WOMEN'S CLUB MOVE
MENT ON PRICES

The Womans Club of Jackson
Vile Monday afternoon conducted a
meetin,. which was attended by rep
resentatives of leading whc lesale and
retail establishments in the city
with a view of ascertaining the rea-
son for the growing price of neces-
sites.
In the beginning this movement
had for it's aim the adoption OF meas
ures which might have the effect Of
bringing about reduction in prices
of certain food commodities.
In the larger cities of the country
the movement has taken on concrete
form It is the larger cities, how
ever. where manipulation is conferred
and the smaller cities have to abide
by the price dictates of the manipu-
lators of the greater centers. The
local merchants have TO accept these
prices because, just as the consumer,
they have to pay the price demand
ed In the larger cities boycotts
are being resorted to while the gov
eminent is conducting investiga-
lions. The more general these boy
colts become the sooner will the
prices go down, because there can be
no gain-saying the fact that a re-
duction in demand will have the eff
feet of lowering the costs. When
the demand is great it is natural for
the manipulators TO set the best
prices possible to- secure. When there
is no demand the manipulators will
have TO set prices which the public
is willing to pay.
The Metropolis is glad to see the
Women's Club of Jacksonville take
up the matter OF Investigating food
prices II isn't so much the good
that can be done locally in securing
immediate lowering of costs; 1t is
the effect it has nationally. When
every city in the country goes on
record against the exorbitant prices
and the demand is reduced, the price
makers will have to come across and
Jacksonville will feel the good eff
fects along with every other city
Jacksonville Metropolis.

A NOTABLE HOLIDAY SEASON

This is the holiday month. 1t is
bounded by Thanksgiving at one end
and by New Year at the other end,
and contains Christmas, the great
est of all holidays in its origin and
significance 1t means peace The
warrin,- nations of the world are
crucifying the Prince of Peace, and
violating the fundamental principles
of the Christianity they profess.
This nation never had greater &C.
casion for Thanksgiving than this
year of our Lord, 1916. Patience and
forbearance on the part of those in
authority kept us from war, and we
approach Christmas and New
Year with a record unspotted with
the blood of our fellowmen. No ma
ton can celebrate Christmas appro-
priately except when at peace
The closeness Of the last Thurs
day in November to the 25th day Of
MISUNDERSTANDING three holidays
within the period of one month and
two days-led many persons to hope
that, for the sake of the holiday
trade, tradition and custom might
be put aside for this year, and
Thanksgiving be moved week
earlier, so that the feasting festival
might come on Nov. %. The jewel
ers' board of trade in New York city
petitioned President Wilson to name
the earlier date. Several chambers
of commerce asked the same thing.
,meeC l.. ANJe SHRDLU HRDLR
But the old-fashioned custom was
observed, and the last Thursday in
November was selected. 1t seemed
most appropriate. Popular sentiment
is satisfied. Grouping festivals helps
to strengthen the festive spirit. Peo-
pie like to have good things come in
punches, and three holidays in thir-
ty-three days makes this season a
notable one in the calendar
The big stores are now in holiday
attire. Every available inch of
space Is crowded with Christmas
goods. In spite of the restrictions
on imported articles, due to the war,
the display was never more attrac-
tive, the assortment never more va
'ried. And as for prices the shoppers
will find them to suit all purses.
No other great nation this year
can have such Merry Christmas.

must be afflicted with some kind OF
a pest, and Arcadia is peculiarly un-
fortunate in the character OF her
special nuisance, which assumes the
role of the writer of threatening
anonymous letters. Missives OF this

prominent citizens lately. and the

thereby. Some OF those who were

PURE RICH BLOOD
PREVENTS DISEASE

Bad blood, that is, blood that is
impure or impoverished, thin and
pale, lis responsible for more all
ments than anything else.
1t affects every organ and function.
In some cases it causes catarrh; in
Others, dyspepsia; in others, rheuma-
tism;. and in still others, weak, tired,
languid feelings and worse troubles.
It is responsible for rundown
conditions, and is the most common
cause.of disease. {.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the greatest
purifier. and enrieher Of the blood the
world has ever known. 1t has been
wonderfully successful in. removing

Oregon University
Badly Defeats 0. A. c.

Oregon Agricultural College, Corval.
Us, Ore, Nov. 26.-There is no ques.
ton now of the University of Oregon 5
supremacy in northwestern football.
This was demonstrated yesterday after
noon on Corvallis field, when the Lem.
on-fellow handed the Oregon Agricul.
tural college 27 to o defeat the big
gest score that has been made BY
either eleven since. the memorable days
of 1899. In all the intervening time
competition has been so close that one
or the other has won by score of no
greater than II points.
After watching the state university
rip the Ageie line, circle the Aggie ends.
and pound the Aggie backs into sub.
mission, there seems little question but
that the Eugene school has rounded
out an eleven that can hold its own
in any company.
Shy Huntington Was Star.

noon, there is no telling what the
score might have been. Any time that
an eleven can roll up n points against
an opponent with the mud so thick
that the players are almost unreeog-
nizable, it must be great football
eleven. And any time that a back
field man can slide off tackle and
thread his way around an end for
enough yardage to make three touch
downs, he must be an extraordinary
football player,
Such is "Shy" Huntington. He did
almost as he pleased in sitting through
the Aggie line, which was the best lit
tie sieve this young Huntington of The
Dalles has tried shaking in many a
football day. Almost every time Shy
would give it vigorous wiggle, the
component parts would spread and he
would walk through for either yardage
or touchdown.
Line Men Share in Honors.
If "Shy" was racehorse the pre-
siding Judges would be barring him off
the track Those who saw the game
at Eugene against Washington remem-
Der that the aforesaid "Shy' looked
like the rankest mudder in the world.
He couldn't do anything. He must
have been saving up for Oregon s an
cient enemies.
"Shy" and his mates carried enough
yellow metal on their shoulders to pay
off the national debt, more or less,
and there was many whiskered
individual from Lane county who
backed the "spud'' money for the sea-
son on the university team, by heck.
"Shy" Huntington was, therefore,
the star of the game from the scoring
point, but he owes lot to the right
side of Oregon s line, Spellman, Bart
lett and TegartS for opening holes that
would have permitted Battery A and
all its mess wagons to parade through.
freshmen Absence Is Felt.
The other Oregon touchdown was
made by Captain Johnny Beckett. who
was filling in Johnny Parsons old
place at halfback. Johnny, it will be
remembered, was knocked hors de COM
bat by lot of professors who are dele
gated to uphold the sancticity of eligi-
bility in these northwestern states. The
Eugene undergraduates thought that
the absence of Parsons would hurt the
team, but what about the obsenee OF
that bunch of freshmen that the Ag
gies are banking on next seasons
There is no denying that the Aggies
would have made better showing
with Tuffy Conn, Beverly Anderson
Busch and Reardon in the lineup, but
the varsity might also have added a
little more strength with Steers and
Strowbridge ready to hop into the line
and fight the common enemy. The
Corvallis football mentors served W
the best they had against Oregon, and
are conten, to let the result stand

Rube Marquard, Giant castoff, was
