LAST SATURDAY I'Oi'ATOKS WKRK yl'OTl'.D AT $1,811 I.F.SS l'K.R HIXDRKI) POINDS IN CHICAGO THAN OX THH I'RK fl'.DING DAY. HIGH PRICES WERE PAID HERE It Is the Prediction of Itoselmi Dealers That Potatoes Will Not tio Any lamer Fanners I rgod to Sell. The potato crop of the United State Tor 1916 was about '.(0 per cent short. This naturally caused this product to go up. causing specu lators to buy in vast quannltics for storage and causing farmers to hoard the potatoes in their winter pits. The big advance in price caused potatoes to become a luxury to many families with the natural result that consumption for the entire United States automatically was cut in half. KestaurautH and hotels over the land quit serving potatoes with regular meat orders without extra charge. The situation, then, was an abund ance of potatoes at. all almost fabu lous price with nobody buying. The crisis was reached Friday. Tho loss to runners who held their produce for higher prices was clearly shown when the slump In the potato market came Saturday. Last fall most farmers of Douglas founty could have got two cents a pound for their potatoes and then could have avoided all loss by shrinkage, rot and sprouting. For the last several days many farmers were begged to sell for three cents, but to little avail. The growers wanted more and con fidently expected to get more. Hut the bottom fell out and now large lots will bring less than two rents, to figure nothing of the loss since last fall by shrinkage and rot.

We did all we could do Saturday and today to take care of the big crowds This Sale of ours is turning out to be a regular whirlwind affair in literally sweeping people off their feet. But nevir before in recollection of any body, have Men's Goods been sold at such prices. Considering that every kind of merchandise is higher then formerly and especially the popular priced end of it, this sale is meeting with bigger support than any previous one. But people are wise and well posted these days. Most of them know a good thing when they see it; and they realize as never before, that prices on clothing are climbing up right along. had we not bought the Fisher stock of Men's Goods, thjs sale could never have taken place? the prices at which we are selling stuff now, are not to be had again. So lay in your supply right now, and save all you can. to them.
