ODD-PENNY PRICES ON FOOD

Washington, Nov. I'm the present movement for reasonable profits CD staple foods the retail grocer will find many opportunities for readjusting his prices on the odd-penny basis. Sales of groceries have been hampered for years by the so-called round prices; that is, prices in even nickles and dimes.
 Odd-penny prices have been used to build up the sales of department stores and mail-order houses and are just as effective for the small retail stores.
 An interesting adaptation of the odd-penry price is being made by a cigar corporation to meet increas- ed revenue taxes on cigars, cigar cites. and tobacco. Articles which were formerly sold for 5 and ID cents are priced variously at 6, 1 s. 10, 12, and 14 cts. to maintain both the standard quality and size of package.

Aberdeen, Nov. 6.-Experiments recently made may result in the bringing to light of whale leather suitable for making of high grade gloves for ladies and the uppers for womeu's shoes. The leather from the whale comes from the skin which covers the whales stom- ach and intestines. At the re- quest of local parties several New firms have experimntd with the skin and found that 1t makes fine, pliable white leather.

INTERVIEW TELLS OF
 FARMING

The Alaska and Northwest Min ing Journal for October contains an interview with Charles Anyway, of Haines, regarding farming in the Chilkat valley. Mir. Anyway com ments largely upon the success of his berry crop at Haines and says:
 "one of the most important ele- meuts in the success of the berry crop at Haines Is the deep snow fall which protects the plants from freezing and keeps the ground warm."
 The writer of the article, John B. Marshall, also had an interview with Mrs. H. D. Clark, of Skag- way. who commented upon the ma ture of conditions here and said trey were substantially the same as those at Haines.
 Oh Labor Day MT. Marshall visit ed Mrs. H. Pullen's ranch at Dyea and says of it:
 Mrs. Pullen has thirty head of stock on the place, and has rais- ed a large oat and potato crop this season. The potatoes and an abund' ant supply Of fine butter, go to supply the bountiful table at the Pullen House, while the oats are used to feed the cattle during the winter. MT. Clark told me that in the skagway Valley he had raised hay which yielded over four tons of cured hay to the acre.
 50 far as I have been able to learn. there Is but one marked diff ference between conditions at Skag- way and Dyea and at Haines, 15 miles away, and that Is that straw berries in the former places are much more difficult to raise be- cause of lack of protection from snowfall. In all other respects the characteristics of these Bectiona are very similar"

 Fifteen hundred dollars of terri torial funds is available for the maintenance ot the public night school here, according to word re- ceiyed today by the educational au- thorities.
 This money will be apportioned to this district by reason of the action of Judge F. M. Brown, of tho third division, who at valdez yesterday formally granted 0 peti- ton asking that he officially au- thorize the establishment of a pub liz night school here. This of- ficiaI recognition is necessary in order that the school may obtain funds from the territorial treasury.
 Under the law, the night school, in accepting the territorial sp- Dortionment, can no longer charge fee for instruction in ordinary branches, and, as consequence, Su- perintendent T. R.

SEND MORE BREAD
 BEFORE MORE CANNON,
 IS CRY FROM GREECE

Athens, Nov. Bad food and the lack of all food among the poor because of European war conditions, are set down as one of the main causes of great mortality and sick ness. in the official health re- port of Athens, which says:
 During July there has been very great increase of sickness, due certainly to the bad food of the population, to the detestable qual- ity oe the foodstuffs, and to the complete want of some of the chief articles of alimentatioR." The death list is given at 51O, or abou, IT g day.
 Based on this report, the Mess ager of Athens makes a plea to the entente powers for more bread before more cannon" "Let us have bread" it says, from charity, from military or political reasons, or from solidarity. Let us have bread! Read the municipal statistics"
 I. declares that what England and France know as privation would be luxury for the majority Of the Greeks, who before the war could hardly feed themselves, and since the blockade of Greek ports have been under a veritable famine. Rice, dry beans and peas, the chief foods of the poor, have disappeared or reached fabulous prices, making them impossible for the poor, 1t asserts, while meat, fish, eggs, poul- try butter and milk were never possible for the poor except on holidays and are now entirely be- ycud their reach.

THE DELlNEATOR AIDS
"BUY.AT-HOME" MOVE
Leading Woman's Magazine in Amer
lea Adopts Radical Policy of
Benefit to Local Merchants.

The Buy atHome" movement in
Julesburg has been Joined by a
mighty ally. Our local merchants
and associations have been pushing it
for years, with more or less success.
And during an equal length of time
out-of-town concerns have been bid
ding for local trade through adver-
tising in the magazines, which go
into our homes. and through the sub
sequent distribution of their own
catalogues direct to Julesburg peO-
pie.
Up to now. the "Buy-at Home"
movement has been conducted solely
along community lines. 1t has had
no aid from national sources. 1t is
therefore particularly cheering news
to learn that the Delineator. sold
through H. o. Virgins. local agent
for the magazine and for Butterick
patterns, has thrown the full weight
of its tremendous influence on the
side of the local merchant-the man
who pays taxes here, employs neigh
bors and friends. and helps build up
the town generally. Beginning with
the April issue. on sale March 10th,
The Delineator eliminates from its
advertising columns the announce
ments of all mail-order houses.
1t is understood that this step has
been taken at loss to the publish
ers of hundreds of thousands of dol
lars, a sacrifice that works in the in
terest of the local merchant. who will
directly benefit through the Delinea-
tors sending customers into their
stores rather than to distant mail
order houses. We therefore believe
that the tendency in this town will
be to support the Delineator heartily.

DRUGGISTS ARE
FIGHTING TAX
Local Medicine Dispensers Opposed to
Stamps for Drug Trade Other
Plans Better.

Local druggists have wired Con-
gressman Ben G: Humphreys, at
Washington, and to Senators John
Sharp Williams and James X. Varda-
man, relative to the proposed war tax.
They are opposed to the government
imposing annoyance Of stamps to
drug trade" and state that if medicine
is to be taxed "in addition to the tax
on other trade any plan will be better
for our trade than attached stamps"
The message is signed by six local
dealers and read as follows:
Hon. B. G. Humphreys, M. c., Wash
ington D. C. We hope you will use
your influence to defeat that part of
revenue bill imposing annoyance Of
stamps to drug trade. If medicine is
to be taxed in addition to the tax on
other trade any plan will be better for
our trade than attaching stamps.

(By Associated Press)

Along the entire Macedonian front
from Monstir to Lake Boiran, a dis
tance of about hundred miles the
Allies have opened another great Of
fensive. In every section of the line
General Sarrails artillery is roaring
day and night but SO far the campaign
is only in the initial phase.
In France the deadlock continues.
Behind the fighting line the Allies are
massing men and guns for another big
blow. General Maurice, chief director
of the British military operations, in
announcing the coming drive said that
it would be of mightier force and ex-
tent than were the battles Of Arras
and Somme. Indications are that the
blow will not be long delayed.
News from Russia is increasing
gloomy and there seems to be little
likelihood of any effective military ac-
ton on the part of Russia in long
time to come.
