No one can number or know the true
value of his friends until sickness over
takes him. 1t is then, when they COM
mence to drop into his home or inquire
over the telephone of his welfare or to
offer some tender remembrance, that
he can appreciate these attentions.
take this occasion to tender the Masonic
Lodge, Order of Eastern Star. Women's
Relief Corps and half hundred others
who have kept the sick room banked
with flowers our sincere thanks. When
on the 18th nearly hundred postal
cards came drifting into his home it
made US feel that these attentions
were undeserved-so let US again re-
turn our thanks.

The Highway Trailers Win Aagin.

The Highway Trailers Win Aagin.
The Highway Trailer nine and the
Esser Markets OF Madison staged their
second combat of the season at the
Driving Park Sunday with the result
that the Madison aggregation took the
short end of 3 to 2 score. The result
of the first game between these two
teams on May 18th was to 6 in favor
of the locals in IL innings.
The home boys started scoring in
their half of the first. Hefferon, lead
off man, started the inning with sim
gle, Williams helped him along to third
with double, from where he scored
on Trevorrah's sacrifice fly. G. Olson
and G. Whitford were unable to con-
meet safely, retiring the side. In the
second L. Olson led off with single,
L. Whitford helped him to second with
a single, Hermanson famed, Saunders
walked, filling the bases with one down.
Heffernon singled for his second hit,
scoring Olson, and Whitford scored on
Williams facrifice fly. Trevorrah fail
ed to hit safely, ending the rally. After
this inning the locals were unable to
solve Hoven's delivery to any extent
as he held them to two hits after the
second inning. His team mates also
gave him better support and the game
was very hard fought until the last
man was called out.
Hermanson, although handicapped
with an injured thumb, pitched first
class ball, only SO men facing him in
the nine innings. In five Of the frames
the visitors were retired in 1928 order.
Three of the visitors attempted to steal
second base but Hefferon's pegs were
accurate and their efforts were unsuc-
cessful.
The attendance Sunday was not as
large as usual and it is hoped there will
be large turnout next Sunday when
the locals cross bats with the Telling
All Stars of Milwaukee. This ought to
prove fast game and one worth at
tending. Everybody turn out and sup
port the locals. They have shown their
ability to play good ball and deserve
the support of all who are interested in
the national pastime.

TO MAKE FIGHT ON
FOOD PROFITEERS
Attorney General Asks
for Million Dollars for
Expense Fund
VIOLATED THE LAW

Washington.-lmp new deve
opmentS IN the governments fight l.
reduce the high cost of living wei,
announced on Wednesday.
One of the most interesting was the
announcement by Attorney Genera
Palmer that the first federal consie
ton for profiteering has been obtained
District Attorney Lucey telegrapheG
from Binghampton, n. T., that a retail
grocer had been fined $500 for selling
sugar at 10 cents pound. No details
were given, and the law under which
the case was brought was not known
here.
"a few good cases of profiteering in
each state will settle that trouble"
Mr. Palmer remarked.
In order to bring to book persons
guilty of raising prices eXorbitantly
or boarding food to advance prices,
Mr. Palmer submitted to the agricul-
tural committee of congress the draft
of an amendment to the food control
act extending its provisions to cloth
ing and containers Of foods and feeds,
and providing a penalty of $4,000 fine
or two years Imprisonment or both
for violation of the law.
1t is Mr.. Palmer's idea that this
amendment should be considered be-
fore taking up other amendments sug-
gested by President Wilson to extend
the effective life of the food control
act beyond the war period.
Three cabinet officers asked special
appropriations from congress for the
campaign against inflated prices. Sec
rotary Redfield requested $4,000 for
the work of the bureau of standards
in assuring full weight and measure
and of the bureau of fisheries in in
Producing new fish foods. Secretary
Wilson asked for $4T5,000 for the EN-
ployment of special agents and others,
and Mr.. Palmer requested $1,O0O090
for the bureau of investigation and for
the expenses of the state food admin
istrators assisting the department OF
justice.

ner or another, gained access to the
hall, that the struggle for points of
vantage at times approached the stage
of brawl and the few officials en-
trusted with keeping order had the
greatest difficulty in securing even a
semblance of order.
A Dramatic Incident.
The most dramatic moment connect
ed with the signing of world peace
came unexpectedly and spontaneously
at the conclusion of this greatest cere-
mony in history, when Premier Glenn
enceau, President Wilson and Premier
Lloyd George descended from the Hall
Of MIRRORS to the terrace at the rear of
the palace, where thousands of spec
tatOrs were massed.
With the appearance of the three
who have dominated the councils of
he allies, there began most remark
able and unprecedented demonstration.
With cries Of "vive Clemenceau,"
''vive Wilson, give Lloyd George
dense crowds swept forward from all
parts of the spacious terrace.
In an instant the three were sur
rounded by struggling, cheering masses
of people, fighting among themselves
for chance to get near the states
men.
SHUTS Registers Protest.
Three incidents were emphasized by
the smoothness with which the cere-
mony was conducted. The first of
these was the failure of the Chinese
delegation to sign. The second was
the protest submitted by General Jan
Christian SHUTS, who declared the
peace unsatisfactory. The third, I'M
known to the general public, came
from the Germans. When the program
for the ceremony was shown to the
German delegation, Herr Won Hahn
hansen, of the German delegation,
went to Colonel Henri, French liaison
officer, and protested. He said:
"We can not admit that the German
delegates should enter the hall by
different door than the entente dele
gates; nor that military hOnors should
be withheld. Had we known there
would be such arrangements before,
the delegates would not have come"
After conference with the French
foreign minister, it was decided, as a
compromise, to render military honors
as the Germans left. Otherwise the
was not changed.
In his protest General SHUTS de-
clared that there were territorial set
Elements which he believed would need
revision, and that there were guaran- 4
tees provided which he hoped would
soon be found out of harmony with
the new peaceful temper and unarmed
state of the central powers. Punish
ments were also foreshadowed, he
said, over which calmer, mood might
yet prefer to pass the sponge Of OBJ
livion.
