 "T am not at the Battalion head quarters any more. 1 am back to my own company again and that is the reason I did not get your letter sooner.
 Well, dear friend, it's all over now. We sure did get the kaiser's goat, and he hasn't rope left to hang himself with. Our boys at the front now are singing the Watch on the Rhine
 Everything is still going on with the work just the same, no stacking up as yet, although we celebrated Nov 11th, and Thanksgiving and today, which is Christmas"
 The writer tells about Christmas eats and continues: But, dear friend, Christmas to Us so far away from home, is not like the real Christmas, and we are all sure we are gQiog to eat turkey in 1919 back home in the good old U.

 Seward, Alaska, has sent out an urgent call for dentist. All the dentists of that city enlisted in eith- CT the Army or Navy and none has yet returned, so that the population of Seward has gone without the ser vices of dentist since last October

High Prices and Legislation
by DIR FRANK CRANE
Copyright 1919. BY Frank crane)

tainly on million people, on a nation, as
it does on an individual. We are all making
more money. Laborers that got SO a day
are now getting So.
That is one of the causes of high prices.
The other is that we are not producing
as we should. Every strike helps to boost
prices. because it stops production. 1t
stands to reason that the less goods manu-
featured, the more they cost.
The Labor Unions and the Trusts go hand
in hand when they limit production.
And the more they fight each other
the higher the prices soar. The wretched
unorganized Public pays the piper.
For the Public has no organization except
the Political Parties, which are both dis
honest and incompetent, and push the worst
type of mischief makers to the front.
The Labor Unions, one army, and the
Trusts, another. both out for loot, are hav-
ing the time of their lives while the Public,
instead of getting together and organizing
for the Common Good. divides into two
hostile Parties, who feed us upon the East
Wind
What to do?
Abandon the Political Party idea. Go
back to the American plan of government
as indicated in the Constitution. Organize
every City, County. State and the Nation
on the Community Plan. Cooperate Quit
fighting. Produce. Quit regulating. Behave
And let natural laws alone.

There are laws that are deeper than laws

There are laws that are deeper than laws.
The acts of congress cannot change the
laws of nature.
The hullabaloo about regulating prices is
well meant but absurd. Because prices reg
ulate themselves.
The only reason the American people are
paying 60 cents a pound for bacon, $12
for silk shirts, and SIS for shoes, is be-
cause they want to. If they didn't want to,
and refused to pay these robber prices. the
storekeepers would mark down their goods
In the whirl of hysteria we have got

Jail. If any man has unjustly, selfishly,
and illegally wronged the public he ought
to be punished.
But the profiteers are n drop in the
bucket To attempt to stay the movement
toward higher prices by legislation, or by
prosecutions, is like Mrs. Darlington trying
with her broom to sweep back the advancing
tide.
When your salary is raised from 81 1000
to $4,000 n year, you don't go on living
on $1,000 and save the other $1,000; on
