U. S. m GRIP or HIGH PRICES.
War Conditions and MonOpOIies Blam-
ed for Increased Cost of Goods
viii Become Worse.

New York.-The United States
is entering upon what is believed
to be an era of high prices. The
ultimate consumer, as usual, is the
victim. War conditions and So
called monopoly of markets are
blamed for the increase in the
prices of commodities. Retail
prices began soaring recently and
they are still ascending at such a
rate that no one seems able to
guess when the high level will be
reached.
Shoes, clothing, stationery, hair
brushes, pocketbooks, painted arti-
cles of all kinds, Photographic sup
plies, varnishes, medicines-nearly
everything that a man uses every
day-have increased from 10 to 80
per cent in price.
WAR STARTS INCREASES.
The rise in prices of raw materi-
al needed for military uses or Gus
tomarily imported from Germany
and Austria that occurred almost
simultaneously with the beginning
of the war was soon accompanied
by a rise in the prices of those do
mestic products which were substi-
tuted for articles withdrawn from
the market because of the war.
These increases affected only the
manufacturer and wholesaler at
first, for retailers had supplied
themselves with stocks at prices
that prevailed before the war.
When these stocks were used uT
and had to be replenished the re.
taller felt the price advance.
| As prices have been rising stead
| lily for months, with unprecedented
acceleration in the last few weeks,
| the prediction was made generally
today that the cost to the consum.
er of goods this spring would make
those purchased last winter lool
cheap.
PAPER AT HIGH MARK.
i Probably the most important
/ rise of all has been in the price O
paper. For consumers of large
quantities of paper conditions have
| been serious for some time and re
Gently even the smallest purchase
lhas had to pay his share in the
| general price advance.
/ With the price of analine color'
raised from 20 cents a pound be
fore the war to $40 pound when
Hast quoted, tinted papers have be
come very expensive and in some
cases unprocurabIe. Leathel
prices are away up. The prices d
all shoes will be materially highel
/ this spring than ever before.
Meat prices III New York hav'
taken 4 sharp upward trend Th'
cause is the unprecedented demans

Manager Of Strand Has Not Yet
Determined to Ask Rehear-
Ing for Film.
Or. M'KIM coRREcTs REPORT
Says He Approves Order Ex-
GLIDING Nude Women From
the Screen Here.

The question of making another at
tempt to secure a rehearing OF I he
merits of the film Purity" with a view
to its exhibition has not yet been de-
termined by Manager Tom Moore. OF the
Strand Theater. He states he wishes
to be absolutely sure OF public senti.
ment with regard to the exhibition. The
public supports him and his amusement
enterprises. he adds, and It Is the pub
lie will to which he will bow.
The Rev. DR.. Randolph II. McKim
who was one Of the men invited by
Manager Tom More to view the Aim al
a private exhibition yesterday and Who
was referred to as approving It from
an artistic standpoint, In a more ex-
tensive analysis OF the play states that
he believes that the principle that ex-
cludes from the stage nude and semi
nude living women should govern these
exhibitions of vivid and fascinating pic
turesEin a state of nudity just as life
like a. the ling person can be.
Letter to Manager.
In q letter to Manger More, DR.. Nc
Kim sets forth his ideas in this con-
nection.
I attended. as requested by you,
the presentation of the film called
Purity" although 1 could not
stay to the end. AS 1 left the
theater ! was asked by your rep
resentative what I thought OF II
and told him that aside from the
question OF its artistic merit and
the moral motive of the play l
nude and semi-nude women be-
fore an audience embracing young
me nand young girls.
The principal which excludes
from the stage nude and semi
these exhibitions OF vivid and fas-
state OF nudity-just as life-like
as the living person can be.
can only give my honest opin.
lon. and hope you will ultimately
reap financial success by exhibit
ing only such films as are not de-
moralizing to the young.
Objects to Portion.
The Rev. Father r. ]. Hurney, of
the Sacred Heart Church. who was
also one of those invited to view the
him stated that he had no doubt OF
the artistic merit and the moral mo-
tive of the MIN. ,r .A
rhe first part of II, that dealing with
the anegory, ne. thought was not a
proper thing to exhibit, and that the
stfpy the film. It was very clear in
his own mind. therefore. that the film
while highly Interesting to an audi
ence Of artists or poets, would not be
proper to show publicly. This state
mont he made supplemental to that In
which he stated he thought the film
Of high artistic merit.
Among the others who also spoke
highly of the artistic merit of the film
were Rabbi b. l. Grossman and DR.
4. Scheffernan. who were not included
In the list of those present originally

construed by the Government" Hines
said. 1.-The country has no voice what
ever In preventing or poatponlng a

BOND SALE PLEASES :
TREASURY OFFICIALS
Disposal Of Philippine and Porto
Rico Securities Above Par Is
Gratifying.

Treasury officials today are pleased
over the success Of the Government In
selling Philippine and Porto Rico bonds
above par.
lnasmuch as the Treasury after the
election will have to give consideration
to the Issue OF $3.50, 100000 bonds or
thereabouts, In order to help out the
Government revenues. the officials are
watching the bond market closely.
The sale yesterday was by the Bureau
OF Insular Affairs and involved $4,000, 900
Philippine per cent gold bonds and
100000 Porto Rico bonds. also per
cent. The National City Bank took all
the Philippine bonds and two Ohio firms
took the Porto Rico bonds.
While these bonds bear higher rate
of interest than the bonds which the
Government will sell. they rank less
high as securities. The bonds in both
cases, both those OF the Philippines and
Porto Rico, brought above par.
Bidding was brisk for the securities
Treasury officials see In this a sign
that when the Treasury gets ready to
sell bonds after election-these being
Panama canal bonds-it will have no
difficulty about It. and the bonds will
command a price above par. Also. II Is
expected there will be good demand.

has proven that the farmers are inter
ested in exhibiting grains and grasses
and with a successful stock show this
year it would be an easy matter to get
the district fair under way. It might
take two years to do this, but it can
be done, providing the proper interest
is shown.
Entries are now coming in rapidly
and even the eastern part of the state
is becoming aroused, and breeders
from the Red River Valley are plan
ming to come to Minot next week with
their prize animals. The breeders from
this part of the state will welcome
these entries, for it will give them an
opportunity to see whether they are
on the right track or not.
The Curling Rink is one of the larg-
est buildings in the state, and will be
