General Trade Conditions.

Bradstreet's says: Speaking in a
general sense, industry is sold up for
months to come, scarcity of materials
is patent, demand is apparently insa-
table, regardless of prices, and the
country is confronted by an extraordi-
nary situation.
Buyers excursions to the larger
metropolitan cities have brought in an
army of visiting merchants, the result
being an active demand on jobbers for
textiles, with interior merchants buy
ing freely because of concern over
probable lack OF desirable supplies
later on, and in numerous instances
this feeling is manifested in requests
for prompt shipments of goods re-
quired for use this spring, which fact
also evidences the existence of light
stocks in the hands of final pur-
veyors.
Dun's Review says: Less depend
ence is placed upon foreign business
as internal demands show further ex-
pansion. War contracts still bulk
large, but strictly domestic require
ments are an increasingly potent fac
tor and provide a more substantial
basis for permanet progress. Circu-
lation of money is rising rapidly and
in spite of high prices, consumption
steadily broadens, the strengthened
financial position of the people making
sustained buying possible.
Except in the speculative markets
pressure to sell is conspicuously alb
sent, as productive forces continue
overtaxed and full capacity operations
are assured for months to come, un-
less labor troubles interfere. General
requests for prompt shipments indi
cate the urgency of current needs, but
specified deliveries are made with diff
ficulty and railway facilities are being
extended to adequately cope with the
rush of traffic.

Grain, Flour and Feed.

Wheat-The wheat market is in a
very uncertain condition. Owing to
transportation facilities the movement
is considerably restricted, and while
the prices are about the same as last
week, about the only movement to-
ward the coast is in the line of blue
stem.
Other varieties are getting consider

ures close to coast prices f. o. b. Spo-
kane. Quotations at the moment are

Flour-No recent price changes
have been made in flour, and the mar
ket is steady and firm at present
levels. The outlook for lower values
is not very bright at present and bust
ness. is still done on hand-to-mouth
basis.
Feed-The firm situation in the feed
market still prevails. This is espe-
cially true of hay, as it is extremely
difficult to secure supplies. Millfeed
is also firm, but no further advances
are indicated for a time at least.

MAKING THE BEST OF BEANS
Way That They Were Prepared GEN.
Grafton Ago VIII Be Found Har1
to Improve Upon.

In the Woman's Home Companion
the cookery editor devotes a page to
good old-fashioned dishes. A dozen
recipes are given for dishes that were
popular a generation ago. The editor
says that these dishes are not on the
tables of the housekeepers of today
chiefly because carefully written rules
for their preparation are seldom found.
Following is recipe given for Boston
baked beans:
Pick over three cupfuls of pea
beans, cover with cold water and soak
for several hours. Drain, put in stew
pan, cover with fresh water, heat
gradually to the boiling point and let
simmer until skins will burst, which is
best determined by taking a few beans
on the tip of spoon and blowing on
them, when skins will burst if sufh-
GENTLY cooked Drain beans. Scrape
three-fourths-pound piece of fat salt
pork, remove a one-fourth-inch slice,
and put in bottom of bean pot. Cut
through rind of remaining pork at one
half-inch distances. Put beans in pot
and bury pork in beans, leaving the
rind exposed. Mix one tablespoonful
of salt, two tablespoonfuls of sugar
and two tablespoonfuls of molassCs.
Add one cupful of boiling water and
pour mixture over BEANS then add
enough boiling water to cover beans.
Bake in a slow oven eight hours, I'M
covering the last hour of the cooking
that the rind may become brown. Add
more boiling water as needed"

Asks Jobless Insurance.

Washington. A proposal for a
commission to formulate a plan for
a national insurance fund and miti-
gate the evil of unemployment has
been introduced by Representative
London of New York, the only social
list member of the house. Five per
sons appointed by the president would
work out details of a national insur-
ance fund to secure to workers ade-
quate subsistence while involuntarily
unemployed, whether because of lack
of work, sickness, or old age, and
would report the plan to the presi-
dent next September. The resolution
proposes providing employment by the
department of exploitation of national
resources.

BRITISH OWNERS START
SUIT TO GET THE "APPAM"
Prize Ship Captured by Germans Is Up
for Another Argument.

