Washington, Aug. 29-New inn petus was given the governments 5 campaign to reduce the cost of living at conferences here today which assured the closest cooperation be- tween federal and state authorities
 Six governors, Gardner, Missouri; Milliken, Maine; Burnquist, Minne- sota; Campbell, Arizona: Sproul, Pennsylvania and Cooper, South Carolina and Lieutenant Governor Mcdowell of Montana, representing the national conference of governors, spent several hours studying the sit nation with Attorney General Palmer and then called at the White House to offer President Wilson the full machinery of the states in the effort to restore normal price level.
 As result, there was greater optimism in the capital tonight over the outlook than has been evident in many days. With the far reach ing state organizations carrying the message of economy and increased production into every county and aid- ing the federal authorities in bring ing to justice hoa rders and profiteers, officials believe excellent results could be obtained in the next 90 days which would avert the menace of transportation strikes to obtain high CT wages.

 1. 'That all the people of
 the nation and al Organizations
 should immediately cooperate
 for the purpose of increasing
 the production of the neces-
 saries of life.
 2. "That economy in
 consumption and care in pur-
 chasing the necessaries of life
 are equally important with
 production, s ag
 3. "That every agency of
 the federal and state govern
 ments should cooperate forth
 with to prevent profiteering.
 The attorney general has given assurance that he will prosecute un- der existing and proposed laws all profiteers. they said.
 The suggestion of the attorney gen. eral that a fair price commission be appointed in each of the states and fair price committee in the different localities of the states, upon the nom- nations of the governors, was en- dorsed.

than the Oldest tombstone IN the

The main stems OF this wonderful
old ivy vine are as thick as a mans
