Mayor Iadaraea Celebratioa.
Mayor Baker, when asked last night
regarding the celebration, made the
following statement:
"Portland, like other cities in the
Inited btates, will express due appre
ciation of the heroic sacrifices and long
suffering of the people of the British
empire in the long war now brought to
a victorious conclusion. Too much
honor to the men and women of Eng
land who contributed the best blood of
the empire to crush Germany cannot
be paid, not only by the citisens of the
United States, but by the free peoples
throughout the world.
"The celebrations to be held In Port
land and other cities cn Britain day
should constitute a complete acknowl
edgement of the debt of the world to
England and Ita citizens and should be
whole-hearted and spontaneous. We
are bound by language and blood ties
with Great Britain, and when we honor
England on Britain day we should do
it in a way that will gladden the hearts
of those who owe allegiance to the Brit
ish government In this country and to
all its citizens."
At the proper time, the Mayor Inti
mated, a formal statement will be is
sued by him to the citizens of Portland
covering all phases of Britain day in
this city.

terms of the armistice.
WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES IN
FRANCE. Nov. 20. (By the Associated
Press.) While the Third American
Army is making its way beyond the
German frontier, other units slowly are
going back to their old training areas.
A greater portion of troops still is in
the battle areas, but many detachments
have reached the camps established
last year where there are ample can
tonments and hospitals and where large
supplies of fuel are available. Here the
men will be made as comfortable as
possible in well-heated huts. These
camps are located along lines of rail
way, which simplifies the transport
and supply problems. After their hard
ships In the Argonne, the troops will be
happy in their new surroundings and
will have plenty of food.

Price to Consumer for-Thanksgiving
Product to Be About 4 5- Cents
a Pound, Say Wholesalers.
With Thanksgiving turkeys certain
to be high in the country this year re
tail powltrymen will find It an unpop
ular move to charge consumers an ex
cessive prom. Thomas G. Farrell,
Assistant Federal Food Administrator
for Oregon, has issued a statement giv
ing the Food Administration's views
as to what margin the retailer
is entitled to. The statement says:
"For the next two weeks dressed tur
keys will be an Important factor in the
poultry market. The price of fancy
dressed turkeys at present cannot be
fixed with ' any exactness, as values
will depend altogether on the supply
reachlng this market within the next
few days. The Food Administration
wants to be fair with dealers In this
article, arid at the same time the public
expects to be safeguarded. The Food
Administration considers that any fig
ure in excess of five cents per pound
over cost for "cash and carry" atores
or seven cents per pound over cost
for "service and delivery" stores will
be unreasonable. The daily press in its
market quotations each day will pub-
lish prices such as retailers are com
pelled to pay.
The wholesale price of choice dressed
turkeys today is 40 cents. If this
price continues to the end, as the
wholesalers believe will be the cast,
the price to consumers should be 4
to 47 cents for the Dest birds. .
DISORDERS of the stomach and constipation are
the most common diseases of children. To
correct them you will find nothing better than
Chamberlain's Tablets. One tablet at bed time will
do the work and will make your child bright and
cheerful the following morning. Do not punish
your children by giving them castor oil. Chamber- i
Iain's Tablets are better and more pleasant to take.
