' PRICES ARE REGULATED COST OP" FISH IX CALIFORNIA CITIES IS FIXED BV COMMISSION. Food Administrator Says Plan Adopted In California Ia Most Efficient System In America. At San Francisco and Los Angeles there has been worked out in the sell ing of fish one of the most original and efficient price-fixing systems now in operation in the United States, in V? ODinlon ' Assistant Federal Food Administrator W. K. Newell, who has received from the State Market Com mission of California a detailed out line of the plan. The first thing done by the Califor nia Market Commission was to work out a series of percentage tables, al lotting to fishermen, wholesalers and retailers the respective proportions of the consumer's dollar each shall re ceive. These percentages vary, de pending on whether the fish is sold "in the round" or is cleaned and be headed by wholesaler or retailer. Careful attention is paid to the law of supply and demand in fixing prices for the consumer. A deputy of the State Fish Exchange every afternoon visits each wholesale establishment, taking an Inventory of the amount of fish held over. The deputy then visits the docks and makes an inventorv of the catches of the day. These combined data, showing the visible supply of fish for the following day, are in the hands or tne price-fixing committee, which establishes cost figures for the ensuing day. The wholesale prices are sent to the dealers by 3 o'clock each morning. The California official says this sys tem of price regulation has proved quite satisfactory to fishermen, dealers and consumers. BUY OVERCOATS NOW.

As evidence of his contention that he has undergone a reformation, his let ter Is written on T. M. C. A. stationery that was furnished the Canadian forces. On the strength of his change of heart and his record as a soldier, Draucker says he expects to return to this state and apply to the Governor for a full pardon. Draucker's letter to Mr. Minto fol lows: "I had booking at your hotel for from one to 10 years. I left rather suddenly and went to Canada. I en listed, in the artillery and came over seas. Was in France seven and one- half months and was gased at Lens last June. I am in a convalescent hospital now. May get my discharge and return to America. "I don't flatter myself when I tell you I made a nice getaway. Guess you all realize it. Well, I am a reformed man now and will expect a. pardon from the state of Oregon when I re turn. 1 have done my bit and think am entitled to a pardon. I have killed a great many Germans. "At the time I was with you my name was C. H. Draucker, and I think my number was 7365. I have a number now. but. thank God. it is an honorable one. I suffered tortures when you had me In the 'hole,' but. I tell you. I have gone through things in France far worse, and my health Is gone. Give my regards to all the unfortunate boya. for have often thought of them. Yours sincerely. C. H. DRAUCKER." P. S. I didn't enlist under this name.
