HUNTSVILLE

Huntsville, April 2.-(Special)-A car load of Madison county hogs, the first cooperative shipment ever sent out of Huntsville to another market, was shipped to Nashville last night in ac- cordance with plans recently adopted by the new farmers shipping organization. The hogs were sold to c. J. Akin of Nashville, who paid s1S.25 per hundred weight based on No. 1 grade. This is estimated to have been 6 cents per pound higher than the hog raisers have been receiving and is said to have been the highest price ever paid for Alabama- grown hogs. The value of the 112 head loaded in the car was approximately $3000.

Sugar Market

New York, April 2.-The local market for raw sugar was unchanged at 7.2Sc for centrifugal to the refiner. The board reported no additional purchases today, although recently some pretty large pur- chases have been made by the board and shipments from Cuba during April are expected to be quite large
 In refined sugar the demand is still limited to nearby requirements so that refiners are all able to make pretty prompt shipment.
 Prices are unchanged on the basis of Sc for fine granulated.

SHAVING CREAM
BEST FOR ANY
MANS FACE
Sanitary, Antiseptic, Highly
Medicated-Keeps Skin
In Perfect Shape.
PREVENTS IRRITATION
INFECTION-SKIN TROUBLE

It's altogether too much trouble for
the man who shavcs to lather up-rub
and rub to soften up the beard-and
TO daUb lot Of cream, or liquids or
powders on the face-yet there's lots
OF little nicks-pimples, irritated
spots that need care, get tender, sore
and reddish looking.
Here's the Ideal Way.
DR.. Bunting solved il all. He first
perfected a non-greasy skin cream
that was highly mediCated-cures up
skin troubles in a jiffy-antiseptic
etc.-then he labored on and got the
perfect shaving cream. The answer
is-you can buy a tube Of antiseptic,
cooling, soothing, healing NoXzema
Shaving Cream that is nOn-drying
non-smarting and doesn't have TO be
rubbed in. II melts the toughest
beard in just a couple seconds. Eco
nomical too. A 35c tube lasts months.
And ah, man. When the old razor
gIides over the face you'll be ticlIled
at the soft, velvcty, condition your
skin is left in-EO smaTting, irrita-
ton infection-heals and sOothes-
like magic-keeps face in pink of con-
dition no matter how often you shave.

THRACE FOR GREECE
URGED BY MOSES

II President Wilson insists on
boundary line determination along
purely racial lines. Greece will be
awarded all Of Thrace, Senator George
Il Moses of New Hampshire told the
delegates Of the Friends Of Greece
last night Congressman DalIinger,
L.uGkin, and Davey also spoke, and de-
Jared American sentiment was in
favor of the awarding Of Thrace to
Greece.
Ask Only Their Own Land.
1--WE ask for the Greek people" said
Senator Moses, "only for those lands
where Greek blood has been shed and
where Greek blood is still prepon-
derant. We ask only for those lands
where Greek ingenuity and Greek en-
terprise have made the Greek name
famous; and we rebel at every sug
gestion that that beastly nation Of
Slavic origin shall take from the
Greeks that which is rightfully
theirs"
One Of the interesting features Of
last nights meeting of the 200 Greek
delegates from all parts of the United
States was the appearance of ex-Sergt
Hercules Korgis. whose deeds OF valor
rival those attributed to Sergeant
York. The story. goes that Sergeant
Korgis was wounded in battle and
later captured by the Germans. While
having his wounds dressed, possess
ing a speaking knowledge of German,
he began to talk with his captors. tell
ing them that the Americans had sur
rounded them, and that if they did not
give themselves up as his prisoner,
machine guns would NOW them down
Brings in ESQ Prisoners.
The result was that not long after
Sergeant Korgis came to the American
lines bringing 25G "Heinies," with
their machine guns, officers. and am
munitiOn, turning them over to his
officer, and reporting that il there
were any more little things like that
to do he would strive to please.
A meeting with the President, at
which a committee of the convention
will lay before Mr.. Wilson their plea
for the return Of Thrace to Greece.
with the exception OF Constanti-
nopIe, probably will be arranged for
this afternoon.

