COMMUNITY ORGANIZAT TON
SHOULD BE REPRESENTA- TIVE

To be successful a community or
ganization such as the Civic and
Commerce association should be as
representative as possible. It is very
desirable that the differens sections
of the community, both city and
country, and other natural divisions
be represented on the board of direc-
tors. In this way 1t can be proven
that the organization Is for the good
of all, and Is not to. be controlled by
any group or any special interest, 1t
will be noticed that the list Of nemi-
nees resulting from the primary
election last Friday night are reps
resentative of all sections, and d.
visions of the community. In order
that the organization may have the
confidence of the whole community
In its task Of working out community
problems 1t 10 hoped the members
will keep In mind the fact that the
board of directors should be as rep
resentative as possible and cast
their final ballots accordingly.

Merchandise
And Prices

From Mondays Daily.
The Free Press is in receipt of the
following letter:
Free Press: With a great deal of
interest we read your editorial of the
10th in regard to the concentrated
drive on high prices.
THE National Retail Dry Goods as
sociation, of which we are member,
for the past two months have work
ed along these lines to hammer down
prices with manufacturers, There is
a great and wide confusion of opinion
on the unprecedented situation, and
yet no one seems bold enough to VEN
ture positive statement about what
the outeoms OF present conditions will
be on the market.
GAS you know, we recently inaugu-
rated a sale which we termed the
Public Request" sale in which we
offered to advertise such merchandise
as the public requested at such prices
as they were willing to pay.
u'It doesn't look like practical mer>
chandising to sell goods cheaper than
you can replace them at market pric-
es, yet that Is the very thing we did
in. many cases.
wages and lack Of production are
blamed for most high prices, and un-
til they are adjusted there can be no
softening Of prices to amount to any
thing.
I'VE have no assurance that we
will be able to purchase any ner-
chandise cheaper in the immediate
future: and In most cases we are be-
ing asked great deal more. But, If
our efforts are combined with hun
dreds of other leading merchants
throughout the country will tend to
force prices down to a reasonable
price, then we are perfectly willing to
take our share Of lass Of profits to &C:
complish the task. Yours very truly,

From Mondays Daily.
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch.1


Chicago, May 24.-Detectives to-
day sought to unravel the mystery
surrounding two attempts yesterday
on the life of Maclay Hoyne, states
attorney. From a post in a vacant
house across the street from the Hoy
ne residence two rifle shots were
fired at Francis J. Hoyne, fifteen year
old youth, who strikinrly resembles
his father. In connection with the
attacks Mr.. Hoyne revealed that
since prosecution of the men charged
with the murder Of Maurice ("Moss")
Enright. labor leader, was. begun, he
and his assistants had received
scores of threatening letters and
telehone calls.
Received Threat Letters.
"In the past seven years I have
received hundreds of threatening
letters" Mr.. Hoyne said.
Many OF them came when he began
prosecutions after the race riots here
last year; others, apparently from
radicals, were received about May
day and that the most recent ones
were connected with the Enright
murder case.
