There sits at Washington a commission known Trade Commission. It is composed of more or less distinguished gentlemen whose chief duty, in return for the big salaries they draw, is to see that the naughty Trusts behave themselves. How do they go about this work ? We will tell you. Let us say that a combination of manufacturers conspire to inflate the price of a necessity, and actually do inflate it so that the poor con sumer is forced to pay fifty per cent, more' for said necessity than it is actually worth. When this fact is painfully apparent, does the Federal Trade Commission take immediate action? ^ No. The Federal Trade Commission waits months or perhaps ^ In the meantime criminal conspirators are filling their pockets with ill-gotten gains. When the Federal'Trade Commission finally does act, what is the It finds, or it does not find, that the consumer has been robbed, acting upon the principle that criminals should have a “fifty-fifty” chance of going scot free. Well, supposing the Federal Trade Commission does actually de cide that a gang of horse thieves are operating under the disguise of presidents of million dollar corporations—^what then? Does it have these worthies arrested, tried and jailed? By no means. You see, the Federal Trade Commission hasn’t power to arrest anybody. The most it can do is tell the horse thieves not to do it again. And the horse thieves politely tell the Federal Trade Commission [0 fly array into limitless space, and they continue their depredations more vigorously than ever. The news print combination, the combination to boost food prices, all those who prey upon the consumer, treat the Federal Trade Com mission with sardonic contempt. They know ft is powerless; they know it is a farce. But the spoilation of the public is NOT a farce, and there will be ■jn accounting some day.

I t AYE you ever stopped to smile quietly to yourself over the awful 1 1 jolt that Herr Wilhelm Hohenzollern must have suffered when Ke learned that the American people subscribed more than three billion of dollars to the Liberty Loan when they were asked for but two billion. That knowledge must have shaken His Imperial Majesty from the top of his head to the soles of his feet. It is certain that the knowledge that American came to the front so nobly causes a warm glow to come to the surface of every red- blooded A-merican. It showed conclusively that Americans stand first, last and always for America against the world. But there are other features about the noble response that should prove a great satisfaction to all think ing men ^ d women. The Liberty Loan is bound to have a lasting effect upon the economic conditions of the country. Hundreds of thousands of new bond buyers were created by the establishment of the Liberty Loan. Hundreds of thousands of men and women bought these bonds. Many of these people had but a hazy idea at that time as to just what a bond really was. Many thought that it was an invention,of Wall Street de signed to entice the innocent to part with their hard earned cash. These persons have been disillusioned and now see that good bonds are a safe and profitable investment. The fact that many of these people will invest at a later date in other classes of reliable bonds is an important factor in the financial life of the country. Many who have purchased Liberty Loan Bonds have done so on an installment or weekly payment plan. These people will learn— many have already learned—that they can easily save a little each week, even though they have previously believed this to be impos sible. In this manner the Liberty Loan has created in many a habit of saving and true thrift that speaks well for the future of the nation. This is one of the most important and truest types of conservation. 0 fi'ghts for you th a t you may fwo s -6 a country and work to provide ginia and Norfolk and surrounding for yourself and family and have ^ territory, 4,760,000 barrels, ugh left over to give to the Red “Owing to unfavo' ■‘la ----------------- ditions at, (planting time the early planted po- iry large percentage of iwnicn -vvere Maine gro-\ Ishcrn-ing an exceptional!; .................
