l question. The present law already pro vides for publication of many of these 1 details, but they are only to be found
 in such scattered places that in prac
 tice they are not available to the gen l eral public. X X
