PREPAREDNESS
Whether or not you believe in preparedness in the sense that President Wilton advocates it, this much is certain:
The earlier you prepare for Spring and Summer needs the better will be your opportunity to save money. There are
sound reasons for this and they nvy possibly be of interest to you. We all know that prosperity is general throughout
the country, this creates a great demand for goods. We know too that restricted imports from foreign countries lessen
the supply and therefore cause advance in prices. We also know that dyes, the fast kind that you expect even in the
cheapest fabrics, are either cut off from our manufacturers or command unheard-of prices.
All of us are bound to see the effects of this sooner onlater but this will inform you that "Preparedness" has been
for some time a real live issue in our store policy. It has resulted in filling our shelves with a line of moat beautiful
Spring goods that will carry prices unusually low. We urge you to come in at your first opportunity and make a selec
tion while everything is fresh and in full assortment Let this idea of "preparedness" take hold of you plan and buy
your Summer wear now. We dare say that before the season is over you will be able to look back upon such a decis
ion with a great amount of pleasure and satisfaction for having saved money on your purchases.

club that has been heard in Pendleton
but certainly it has some feature
that recommend it.
The club numbers were very good
though it was plainly apparent that
the tenor section did not balance the
baas. A distinct departure from the
usual run of glee club programs was
the appearance of a lady among the
young men. However, after her first
number It was easy to understand
why Mas Evelyn Cox had been
brought aloaqf. She has a voice ot
unusual quality and rings with the
ease of a bird. Her solo numbers

Program and the singing of "Miser

Jean Gerkugh. tenor, supported by
the club, was one of the most am
bitious th'ngs any glee club has ever
attempted. Mr. Oerlough was also

Its findings In the probe Into the in
creasing price of gasoline. It con
tradicted the report that the avail

It was reported that there were more
than a hundred million gallons of
crude petroleum In February as
against seventy million In the pre
vious February. The department of
Justice will conduct the remainder of
the probe It will Inquire Into the
capitalisation, dividends, prices of the
Standard Oil Company's stocks.
whether higher prices were necessary
to maintain a normal standard of
profit and whether the state divisions
of the Standard Oil have illegal rela
tions, or are discriminating or stifling
competition.
The production of gasoline in Jan
uary. 1915. was seventy six million
gallons and last December was ninety
seven million gallons. Gasoline rose
nearly five cents a gallon last year
for the middle western refineries and
five and a half for the eastern re
fineries. Crude oil rose nearly twa
cents In those districts. In western
districts kerosene Increased one and
a quarter cents a gallon and lest
than a cent in the east, while fuel
