MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON. SUNDAY, AUGUST 21, 1010. 14 SEASONS CHANGE NT PRICES DOII'T Housekeepers Find Staples Cost as Much Now as in Winter, and Th&c Is Always an Answer When Consumer Asks "Why?" Tho housekeeper, who lc tho win ter cherished a hopo that in "tho sood old summer tlmo" tltoro would come a loosening up of prices in such staples na butter, eggs, flour, ba con, etc., cherished the hopo in vain. IFor rears sumuer prices havo been lower than thoso that were paid when tho hen-coop atmospheric conditions -were registered at 20 abovo nnd tho jasturago was under three inches of enow and ico but today there is very little difference in tho price eggs that last winter cost two dozen for I5 cents, or 45 cents a dozen for fancy, are today 40 and 45 cents a dozen at a reputablo downtown pur Toyors. Butteh at tho samo place is 45 cents a poi nd, or S5 cents for a two-pound roll. In tho winter it ran to 95 cents a roll on some occasions, iut was often quoted at the samo jirlcca -which prevail in mid-August. Flour of nataxe brands is high, 41.65 for 50 pounds, wbilel tho Esat crn or Minneapolis brands bring 42.25. And br.con, Uncle Rastus! I .am 45 cents a pound, and likely to so higher! Last winter It sold for 35 cents tho best eastern pack. too. I may be eomme scomfort to the housekeeper tno hear tbc reasons advanced fo all this. The eggas are 3ilgh, so tho dcaelers say, because 4he packers, the cold storage men, are luylng up everything that the indus trious hen lays. You will buy sombc .f these mid-August eggs at Christ inas time at a still further advance. "SThcn, olf course, the flour is high be cause there will be a shoit.go In tho wheat crop and the buttei is high because tho country Is dry, and the JSacon is hih because pork is high, And pork is high because so many jeople want it, and the reason there .are so maiy people Oh veil, what's the uco? It Is an endless chain, and the fact remalis that prices are on the climb and there Is no hint at a '.diminution. WILL TRY TO READJUST PACIFIC COAST RATES WALLA WALLA, Wash., Aujj. 20. To readjust, if possible, the rates an wheat from the Pacific coast to Hie east, officials of the trans continental railroads which drain the throe northwestern states will be invited to attend a conference in IValln Walla with the officials of the Partners' unions of Washington, Idaho and Oregon. Just when the conference will bo icld has not been determined, but, according to President II. II. 31c Xean of the Farmers' Union, tho in vitations will bo issued within a few days. The present freight rate on wheat is 30 cents a bu&liel to the Missouri liver, a price the fanners think too high. They point out that owing to erop failures in the middle weet, there will be much moie chipping to the cast if the roads will reduce the xates.

To "know advertising" is to have a prac tical knowledge of values of things of when and how and whore to buy. No one, having and utilizing such knowledge, could ever be unthrifty, or in any sense careless or reckless of expenses. For such knowl edge makes for thrift for saving. It makes one proof against shams false values manipulated reductions. Tho intelligent ad reader uses as much thought and ability in buying things as is required in earning the money that is spent for them.
