and that he took this means «»f heading
off any such efforts, which might most
mischievously affect the general situation.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. ll.-The
broad comprehensive investigation of the
high cost of living ordered by President
Wilson will get under way without delay.
Both the Federal Trade Commission and
Department of Agriculture, which will con
duct the probe, begun today to receive
suggestions us to Hues of Inquiry to be
followed. It Is probuble that during the
ouilng week the President will receive
SEEKS ARMY T1SP0BTS
estimates to be transmitted to Congress,
demanding funds to finance the inquiry.
A suggestion as to finding out tue rea-
sons for the high cost of <>f bread came
today from Representative Ralney of 1111
nols, in the form of a letter to Secretary
of Agriculture Houston,
"1 suggest," said Representative Ralney.
"the calling of tho following men to testify
aw to what they know about a concerted
effort to put up the price of bread: Paul
Schulse, the millionaire baker of Chicago; I
s. F. McDonald of Memphis, president of
tlie National Master Bakers' Association:
J. M. Bell of Chicago, secretary of that
organisation; John Llnd of Minneapolis,
attorney for the wheat millers; the editor
of the Modern Miller of St. Louis. I sug
gest calling these men because at the con-
vention of the master bakers in Salt Lake
City last August, Mr. McDonald announced
'a Nation-wide move would be inaugurated
at once by the advertising and publicity
department to educate the public to a 10-
cefit loaf.' Sure enough, the first announce-
in* nt to that effect was made by the
Xchulzc Baking Company <-f Chicago a
short time after the convention."
Ralney declared that the Bakers' Asso-
ciation was fighting the pending legists ,
tlon designed to repeal the tax on "mixed"
flour, which meusure, he said, would tend
to reduce bread prices.

WASHINGTON, D C\, Feb. 11. The
Federal Shipping Board has taken Its first
practical stop toward rehabilitation of
American marine commerce by asking
President Wilson to turn over to It idle
urmy transports for service in the coast-
wise trade between Atlantic and Pacific
ports through the Panama Canal. In a
letter to the President made public today,
Chairman Denman points out that nearly
all of the American built vessels which
have been plying In this trade have been
withdrawn for more profitable charters or
sold to foreign flags and asks that avail-
able vessels that em» be spared from mili-
tary uses be transferred to the board at
the earliest possible moment.
Tho board seems particularly desired to
get certain obsolete foreign built transports
which the War Department has been au-
thorized to sell. There are two such ves-
sels, the Maede and Crook. The Crook,
of 4,800 tons, Is being used in connection
with the Alaskan railway and the Meade,
of 5,400 tons, is idle at Newport News

FOR a few minute* at least, we may profitably pause, to
give our thought to this great American citizen, whose
birthday is a National holiday—
Abraham Lincoln
He personified service with-
out servility: gentleness with-
out weakness, force without
violence, courage without
rccklessnes*. caution without
fear. He was, for his time
and for the great duties laid
upon him. the first American.
We men and women of to-
day have no such responsibil-
ities as his; but we have our
own work to do and our
own duties to perform: »nd
we can acquit ourselves of
these things in the same spir-
it as Lincoln's.
That's our aim and ideal for our business, as we hope it is
yours in your work, whatever that may be.
