The other morning, to encourage one of the younger boys, we
stopped to have a shine. In the course of the proceeding he said,
"I guess we’l have to raise the price of shines. These bottes of
blacking did cost fifteen cents, now they are twenty”. Upon in
quiry it developed that there are six shines to a bottle and that this
raises the price or cost to the aperator less than one cent, a shine
The raise was to be five cents, from'fifteen to twenty. This is not
cited as a criticism of the boy, but as a sample of a common sort
of profiteering that is just now plagueing the American people. \n
article raises slightly in cost, and the selling price is advanced three
or four times as much, so that by the time the manufacturer, the
jobber, the wholesaler and the retailer have all had their three or four
ti emsadvance the consumer is paying an advance of nearly twenty
times’ advance the consumer is paying an advance of nearly twenty
an amendment is properly offered, and wasting time in other ways,
we suggest that a commission be legalized to take care of the people
in this respect and make it as impossible, for example, to advance
prices as it is to buy sugar, except under government control.
O.ur young men are going and will continue to go to France, until
about this time next year there will be at least three million on the
field of action, an army reflecting the American spirit that will not
stop fighting until the German army is destroyed or captured. This
will require vast stores, immense resources of transportation, a Red
Cross and a YM.C-A. three or four times as large and efficient as at
present, and everything else in proportion. This means that there
will be strenuous times in these United States; that we will have to
keep on being careful about our sugar, our coal, our meat, our grain
and a whole lot of other things. When it comes to the tugging
point and the pinch, we dare not lie down. We have confidence that
all our home and domestic activities will be well guided by those in
a position to suggest wisely ; the only danger is that the people may
be slow to see the vital necessity of some of the important things un
til it is too late and great damage has been done. Three things we
must do. keep the country producing plentifully, keep the products j
moving to where they are needed and keep the nation in a flann
cial condition to secure the necessary supplies. This means work,
save, give and invest as the government asks, not a little now and
then, but all the time and as a habit until this tiling is over
There i many a man, w ho, if he could be bought for what he is
really worth and sold for what he thinks he is worth, someone would
make a f rtune.

RED CROSS.
The Directors of the Lyon County
Chapter A. R. C. bared their refusal
to join the War Chest drive on the
following letter.
Pacific Division.
July 2nd, 1918.
Mr. H. S. Pohe,
Chairman, Lyon Co. Chapter
American Red Cross,
Yerington, Nevada.
My dear Mr. Pohe:—
Your communication of the 13th
inst. has been referred to me for an
swer, and l will endeavor to give you
a few of the National Red Cross ideas
as well as my own experiences with
the War Chest plan.
The American Red Cross by an Act
of Congress in 1905 was given pro
tection for its emblem and name to
the extent that any unauthorized use
of the words “Red Cross" or of the
emblem is a federal offense. 1 hat
law was designed so that the Red
Cross and its principles could’ be held
sacred, and any misuse of the -ame
could be prevented.
The Red Cross is an organization
that has been developing and growing
with perhaps greater rapidity than
any organization of its kind in the
world, aond there have been periods
in its growth during which policies
were not definitely established. 1 hir
ing such a period the War Chest plan
originated in a few communities, and
to the well-intentioned people inter
ested in it, it seemed to present many
admirable qualities. Several small
(communities ' at were temporarily
the Pacific Division

and this .
tin- War Chest
plan, : ... a me V* ar i and Committee
m ike allotments to the various war
relief activities as they see fit.
The various campaigns for the Red
Cross, Y. M. C. A. , Knights of C d
umitnis, War Savings Stamps, Bel
gian Relief, etc., are of great educa
tion. 1 value to the public, andtlie ap
■peal for support for these institu
tions is by necessity a guarantee or
assurance to the public that the funds
will be expended properly. It is of
a patriotic education 1 value which
is extremely important to the com
munity in furtherance of its interest
in the war, and which comes through
conducting separate campaigns. Cam
paign« are planned Nationally, $nd
the fervor and X-itional enthusiasm
is inp :n>- and should not be done
away with, sti-’h s i done by the
War Chest plan.
The Red Cr > as"! not permit its
name to 1 i 1 in - mu non with
any War C . t plan, as it desires
that the i. 1 Cross shall be placed
upon its iv. a t icrus- and not confus
e 1 v. i i: 1 var clief. Mf the
: '• ’ ■ d. ires
to ha', .i W tr Chest to tab C.O'C of
all activities other than the Red Cros
it of course, does not concern us, an
it might bt* that such a plan migh
well serve the necessities of your com
munity, but we insist that the Red
Cross be left entirely out, so that,
for instance, when a National drive
is made for funds for the Red Cross,
we conduct the campaign independ
ently and we must not be confused
with any general plan for rai'ing
funds.
1 have just completed a tour of all
of the Chapters in Southern Califor
nia in which 1 interviewed the Cam
paign managers and many of the com
mitteemen, and nowhere did I find
even a desire to organize a War
Chest, as the great benefit to their
communities by the education of a
campaign is so evident.
The San Francisco Chamber of
Commerce have just condemned thi
War Chest plan after sending a si>ec
ial representative to Columubs, Ohio
(where a model War Chest is in op
eration) to study it' operation am
effect upon the community.
I have gone into this matter to
help you appreciate the stand of the
Red Cross in this regard, and in or
der to make myself clear, I will star
that in any War Chest plan carriei
out in your section, the Red Cros
name must not be used in anj ad
vertising matter or in the solicitation
for funds, nor can the Red Cross
workers participate, as such, in any
so called patriotic parade which the
War Chest officers may organize.
VV e will look to you for an enforce
ment of this, and we fed sure when
our stand is made clear and our rea*
ons therefor are understood, the Ly
on County Council of Defens will
be very glad to exclude the Red Cros
front any War Chest plan.
i ours very truly,
Robert J. West,
Associate Director,
Bureau of Development
The Directors passed the follow
mg rgroldtion in (compliance with
the instructions in the le'ter and cop
ies have been mailed to all of tin

CENTERM EX:
At the regular meeting of the

i resolution was adopted.
"The Secretary will notify the Caun

ifv all of the branches and auxiliaries
in this county that they will be guid
ed in this matter by the enclosed
letter.”
At'any time that your body desires

action. V\c regret that our charter
does not permit us to join j ou in
