 TO PEACE BASIS.

Corfu, Jan. 20-Now that the Ser bian government and civilian refu- gees have returned to their native country this little island off the Greek coast, to which they were driven by the Austrian invasion has resumed it's pre-war appearance.
 Across the harbor, however, is solemn and mute evidence of tha terrible misery and privation suffer ed by the Serbian army and popula- ton in their tragic retreat Of 1915. On small, grass covered island. now called by the natives "the island of the dead" are several hastily made cemeteries where are buried thousands of victims, soldiers and civilians alike, who succumbed to starvation and disease in the head long flight of the Serbians three years ago.

At the convention in Atlantic City
a resolution was introduced increas-
ing Mr.. Gompers' salary from $500
to $4,000 per year, and that of Sec
retary Morrison from $4,000 to $500.
Mr. Gompers stated his salary was
sufficient to meet his needs and called
attention to the fact that the enemies
of labor had long used his salary as
an argument to keep men from affili
ating with the movement. However,
when the resolution came up for ac
ton, only one vote was recorded
against it-that of President Com
pers.
In opposing the resolution, Mr..
Gompers said:
"You know that prior to our en-
trance into the war, there was no
man against whom such vicious, un-
warranted attacks were made as there
were made upon me by the enemies
of our movement, who pointed to the

: Carnes Type With History

Harold Silletto, who juggles the

When Harold went down to Char

ago to show Editor H. H. Sturges
how to rid his new linotype of type

going into the service soon MI. Stur-

font that was captured from the Span

war, and gave the little object to him

circled the globe.
Like the cat that came back; when
Harold returned from France, the
type came with him and while he
would be delighted to show it to Mr..
Sturges, he fears the latter would at

AMERICAN LEGION
NOW ORGANIZED
vii be But Short Time Until Every
Man Serving in Army and Navy
Will Become Member
TUESDAY NIGHT AT scHLEsWlG
State Convention Will be Held at Des
Moines September 4th and 9Th
Reduced Railroad Fares Given

The American Legion is getting we'll
organized in Crawford county and it
will be only a question of a short time
before every man who served in army
and navy will become a member of
this important organization. Service
men seem to be taking an active in
terest in the affairs of the legion and
an active campaign is being waged for
new memberships.
On Tuesday evening of last week
the service men of Schleswig and i'm
mediate vicinity met at the Palace the
alter in Schleswig, at which time they
made application for a charter for a
post at that place. A large number
were in attendance at this meeting 1t
is expected that the charter will be
issued within a short time from the
headquarters of the legion in New
York and the post will then be formal
ly organized and officers elected.
The charter for the Manila post has
already been issued and on Friday
evening of this week the post will. be
organized and officers elected and del
egates named to the state convention
which will be held at Des Moines Sep
TENDER 18th and 5th.
Considerable interest is manifest at
Vail where a charter has already been
granted and prior to the state conven-
tion officers and delegates will be
named. .
Denison Post No. s has not as yet
elected delegates to the state conven-
ton, but a meeting will be held the
latter part of the week, at which time
this will be done. The basis of repre-
sentation at the state convention is
two delegates for every post and one
additional delegate for every fifty
memberships or major fraction of fif-
ty. Alternate delegates will be named
to the state convention from each post
and they will be given courtesies at
the convention. A special rate of fare
and one-third has been made for the
round trip to Des Moines for delegates
and alternates to the convention. Most
OF the hotels at Des Moines have made
special rates for legion delegates and
Official legion buttons are now ready

JUSTIFICATION FOR PRICES

Some dealers who are criticised on
the charge of profiteering justify their
prices on the ground that they "can
get it." Apparently they feel it is fair
for them to ask any price that the
public is willing to pay.
AS a correspondent wrote in an
exchange, the man who owned a good
fire engine could get almost any price
for the use of his machine if it was
needed at fire. But that would not
prove that high charge was fair.
The real justification for price is
what it cost to produce and distribute
an article, including moderate re-
turn to the producer and distributor
A great many of the prices now be-
ing charged go far beyond this stand
ard Of comparison. They include
speculative profit. The people are get
ting tired Of enriching spectators.
