NoBoDY LOVES a PRoFITEBR.
moro Surplus Supplies Held by Gov.
ernment May be Released.

Washington, Oct. 17.-Attorney
General Palmer and his official as
sociates in the fight on the high cost
Of living determined to-day to en-
list the aid Of the women of America.
BY appealing to the comptrollers
Of household finances throughout the
country, it is hoped to inaugurate an
epoch Of real economy which will
offset the "buy now" propaganda Of
trades people. Furthermore an at
tempt will be made to discourage
the frequent changes in styles die
tated by the makers Of women's ap-
parel and thereby effect a saving in
clothes.
Another important decision taken
at to-day's meeting was to release
more surplus supplies held by the
government, IL it can be done with
out embarrassment to the depart
rnents involved. Secretary Daniels
reported that he had sugar enough
to run the navy six months, but be-
to be assured Of ample replacements.
Cooperation Of Housewives.
Cooperation Of the housewives
has been the subject Of extended
| conferences between H. 4. Figg, of
| the Department Of Justice, and Mrs.
Edward r. Costigan, who offered the
government the full resources Of the
consumers league and the league Of
women voters in the campaign to
take the initiation out Of prices.
AS q result speakers will be put
soon In every State to carry the mes
sage that one way to beat the prof
| iteers is to ignore propaganda say
ing that prices are certain to go
higher, and wait for the decline
which. officials say, is inevitable.
these speakers will be armed with
facts and figures gathered by the
council Of the national defense in
its war work and showing produc-
tion cost in virtually every industry
| in the country.
Palmer Makes Report.
The first complete official report
far by the use Of such laws as were
available was given to the conference
by Mr.. Palmer, showing that there
| have been sc cases of actual seiZ-
ures under the food control act, with
81 cases still under Investigation.
| three cases have been held for the
grand jury and in two other cases
! Jail sentences and fines have been
| imposed. The seizures have taken
place in Is different States and re-

surpassed for towering hedge any
where, can go in now as well as In
the spring. When planting garden
roses, take plenty Of time however,
and do the Job we'll or you will be
dissatisfied with the results. Dig
the ground deeply and use an abund-
ance Of rotted COW manure under the
plants II you can get 1t. A little
lime, SCOT or old plaster is Of value
in making a rose bed. After the
plants have been set out, elevate the
bed two or three inches, for 1t will
certainly settle more or less. Most
plants set out in the fall need q
little protection, and this Is par
ticularly true Of roses. One Of the
best methods with roses Is to bank
them at least a foot high with earth
If you can throw some manure or
litter over the earth after the ground
freezes, so much the better. This
plan will prevent any heaving Of the
ground and will keep the roses from
being frozen back too far.
With all shrubs you will find 1t
advisable to scatter several inches Of
litter around the base late in the
season. Remember, though, with all
winter protection, whether for
shrubs or perennial plants, the pur-
pose to accomplish Is not to prevent
the cold from getting into the
ground, but to prevent the alternate
freezing and thawing which exposes
the roots to the drying winds and is
almost certain to result in q loss.
