RAILROAD MEN TO EAT
WAY INTO HOME OWNING
Cooperative Food Buying Concern Will
Invest Its Profits in Building
and Loan

Make your grocery bill buy your home
In other words eat your way into owning
your own home. That Is the plan of num-
ber Of railroad men, employees OF the Penn
sylvania and Lehigh Valley Railroads.
The new way to acquire home was out
lined by Isaac Roberts, of Swarthmore. one
of the founders of the Swarthmore Ma
tlonal Bank, at a meeting OF the Keystone
Cooperative Association, now in process Of
organization, in Old st. Paul's Church, 225
South Third street.
The scheme is fashioned after the Roch-
dale system of England Holders OF shares
of the association will pool their capital,
buy provisions wholesale and pay building
and loan association dues from the profits
of their purchases. The association is to
be incorporated under the Pennsylvania CO.
operation statute of 1887, providing for per-
manent shares at a par value OF IS which
cannot be withdrawn and ordinary shares
at the same price, which may be sold
Forty shares is the maximum holdng>pe
mitted
Those members unable to buy IS shares
will not be left out, for the association pro-
vides that purchases may be set aside at
one-half the usual rate untn the buyers
automatically become members. In order to
make the division of profits equitable, they
will be distributed according to the amount
of goods purchased. Those carrying their
goods home will receive rebate.

OYSTERS DUE FOR BOOST
IN PRICE; COLD THE REASON
of Bivalves Frozen in Shallow
Beds-Potatoes Going
Up

The ultimate consumer gets another kick
Oysters, as we'll as potatoes onions and
other veletables, have Joined the COM
moditles soaring in price.
Excessive cold weather that has blanketed
the Atlantic Coast so frequently during the
winter Is responsible for the oyster scarcity.
The freezes have penetrated the shallow
oyster beds and exterminatd millions Of
bivalves. B. II. Andrews & Co., oyster
dealers, announced that the price boost
would probably come today. Thew ex-
planned that many dealers have been hard
hit by the short market.
The potato shortage will become more
acute before the first of March, commission
men and produce merchants said today.
Quotations will advance to 1925 bushel
retail, an increase of twenty-five to fifty
cents more than present prices. Last year
they were selling for a trife less than a
dollar for the same Quantity.
Sweet potatoes are retailing at S125 for
f1ve-eights bushel basket Last year the
price was sixty to seventy1flve cents. The
| only ray of hope on the whole situation Is
the onion boost One hundred pounds for
ten dollars now; last year $3.50 for the

i queer dishes of foreign character some
thing alien 70 American cooking. But the
thrifty home-maker with knowledge Of food
values knows that spaghetti and the
rest of that famly--macaroni, vermicelli,
noodles, etc contain an exceptionally high
rate of nutrition because of their egg and
starch content,
Moreover, now that almost all foods
have leaped in price, the spaghetti family
is still low-cost food within reach of the
slimmest purse. And when you buy spa
ghetti you don't pay for any waste OF skin

Of the spaghetti tribe is the fact that 1t can
be prepared in such a large variety OF ways
1t can be cooked with meat or with cheese
II can be served plain, boiled with cream
or tomato sauce and It can even be cooked
with sweet favoring in pudding form.
ITALIAN MACARONI
Up to very recently there was wide
spread preference for the italian macaroni
and spaghetti, which are exceedingly tender
because of the high quality of wheat used
by the Italian manufacturers. But of late
American manufacturers seem to have
begun to appreciate the un-ouohed market
in this country and the domestic product Is
gradually being improved.
Here are two recipes for spaghetti--or
macaroni-which make the main dish Of a

One-half pound of macaroni, two pounds
