President Wilson Will Ap.
peal to CONGRESS-.
BATTLE TO CONTINUE TILL
REMEDY Is IN FORCE
Agents of Department of Justice
To Garry Out Orders Of Attor-
ney General-Prosecutions To Be
Made Under Wartime Law.

The following news dispatch is
taken from this mornings Denver
Post:
Washington, Aug. 6.-President
Wilson will address congress in
person Friday to make recommen-
dations for legislation designed to
aid in reducing the cost OF living.
This was learned Wednesday at
the White House.
Agents of the department OF JUS
tiee throughout the country We'd
nesday are at work to carry out the
order of the attorney general that
profiteers and hoarders of food and
other necessities be tracked down
and prosecuted under the Lever
food control act.
In the meanwhile the drive upon
the profiteer was to be waged un-
relentingly under the laws that
now exist and flour was to be put
on the market at $40 a barrel-$l
less than the prevailing price
through the medium of the United
States grain corporation.
The announcement of Attorney
Generay Palmer that the Lever war
time food control act was being in
voked to bring to justice those
who have been reaping extOrionate
profits from the consuming public
was expected to have q marked ef-
feet. Already there was evidence
that the governments campaign
was being felt and that there
would be break for cover by
those whom the law would reach
was expected.
There was no indication Wednes-
day as to the additional laws the
president will request. They are
to be based directly upon the data
which has been submitted to him
by Attorney General Palmer as
chairman of the special cabinet
committee investigating the high
cost of living, its causes and its
probable remedies.
Although it was anticipated
that now it is apparent that Presi-
dent Wilson and his advisers mean
business there might be a notice
able reduction in prices all along
the line, it was stated emphatlcal-
ly in official circles Wednesday that
this would have no effect upon the
program. Any attempt to call
off the dogs by throwing them
meat" officials said, would be met,
if anything, with redoubled action
to bring about permanent benefits.

Kansas Peace Officer Mys.
teriously Disappears.
LEFT BIZ AUTOMOBILE MORE
THAN THREE WEEKS AGO
Rumors Last Week That He Had
With Him $1,000 and That a
Woman Of Syracuse Left About
The Same Time.

Lie lOlioWIlS StOis is tahCll iioIli
last weeks Syracuse, (Kan.l Jour
nal:
On Wednesday, July 8, Sheriff
A. c. Kibler left in his car and in
the intervening three weeks his
family and business associates
have not heard from him and all
efforts to get trace of him have
failed. His family and friends
have been very much worried dur
ing the past week over his pro
longed absence.
Under Sheriff John l.. McCarter
is as much in the dark as every
one else as Mr.. Kibler promised to
return by the following Saturday
or write and in the absence of any
word whatever Mr.. McCarter is at
a total loss for any explanation of
Mr. Kibler's whereabouts.
Mr. }. w. Shirley, who occupies
an office room with Sheriff Kibler,
saw him make preparations for
leaving on the journey and it was
evident to Mr.. Shirley that the
sheriff was going prepared to bring
back prisoner but he is as much
in the dark as to his mission as
are the rest of his friends.
In the meantime Mr.. McCarter
is looking after the business of
the office as best he can but finds
himself handicapped because of
lack of certain necessary papers
and information that he should
have to conduct sheriff's sales and
carry on the routine duties of the
office. All this would indicate that
Mr.. Kibler had no thought of re-
manning away more than three
days, and the fact that he has not
communicated with any one since
he left causes alarm to be enter
tained for his safety.
Some suspect that the sheriff
has gone in search of Don Van
Wormer, a fugitive from justice,
who was convicted of the murder
of Sheriff Wilson of Morton coun-
ty. After the trial and conviction,
which was held here in Syracuse,
Van Wormer took an appeal to
the supreme court and was re-
leased ON $25,000 bond. Later
when the supreme court affirmed
the decision of the district court
Van Wormer could not be found
and his bond was declared forfeit
ed, but the convicted man has not
been apprehended Sheriff Kibler
is legally the officer who should
deliver Van Wormer at the peni-
tentiary and this leads to the
theory that he is on an extended
man hunt. Van WOrmer is des-
perate man and if the two men
should meet it might resolve it.
self into question as to which of
them could shoot the quickest and
if this meeting place should be in
a secluded place and the sheriff
should be the victim it might be a
long time before his disappearance
could be accounted for.
Sheriff Kibler left his private
business affairs unsettled and
everything would indicate that he
will return if possible.
He took great pride in his Of
ficial position and had served only
seven months of his two year
term.

