13 WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 13, 1919 THE KINSTON FREE (N. PRESS. LEADERS PRAISE WILS'N'S SUGGESTIONS FOR HANDLING PROFITEERS AND PROMISE IMMEDIATE ACTION TAKEN Washington, Aug. and (gress will begin at once consideration at least of President Wilson's cost of living. Representative Mondell, majority floor leader of the House, said any request for money to make effective the campaign against profiteers would speedily be complied with.

Congress will grant all money needed, said Mondell. In addition I have no objection to extending the Lever Control Bill if that is believed essential. Senator Lodge, majority leader of the Senate, said I think the President made some good practical suggestions in regard to artificial, extortionate prices for the necessaries of life and I am sure Congress will deal with them at once. Wilson delivered a message to Congress Friday on the high cost of living which met with approval from all sides. He said in part: "I have sought this opportunity to address you because it is clearly my duty to call your attention to the present cost of living and to urge upon you with all the persuasive force of which I am capable the leg(islative measures which would be most effective in controlling it and bringing it down.

The prices the people of this country are paying for everything that it is necessary for them to use in order to live are not justified a shortage in supply, either present or prospective, and are in many cases artifically and deliberately created by vicious practices which ought immediately to be checked by law. "I need not recite the particulars of this critical matter; the prices demanded and paid at the sources of supply, at the factory, in the food markets. at the shops, in the restaurants and hotels, alike in the city and in the village. They are familiar to you. They are the talk of every domestic circle and of every group of casual acquaintances even.

the increase in the prices of the necessaries of life come demands for increases in wages- demands which are justified if there be no other means of enabling men to live. The laborers who do not get an increase in pay when they demand it are, likely to strike, and the strike only makes matters worse. "We must, I think, frankly admit that there is no complete immediate remedy to be had from legislation and executive action. The free processes of supply and demand will not operate of themselves and no legislative or executive action can force them into full and natural cperation until there is peace. There is now neither peace nor war.

"But what we can do we should do, and should do at once. And. there is a great deal that we can do, provisional though it be. Wheat shipments and credits to facilitate the purchase of our wheat can and will be limited and controlled in such a way as not to raise but rather to lower the price of flour here. The Government has the power, within certain limits, to regulate that.

"By way of immediate relief, surplus stocks of both food and clothing in the hands of the Government will be sold, and of course sold at prices at which there is no profit. And by way of a more permanent correction of prices, surplus stocks in private hands will be drawn out of storage and put upon the market. Foodstuffs can be drawn out of storage and sold by legal action which the Department of Justice will institute wherever necessary; but so soon as the situation is systematical: ly dealt with, it is not that the courts will often have to be resorted to. "Let me urge, in the first place, that the present food control act should be extended both as to the period of time during which it shall remain in operation and as to the commodities to which it shall apply. "I would also recommend that it be required that all goods destined for interstate commerce should in every case where their form or package makes it possible, be plainly marked with the price at which they left the hands of the producers.

"And it does not seem to me that we can confine ourselves to detailed measures of this kind, if it is indeed our purpose to assume national control of the processes of distribution. Itake it for granted that is our purpose and our duty. Sothing less will suffice. We need not hesitate to handle a national question in a national way. We should go beyond the measures I have suggested.

We should formulate a law requiring a federal license of all The Quinine That Doos Not Affect the Ween Because of its tone and laxative effect, TIVE BROMO QUININE ordinal?

LENOIR OIL ICE CO. WILL BUILD NEW 50 TON PLANT President F. C.

Dunn of the Lenoir Oil Ice Company gave The Free Press an interview Saturday which he sets forth plans for a new plant which will be erected by his company. The announcement of Mr. Dunn in part follows: "The Lenoir Oil Ice Company has considered for sometime installing ice making equipment in their old plant of sufficient capacity to take care of the demand for ice for the next year or two, but has now decided to enlarge on its original plans, and has purchased additional land upon which to build a new, thoroughly modern plant of 50 tons capacity. The new site acquired a portion of the Wooten property, situated on East King Street, if extended at the junction of Norfolk Southern and Atlantic Quast Line will enable the company to get independent sidings into its plant. "This plant is larger capacity than is now necessary.

even for the two or three months which covers the ice season in this community. The old plant is approximately 25 tons capacity, which will also be thoroughly overhauled and be kept in condition to be operated as an auxiliary. The product of these two plants will probably take care of the actual requirements of Kinston and the adjoining country for at least 10 or 15 years. This company has been the only one manufacturing ice in Kinston, installing a small plant of 12 tons capacity 18 or 19 years ago. About 10 years ago an additional freezing tank of 12 to 15 tons capacity was added, which gave sufficient capacity to take care of the demand in this territory up to this year.

