WIFE NEED NOT PROMISE NOW
 TOOBEY HUBBY

LONDON. Nov (by Associated Press.) - Congregationalist brides here no longer need promise in the marriage service to obey their hus- bands.
 A committee of the Congregational union of England and Wales. ap- pointed to draw up a new form of service, has decided that modern ideas favor the omission of the word "obey," and this notwithstanding the fact that no woman sat on the com mittee; neither. were any requests received from women to omit the Hateful word
 All the churches are becoming less strict in their insistance on the wording of the marriage service 9 said the secretary of the Women's Freedom league. Even in Anglican churches the word obey is some times omitted at the, brides desire, and a great number of leading non comformist ministers have lately made a practice of cutting out the VOW to obey"

JAIL PROFITEERS
SAYS MIR. CAPPER
In Speech the Kansas Senator
Shows How Public Has been
Gouged All Down Line

Few men in public life have exhib-
tied the courage and boldness in at
lacking graft and profiteering in big
business that Senator Capper has
shown since he became a national fig
ure. No threats or combinations of
special interests have been able to
brighten him or induce him to stop
his relentless exposure Of some Of the
high-handed methods used by profit
teers in gouging the common people.
Last week he delivered a speech in the
senate on prOfiteering that was
startling revelation to all who heard
him. After reading telegram from
the National Wool Growers Associa-
ton as to the prices the producers are
receiving from wool, Senator Capper
said:
s'Mr. President, this statement is Of
more than ordinary interest when
considered in connection with the lat
est official report of the national
conference board, which brings the
startling information that from July
1, 1914, to November, 1919, cost Of
clothing has increased 135 per cent,
though foodstuffs increased only 90
per cent, fuel AZ per cent and rent
3s per cent.
Menace TO Business
Anxiety concerning the continu-
Gus advance in prices is reported gen.
eral in American business circles by
the federal reserve boards recent re-
view Of business conditions. It may
well be. The prevailing high prices
are referred to in that report as an
'unquestionable menace. This re-
port. virtually admits that excessive
profit taking is beginning to menace
business itself, to kill demand.
"Just now the country condemns
labor in unspairing terms for its ex-
actions, but the evidence is oyerwhel-
ming that the cause of the expensive
cost of living is not labor wholly, but
profits It is true that labor demands
all it can get that it may live, but big
business, to great extent, keeps on
getting, and the helpless consumer
pays. After the labor is paid, profits
mount to unheard Of heights.

Public Being sandbagged

"Can we doubt that the general
public is being sandbagged when we
know such facts as these: The net
profits Of the American Wooden Com
pany, after federal taxes had been de-
Quoted, were s2,778,6 500 in 1914; ST.
16O,295 in 1915; sS,21O,761 in

324, Os4 in 1918. All on an inves-
ted capital Of 1922, 100000. The
earnings on it's common stock were
$1,000 a share in 1915; $2705 a
share in 1916; $47.O2 a share in 1917;
and this year, according to-best Wall
street information, will exceed 500
share, or more than the stocks par
value. A year ago the watered stock
Of the American Wooden Company,
the chief textile company in the
United States, was quoted on the
stock exchange at $45. Today it is
close to $3.50 and in recent weeks has
been quoted at $3.50.

Cotton Gamblers Score
sThere can be no real shortage of
cotton with crop Of eleven million
bales added to three million bales left
over from 1918, but it is a common
occurrence, am told, for the specu-
lators on the cotton exchange to
boost the crop value fifty million dol
lars in single day. In one week, dur
ing the crop year, they actually in
creased it one-half million dollars.
"Said the Monroe IN. c. Journal
few days ago: Cotton manufactu-
rers are making from one hundred
per cent upon their investment, and
several have not only duplicated their
plants in one year but paid a dividend
also.

enormous speculative margin the mills

more than ample to meet all contin-
gencies. Therefore is it any wonder
that sheeting now costs nearly as
much a. yard as silk used to?
Where Shoe Money Goes
"A fifty per cent increase in the
price Of shoes by next summer is pre-
dicted by the president Of the Nation
al Shoe Travellers. The day Of this
prediction appeared another extra
dividend was declared by the Central
Leather Company. The common
stock Of this company was rated at

shoes high. Now it seems to be the

of one Of the great leather corpora

believed the concern would earn at
fair dividend rate. But fifty-two per
cent is not fair rate Of return on
such watered capitalization. AS long

Wall street we must be prepared to
pay robbery prices.
Sugar Gougerp Have Sweet Task
Just now the greatest get rich
quick game in America is gouging in
sugar. It is q mighty sweet and rich
business for profit cormorants. The
board held the refiners
down as to price, SO in the name Of
Great Britain and France they bought
up the Cuban sugar crop and export
ed to those countries at higher fig
ure than the board, would allow these
men to sell it in the United States,
and this government let them do it.
AS q result the increase in the price
Of sugar viii add one billion dollars
to the burdens now being borne by
the American people. The stock Of the
Cuban-American Sugar Company
has advanced more than two hundred
per cent in the last twelve months,
because Of the sugar short

stock quotations indicates It IL near

there was q distillery running full
blast at the south edge of town and
was owned and operated by Peter
Snyder. The finest kinds Of vintage
was produced and the place was
known far and wide. Recently some
old. timers fro mthe west visited here
and decided to again view familiar

lery. All they found remaining was
the old well, the only thing left to
even mark the spot where once a
prosperous and thriving liquor bust
ness was carried on. The old well is
still on the job.
