c oMPECLED RESTAURANT
MEN TO ADD NICKEL TO
BILL OF FARE AT THIS
AUSP CloUs SEASON OF

Restaurant and hotel proprietors
of Spokane have formed an asso.
citation to take care of their mutual
interests. This association has nc
designs in the matter of fixing
prices. Any member of it will as.

ing supplies, in order to get food
as cheaply as possible and thereby
benefit the man of large appetite
and thin purse.
Lately a card appeared in each
of the association restaurants. II
was not signed and few restau'
rant keepers could even guess
where 1t came from. The card
merely commanded that an extra
charge of five cents be added for
potatoes heretofore served with
orders, ION account of high prices,
etc."
VI oil
ton the card was mysteriously po-
tent. It just dropped out of the
sky on the astonished restaurant
man, and naturally he couldn't dis
obey such a heaven sent dispen-
sation. OF course, If it had come
in the guise of combination
scheme to extort another nickel
from the hungry, he would have
spurned 1t Indignantly. Under the
circumstances he couldn't do other
wise than to take the nickel.
Some of the restaurants in sur
passion adopted the course of CIV
ing the hungry man his choice Of
going without coffee or potatoes
and thereby keeping the customary
meal charge down to the old fig
ure. This is for the benefit of the
many who just now have little else
to do than eat and little enough to
pay for what they eat If they wish
to still further economic they
may dispense with. eating entirely.
No one would entertain the sus-
picion that the fact that few men
care for a meal without potatoes
Influenced the occult demand for
an extra nickel. And the occult
powers that dicker in potatoes
could not be expected to take I'M
der consideration the contrast or
souphouse movement and an in
crease of restaurant prices oper-
ating simultaneously in the same
place. The thting the occult
powers are after is that extra
nickel. Potatoes appear to be the
only source of it. hence the mys-
terious order.
The following officers of the as
sociation were elected last night:
President, H. l.. Bennett, vice
president, Frank Fowells; secre-
tary treasurer, F. X. Chapman;
executive board, j. w. Cakes, A.
Anderson, A. M. Merry, j. w E.
Buckley.
These gentlemen, however, must
not be confused with the occult
powers concerned with the matter
of extra nickels here and there.
