Potato Prices VIII
Probably Be Low

The farmer who sold his potatoes last
winter at frcm three to four cents a
pound will probably be obliged to look
much smaller price in the face this
season. 1t happens that last year this
valley had the big crop and the rest of
the country was in hard luck with
scarcely half crop. This year the thing
is just the other way. Reports by the
government from Idaho indicate bum
per crop, Colorado will produce more
than the average and Minnesota, a big
potato raising state will grow more than
for many year. And the Willamette
is on the other side OF the proposition
with the prospects of small crop, not
withstanding the large acreage. Hence
the reports now being received indicate
there will be an abundance of spuds and
the chances are the market will open
pretty close to one cent pound. This
is merely guess at this stage of the
proceedings.

The Oregon Army
and Navy Auxiliary

Mrs Walter L. Spaulding has been
appointed local member of the Oregon
Army and Navy auxiliary, volunteer
organization of patriotic women, who
look after the needs Of all the boys
going to the front. They do not con-
fine their efforts and gifts to Co. M,
or Co. K, but give personal attention
to each and every boy in the regiment.
For the benefit of those who would
like to give, and know their money is
going where it will do the most good
and be gladly appreciated, Mrs.
Spaulding makes the following state
ment:,
There are three companies in the
egiment-machine gun company. head.

who are composed of men picked for
their special qualifications and not

some will pass quickly and mereifully;
Others will suffer on smoking battle

Pacifst Talks His
Way Back to Jail

Harry Lataner, who was released in
$500 bail on Thursday when charged
with making a seditious speech, took
his soapbox and his eloquence to
Madison Square yesterday afternoon.
He had enjoyed his liberty less than
twenty-four hours when the services
OF six patrolmen were necessary to
rescue him from his audience.
Conveyed at last comparatively un-
hurt t. the East Twenty-second Street
police station. Lataner was booked
again on charge similar to the one
on which he was arraigned on Thurs
day. James +. Howard of 1OS Prospect
Place, Brooklyn, appeared against him.
Mr.. Howard said Lataner's previous
arrest apparently had supplied him
with new object for his vituperaticn,
for not only did he denounce the gov
eminent yesterday, but he also di-
rected offensive remarks against Mag
istrate Murphy, the official who had
released him in $500 bail.
For the second time Lataner was ar
raigned before Magistrate Murphy in
the Yorkville police court. In view of
his attack upon the magistrate person
ally. the court set his case down TO be
heard by another magistrate on Mon
day. Bail was fixed in 81, 800 on the
second charge. Lataner was unable to
furnish 1t and went TO prison.

Mr.. Beck called on Mr.. Williams yester-
day and was told it mad been decided to
move long before he mad voiced his
criticism.
Mr.. Williams sent out letter dur
ing the day to grocers in New York
City instructing them to cease the
practice of requiring their patrons
TO purchase other groceries with a
pound or more of sugar. Hereafter
grocers will have to sell sugar at
the fixed prices of Oh and 10 cents a
a pound to their regular customers,
even il the customers order no other
groceries. Up to the present time some
retailers have demanded TIC purchase
OF from so cents to s. worth Of other
merchandise, sometimes at inflated
prices, with one to FIVE pound lots Of
sugar.