CONVOY MEN CROSS
UTAHDESERT WASTE

oRR'S RANCH, Utah, Aug. 22-
Leaving Orr's Ranch, the last stop In
Utah, the motor transport corps
transcontinental convoy faced this
morning the most formidable section
Of road encountered on the entire
trip.
This Is the passage through the
desolate mountain desert which be-
gins near the Utah-Nevada line, ana
stretches for 125 miles, sinister, menR
acing, a place OF alkali sands, purple
sage, mirages and glimmering heat
phantoms. with the rim hedged by
saw-toothed and hat-topped heights,
which change position, color and
form in the blfstering sun.

are the leaders in any other nation
wide campaign. The rest Of the COUn-
try has learned to follow movements
started in Washington and New York.
The trouble, to a certain extent,
lies in the fact that certain persons
try to improve their own condition
without regard to the condition Of
others. 1t naturally follows that the
others must fight for themselves to
Improve their own conditions.
Higher wages mean higher prices.
and as a result the people find them
selves chasing themselves. The Amer
lean people will get nowhere by con-
tinuing to follow such a plan. In
creases in prices cannot continue In
definitely. The time must come when
this vicious circle must stop. The
time will come when the American
people must get together and look
out for the interest of all and ho.L
the line until conditions become nor
NAL"
The Attorney General was Of tho
opinion that conditions would become
normal when all the men who served
in the army were back at their former
occupations.
Wants Production Increased.
Mr.. Palmer said he beIived that
many persons in Washington, includ-
ing Government clerks, store clerks
and many others, were really suffering
because of high prices, as their sala-
ries have not advanced cOmmensuraL g.
with the increases in the cost Of com
modities.
The best thing we can do to heio
relieve the situation" he said 'is to
help increase production, and lesser
the demand. Let your customers
know that economy in purchasing :
just as desirable now as it was during
the war. When the people economize
by purchasing less, the supply viii
gradually catch up with the demand.
The fair food dealers of Washington
will not lose by a decrease in the
price Of food. Washington food deal
ers will still be getting their fair
margin of profit, and the prohteers
alone will be affected by a decrease
in prices. and the profteers are the
people we are after"
Boosted BY Spectators.
THE people of Washington" Mr..
Wilson explained, feel they cannot
buy food as formerly with the wages
they are receiving. They do not wish
to deny the food dealer a fair mar
gin of profit on his goods but they
do object to being made the target Of
prohteers. Prices, II is admitted,
have been increased somewhat by
in Europe, which has
caused an increase in the demand for
American food. But, on the other
hand, prices have also been boosted
by spectators and profiteers. With
the aid Of the loyal dealers we are
going to expose these spectators and
profiteers"
Following the meeting, Mr.. Wilson
said an effort would be made TO issue
the first fair margin Of profits list
some time next week. 1t is expected
that the Bureau Of Markets will be
asked to revive its wartime plan of
Issuing fair price lists on market

500 DEALERS
JOIN FIGHT ON
PROFITEERING

The first definite step in the Dis
trict against food profiteering was
taken last night when 600 Washing
ton food dealers met with Attorney
General Palmer and Clarence r. VIII
son, former food administrator of the
District, and pledged themselves to
cooperate with authorities in the
fight against profiteering in food in
Washington.
Clarence r. Wilson outlined the
plan, which was drawn up by the
fair price committee, as follows:
Issuance of a list setting forth
fair margin Of profits on fOOdstuffs
to be observed by all dealers in the
association, the fair margin OF profits
list to be compiled by the fair price
committee, composed of consumers,
retailers and wholesalers.
Wilson Explains Plan.
Mr.. Wilson explained that the
basis for the present fair margin of
profits would be the fair margin OF
profits indicated on the fair-price
lists issued by the District Food Ad-
ministration during the war. 1t was
also explained that the first list would
not include fair margins on meats
and perishabIe foodstuffs. but that
the list on these articles would be
compiled later.
Attorney General Palmer was loud
ly and frequently applauded by the
600 food dealers and the scores Of
consumers who were interested list
eners.
Probably 90 out Of 100 fo5d deal
ers in the National Capital" the At
torney General said, "can be listed as
fair-price dealers. These ninety

food dealers must not get the idea
that the retailers are the sole object
Of attack in the fight against profit
eering. The fight was not started by
the Department OF Justice against the
retailer, but against five Chicago
packers. Indications are that these
packers will be brought to book.
The Department of Justice means to
make an example Of profteers to
protect both the consumers and the
regulations Of the fair food dealers.

Do the Big Five" Control

The Washington times., 1919-08-22

There is offered to the
Senate a biIl-the So
called Kenyon Bil"-
which purposes to regu-
late and control the meat
packing industry.
It is a radical biIl-an

will mean practical gov

Hy-in which voters have
a deep personal concern.
Therefore it is irnpor-

upon which this bill was
based.
In the interest of &C
curacy and fairness these
exhibits are offered.
The membership of this
institute includes well
over a hundred meat