"On account of the short season, and considering the large investment necessary to install and equip an ice plant, that particular branch of the company's business has never been very profitable. "The company has the satisfaction of knowing that during its it has at all times sold its products at a comparatively low price and has spared no reasonable expenditure necessary to give the best delivery service possible. The company bebelieves that the community as a whole appreciates this fact, and will continue to give the same support and cooperation as in the past, and those in charge of the company's operations wi'i -at all times appreciate friendly criticism and, suggestions looking toward improvement in their service. "This company is owned and operated by home people, who are thoroughly identified in every way with the community's best interests.

"I wish I could buy every old soldier a bottle of Tanlac, for from the way it has fixed me up I believe it would add years to their lives," said Frank B. Kendrick, a Civil War veteran living at 4800 Charlotte Avenue, Nashville, Tenn. "Some time back," he continued, "I had rheumatism so bad, and went down so fast, that it looked like I Was on the verge of a general breakdown and had about despaired of ever walking again.

Health About Gone Many thousands of women suffering from womanly trouble, have been benefited by the use of Cardui, the woman's tonic, according to letters we receive, similar to this one from Mrs.

Z. V. Spell, of Hayne, N. C. "I could" not stand on my feet, and' just suffered she says.

"As my suffering was so great, he had tried other remedies, Dr. had us get Cardui. I began improving, and it cured me. know, and my doctor knows, what Cardui did for me, for my nerves and health were about gone." TAKE CARDUI The Woman's Tonic She writes further: "I am in splendid health 'can do my work, I feel I owe it to Cardui, for I was in dreadful condition." If you are nervous, rundown and weak, or suffer from headache, backache, every month, try Cardui. Thousands of women praise this medicine for the good it has done them, and many physicians who have used Cardui successfully with their women patients, for years, endorse this medicine.

CHAMBERLAIN BRAXTON Senate leaders promised that Conof legislation to carry out a part recommendations for reducing the high corporations engaged in interstate commerce. "May I not add that there is a bill now pending before the Congress, which, if passed, would do much to stop speculation and to prevent the fraudulent methods of promotion by which our people are' annually fleeced of many millions of hard-earned money. I refer to the measure proposed by the capital issues committee for the control of security issues. "We must face the fact that unless we help Europe to get back to her normal life and production, a chaos will ensue there which will inlevitably be communicated to this country.

"We cannot hastily and overnight revolutionize all the processes of our economic life. "And I entertain another confident hope. I have spoken today chiefly of measures of imperative regulation and legal compulsion, of prosecutions and the sharp correction of selfish processes, and these, no doubt, are necessary. But there are other forces that we may count on besides those resident in the Department of Justice. We have just fully awakened to what has been going on and to the influences, many of them very selfish and sinister, that have been producing high pric-' les and imposing an intolerable burden on the mass of our people.

"I appeal with entire confidence to our producers, our middlemen and our merchants to deal fairly with the people. "I have no doubt that housekeepers all over the country, and everyone who buys the things he daily stands IN need of will presently exercise a greater vigilance, a more thoughtful economy a more discriminating care as to the market in which he buys or the merchant with whom he trades than he has hitherto exercised. I believe, too, that the more extreme leaders of organized labor will presently yield to a sober second thought and, like the great mass of their associates, think and act like true Americans. They will see that strikes undertaken at this critical time are certain to make matters worse, not for them and for everybody else. worst thing, the most fatal thing that can be done now is to stop or interrupt production or to interfere with the distribution of goods by the railways and the shipping of the try.

"We all involved in the distressing results of the high cost of living and we must unite, not divide, to correct it. "No remedy is possible while men are in a temper. and there can 'be no settlement which does not have as its motive and standard the general SKETCH OF CONFEDERATE VETERAN GEORGE RHODES (Continued from page one) men. I promised my comrades that I would crow if I was I let him crow, and I must say he could beat a barnyard. After a while we heard the hoot of an owl.

It was repeated three times and the prisoner said that his friends knew he was caught. "I was so proud of my capture that 1 tried the game over. That time I became a prisoner in truth. I was accused of being a spy, tried, condemned, and sentenced to hung at sunrise. General heard of the sentence and ordered a repriece until he could question me.

I often wonder it he took the trouble to spare me because he knew that the surrender was about to take place. "I was taken before Grant and he asked me questions that I do not think my superior officers could have answered. He ordered me to tell the truth. I told him I was no spy but I was willing to die for my cause. If he released me I would go (back and fight and would probably be killed anyhow.

Some one ed Grant a paper. He read it and told the guard to keep me near, he was not done with me, and would call me at any time. So I was kept SO near that when the two armies faced each other at Lee's surrender I stood quite near to General Grant and had the humiliating thought that my own friends might think I was there from preference." I asked, "Did Robert E. Lee hand his sword to Grant." "No," said Mr. Rhodes, "He did not touch his sword." This is only a part of the story of George Rhodes.

Born April 12, 1838, died August 8, 1919. He was the grandfather of the Rhodes boys whose record is worthy of a hero of the Confederacy. The National Bank of Kinston KINSTON, N. C. Oldest and Strongest Bank in the County.
