PRICES IN AMERICA W

(NFLICTINB REAL HARDSHIPS ' BECAUSE ALLIES DRAIN NATION

Why are prices going up? Not because the United States is not raising enough wheat or cattle to supply our needs; not because we are not mining enough metals for our own use. No. Because the allies are draining this country of our products. Because we are exporting millions of bushels of whtfat, million of tons of provisions, millions of tons of products to feed the armies of the allies. Keep this stuff at home, and you will not have to pay a dollar more for coal, exorbitant prices for flour, potatoes, meat and the other necessities of life. The time is here when the United States government must protect her own citizens. The people cannot long stand the tremendous increase in prices taking place in a so-called "year of prosperity," which in reality Is nothing but an era benefiting the men who own munition plants, or are able to sell the allies provisions. Here's what the Alunla, carrlnyg goods for the allies had on board when she destroyed by a mine: 175,965 bushels of wheat. 16,817 bags of flour. 4,480 bags of cotton teed meal. . 9,584 boxes and barrels of apples. 1,874 boxes and barrel of pears. 6,736 tubs and boxes of butter. 2,812 boxes of eggs. 3,600 boxe of fresh meat. 494 barrels of oil. 307 barrels of phosphate ammonia. 1,100 barrel of rlnc oxide. 2,483 bags of borate. 318 packages of rubber tires. 566 packages of teel. . 1 automobile in a case.

WEATHER REDUCES FESTIVAL PROCEEDS AND ALL PROFITS All expenses of the. Richmond Centennial Exhibition have been provided for and it is probable there will be a surplus of between $1,000 and $2,000, this depending upon today's business. Half of the surplus goes to the pro motion company represented by H. B. Marx. The remaining fifty per cent, of the surplus goes to the local parties financially interested in the project the concerns which purchased space in the exhibition section. Some have advocated donation of a part of the surplus to the Commercial club, after the promotion- company receives its share, the remainder to be rebated, on a prorata basis, to the exhibitors. Expenses of the exhibit were -provided for before the centennial beean through contributions and sales of exhibition space. These expenses will be a little in excess of $6,000. Had the weather been, favorable there probably would have been a surplus of between $10,000 and $15,000. Centennial officers are well satisfied with the financial results when they take the blunders of the weather man" into consideration.
