GROCERS TALK OVER i PROBLEMS OF TRADE

Retail Dealers' Association Decides to Take Part In Labor Day Celebration.

A number of food regulations were discussed at the meeting of the Retail Grocers' association, hold in the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce Thursday evening. It was^also decided to close the stores at 11 a. m. on Labor day.

Food Administrator John S. Ahlgren read a communication which the food administration at Washington, D. C., had sent to Dr. H. E. Barnard, stating that fruit was being left to rot in an effort to economize on sugar and that this should not be done. The message urged that the November and even December allotments of sugar be used to preserve the fruit. The September sugar allowance for Indiana will be 12,276.000 pounds, one-third more than the regular allowance.

City Sealer U. G. Buck explained the Indiana law, which requires that the weight of the contents of every package must be stamped on the outside of the container. He said that products should not he Fold by measure, but by weight. Farmers and peddlers are the exceptions to this rule.

A report on the Indianapolis prices on foodstuffs was read by President E. King, and following this a resolution was adopted asking the bakers to produce a pound-loaf Of bread, which should wholesale for cents, and a one-half pound loaf, wiii^h should wholesale for 13tj cents. Mr. Ahlgren announced that he had a meeting of the bakers scheduled for the near future, and that he would take up this scale with them at that time.

An Invitation from the Central Labor union was read, asking the association to take part in the l^abor day celebration, and a resolution was passed that the grocers should close their stores at 11 a. m. on that date. The plan of continuing the Thursday afternoon closing was discussed but no definite action taken.

Harry Skean gave a short talk on the value of organization and co-oper-ation. and urged an increase in the membership of the association.

ABSENT-MINDED.

The absent-minded beggar, booked for a two weeks' visit to his rich aunt, stood upon the doorstep, receiving his wife's final instructions. "Now, James," she said, *do, please, remember to put on your tie should you be called on to wear evening dress. Last time you went, you remember, you went down without it." "I'll make a note or It," said the forgetful one. "Also," continued the wife," remember that Aunt Tabitha*s brother Bill is a sore point with ail at them, lion't mention him!" "I'll put that down, too!" murmured the husband. "Then, too, dear, do he careful about getting in drafts. You caught an awful cold last time." "I'll try to remember,** he returned.

She imprinted a farewell kiss upon hln brow.

"I hope, deaf,** she said, a catch in her voice, "you'll think of me etrery day while your gone*."^ ,"Yes, dear, I will." -responded, "the hubby, absently. 'Til make a memorandum of it.* .i

LACKING W GALLANTRY.

The conversation at a social gathering turned to gallantry when an incident along that line was related by Congressman Frank L. Greene, of Vermont. one afternoon the lesson in a public school related to the American Indian, when the teacher paused and asked if any boy or girl could tell her what the leaders of the various tribes were called. "They are called chiefs," wa« the ready response of a bright little girl at the head of the class. "That's right," smiled the teacher, approvingly. "Now can anyDody tell me what women of the tribes are called?"

For a moment there was an impressive silence. Every little mind was thinking hard. Finally, Jimmy Brown's hand went up. "Well, Jimmy." said the teacher, "what are the women of the tribes called?"

Miss Chiefs.*' tMtswered Jimmy, proudly, if not gallantly.

PAST HISTORYT

Elsie's mother held the opinion that instruction should be given to children incidentally whenever possible. Therefore on different occasions at the table hjsie learned that veal is cut from a little cafr, that slices of bacon once helped to make a pig, and so on. One morning at breakfast she looked up from her plate with a puzzled expression.

Soap should be used very carefully, if von want to keep your hair looking Its best. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain to* much alkalis Tliis dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle and ruins it.

The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulsified cocuanut oil (which •s pure and greaseless), and is better than the, most expensive soap or anything else you can use.

One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly,-Simply trolsten the hair with water and ru.b it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle, of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair •dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fifie nnd silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy t© manage.

You can get mulsifled cocoanut oil at any pharmacy, it's very cb^ftp. and a few ounces will supply every member of the family for months.—Advertisement

WARNS AGAINST PEACE THAT GERMAN! WANTS

Senator Declarer Against Insidious jmd Poisonous German Propoganda.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.—An earnest warning against "insidious and poisonous" German peace propaganda and a declaration that peace must be dictated to and not negotiated with Germany to place her in a position where she ne\ ^r again disturb the world's peace, were made in the senate today by Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, ranking republican of the foreign relations committee.

Peace terms, which must and will he forced on Germany, were supeciflcilly detailed by Senator Lodge in adeasing the senate in support of the man-power bill to extend the army draft ages. They included complete restoration of Belgium, unconditional return of Alsace-Lorraine to France, and of Italia irredenta to Italy, safety for Greece, Independence for Serbia and Roumania, aji independent Poland, independence of the Slav peoples, and freedom of Russia from German domination, including return of Russian territory wrested by Germany in the Brest-Litovsk treaty.

Furthermore, Senator Txxlge declared Constantinople must be made a free port and Palestine never restored to Turkish rule. "These are the principal conditions," he said, "which will give a victory worth having. No peace that satisfies Germany can ever satisfy us. It cannot be a negotiated peace. It must be a dictated peace and we and our allies must dictate it."

