was very impressive.
The young man was killed in ac
tion November 5, 1918.
TRAPPED!
Often he returned home late—so
late thut when wlfey asked the time
he'd murmur: "Oh. about 12, dear!"
or 'Just after midnight, pet!"
But one evening, or rather morn
ing, she 6aid, instead of the usual
request:
"John, dear, I wish you'd stop the
clock, its ticking worries me."
The hapless, unsuspecting man
did so.
Next morning wifey asked art
lessly:
"What time did you come home
last night, John?"
"About midnight," he replied
glibly.
"John," she said coldly, look at
the clock!"
The hands of the timepiece point
ed to 2.ls!—Houston Post.

WEAR OLD CLOTHES,
SAYS PALMER
Describing efforts of the Depart
ment of Justice to drive down the
cost of living. Attorney General
Palmer attacked the "buy now" cam
paign, declaring that "our job is to
wit. both in our interest and in the
Interest of the nation and the world
at large, that the demand may be
lightened." He called upon ''the
plain people" to wear their old
clothes a little longer, to refuse to
buy until production had caught up
with demands. This, he assured the
officials, was one of the principal
means of ending the spectacle of "the
dog chasing its tail around in a
circle."
order with a brief outline of the pur
poses. Among the mayors were
Smith, Philadelphia; Babcock, Pitts

District Attorneys Rotan, Philadel
phia. Rowand, Allegheny, and others.
Mayor D. L. Kiester. City Solicitor
Jchtl E. Fog and other Harrlshurgers
and Burgess T. T. McKntee, of Stdel
ton, were also present. ,
The Governor said that it was most
important that officers should have
behind them public sentiment and
that the State and Federal Govern
ments were planning to work togeth
er to bring down the expenses of liv
ing. The Governor presented the At
torney General with a tribute to the
work he had been doing toward solv
ing the great problem.
"People say this campaign to reduce
living costs can't succeed. I don't care.
I'm going ahead with it and you can
and very materially in your commun
ities," said Mr. Palmer. "I know some
body is going to get hurt but even if
some one does get hurt this work has
| got to go on."
The attorney general said that there
were some "gougers" in business and
that it was the object to protect the
honest merchants as well as the public.
Hovcrter Is Present
Mayor-elect George A. Hoverter. Dis
trict Attorney M. K. Stroup, District
Attorney-elect Philip S. Moyer, and
other Harrisburg and county officials
were present.
Lieutenant-Governor E. E. Bcidle
man. Director Frank 15. MeClain. of the
Welfare Commission, all the deputies,
attorney general and Director of Foods
James Foust were present.
Mr. Palmer said:
"In anticipation of the enactment
of legislation which would enable
the department to deal more effec
tively with profiteering and other
causes responsible for the high cost
of living, the department, in August
of this year, commenced to plan an
organization so that there might be
as little delay as possible in getting
the work under way after the neces
sary amendments to the food con
trol act were passed. The natural
nucleus of this organization was the
former Federal food administrators,
and accordingly they were asked to
undertake the direction of the fair
price work in their respective states
and to reorganize the former county
fair price committees to work in
connection with the Federal agen
cies in the several states. There was
a splendid response to this call to
render gratuitous public service and
approximately seventy per cent, of
the administrators accepted. The
Governors of the states were asked
to tecomnienj'some one to serve as
fair price commissioners in the
states where the former adminis
trators declined to serve. There is
now a fair price commissioner for
practically all states. Approximate
ly fifty per cent, of the former
county fair price committees have
been reorganized. Through these
committees the department is able
to keep in close touch with the
prices throughout the country.
"In every rnmpaign of this char
acter, time is required to perfect
the organization. The' work is al
ready beginning to show results and
now that the movement is well
started it will doubtless gain mo
mentum rapidly.
How List Works
"I wish to cull attention to two
or three very interesting facts tliut
have developed in the fair price
work, taking for example the tirst
lair price list published in Boston,
which had a tendency to increase
prices on certain commodities. The
second fair price list published one
week later reduced all prices ex
cept. on one commodity, five per
cent, from the previous week. The
third fair price list published one
week later made a further reduc
tion ot" four per cent, on all com
modities except two, butter and eggs
having increased some. Nearly as
I good results have been accomplish
ed in a shorter period in Baltimore.
Practically all committees have
made a very substantial reduction
on a large percentage of the com
modities affected.
"Through a very unique plan un
der the fllrection of the United States
attorneys, the fair price bommitte of
Denver has been able to reduce meat
price more than 25 per cent, by estab
lishing certain days that are known
as days when the less desirable cuts
of meat are offered for sale in large
quantities at a very much reduced
pi ice. This plan has educated the
people of Denver to realize that some
of the cuts of meat that have been
considered rather undesirable have as
much food val ueasthe t cwnfwyu
much food value as the more desir
able cuts, causing a reduction in the
better cut* us the demand for this
class of meats increased. This plan
Is being put into operation in a great
many of the adjoining states, and
has been suggested to tlie district at
torneys of all other states.
"Immediately upon the removal of
the restraining influence of the food
administration upon dealers in food
products, the prices of approximately
everything in the line commenced to
advance by leaps and bounds, and it
became the duty of this department
to undertake to deal with the situa
tion to such extent as might be prac
ticable under existing laws.
Profiteering Responsible
"Profiteering and hoarding arc re
sponsible for a considerable part of
the prevailing high prices. The Lev
el food control act. under which the
food administration operated, and
through the enforcement of which act
the department is now trying to re
duce high prices, unfortunately did
not provide a penalty for acts there
in declared to be unlawful. The de
partment was unable to effectively
deal with many cases of profiteering
which came to its attention. The
President realized the gravity of the
situation caused by the rapidly
mounting prices of the necessaries of
life and appeared before Congress
August 8, this year, and urged an Im
mediate amendment to the food con
trol act to extend Its scope to all the
necessaries of life; to provide a pen
alty for violations of Section 4 of this
act which made profiteering unlawful
and to extend the life of the act into
peace times. I also appeared before
the Senate agricultural committee and
urged that the amendments asked by
the President be passed. These
amendments became a law on October
22, and it is now possible to deal ae-

