MEAT BOYCOTT IS PLANNED AS H. C. L, WEAPON Would Have to be National in Scope, Declares Ohio Attorney General. l OOLTJMBUS, O.. Aug. 5. Perhaps the solution of meat prices will bo found in a limited boycott on meat and meat products, according to AttoroejMJeneral John O. Price. This method of treatment would have to be national in scope and directed from !a oenttal point, he said. "Our Investigations now are under way. We shall find whether the prices ara held up through natural causes or t7" Understandings and agreements in violation of the law.

"If the prices are the result of com-

DlnaUons we can break them up If evidence can be gathered. Several reme

dies are afforded. May Revise Conservation. "If they are due to natural causes, then a revival of war-time conservaltlon would appear to be the only remedy. "But If the entire country should refrain for a time from eating meat I believe that the prices would tumble without further regulation. The same principle might be applied to other commodities upon which ecessive prices now are charged. "The club In the hand3 of the public might do more than all that the of: i ficlals could do. The further plana i along this line must wait for the rei suits of tho Inquiries now in progress." Unlock Storages. A third alternative, in the judgment ' of the Attorney-Oeneral, will be appropriate action to cause all those who 'have stored food for speculation to disgorge, throwing it on the market ;and letting the law of supply and demand regulate the prices. "There is no national emergency against which food must be stored," , Price explained. "The Federal Government U setting the example and there is no reason why others should not I follow. The food storehouses must be i unlocked and the food brought out and jsold. When the food is available the 'artificial prices will disappear." The Attorney-General is keeping in close touch with the 88 Prosecuting Attorneys and seeking to emphasize the point that storing of large quantities of food at this time is wholly beyond all necessity. If the force of public opinion could not unlock the warehouses, he added, other means should be devised by the public. This has been done In European countries, and the methods have not been of the gentlest.

Stretching across western Australia is a rabbit-fence, said to be the longest in tho world. It extends for a distance of 1,200 miles without a break except for gates.

Necessities Would Be Cheaper Here If BUI Should Pass Congress Richmond would be directly affected by a bill Introduced in congress by Representative George Huddleson of Alabama, which seews to restore the prices of necessities to their cost on November 11. 1918. General reductions would be made. Huddleson's bill provides for a War Trade committee to fix maximum sale, use and service price for all necessities, and asks for an appropriation of $1,000,000. As necessities, he includes food, clothing, rents, building materials, furniture and transportation. Henry Farwig, local restaurant owner, says the bill Is impracticable and could never be applied, but If prices were to depreciate to the scale prior to Norembed 11, 1918, the average would be about five cents on a meal cheaper. ..Little Change In Clothing.

Loehr & Klute, local clothiers, say there would be little difference In prices for immediately following the armistice men's clothing dropped in price and is now about the same level as then.

Oren A. Miller, of the Miller-Kemper company, says that lumber for least 30 per cent since the armistice, and if the bill passed the present price would revert to that scale. Lime and cement as building material, have made no increase in price. The average increase in furniture has been about from 25 to 30 per cent. Several causes can be attributed to the advance in furniture, among them the fact that furniture factories have cut their output, owing to the reduction in the working hours and the fact that a great many have taken up phonographs. Labor, however, is the chief cause for the advancement.

SIMPLE NAME IS SUGGESTED FOR WAYNE LEGION

Owen Scancy, of Fountain City, suggests that the local post, American legion, be known simply as "Wayne American Legion," or "Wayne County Legion." "Every man, woman and child," says Scancy, "knows and rejoices at the bravery, the patriotism, the gallantry.

the knighthood and the loyalty of the

American soldiers, sailors and marines. They don't like to be showered with names that they associate with royalty. These simple words will bring the same thought of greatness and of simplicity." Conquerors of Pruselanlcm.

"Wayne's Conquerors of Prussianism," is the suggestion made for the local post by Mrs. V. E. Miller, New

Paris, Ohio. "I suggest this name because they helped conquer Prussianism and made the world Bsjte for democracy," says Mrs. Miller. Mrs. S. T. Voorhees, 2018 Main street, suggests for the past the name of Wayne's Renowned Winners," embodying the initials of William Romey who offers the prize for the best name. Mrs. E. W. Doddridge, of Brownsville, suggests the name of "Wayne Permanent Peace Winners," because they fought for lasting peace.

Earlham Favored by Young Friends For 1920 Meeting Was Ideal, Their Opinion Despite invitations from Penn College, Oskaloosa, Iowa, for the 1920 Young Friends conference extended to the Young Friends at Earlham last week, sentiment favored Earlham. No decision will be reached until the executive board of Young Friends meets next January. Delegates said Earlham had been Ideal in a vast number of respects, and aside from the lack of a lake or large river for swimming and boating,

offered nearly all the qualities for a

summer outing. Health conditions at Earlham were admirable. Final summing up of the finances of the conference show that 318 persons were enrolled for the ten days

and that a large number of transcients from Richmond and other near by towns attended sessions of the conference. The treasury will break

Superior Features of the NORTH STAR REFRIGERATOR One and one-eighth inch wall of Granulated Cork, the best known insulating material, is packed between two walls of vermin-proof sheathing. Air flues allow the freest possible circulation of air, filling the food compartment below and forcing the warm air up through the flues at the end of the ice chamber. Double walls are used in the ice chamber to prevent condensation of moisture on the surface exposed in provision chamber.
