Convenient Parking at Rear of Store Roseburg, Oregon Wholesale Prices In Last 150IU-S- improves Years Rarely Stable More Than Few Months At Time By SAM DAWSON NEW YORK, July 19.-01 If you are confused today about price trends some going up while others come down and long for the good old days when they were always steady, you may be surprised to learn: 1. Wholesale commodity prices have rarely been stable for more than a few months at a time, in the last 150 years. 2. So far prices this time have fallen neither as Jerkily nor as far as they have after our other wars. 3. Some products important now In the cost of living played little or no part after previous wars, wnue some old star per formers are now retired from the scene. Many believe that the props which have been placed under prices in recent years win pre vent any such collapse as followed each previous war. However, u wholesale prices continue along the same path they took after the first World War, they are due to go still low er, on the whole, before starting up again generally. UI course, some prices have ad vanced already. Copper and lead in recent days have regained a fraction of earlier losses, and metal circles expect zinc to fol low suit soon. Textile prices are lime nigner in isolated cases. Wholesale . food and livestock prices are stronger now than they were a couple of months ago. Tne course of wholesale prices in America can be traced in the department of labor's wholesale price index, which economists have stretched back to 1800 by using historical data. How Prices Seesawed ' Retail prices show up in the de partment's consumers price in dex for moderate-income families in large cities, which slide-rule experts have been able to push back to 1820. Traditionally, retail prices have been much less er ratic than wholesale prices, ac cording to a study of the two in dexes to be published by the na tional Industrial conference board. During the first World war prices doubled, only to break in 1920 for perhaps the sharpest de cline in our history. They settled nnany at aDout two fifths high er than the 1914 price level. They were low again in the thirties but started up when war broke out in Europe. During this war, how ever, commodity indexes were based on controlled prices, Ignor ing the much higher black mar ket prices, and perhaps clouding the true price picture. Our changing ways show up In these indexes. Prior to the gay nineties the miscellaneous group In the wholesale commodity in. dex made up about one per cent of the total In weight and Import ance. Now it is 10 per cent. The main reason is a newcomer, tires, and the greater importance of pa per products. House furnishings and housing were the hardest hit of any group in the 1930's fewer young couples scraped up enough money 10 get married. Most important erouns of all in the indexes are still farm prod ucts ana xooas, out iney nave lost ground over the years relative to the other commodities. And build ing materials have lost almost half their former value in the in dex. Fuel and lighting, and the miscellaneous group are much more Important today as stan dards of living change and yester-year's luxury becomes today's necessity. $96 Billion Worth Of Fun Put On Tax Bills Of Cities First Time Since 1940!

Roseburg Girl Scouts Plan Camp Attendance Seven Roseburg Girl Scouts will attend Camp Low-Echo at Lake-of-the-Woods, near Medford, Lookout Near Greenland's Tip WASHINGTON UPl New in dications of quiet moves by the United States to improve its mil itary iookoui in tne far north have been disclosed in official quarters. Among the projects is work on a small naval operating base lo cated in a fiord at Grondal, near tne soutnwest tip oi Greenland. This little-known installation is used to provide limited repair and general supply service to ships operating in that area, the navy says. So far as is known, this is one of the most northern of the navy's secondary bases in the Atlantic and Arctic regions. Increasing emphasis is being placed on the possibility of air attack on the United States across the polar regions. Thus both the navy and air force have been intensifying efforts to main tain patrol of those regions. The navy, since the war. has begun building or conversion of ships and submarines Into spe cially designed radar picket craft. Their mission is to watch for strange planes stealing in across the top of the world. The worn oi tnese crait operating on ordinary survey missions along the lonely coast lines of the far north. Landing, craft and vessels uj to 50 tons do much of this coastal surve- work. The air force already has asked Congress for funds to build a net work of radar aircraft detection stations along the northern rim of the North American continent It also is seeking funds to im prove aerial navigation of its planes. from July 31 to August 6, accord ing to Mrs. Lloyd Nelson, secre tary of the Roseburg Girl Scouts Leaders association.

Soviet Explains Concealment Of "Inventions" MOSCOW, July 19.-(m Why are Russians Just beginning to assume credit for inventing ev erything from the steam engine to the airplane? Because the czars concealed the facts to please foreign capitalists, says the Soviet newspaper Trud, organ of the trade unions. Recent Soviet announcements that great discoveries and Inven tions previously credited to west erners were actually made by Russians will encourage Soviet patriotism and discredit the re gime that concealed them, the paper said. Further, said Trud, they will combat the "repulsive disease" of "sycophancy before bourgeois culture." ("Sycophancy" is defined by Funk and Wagnall's dictionary as "base flattery.") " Trud charged that Russian landowners and capitalists want ed to help western capitalists encourage the view that Russia was a backward country which must remain dependent on west ern Europe. Therefore, says the paper, they suppressed news of scientific advances in Russia. Now, Trud declared, a list of these inventions has become an effective means of combatting "cosmopolitanism" and theories of "Anglo-Saxon superiority," which the paper called dangerous weap ons of Anglo-American war In dividing recipes so as to make fewer portions remember that there are three teaspoons in a tablespoon and four table spoons in a quarter of a cup. If it is ever necessary to di vide an egg beat the yolk and white together then divide by spoonfuls; a large egg will mea sure about four tablespoons. ED'S LAUNDRY WILL CALL FOR A DEL. Fast Service.
