P
FACTORIES ARE NOW PAYING 31c
PER POUND FOR ORDINARY RAW COTTON
And cotton dealers predict that it will be selling at
40c before next July. .
Practically all cotton goods now in Salem stores
were made from 18c cotton.
You can judge for yourself what pi-ices will be
when the mills begin using 31c cotton.
The heavy stocks carried in Ralpm h
ji local merchants to keep retail prices considerably
fl below the current market duriner the bast 'three
years. As stocks bought at old prices become ex
hausted it -will be absolutely necessary to advance
prices to the new cost basis.
Every dollar's worth of merchandise you buy at
today's prices will bea good investment and save
you paying higher prices which must be asked next
year.
Invest All of Your Holiday Money in Useful Articles
Don't waste a dollar on unnecessary ornaments.
Present your family with a pair or two of
WOOLEN BLANKETS
They will be selling at double present prices six
months from now. The Government will use 80
per cent of all blankets during the coming year,
leaving only 20 per cent for civilian use.
We are still selling Silkoline and Sateen Covered
Cotton filled Bed Comforts at prices that were in
effect when raw cotton was worth 18c per pound,
just because we had a heavy stock on hand and are
willing to give our customers the benefit of our
favorable purchases. i
AH Linen Table Damask wiih Napkins to Match
Will soon be a relic of the past, but we purchased
several times our ordinary requirements when it be
came apparent that the war would restrict the out
put of European linen mills. You will still find a
splendid selection to choose from in our linen section
and the prices are just about one-half what would
be necessary if bought on the present market.
If you need Table Linens of any kind, buy them
now. AH cotton damasks will soon be as expensive
as the all linen damask now on hand.
January first will see a eeneral readi
i j wholesale prices in all lines of merchandise.
.
UNDERWEAR AND HOSIERY
Will be much higher and extremely scarce. Men's
Flannel Work Shirts and Heavy Loggers' Shirts are
selling now at prices based on 30c wool, but the pres
ent price of wool is 65c to 7oc per pound. It will pay
you to supply yourself for next year as well as for
present use.
Your Son or Daughter would appreciate a pair of
BUSTER BROWN SHOES
For Christmas. They are made over neat and com
fortable fitting lasts, designed to develop the feet as
nature intended. Don't cripple your children with 1
ill-fitting shoes. All Buster Brown Shoes have best !
selected oak tanned leather soles. The uppers are j
made from Vici Kid, Gun Metal Calf and Patent ,
JLeatner. Honest service in every pair.
SHOES FOR EVERY MEMBER OF THE FAMILY
suitable for any kind of wear.

Prepare for Great Stroke.
London, Dec' 12. The German high
command is .feverishly hastening its
preparations for some grer.t stroke on
the western front. Dispatches today re
ported vast forces being ma js.'d day and
night at various points along the Fran
co-British line. More Gorman airplanes
tnan nave been seen in months have
been aggressively seeking to spy out
British positions, batteries, munition
dumps and supply stations. Unusual
raiding activity, par. of tho s.inie ef
fort to obtain information as to strength
of front positions, developed all along
the line.
A perceptible k lessening of Teutonic
pressure on the Italian front was report
ed today. It served to confirm belief
here in London that considerable for
ces of Austro-Hungarian troops had
been switched from that theatre to the
west. Great oumbers of the Austrian em
peror's troops are reported already there
having been transferred from tho Rus-
sian lines.
The artillery duel nlong both French
and British fronts today was attaining!
a maximum of violence. I ho Germans
are assuming the initiative in this com
bat.
Repulse of a "local attack" north of
Lavacquerie yesterday afternoou was
reported by Field Marshal Haig today.
- He also detailed successful raids, in
which the British captured prisoners
and a machine gun in the neighborhood
of Pentruet and northwest of St. Quen
tin. Berlin's official statements frankly
admit a strong plan of reinforcement
of all west front positions.
