of the war industries board established
maximum prices for such lumber which
were legally in effect on and after June

The defendants" the petition contin-
ues. 'concertedly adopted the position

regarded as in fact minimum prices and
frequently exceeded these prices"

Der company. Bagdad, Fla; w. b. Har-

duction in any manner, and that officials
of the association know nothing of any
effort on the part of the 81 corporations
and 60 individuals involved in the Iiti-
cation to fix prices or control produc-
tion.

Mrs. Hueston did not fail the ex-
pectation OF the girls who heard ner
speak last year. Her talk was one
OF the most interesting and inspir-
ing ones given az the Y. w G. A.
service this year. Her topic was the
"Power OF God" She said that her
original intention had been to speak
Of the love Of God. but that subject
had been so often talked on she
considered power a subject Of equal
Importance. The seniors especially
should be helped by a talk on the
nower of God, for after they take
their part in the workaday world
they will feel the need Of the power
Of God more than ever before. Mrs
Hueston gave several personal testi-
monies OF the power Of God during
her talk. Mrs. Hueston now lives in
Coatesville. Pennsylvania. She is
very much Interested In religious
work OF all kinds. She has travelled
in the Holy Land and has many in
teresting stories TO tell OF her trip

ADDRESSES TWO
WARD MEETINGS

OF Council, also spoke.
Mr.. Bayard, in his address at both
meetings, renewed his attacks upon
Leroy Harvey, the Republican candi-
date for Mayor Those speeches, in
the main, merely were repetitions OF
speeches he had made in other wards
during the campaign.
Mr. Bayard made public today the
following letter, which is self-ex-
explanatory:
Wilmington, Del,
June 21. 1921.
Leon Walker, Esq. Chairman, Cen
eral Citizens Charter Committee,
Wilmington, Del.
my Dear Mr.. Walker.
Il am writing in reply TO your let
ter OF May 80, 1921, addressed TO
Mr.. Leroy Harvey, as Republican
candidate for mayor, and to myself.
as Democratic candidate for mayor
in the present city campaign.
You ask two questions, first:
VIII you, therefore, pledge yourself
II elected TO support the efforts OF
the Citizens Committee to write a
commissions charter pro-
viding for the above fundamentals;'
and second, viii you make every
legitimate effort 10 secure its enact
ment into law at the next session OF
the Legislature?
"A few weeks ago and in the early
part Of the present campaign, I de-
clared my stand before the voters OF
Wilmington in the following Ian
guage:-
The proposed new charter,
which was recently submitted TO the
Legislature. from my own knowl-
edge. presents a great step forward
towards helping the people OF this
city 10 efficiently and comfortably
manage their own affairs. My stand,
therefore. is upon the new city char
ter proposition as finally presented
by the Citizens Charter Committee,
and for that charter, whether sue
cessful in the nomination and cleo
tion or not. l shall continue 10 de-
vote my efforts until this vital
measure. so greatly needed and so
manifestly desired by all the good
people OF Wilmington, becomes a
law
This same position. have main
tanned during this campaign both in
public and in private speech as well
as in letters. and shall continue to
maintain this stand until we obtain
from the Legislature what a vast
majority OF the citizens OF Whining
ton, with no uncertain voice. asked
for during the past winter.
MY answer to both Of your ques-
tions is: Yes.
Very truly yours.
