WENT TO ARREST
MEN AT ABINGDON;
ONE DISAPPEARED
Moline Special service.)

When two police officers arrived
yesterday. at Abingdon to take back
with them George Flagg and Ross
Curtiss. of Highland addition, Mo
line, on charges of larceny, they
found that Flagg had disappeared.
Curtiss, however, was brought to
this city and is now a prisoner in
the city jail
The charge of larceny against
both of the men is preferred by
Aschiel Feys. The marshal of Alb
ingdon notified Moline police Thurs
day afternoon that Curtiss and
Flagg were under arrest. Circum-
stances show, it appears, that the
village constable had merely re-
quested the two men to appear
when the Moline police called.
Flagg didn't; Curtiss was there.
Curtiss denies stealing $50 in
cash and a gun from a room in
Feys' house on Twenty-third ave-
nue. and Twenty-fifth street. Mag
istrate Gustafson continued the
case until Monday.

AN APPEAL TO THE HOUSE

Attorncy-Gencra Palmer, who has
been wrestling with problems of high
prices of food to little practical eff
feet, has at last turned his eyes
toward the kitchens and cook rooms
of the nation. After months Of i'm.
designations of various large manu-
facturcrs his appeal to the house
wives is a practical failure TO bring
down the cost of living. The trouble
and its cure is in the homes of the
people, and in the cook rooms of the
homes.
a number of us have held this
view all the time SO long rs we buy
eNtravcgantly high priced goods, so
long will prices remain high. of

wont buy. The women do % per
cent of the buying. The men, 100 per
cent of the paying. The effect of
Kitchen economy" was seen during
the war, and the women verified the
contention that they can and do, de

store accounts. Hence Mr.. Palmers
appeal. The slogan is now just what
1t has been all thr time, Economy
and thrift" Produce more and spend
less, and prices will tumble.
Somebody has suggested that an
appeal should be made to the mcr-
chants, that they buy only the cheap
