Ask a member what is un- fair competition, he’ll parry with the plea that you ask him about some individual case. Complaints to the commission show that every sort of competition which can’t be met seems unfair to the man who can’t meet it; and the defenses offered indicate that anything goes in the rough and tum- ble game of business. In the new cafeteria stores in some places in the East, a man may go in, help himself and be checked out at the door. That makes it possible, say the merchants, to sell a 15-cent article for 13 cents. Grocers brand such competition unfair. Or take the chain-stores, buying in large quantities at cut prices, even on standard articles. Ordinary re- tailers faunch and cave considerably when they write the commission about these establishments. They tell about the big concern which sells a 20-cent article for 15 cents in one town and 25 cents in another, to crowd out a competitor in the 15- cent district. ‘“We're big and enti- tled to take advantage of our big- ness,” such concerns tell the com- mission. Then there’s the man who finds that someone is imitating his first class goods and selling slightly under his price; the man who makes a standard article and cannot keep some retailers from knocking a cent or two off its price to attract other trade. There have been approximately 100, types of complaints filed, ranging in merit from what the commission con- siders merely a case of more efficient | 11g. business conduct to a number of cases of down-right skull duggery. There are state court decisions on many cases, so that what is not fair in one state is o. k. in another. ‘Wherefore the invitation. If anyone thinks he knows what is unfair com- petition, will he kindly drop a line or two to the commission? RED CROSS SEALS. A Red Cross Christmas Seal costs only one cent. That’s not much, but it means much. Every seal you buy is a bullet in the fight against tuberculosis. It helps protect your country, your neighbor, your family and yourself from the disease and its cost. Tuberculosis is our most destruc- tive disease. One person out of every four in America who die between the ages of 15 and 50, die from tuber- culosis. It is a chief cause of pov- erty. But it is preventabe and conquer- able. This war, man against dis- ease, is a winning war—not a wast- ing war, man against man. It is the ! war that pays; it brings prosperity. Will you not enlist in this cam-' paign by purchasing Christmas Seals? PLAN RIDICULOUS. ! Everybody wants peace, even the people in Burope. - President Wilson is desirous of peace. No one will question ‘that he would gladly do anything that would bring about peace, especially permanent peace. But Presfdent Wilson does not think that the time is ripe for a peace move- ment. Henry Ford, who made his name' only in the manufacture, and who knows nothing about the diplomatic' affairs of the world, thinks that he can secure peace by ‘sending a ship| to Europe with thousands of people to see the rufers of the country. Such a move is ridiculous. But then he may be doing it just to advertise himself. INVESTMENTS IN ‘BEMIDJT By all reliable signs of growth Be- midji is’ growing steadily and with' healthful rapidity.

Large concentrations of Turkish troops are occurring in Bulgaria near the Ru- manian border and Austro-German forces are being moved across Hun- gary to positions threatening Ruma- nia’s flank. It is probable Germany’s announce- ment of the close of the Serbian cam- paign, while the Serbian main army is still intact, is due primarily to the necessity for threatening Rumania. The Serb forces have been driven from the Orient railway and German communication with Turkey is con- sequently established. But the work of subjugating southern and western Serbia still presents serious difficul- ties. Nevertheless, the German gen- eral staff has abandoned all efforts in those directions. The Serb arnries are capable of de- veloping strong counter-offensives, when properly reinforced, but it is apparent that the Teutons believe the possibility of Rumania’s entrance in- to the war is the more pressing dan- ger of the two. For this reason there is to be no further major fight- ing by the Teutons in Serbia while St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 30.—Evidence on the proposed increased freight rates on packing house products and fresh meats was heard by a repre- sentative of the Interstate Commerce commission in the 'Western Rate case hearing here today.