Washington. - A libel suit institut-
ed by British owners of the liner APP
pam to recover the ship from the
German prize crew that brought it in
to Hampton roads is expected by state
department officials to result in prize
court ruling that will clear away many
perplexing features which have con-
fronted them in dealing with the case.
With Germany asking that, as a
prize, the Appam be allowed to remain
indefinitely in American waters, I'M
der the Prussian treaty of 1928, and
Great Britain insisting that the liner
must be restored to her owners, under
The Hague convention of 1907, depart
ment officials would welcome a judg-
ment by a competent tribunal, not on
ly for guidance in the present case,
but as a precedent for the future.
The department, in the absence of
such a precedent, has held tentatively
that the Appam is German prize, but
never has passed formally upon Ger
many's request that the vessel be al
lowed to remain indefinitely in our
waters. A reply to that request now
is in course of preparation and indi-
cations have been that it would be
granted. 1t is said, however, that the
response might wait until the prize
court had acted

RULES OF THE HOUSEHOLD
One Woman Writes Out What She
Wants Done and Thereby
Gets Results.

"The reason that we, as homemak-
ers, are obliged to put up with UNI
skilled and inefficient assistance is be-
cause we do not do our share in train
ing the raw material" said Mrs. Good
Housewife with some emphasis. Sup
pose the great factories where emf
grant labor is employed should be run
on the system which prevails in so
many homes? Suppose the employer
should say, oh, dear, I just hate to
train green hand! 1t takes so much
time, and is such a botherl
What sort of a product would that
factory turn out? How long would that
employer be able to stand the competi-
ton of other factories where a differ
ent method was used? Personally L
believe in concrete rules. If a new
helper can read a list of definite direc-
tions, or in the case of inability to
read, have them read to her. they are
fixed in her mind much more effectu-
ally than the same suggestions re-
peated in varying language.
Il have known girls who would re-
sent being told things over and over,
learning this little list by heart, and
taking a real pride in living by it's sim.

Not One-Third of Afflicted Persons

Washington. - Hore than 500 lepers
at large in the United States consti-
tute a menace of serious possibilities
unless proper steps for segregation
are taken, in the opinion of physicians,
nurses and others who testified before
the senate health committee in sup
port of bill to establish a national
leprosarium.
The witnesses, all of whom had
made extensive personal researches on
the subject, agreed that the 800 per-
sons under treatment in the country's
three state or municipal leper asylums
included a lesser part of the total of
those afflicted. They declared that the
disease was rapidly spreading; that
the danger of a serious epidemic was
real, and that segregation was the first
demand in the campaign against it.

THE ENEMY.
CITY OF ERZERUM CAPTURED
Germans Make Vigorous Campaign
Against British and French Along
User Canal in Belgium, North of
Ypres-French Gain.

London.-The Russian army which
captured Erzerum is endeavoring to
cut off the retreat of the Turks. Along
the Black sea coast Russian battle
ships are harassing the enemy, and the
northern wing of the victorious army
has captured the town of Wide and
is driving the Turks in the direction of
Gumish Khaneh, on the road to Ire
bizond.
Russians are moving westward from
Erzerum with the object of cutting
off the Turkish troops before they can
reach new line of defense.
British Trenches Taken.
The Germans have been operating
vigorously against British and French
along the User canal in Belgium to
the north of Ypres. From the British
$50 meters of a position were captur-
ed and held, despite efforts to recap
ture it. After a heavy bombardment,
the Germans attempted to cross the
canal and occupy French positions,
and several groups did succeed in
making their way to first-line trench.
The French, however, Immediately
drove them back.
The British to the south of Loos in
a lively engagement succeeded in
making an advance to the edge of a
mine crater held by the Germans.
French Hit Foe Hard.
The French in Champagne, between
the Mouse and Moselle rivers and to
the west of the forest of Apremont
have bombarded successfully German
positions, while in the Argonne forest
a mine exploded by the French shat
tered the German works.
Only isolated engagements have
taken place on the Russian front. On
the Austro-Italian line the artillery
duels continue.
Continuing their advance in Albania
the Austro-Hungarians report the cap
ture, near BazarSjak, short distance
northeast of Durazzo, OF an advanced
Italian position. This is the first in
dication that the Italians were operat
ing so far north In Albania, the belief
having prevailed that their activities
had been confined to the locality ad
jacent to Avlona.
That progress is being made by the
Teutonic allies in the direction OF
Avlona seemingly is shown by the re
port that the Albanians who are fight
ing with them have occupied the town
Of Berat, situated about 81 miles to
the northeast of Avlona.
