NO OPPOSITION TO ELLIOTT IN SIXTHD!8TRICT Opponent Withdraws from Contest in Forthcoming Primary. The following has been submitted: To the Kebublicans of the Sixth District: I. the undersigned, having recently announced myself as a Republican candidate for Congress from the Sixth Indiana District at the solicitation of numerous Republicans of the Distrtct and with the promise of support of a poodly number of voters of each of the several counties comprising same, hereby withdraw my name as such candidate for the following reasons: After carefully considering the matter of entering into the Congressional race and believing that probably the best Interests of our country demand that our present representative be not required to leave his official duties in Concress, and that the war work which I, in my official capacity, have to take care of in the schools and otherwisa throughout the county be not neglected, and recognizing that the finst great aim of all should be to help in th- great war problem that confronts this nation, I have decided to withdraw my candidacy against Mr. Elliott, as my entrance Into the race at this time would necessitate taking both his and my own time from the patriotic work that each cf us is expected to do. I am taking this action from a purely patriotic standpoint and I will not be a party to cause both my opponent and myself to neglect our official duties to carry en a political campaign In the Sixth District at this time. Respectfully submitted. CHAS. O. WILLIAMS.

LAUNDRY PRICES TO BE ADVANCED
Richmond laundries generally next Monday, April 1, will increase their charges 10 per cent. This step is taken to meet the higher cost of materials and is in line with action taken, or proposed, by laundries all over the country. From figures supplied by all the laundries on twelve items the increase in cost of materials to the laundry owner has been 105 per cent. This includes coal, nut and slack ind mine run. Taking these two items out of consideration, the average advance on ten is 100 per cent, divided as follows: per cent. Wheat starch 35 Soap 175 Wrapping paper Cotton twine 159 Corn starch 77 Canton flannel 92 Muslin 150 Cotton duck 100 Knitted cotton 50 Wool coverings 93 In discussing conditions in general. Iaundrymen without exception pointed out that by a great degree of co-operation the public could do much in meeting the desire of the government to lessen delivery service demands if it were made the practice to send soiled linen by the sa medriver who brings clean linen. Whila this seems a small matter to one household, In the aggregate, it becomes a matter of Importance. The laundries are confident, however, that with a little more education on the subject, the public will gladly co-operate in reducing the delivery service de mands.

A Frank Statement to the Public
Laundry Prices 10 Higher
In these days of HIGH PRICES an advance of 1 0 for laundry service will seem trivial.
We consider it only fair and right that we should show the people of Richmond WHY an increase in rates is necessary. Jlere are some of the increased expenses we are forced to bear:
The cost of other necessities has increased 50 to 100 and people take it as a matter of course because they know it can not be helped in most cases. Every reasonable person knovvs that increased prices are Necessary and Absolutely Unavoidable in these times. As the producer's costs increase there must be a corresponding increase in the price the consumer is asked to pay. This applies to the laundry business as to 11 other industries, except, however, that the user of laundry service is not now asked to pay AS MUCH extra for service as the laundries HAVE TO PAY extra for their supplies. Very serious problems confront the laundries just now. On the one hand our expenses have increased enormously, and at the same time hundreds and hundreds of our customers have joined the colors, thereby reducing our volume of business. We are seeking an EMERGENCY increase in revenue. We ARE NOT seeking greater profits. We are not asking for or even hoping for the usual peace-time profits. We are simply striving for sufficient revenue that we may continue our business WITHOUT LOSS IF POSSIBLE until normal conditions return.
1916 1918 Coal, nut and slack ... $1.70 to $2.00 $4.25 to $4.50 Coal, mine run $2.20 to $2.50 $4.75 to $5.50 Soap $6.00 $16.50 Wrapping paper $4.75 $8.00 Cotton twine .22 .57 Starch, corn $4.50 $8.00 Starch, wheat $7.00 $9.50 Canton flannel .65 $1.25 Muslin .09 .22 Vs Cotton duck .30 .60. Knitted cotton $1-90 $3.42 Wool coverings .75 $1.45 We also suffer similar extra expenses in the advanced prices
affecting hay, oats, corn, harness, gasoline, automobile tires, and even such items as boxes, buttons, office supplies, etc. Everything we buy costs more now.
Beginning Monday, April 1 st, there Will Be an Extra Charge of 1 0 on All Laundry Work The idea is to make the extra charge apply UNIFORMLY to all work, so, instead of adding one cent or fraction of a cent on various articles, the work will be calculated at present rates, and this emergency charge of 10 will be added to the total.
