Nuptial Story Is Lacking in Name
 Of Lucky Groom

Linda Elliott, writes from Dayton, Ohio, of her marriage last month, but probably through inadvertence failed to mention the name of the groom, except to refer to him in a vague way as the sergeant" At any rate this nuptial event is the-climax of a Whip pie romance of about two years ago, and while the name of the groom is authorized by a young lady of Pres colt as being a "sure shot" guess, it has been deemed advisable not to draw a definite conclusion as to the lucky buddy by name
 If the winsome bride will just emerge for one minute from her hymeneal trance and send in the name of her gallant sergeant, another we'd ding notice will serve to enlighten her many friends in this city and else where as to her present name.

The Board of Directors of the Yav- apai County Community Association have definitely decided that they will immediately take up the vital work of raising funds, with which to con struct and equip a memorial building in Prescott.
 This building will be tribute to the gallant men of Yavapai County who served their country in the world war. The purpose for which this as sociation was originally formed was this important matter, regardless of fact that for some time the question of putting on a community program has received the time and attention of this committee, at a meeting held at the Yavapai County Chamber of Commerce general assembly room, Monday night, it was the Concensus of opinion of the members of the board that until a suitable building could be had in which the activities which had been outlined by the com munity representative could be prop erly handled, it was almost useless to consider that side of the question As quickly as the campaign is thoroughly outlined active work will be com messed by this organization, with the support of the American Legion.

State Fair Price Commission Issues
Late Rnlletin Swearing Vengeance
on Profiteers and Asks Cooperation
of Retail Merchants and Public.

Secretary d. E. Straiton, Jr., of the
Medina County Fair Price Commission
received a new bulletin from the State
Fair Price Commissioner, this week.
effective at once, which declares the
intention of the commission to pro-
ceed Immediately against any and all
manufacturers and jobbers of market
ing food commodities, shoes, and clo-
thing in this state who attempt to in
crease prices on these necessities until
such facts are presented to and ap-
proved by the commission.
The commission asks the co-opera-
tion Of all dealers in food commodi-
ties, such as retail grocers, butchers
and fish dealers, shoe merchants and
retail clothing merchants, to report to
local fair price headquarters, which
in Medina county is at Wadsworth,
any increase in the price of necessi-
ties from the manufacturers In Or out
of this state that they may have deal
ings with, and the same viii be in
vestigated by the Department of JUS
t1ce. The State Commission bulletin
further says: r.
There have been efforts made to in
crease the price Of milk in Ohio. "Stop
It," If the producers or milk dealers
of Ohio are taking the attitude that
larger margins of profit should be
allowed, the burden is on them to
show the necessity. Producers and dis
tributors of dairy products are organ
lied, and have well-paid, bright and
efficient men for their representa-
tives. That we have no objection to,
so long as they do not transgress on
the rights of the public.
Manufacturers and dealers in wom-
ems wear realize the power of control
held by the. women, and the situation
in women's wear is favorable.
But in regard to the situation in
mems wearing appearal conditions are
not satisfactory. Manufacturers of
mems wear are conducting campaign
OF propaganda seemingly designed to
hold up prices, and further increases
If possible. Apparently the so-called
manufacturers guarantees" against
decline, and the closing down of some
factories are part and parcel to this
well laid plan.
The Fair Price Commissioner of
Ohio had hoped that the manufacture
ers and jobbers in mems wear would
follow the lead of their associates in
women's wear line, but since they have
not, the department cannot rest idle.