verely with all cases of profiteering
and hoarding.
"While awaiting the enactment of ad
ditional legislation, the Department did
not remain Inactive. Section 6 of the
act provided a penalty for hoarding,
and Section 7 authorized the seizure
und sale of hoarded necessaries. lip
to the end of October, 1919, there have
been 92 seizures under Section 7 and
in many of these cases prosecutions are
contemplated under Section 6. In ad
dition, 22 Instances of alleged hoarding
have been called to the attention of
United States attorneys for investiga
tion, with instructions to seize the goods
and prosecute the offenders if the facts
warrant such action.
"The seizures referred to were made
above-mentioned cases have been dis
foliowlng commodities; eggs, butter,
cheese, pork, poultry, lard, flsh, sugar,
potatoes, coffee, flour and canned goods.
Approximately 4,800,000 dozen of eggs,
1,700,000 pounds of butter, 2,500,000
pounds of meat, and 20,000 cases cf
canned goods were included In these
seizures.
l'ut on Market
"It has been the policy of the De
partment, whenever possible, to force
hoarded goods into the normal chan
nels of trade. To this end. 49 of the
above mentioned cases have been dis
posed of by releasing the goods under
agreements that they would be sold,
under the direction of the United States
attorneys, within a specified time and
at reasonable prices.
"Prosecutions for hoarding have also
been Instituted under Section 8 of 'he
act. In two cases Indictments have been
obtained and these cases are now await
ing trial. In one case involving the
hoarding of flour, the defendant en
tered a plea of guilty and the court
imposed a sentence of five months' im
prisonment and a fine of $5,000. This
case is now pending on appeal. The
Imposition of jail sentence wilt Un
doubtedly have a most salutary effect.
"Practically all points in the United
States have felt the pinch from the
unfortunate sugar shortage that has
been brought about very largely by
the increased consumption, our prewar
consumption having been about 68
pounds per capita has now jumped to
92 pounds. I hope relief will be af
forded very shortly as the western beet
sugar crop is now being harvested, also
Louisiana sugars will be on the market
very shortly. The new Cuban crop will
start to move about January 15. A
little more than half our normal supply
comes from Cuban sources. We are
trying to stabilize prices througn agree
ment with the Interests concerned and
to eliminate as far as posstbte tne In
termediary transactions which havo sd
largely Influenced prices in the past."

