PARALYSIS
i
Ranger C. J. Ayres, of the Sawtooth
forest, has declared relentless warfare
on yellowjnckdts. His declaration to
exterminate as many of these insects)
as possible was brought about by an
experience that he had last fall while
actively engaged In fire fighting. Ho
had experienced a lively day in battl
ing with flames and, In returning to
his camp, proceeded to take a long
drink from his canteen, which, during
his absence, had been left uncorked. I
He experienced a "fluttery" feeling!
in his throat, and proceeded to expel :
the foreign object fr ni his. throat, but j
before his endeavor to clear his throat!
was accomplished, the yellowjacket !
had pierced one tonsil with a needle
like sting.
Ranger Ayres reports that his throat
Immediately swelled up. The trouble
did not cease here, however, his arms
becoming paralyzed and remaining In
this condition for four hours before
lie could make his way to his automo
bile and drive for medical assistance.
So he has declared open season on
yollowjackets. j

I the same proportion are of silk. lH

'JUL FOR PROFITEERS
REQUESTED BY CAPPER
Leather, Woolen and Steel In
dustries Denounced in Strong
Terms by Senator
I
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2-1 Jail bars j
for profiteers was urged by Senator
Capper, Republican, of Kansas, in an
address today in the senate.. Profit
eers, he said, are more dangerous than
"reds."
Advocating legislation by congress
to curb profiteering, Senator Capper
said the people could help themselves
too if they would organize to "boy
colt the profit-hogs by refusing to buy
goods offered at extortionate prices."
The Kansas senator declared there
could be no doubt that "the general
public is being sandbagged" in view
of profits reported by large manufac
luring corporations and the rise in the
value of their securities. He cited fig
ures regarding the American Woolen
company, the Central Leather com
pany, the Crucible Steel company, the
United States Steel corporation .and
other.
Referring to increased prices or
clothing. Senator Caapper read a tele
gram from the National Wool Grow
ers' association stating that the wool
in a suit of clothes selling for $100
costs only ?7.37. I
Price of Shoee. '
"A 50 per cent increase in the price
of shoes by next summer Is predict
ed by the president or the National
Shoe Travelers association," contin
ued Mr Capper. "The day tthis predic
tion appeared, anolhor extra dividend
was declared by the Central Leather ,
company. While the people contcm- I
plate going barefoot the leather trust ;
walks on velvet made thicker. A year
ago it was the war demand Tor leath- '
er that made shoes high. Now it seems
to be the peace demand for velvet. fl
"Just now the greatest ' 'get rich
quick' game in America is gouging in j
sugar. The Increase in the price of I
sugar will add a billion dollars to the
burden now being borne by the Amer
ican people.
Homeless People. 1 fl
"We haye -1,000,000 homeless peo
pic in the United States as a result of i jH
the melon cutting in lumber. There ' - fl
has been and is shameless profiteer- L
ing in that Industry. lil
"The market price of the farmers' '
livestock has declined nearly 50 per ,
cent, bringing many farmers to the f
verge of bankruptcy, but the high IH
prices the consumer pays for meat are jH
virtually unchanged.
"The income tax returns prove the
mine operators get excessive profits. IH
"All the Quotations I have referred
to conspire to prove that It is profl'
cerlng In tho gredt industrial corpora- 'jH
tions that has sandbagged the public,
rather than by merchants who deal di
rectly with the consumer. No doubt IH
there is price gouging by some of the , tM
retailers, but It is the price or goods
when they leave the iactory to which jH
the administration's best attention
should be first directed."
