PRICE CHECK ORDERED

Attorney General Palmer has
started out to ascertain how much
of the high cost Of living is due to
excessive profits by retailers.
In telegram to all state food
administrators who worked with Adj
ministrator Hoover during the war
he Attorney General requested the
appointment Of a fair price com
mittee in each county to investigate
what is being charged for retail ne
necessities and if in excess of what
the committee considers just, to pub
lish list of fair prices for the guild
ance of the public.
This is the extra legal means of
'caching profiteering which Mr.. Pal
ner recently indicted was under con-
sideration. He has frankly admitted
from the start that there was no
means to prosecute directly a man
nifty Of extortion in prices. Re-
tailers who are gouging the ultimate
consumer will have to be disciplined
public sentiment. which officials
have no doubt is sufficiently alert to
he situation now to act vigorously
in clear cut cases. Hoarders, on the
other hand, can be reached through
the wartime food laws or the Fish
erman Act, and Mr.. Palmer request
ed the State Food Administrators TO
transmit to him any evidence Of
BOARDING or other violations of the
NV which they might encounter n
heir work, with the promise that the
governments law enforcement ma
hinery would act promptly.
"There is a pressing necessity
for the restoration of normal condi-
TONS" Mr.. Palmer's telegram said,
'equesting the men who did such eff
ective work during. the war to take
up the burden again. They were ask
ed to serve without compensation, the
Attorney General believing that the
public service to be performed now
: as important as when the country
was engaged in hostilities, and that
no patriotic citizen would refuse The
call to .luty.

BUREAU FOR PROTECTION
OF AMERICAN COMMERCE

Everybody is interested in the dew
elopment of export trade. The cor
ner grocer who never expects to sell
nickel's worth of goods in China
is interested. The preacher, the
lawyer, the doctor, in fact, every
person in every profession or bust
ness, is interested, because all will
profit.
When a dollar comes to the Uni
ted States from another country, it
flcws into Commerce and helps ev-
erybody.
But, says statement just issued
by the Associated Advertising Clubs
of the World, immediate action must
be taken for the protection Of trade
across the seas. This Association is
organizing bureau for the protec-
tion of the reputation of American
firms and American goods i'm other
countries, the chief business of
which will be to stamp fraud out of
the advertising of American firms,
which try to put something over" in
foreign fields.
Experience has shown" says
Merle Sidener, chairman of the Ma
tional Vigilance Committee of the
advertising clubs, "that the man in
a foreign country who buys our
goods does not have even as good a
chance to discriminate as people in
this country, for, without knowledge
of the standing of the firms, one ad-
advertisement looks very much like
another.

WORK AND SAVE
REMEDY FOR HIGH PRICES

'To work and to save' is the REM
edy for the increasing cost of living
pointed out by the Federal Reserve
Board.
In reply to an inquiry from the
Senate Banking Committee, asking
if it was advisable to attempt con-
traction Of currency by legislation
in the hope of reducing prices, Gov
.ernor Harding wrote Chairman Nc
lean that the growth in the volume
of circulating notes was the effect
and not the cause Of advancing wag-.
es and prices and that the war period
of finance would not be over until
government obligations, now carried
by the banks, were absorbed through
the actual savings of the people.
Strong censure of strikes and ex-
travagance was implied in Mr.. Hard
ing's letter, which did not, however,
undertake to blame any one section
Of the population, but referred to the
nation as whole, especially to the
relaxation, of economics practiced
during the war and the purchase
now of non essential articles by per-
sons enjoying large incomes for the
first time.
"The Federal Reserves Board be-
leves that any currency legislation
at this time is unnecessary and I'M
desirable" Mr.. Harding wrote, "and
would suggest that whether viewed
from an economic or financial stand
point, the remedy for the present
situation is the same, namely, to
work and to save; to work regularly
and efficiently, in order to produce
md distribute the largest possible
volume of commodities; and to ex-
ercise reasonable economies in or
Ter that money, goods and services
may be devoted primarily to the
;nuidation of debt and to the sat
isfaction of the demand for neces-
sites, rather than to indulge in ex-
travaeances or the qualification of
I, desire for Injuries.
"The war is over-in a military
ense-and while the bills have been
ettled by loans to the government,
'hese obligations. so far as they are
carried bv the banks, must be alb
orbed before the war chapter of the
financial history Of the country can
be closed"
Money in circulation actually has
,hown a decline since the postwar
period set in, Mr.. Harding said.
The total on December 1, 1918, was
SIS, 129, 9S5,000, a per capita circula-
ton of $48. 3,which was reduced to
"a, 79G, 100000 and $45.16 on the
first of this month. The figures on
April 1, 1917, were $4,100,976,000
and $37.S8.
In considering the increased cir
culation, the committee was told.
there should be considered the fac
tors demanding more currency, such
as the enlargement of pay rolls as
to the number of workers and the
wages paid, the effect on proper
ity on the amount of money carried
by individuals, the increased
amounts locked up by highly paid
workmen ignorant Of banking meth
DDS, money carried out of the coun-
try by aliens returning to Europe,
and prosperity in the Philippines,

American countries where United
States money circulates freely. For

currency was estimated at $3.50, 000,-

sorrow that our people learned OF the
death of Mrs. Karl Kraatz, which oc-
Cured Monday morning, March 3D.,
1919, at the home, lob Sixth street.
Mrs. Kraatz had been ill only one
week with influenza, which developed
into pneumonia; her relatives and
intimate friends had been very
anxious the last few days as her con-
dition had been considered serious, but
all felt that youth and a robust consti-
tuition would carry her over the crisis.
The untimely passing of this beautiful
life from our midst has caused uni
versal mourning in our city.

est and devoted member. She was an
untiring worker in the Sunday school,
and last year became it's superintend-
ent, the children loved her and never
tired of singing her praises. At the
time of her death she was assistant
superintendent.
On the 18th day of July, 1915, de-
ceased was united in marriage with Mr.
Karl Kraatz by whom she is survived
and also one son, Fred Corwith Kraatz.

Argonne front, date of Sept. 26th, 1918.
On Sept. 26th, while advancing, going

your son was hit by a machine gun
bullet and died instantly. 1 know it
was hard for you to learn of. the
passing of one who was so dear to you
All of us who knew him regret that
he had to make the supreme sacrifice,
yet he died a hero on the field of bat
tie, fighting for his country.
1t is to him and to those like him
that we owe the victory we have
gained, and while we mourn his pass
ing we cannot but rejoice that America
gave to this war such a man as he.
He gave all he had and all we can do
is to pledge ourselves to make the
victory he secured for us permanent
and worth while. l hope that this
information may be what you desire.
Sincerely yours,
