SEASONS
CHANGE
NT PRICES DOII'T
Housekeepers Find Staples Cost as
Much Now as in Winter, and
Th&c Is Always an Answer When
Consumer Asks "Why?"
Tho housekeeper, who lc tho win
ter cherished a hopo that in "tho
sood old summer tlmo" tltoro would
come a loosening up of prices in such
staples na butter, eggs, flour, ba
con, etc., cherished the hopo in vain.
IFor rears sumuer prices havo been
lower than thoso that were paid when
tho hen-coop atmospheric conditions
-were registered at 20 abovo nnd tho
jasturago was under three inches of
enow and ico but today there is very
little difference in tho price eggs
that last winter cost two dozen for
I5 cents, or 45 cents a dozen for
fancy, are today 40 and 45 cents a
dozen at a reputablo downtown pur
Toyors. Butteh at tho samo place is
45 cents a poi nd, or S5 cents for a
two-pound roll. In tho winter it ran
to 95 cents a roll on some occasions,
iut was often quoted at the samo
jirlcca -which prevail in mid-August.
Flour of nataxe brands is high,
41.65 for 50 pounds, wbilel tho Esat
crn or Minneapolis brands bring
42.25. And br.con, Uncle Rastus! I
.am 45 cents a pound, and likely to
so higher! Last winter It sold for
35 cents tho best eastern pack. too.
I may be eomme scomfort to the
housekeeper tno hear tbc reasons
advanced fo all this. The eggas are
3ilgh, so tho dcaelers say, because
4he packers, the cold storage men, are
luylng up everything that the indus
trious hen lays. You will buy sombc
.f these mid-August eggs at Christ
inas time at a still further advance.
"SThcn, olf course, the flour is high be
cause there will be a shoit.go In tho
wheat crop and the buttei is high
because tho country Is dry, and the
JSacon is hih because pork is high,
And pork is high because so many
jeople want it, and the reason there
.are so maiy people Oh veil, what's
the uco? It Is an endless chain, and
the fact remalis that prices are on
the climb and there Is no hint at a
'.diminution.
WILL TRY TO READJUST
PACIFIC COAST RATES
WALLA WALLA, Wash., Aujj. 20.
To readjust, if possible, the rates
an wheat from the Pacific coast to
Hie east, officials of the trans
continental railroads which drain
the throe northwestern states will be
invited to attend a conference in
IValln Walla with the officials of the
Partners' unions of Washington,
Idaho and Oregon.
Just when the conference will bo
icld has not been determined, but,
according to President II. II. 31c
Xean of the Farmers' Union, tho in
vitations will bo issued within a few
days.
The present freight rate on wheat
is 30 cents a bu&liel to the Missouri
liver, a price the fanners think too
high. They point out that owing to
erop failures in the middle weet,
there will be much moie chipping to
the cast if the roads will reduce the
xates.

Make Every Dollar Worth
More Than a Dollar!
An educated ad reader will never be poor.
To "know advertising" is to have a prac
tical knowledge of values of things of
when and how and whore to buy. No one,
having and utilizing such knowledge, could
ever be unthrifty, or in any sense careless
or reckless of expenses. For such knowl
edge makes for thrift for saving. It makes
one proof against shams false values
manipulated reductions.
Tho intelligent ad reader uses as much
thought and ability in buying things as is
required in earning the money that is spent
for them. And that amounts to a substan
tial increase of the value of every dollar
of the family revenue!
