noon at the office in the City Hull of
Morrison Caldwell with Chairman A.
F. Hartsell presiding. The Instruc
tions and directions of r. S. Attorney
General Palmer, mid of State Food
Administrator Page were fully ex
plained and the work expected of this
committee fully discussed. In a short
time members of the committee will
call upon you for your invoices show
ing the cost of sIhm-s. clothing, meats,
sugar, flour, etc..' with a view to de
termine what is a fair price for the
several grades of shoes and other arti
cles of merchandise as well as for all
food products. We confidently expect
that the dealers and merchants will
receive these memliers of the Fair
Price Committee in the right spirit.
The Government is giving you the
chance to show your friends and pa
trons your cost prices without being
subjected to the annoyance of Secret
Service Agents. If you are wise I
think you will prefer your friends to
cold blooded detective. "Live and let

by the government to make a great
profit on anything than he did before
the world war. Higher prices may le
Justified but not higher profits. Please
have your Invoices ready so as not to
delay the members of our committee.
The only thing decided yesterday
was that under present locsl condi
tions the price of 12 1-2 cents per
pound for sugar w 111 be allowed hut a
higher price will be deemed profiteer
ing. The cltlsens are requested to re