Deputies. M. Clemenceau told the
minister that he could not permit a
number of the Clemenceau cabinet to
flgure on the same list with a Peace
Treaty opponent.
The subject is said first to have
been broached by the premier to M.
Lebrun when they were traveling on
k the same train the other day to Stras
bourg, where M. (Jlemeneeau deliv

The premier was reported then to
have toW the blockade minister that

Military Ready to
Meet Any Situation
OliarleKtoii, W. Va., Nov. 6.
Disposition of Federal troops in the
West Virginia coal fields was completed
to-day and the military authorities were

Don't Insist on Shorter Day
W. N. Vanderpool, president of the
local union of mine workers at South
Carbon, in the heart of the*Kanawha
region, told newspaper men yesterday
thut the striking miners demanded an
increase in wages to meet the high cost
of living "but did not insist on the six
hour day."
"The miners do not care much for
the six-hour day," Mr. Vanderpool said,
"but they must huve an Increase in
wages. The cost of living has advance!
hut our wages have not."
Mr. Vanderpool charged that the
"company stores were overcharging the
miners." He said that the miners vere
compelled Jo "pay the highest prices
for necessities."
G. K. Cabell, general manager cf the
company stores in the. Cabin Creek dis
tricts, said "lie had no knowledge" of
tlie miners being overcharged. He as
serted that the stores are operated on
the bnsls of approximately 20 per cent,
profit, and that the men are not com
pelled to trade at the company stores.

STATE STREET
Property Will Be Remodeled
to House Big Fra
ternity
Early next year Harrisburg Ex
pects to have an up-to-date Knighta
of Columbus building and hall. An
nouncement was made that the lo
cal council had purchased the Ktter
property at 213 State street. They
will get possession about April 1.
Plans are not yet complete, but
it is the purpose to have a building
that will meet every requirement
of the Knights of Columbus. The
plans, It is said, will include a large
hall for public purposes, a meet
ing room, committee rooms, officers
headquarters and probably a gym
nasium. Details are still under con
sideration.
The property Is located at State
and Spring streets and is 107 feet
deep with a small private alleyway
in the roar. The State street front
age is forty feet. The present quar
ters of the Knights of Columbus is
in Cathedral I fall in North street.
With the rapid growth of the local
council, and the use of several of
the rooms for school purposes, Har
risburg knights find the need for
more room. If present plans carry
out the new building will be dedi
cated early next fall..

ARE RUNNING CLOSE

showing, also the ratification pro
posal would be approved by a small
margin, it was said.
Unofficial returns from 59 counties,
including all of the wet centers and
big cities, showed wet majorities on
all four proposal, and unusually
large wet majorities against the
Crabbe prohibition enforcement act
and ratification of national prohibi
tion.
Easing his assertions on late of
ficial returns from 39 counties. Sec
retary of State Smith said the first
dry victory estimates had been much
too high.
State dry headquarters this morn
ing admitted the probable defeat of
the Crabbe bill said the vote was
very close on ratification but insisted
that the repeal of State-wide pro
hibition and the 2.75 per cent, beer
amendments had been defeated by
large votes. L. H. Gibson, wet cam
paign manager, declared the
act overwhelmingly defeated and
ratification decisively so.
Fairly complete unofficial returns
from 59 of the 88 counties gave the
wets a lead of 14,000 on the repeal
amendment, of 27,000 on the beer
proposal, of 4 8,000 on ratification and
of 78,000 on the Crabbe bill.
The missing 29 counties last year
gave drys a majority of 32,000.
enough to wipe out wet leads on the
repeal and beer amendments. In
order to overcome the wet lead of
48;000 on ratification, however, elec
tion experts pointed out that the
drys would have to gain 16,000 wi
the missing counties over last year.
To overcome the wet lead of 78,000
on the Crabbe act was regarded by
the experts as Impossible.
