to be the "happiest day of his life. -
and DR. Merrill has said that with ad-

Short Services
At the conclusion of the service,
which occupied barely twenty minutes.
the body, accompanied by most of the
party. was removed in a motor car to

was waiting.
The body reposed in a severly plain
casket, placed in the center of the room

EXCESSIVE FOOD IN

Attorney General Indicates That NeW Jersey Is One of the
States; First ConDicton For Profieering

Washington. Aug. l4.-Reports of
excessive stocks of food held IN
storage have been received from at
least six States, Attorney General
Palmer said. He declined to be
more specific, but ii was indicated
that New Jersey was one OF the
States.
one of the most interesting de-
VelOpm entS was the announcement
by Attorney General Palmer that
the first Federal conviction for
prodteering had been obtained. Dis
triCt Attorney Lucey telegraphed
from Binghamton, y. y, that a re-
tail grocer had been fined $500 tor
selling sugar at fifteen cents Il

the law under which the case was
brought was not known here.
a few good cases of profteering

BILE" Mr. Palmer remarked.
In order TO bring to book persons
guilty OF raising prices eXorbitantly
OF boarding food to advance prices,
Mr.. Palmer submitted to the agicu'-
ture committees of Congress tie
draft OF an amendment to the food
control act extending its provisions
to clothing and containers of foods
and feeds and providing a penalty
of $1,000 fine or two years impriS-
onment, or both for violation of the
law. Chairman Haugen. OF the
House committee. announced that
the amendment would be considered
Immediately by a subcommittee and
that a report might be made to-
morrow.
1t is Mr.. Palmer's idea that this
amendment should be considered
before taking up other amendments
suggested by President Wilson tc
extend the effective life of the food
control act beyond the war period
Three Cabinet officers asked spe-
cial appropriations from Congress
for the campaign against inflated
prices. Secretary Redfeld requested
$4,000 for the work of the Bu-
reau of Standards in assuring full
weight and measure and Of the
Bureau of Fisheries in Introducing

asked for $475.00O for the employ

sand striking railway shopmen from
all parts of the country met here to-

President Wilson's demand. 1t is
expected that definite policy in re-

of the international officers of the

urged the strikers to refuse to re-
turn to work, while international

the strike and defer until later the
settlement of their demands for
higher wages.

The party began with the baseball
game between the uptown grocers,
captained by S. y. Schreckengaust.
and the Hill team, led by w. y.

intense playing, the uptown team
emerged victorious, thereby winning

Immediately after the game, the
contests were begun on the ball

enough for about ten of them to he

A study of these figures will show
a very rapid growth during the last
two years. The only exception is
found in the year 1888. In that
year while the enrolment of the whole
school shows an increase of pupils
the high school shows a decrease.
This is due to the fact that many
high school students remained out for
work during the fall because of the
shortage of help due to war condi-
tions In the estimate of the Fresh
man class of 1920 we make no allow
ance for students from the adjoining
districts or for an increase because of
those who become permanent resi-

to say that the students received from
these two sources would easily offset
any loss from students dropping out
