SECTIONS OF LEVER

ACT ARE DECLARED UNCONSTITUTIONAL

t By Associated jr? WASHINGTON, Feb. 28. Sections of the Lever food control act under which the department of Justice has brought many actions for alleged profiteering in necessities were declared unconstitutional today by the supreme court. Chief Justice White read the court's opinion. i Conviction of the L. Cohen Grocery company of St. Louis, In having charged an unreasonable profit in sales of sugar, was set aside by the court. In taking this action the court sustained decrees of lower courts which had sustained a demurer to the indictment of the grocery concern. The

specific charge was that the defendant charged $10.70 for 50 pounds of sugar, or at the rate of more than 20 cents per pound. Hundreds of cases growing out of the government campaign to reduce the cost of living, are affected by the opinion. A large number of these cases have reached the supreme court, while many others are pending in lower courts.

New York and West Has Same Taste for Mask

As far as people, considered in the I later

large aa an audience, are concerned.

! the same sort of music seems to have

the same sort of appeal, no matter where it is played. At least, this has been the experience of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, which plays here April 1, under the auspices of the Woman's club. Although people living in large cities are inclined to think that their less fortunate brethren who live farther away from populated centers, do not appreciate the same things that they do, the observations of musicians who play with The Philharmonic, lead to quite the opposite viewpoint. The music which makes the biggest hit in New York makes the biggest hit in the smallest town in w-hich the orchestra plays. For example, in small wester"n cities, where a symphony orchestra had never been heard before, the people were moved to nthuslasm by exactly the same masterpieces as were the people of Boston or New York. Furthermore, the compositions which left them rather cold were invariably the ones which had a similar effect upon the audiences in cosmopolitan cities.

Death Angel Calls Jennie Townsend Jennie Townsend, wife of Joel Townsend, died in Indianapolis Sunday arternoon. Mrs. Townsend is survived by her son, Joel Townsend, of this city, and one daughter. Miss Rosella Townsend, of Indianapolis. ' Funeral services were to have been held from the home of her son at 309 North Ninth street, at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon. Burial will be in the Webster cemetery.

The Big Problem

Do You Care? I That is the big question before the citizens of Richmond. I Richmond has many problems that must be solved, and they can be if we but have the active interest of the whole community.

We can find leaders, but we want WORKERS. The biggest problem that faces the community is the overcoming of the "BLIGHT OF INDIFFERENCE." 2What would you think of a man who stocked his shelves with goods and then sat idly by waiting for some one to buy, making no effort to solve the retail problems? I Well, Richmond has things to sell and problems to solve, big activities to undertake, and what we want is workers. I Taxes, government, business betterment, agricultural improvement, city beautification, all can and will be solved, if the citzens, men and women, take an interest in the organization that is now being built on larger progressive lines. 3fThe Chamber of Commerce is the organization, YOU are the citizen we want. . .