FIRST AMERICAN DIVISION
OF SPLENDID APPEARANCE
This is General Pershing's Esti-
nation Of Organization-Corp.
Pierce . Member.

In view of the many interesting
letters published in The Chieftain
from Corporal Wayne Pierce during
the past few months the following
letter from General Pershing to
Major General McGlachlin COM
manding the first division of the
expeditiOnary forces in France will
be of interest to Chieftain readers
also. Corporal Pierce, son of our
esteemed citizen j. A. Pierce, is a
member of the First Division. Gen
sral Pershing says in his letter of
March 2Sth, of the present year:
My dear General McGlachlin: To
the officers and men of the First
Division, l wish to express my
compliments upon their excellent
appearance at the inspection and
review on March 14th at Monta-
bauer. The high morale of all the
ranks and the condition of the
artillery and transportation were
what one might expect to find in
u command with such a splendid
fighting record. The First Divis
ion has the distinction of having
been the first combStant unit to
arrive in France and the first to
enter the fighting line. From that
time until the present its work has
been marked by high state of ex-
cellence and efficiency.
After serving in the Sommerviller
and Ansauville Sectors the division
entered the line near Montdidier,
and on May 2Sth took Cantigny.
This attack may be considered as
the beginning of American offensive
operations, and it's success had
much to do with the creation of the
splendid spirit thereafter displayed
by American troops. In the Aisne-
Marine offensive, the division par
ticipated in some of the most des-
perate fighting of the entire war,
and helped to insure the success of
the Allied attack. During the
early part of August the division
moved to the Saizerais sector, and
shortly after took part in the ST.
Mihiel operation, making deep
advance through the Rupt de
Madt across the Vigneullers,St.
Benoid road to Hatton-Chattel In
the Meuse-Argonne battle the divi-
sion was twice thrown into the
line, on October 1st, at which time
it pushed forward in spite of
heavy resistance, and on November
5th, when, after a march of 20 kilo-
meters to reach the jumping-off
line. it attacked the enemy and
marched on Sedan.
Since the signing of the armistce
the 1st Division, as part of the
Army of Occupation, has had the
honor of safeguarding the results
of its victories, and for it's conduct
in this work have only praise and
commentator. In view of the
above record, each man in the divi-
sion should feel an especial pride
i n its accomplishments, and l
want all ranks to know of my ap-
probation of the achievements
which stand to their credit, and Of
the admiration in which they are
held by their fellows throughout
the American Expeditionary Forces
Sincerely yours,
JOHN j. PERSHING.

URGES SANCTION
OF FIXED PRICES.
Trade Commission Backs
Bill to Protect Standard
Resale Rates.

Legislation enabling manufacturers
to fix and maintain resale prices of
identified goods. subject to review by
a disinterested agency designated by
Congress now pending. Is urged by
the Federal Trade Commission in a
special report to Congress.
This legislation is covered in the
Stephens standard price bill as
amended. The commission says that
the conditions surrounding the fixing
and enforcement of the maintenance
OF resale prices have not materially
changed since a similar recommended
ton was made last December, In
spite Of the Supreme Courts decision
in the Colgate case
The Supreme Court has made II
clear that in the present state of the
law" says commission, the main
tenance of a resale price by the pro-
ducer is a restraint of trade and Is
unlawful.
Such being the Judgment of the
Supreme Court, the Federal Trade
Commission has enforced the law
even though it may have appeared
to operate inequitabiy in some
cases. In its enforcement of this
mindful that the cutting Of q rec
ognized resale price on well estab-
lished and identified articles has
been. at times, INDUCED in for I'M
fair trade purposes. When so I'M
fairly used. such price cutting is
attempted to be cloaked as lawful
competition and justified by SUI
preme court decisions.
Thus, both price maintenance
and price cutting under certain con-
ditions are found to be unfair and
business men are perplexed. The
legislation recommended would seem
to be in accord with the spirit OF
the times in that II is designed by
removing this perpiexity. to pro-
mote the efficiency of manufactur-
ing and commercial institutions
and so to serve the interest OF the
consuming public
