U. S. FOOD PROBE MAY
BRING GOOD RESULTS
Many Prosecutions Are Expected, as
People Demand It Now-Congress
Will Act Promptly.

Washington, D. C.-Tangible results
from the investigation of boarding and
profiteering enitiated by Attorney
General Palmer are expected to de-

result of recent order directing the
entire secret service Of the bureau
of investigation to assist the forces
now at work trying to uncover in
stances in which the public has been
gouged by the illegal control of prices.
Officials of the department of JUS
tice said reports from many sections
of the country show the search for ev.
idence of extortion in the necessities
of life is proceeding vigorously, and it
indicated that many prosecutions may
come soon.
Announcement also is made that
congress will proceed promptly with
legislative measures recommended by
President Wilson as necessary to stoI

been largely responsible for the rising
cost of living.

AUSTRIA DECLARES TERMS
ARE TOO SEVERE FOR THEM
Sends a Note to Peace Conference
Pleading for More LenIent Treat
ment-Wants Debt Divided.

Copenhagen.-A summary of the
Austrian note presented to the allied
peace mission at st. German, France,
Aug. 8. has been received here from
Vienna.
'If German-Austria's territorial de-
mands are fulfilled to the minimum
extent maintained for in the appendix
to the note," says the summary, Ger
man-Austria will make efforts to be-
lieve she can live Independently and
in peace in this territory. She ex-
poets the league of nations will hear
her in her hour of distress.
"On the other hand, German-Aus-
tria still is firmly convinced that the
economic burdens imposed upon her
by the peace treaty cannot really be
carried out and that if they are not
substantially lightened she is bound
to collapse.
Children Are Perishing.
ut will be impossible for the next
few months to deliver milking cows
and cattle, and German-Austria's chill
dren are perishing for lack of meat
and milk. German-Austria must allow
herself to be placed under the entente
powers financial control, but she ex.
poets the reparation committee will
act with the consideration demanded
by her desperate position and grant
the necessary credits to obtain raw
materials and foodstuffs."
The note urges amendment with q
view to investigating commission
with plenary powers, regarding all eco
nomic and financial peace conditions
1t then argues regarding "the unjus
and unequal division Of old Austria''
debts among the states which succeed
ed it and the injustice of stipulation!
regarding war loans.''

continues, that all states in wha
was formerly Austria Hungary shoul

Apart from the bank debt, clauses il
the peace treaty show burden O
debt for German-Austria of some 40
OOO, 100000 marks. Thus two-third

Grain Corporation Director Refuses All
Foreign contracts-Our Own

Portland, Ore.-Wheat growers of
the Pacific northwest are warned not
to hold their grain for higher prices,
for not only will the government not
pay any premium whatever over the
established price until supplies become
too great and terminals are cOngested,
but holders are likely to run afoul of
the federal authorities for profiteer-
ing.
Very little wheat of the new crop
is being marketed in the Pacific north
west, according to Max Houser, second
vice president of the grain corpora
ton. Mr.. Houser announces that the
United States Grain corporation will
add no storage premiums to the basic
prices in it's buying scale for the pres
emit, nor until there accumulates in the
grain corporations hands a sufficient
reserve of wheat to assure a measure
of protection for future home require
mentS.
"In accordance with this policy the
wheat director is refusing proffered
contracts which foreign buyers are de.
sirous of making at the grain corpo
ration price level" said Mr.. Houser

to cover their splirements for some
months in advance. Apparently theil
inability to secure supplies in Other
sources of wheat makes them especial
ly urgent in proposing contracts with
the United States, but these contract!
can not be entered into until sui
ficient accumulation of wheat in the
hands of the grain corporation fur
nishes assurance of reasonable prices

These estimates have been prepared

be carried on warrants until the next

"stand in" With Local Editor.

Stand IN win Local Eottor.
1t must be as long as two years
ago that we published an article
which advised retailers to get and
stay on friendly terms with their
local newspaper men, get stories In
the papers constantly, as one Of the

that sort of cooperation, II the mat.
ter you give has a real educational
or news value.
The matter was called to mind this
week by having seen in the Atlantic
Qowa) News-Telegraph an article on
the first page about shoes, the pres
ent situation and the future trend
of prices. 1t happened that the editor
Of this department was in Atlantic
about two weeks ago and while there
had talk with Frank Nebe, promi-
nent shoe retailer of that city, and
in the conversation Mr.. Nebe re-
marked that he was going to write
an article for the local daily explain
ing why the people should not be ex-
pecting a lower price on shoes right
now. The article mentioned above
was the one Mr.. Nebe prepared.
Now, Mr.. Nebe is not only prom
inent shoe retailer of Atlantic, but he
is also secretary and treasurer Of
the Iowa State Retail Shoe Dealers
association, and he has recently re-
turned from the state convention.
OF course, those things have given
him a much better chance to have
his opinions taken with interest, but
we dare say that If he or other mer.
chants would give more Of that soft
of thing to the papers he and they
and the public would all profit more.
Some may say that everything was
ripe for Mr.. Nebe to get such story
published, for him to write some
thing of real interest. That is true.
but that type of man is constantly
finding such opportunities while 9th
ers never seem to have them.
Mr.. Nebe not only got some de-
cidedly worthwhile prestige for him
self and his store, but he actually
gets some educational matter regard

munity that is beneficial to them. to
him and to all other shoe retailers

CONGRESS GETS HIS. VERSION
Threats or Coercion condenned-Wil

Washington, D. C.-President Will
son laid several specific proposals be-
fore congress Aug. for checking the
high cost of living, but at the same
time declared permanent results could
not be expected until peace time ba-
sis were fully restored by ratification
Of the peace treaty.
High prices, the president told con-
gress, were not justified by shortage
of supplies either present or prospect
i've, but were created in many cases
"artificially and deliberately" by wi
cious practices" Retailers, he said.
were responsible in large part for ex-
tortionate prices.
Strikers, the president warned the
labor world, would only make matters
worse and those who sought to employ
threats or coercion were only "prepar-
ing their own destruction"
Make Recommendations.
General recommendation included ::
Increase Of production.
Careful buying by housewives.
Fair dealing with the people on the
part of the producers, middlemen and
merchants.
That there be no threats and undue
insistence upon the interest of sin
gle class.
Correction of many things" in the
relation between capital and labor IL
respect to wages and conditions of la
