VETERANS TO HONOR DEAD

Milwaukee, May 11-Memorial day,
falling this year on Sunday, will be
celebrated on Monday, May 81, it was
announced by the general Memorial
day committee of the city. This an
nOuncement was made following the
receipt Of a communication from Law
renee G. Whittet, secretary to Cover
ernor's proclamation would name May
81 for the celebration. Plans for a
demonstration unequalled in Milwau-
kee'c history are being laid by the
committee. Veterans of three wars
will take part in the various exercises
and in the big parade to be staged in
the afternoon. The morning will be
set aside for the decorating of all
graves of soldiers at the Soldiers
home and at other cemeteries of the
city and county. A departure has
been announced by e. e. Bruhn, chair
man of the committee on parades,
from the usual personnel of marchers.
No WOmen's organizations, industrial
organizations Or school children will
take part, according to present plans.
"This is purely day when the soldier
pays tribute to his Dead" said Mr..
Bruhn, "and the committee thinks it
best that this spirit be observed as
closely as possible. ut is hoped that
every veteran Of all the wars Civil,
Spanish and the world war, will take
part. 1t is the special duty of each
man to do this. This will be not alone
a day Of organizations, but there will
be places for all veterans. They will
not march as members of the Legion,
G. A. r. or other organizations, but
simply as veterans"

strip 9 inches wide. Pass this
through the hot OIL AS soon as we'll
soaked, run through the wringer, set
ting it as tight as possible. Spread

Lunbermen's Strike Near End.

Oshkosh, May 1.-THE first week Of
the lumbermen's strike, which union
organizers promise will tie up the
lumber industry in northern Wisconsin
and upper Michigan, finds two-thirds
Of the mills running ten hours a day,
and to capacity. Reports received here
by o. T. Swan, secretary of the North
ern Hemlock and Hardwood associa-
ton, showed that union organizers
were working desperately to keep the
men in line. Owners and operators
have won the public and many strikers
to their side on the eight-hour day
question. They have proved to the
satisfaction of the public that it is i'm
possible at present to grant the de-
mand, but that later, when production
has caught up with the demand, they
might be willing to consider it.

Underweiqht Children Gain.

Evansville, May 11.-Remarkable
gains in weight made by seriously I'M
derweight children during the first
week Of the nutrition clinic established
in the public school here have given
such a demonstration of the value of
the work that plans are under consid-
GRAFTON for extending the nutrition
work next year and making it part
of the home economics course. Six
pounds was the largest individual gain
made during the first week of the nu-
triton clinic, which is being attended
by 26 children who are Is per cent or
more underweight.

the price tags in numerals and not in
codes. Some merchants do this now.
The practice, however, is not popular,
If the wholesale price were thus dis
played any buyer could tell the amount
Of profit he is paying to the dealer,
Nobody begrudges reasonable gain
to merchant, but gains of 100 per
cent are assuredly beyond endurance.
1t may be that in some lines of
business excessive rates of profit are
necessary on certain commodities in
order to float the overhead and carry
the less remunerative departments, but
those who buy the more expensive
goods are being saddled with the bur
den of this adjustment from which
they get no benefit. The test in such
a business lies in the net profit Of the
whole enterprise, and even when that
works out to a reasonable figure it
may perhaps be claimed that the Gus
toner should get the benefit Of fairer
adjustment and equalization of prices
so that nobody will be compelled to
pay an extortionate profit for any com
modify.

Lloyd George, a hardy Welshman, is
said to be showing the effects of his
long war siege. His burden has been
extraordinarily heavy; and the armi
stice made little change in it. Di-
visions at home have of late been tax

The fact is that everywhere, in all
lines of activity, public men have been
driven by their duties at a breaking
speed for nearly six years. Executive
functions and legislative functions
alike have called for all the strength
and energy officials have possessed ;
and all officials have responded with
cut stint
Nor is relief in sight. Bringing or

High Profits.

Agents Of the Department Of Justice
are at work in various cities running
down cases of profteering in articles
of necessity, both foods and clothing.
They are making Roadway, it would ap-
pear from reports, numerous arrests
having been made. Their methods are
systematic. They ascertain the cost
prices of goods at wholesale, and note
the selling prices at retail. When
there is marked disparity between
the two they call for explanations, and
If these are not satisfactory they Ale

haberdasher was arrested for selling
raincoats at $45 apiece that had cost
from $23 to $33 Wholesale. At the
lower figure the merchant was making
practically 100 per cent, and at tho
higher figure about 35 per cent. There
was an interesting feature In this
case. The mans price coda was
found TO be "God help u.s." these nine

Live Stock and the Strike.

1t is small matter in comparison
with the sufferings of humanity per-
haps, but one Of the effects of the rail-
road strike is a CHASTITY commentary
on the "Be kind to animals" slogan
that is being sounded throughout the
country this week. As a result of the
suspension Of work by yardmen and
trainmeD thousands of ears laden with
poultry and live stock are tied up in
yards, and millions of creatures are
now suffering for food and water. It
matters not that they are intended for
the slaughter pens and the markets,
soon to die. They should be treated
humanely on their last journey. There
is law that compels this attention,
and it Is now being ignored. Nobody
seems to b giving the helpless victims
D thought and doubtless great mum.
. bers Of them will perish. This is a
symbol Of the thoughtless selfishness
Of those who have precipitated and who
are conducting the present strike, SO
senseless in its destructiveness and
cruelty.

Local Strike Threats.

Adding to the anxieties of the PEG
pie of this city, already seriously DIS
tressed by the stoppage of railroad
trains, comes the menace of strike
of the operatives of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company. eff
fective tomorrow night, if the demands
of the workers for higher wages are
not met. This would be serious enough
without other complications, but the
threat 10 strike is accompanied by the
announcement that if the street car
men stop work the machinistS, fremen
and oilers of the Potomac Electric
Power Company will also cease work.
This would plunge the city in dark
ness at night and would furthermore
shut off power from the majority of
the buildings in Washington, cause sus-
pension Of many industries and in
flict untold losses upon the community.
Demands by the street car operatives
for more money have been frankly met
by the company with the response that
it is impossible to increase the scale
unless the rate Of fare is advanced.
The company's petition for higher
fare rate has not been acted upon by
the Public Utilities Commission. A
strike for more pay in these circum-
stances would be altogether unjusti-
fable. To meet the wage demands
would be to increase seriously the
financial troubles of the traction COM
pany, possibly causing bankruptcy.
The men are, in effect, asking the i'm
possible and they cannot expect public
sympathy or support if they persist in
this ill-advised, untimely pressure for
higher pay.
A sympathetic strike by the electric
power workers could not fail to be
disastrous, and can in no sense be re-
garded as warranted. These men have
no particular grievances and have no
grounds for stopping work. So de-
pendent is the community upon the
plant which they now threaten to close
rs . means Of supporting the urrea-
sonable claims Of their traction col
leagues that persistence in their pres
ent announced purpose would be dis
astrous to the point Of justifying the
government in adopting the most dras-
tic means Of prevention.