I Will Seek Strong Peace. Germany undoubtedly will attempt a strong peace drive when she feels victory is slipping from her grasp. Senator Lodge asserted, in solemnly giving warning against the least yielding until Germany is "beaten to her knees," and such a peace enforced by dictation that Will remove her forever as a possible disturber of the world's peace. "The Germans, repulsed and losing," said Senator Lodge, "will undoubtedly resort to their other weapon which they have used more than once during this war with terrible effect. They will begin an insidious and poison peace propaganda. With this weapon they have succeeded in disorganizing Russia. It is the German propaganda which we shall be obliged to face in the ensuing months, and it, therefore, seems to me of the greatest importance to know exactly what we *mean by peace. Generalities will not serve. That must be, it is commonly said—we have all said it—a Just and righteous peace. "But what is Just and righteous

Peace? We intend to make the world safe for democracy. But what exactly do we mean by democracy? If we mean, as we undoubtedly do, the democracy of I£ngland, France, Italy and the United States, we can all understand it bilt the Bolshevik masquerade under the name of democracy, and the Bolsheviki, by a combination of treachery, corruption and ignorance, have reduced Russia to servitude under Germany and have engendered a form of democracy as dangerous to the world aa the government of Hohenzollerns.''

FAVORS PAY INCREASE FOR CITY FIREMEN

Tribune Reader Says If Insurance Is Increased, It Will Cost More.

Editor Tribune. City. Sir: I Bee in the press some agitation for the increase of firemen's and policemen's pay. For years I have been closely identified with the Are department. although not a member. I will sav Terre Haute is one of the poorest paid Are departments in the state, considering the efficiency. Firemen cannot go out on a strike like the average working man and demand their riuhts, or even resign their positions without placing themselves in the hands of the law, or possibly the walls of the penitentiary, on account of legislative acts covering metropolitan departments.

The Firemen's association has been the leader of every patriotic movement promoted in Terre Haute and if thev are going to continue in their good work the firemen cannot compete with the average working man with the salary thev are getting.

It is absolutely certain that firemen cannot exist on present wages paid them. It will naturally lead UD to disorganization among the members, for they will be looking for an opportunity to be discharged in order to seek employment in factories and mills paying larger wages.

Terre Haute's insurance rates are 20 per cent lower than other cities of this

state, a saving to the property holders of $300,000 annually in insurance ratfs. If the fire department becomes disorganized through the low wanes, the insurance rates will eventually raise. A 10 per cent raise in insurance rates means $150,000 annually increase to the property holders.

Would it not pay the city administration to pay its police and firemen living wages and try and economize in other places?

PROFITABLE FLAG HAKVEST.

Product of Marshes Sells at High Prices. SENECA FAI/I^S, Aug. 23.—Th§ heavy growth of tlag, or as It is more famlliary known "cat talis," that borders Cayuga lake and covers thousands of acres, of the Montezuma marshes, was for many years considered of little value. The small quantity used for making chair seats was not enough to develop a well organized industry

In more recent years the flag has come into general use in cooperage shops. Where a good barrel is required the cracks are made tight with a strip of Hag. Th« j:*}? which grows in this vicinity is: of the right sort for that purpose because it grows under water for at least four months lr» the year and is large and soft.

The flag harvesting is now a most attractive occupation for men who know how to go about the task and live near the flag fields. From a price of five to seven cents a bundle, the prevailing prices for next season's contracts bav«Ladvanced.'.-.to, aa auS .15 cents.

STARTING SOMETHING.

The merchant had" come home tired as on previous evenings, but, in keeping with a rule on which he prided himself gave up some of his tfme to his little son, who usually had a number of questions saved up for him. On this occasion the boy leaned against his father's knee and Innocently asked: "Daddy, is today tomorrow?" "No, my son of course today Isn't tomorrow—not yet," replied the father with a premonition of Inipending trouble. "But you said it was." "When did I ever say such a. thing as that?" "Yesterday, you did. You said that very thing."

The father scratched his head in deep study, but finally rallied, and said: "Well, son, it was today was tomorrow yesterday, but today is today today. Just as yesterday was today yesterday, but is yesterday today, and tomorrow wijl be today tomorrow all at once. Now, run along and play," and the father collapsed into his big chair witlt a sigh of relief.

FATHER FELT BELIEVED.

Farmer Quietlife had demanded a heart-to-heart ta'k with his son, who, despising agriculture, was a bank clerk in the city. "I am told that you are given to gambling!" said the farmer, sternly. "I admit it!" the son acknowledged. "But only for small stakes." "Oh," said Farmer Quietlife, highly relieved, ''as long as it is for something to.eat I don't mindl"

BV MIQUE O'BRIEN.

With baseball uniforms to deceive as to their method of earning the stipend set aside for them by the vaudeville magnates, Messrs. Frear, Daggett and Frear quickly settle down to a juggling act which by reason of novelty in the method or presentation and the introduction of new stunts, makes it one of the most enjoyable features of an excellent bill at the Hippodrome. One of the boys, in a freak makeup, seems to be a target for hats that are tossed in the air from stage and wings, for the hats come to roost upon his head. There are other stunts with baseball bats, bnt the hat stuff is the outstanding feature of the act.

Tom Brown's musical acts are always worth while, and his seven Musical Highlanders, who present the big ensemble number, will not disappoint those who are familiar with this producer's past performances.

Bobby Henshaw, the plump and pleasing young monologist, is the best single-handed entertainer on the bill. He yodels and he imitates sounds of various sorts, the gem being his notion of a pet parrot, which finally becomes nettled and| "says things."

Nadelle and P'ollette, in a contest at repartee, and Margot Francois and associate, in a tumbling act. are the other offerings. "The Aliies' Record" is the picture feature.
