FLOURPRICESIO
DROP WHENLATE
PRODUCT ARRIVES

Until the local merchants receive
shipments OF flour from the mainland,
purchased at cheaper prices, here
will be no drop in the local flour mar
ket The stock on hand n the Homo
time ago at high rates. and conse-
quently the local market remains at
somewhat high figure.
Coast food authorities, however, in
sist that flour should sci! below SO.
Here arc some OF the reasons:
Wheat is selling at $40. By
figuring four and one-half bushels
of flour to be made from wheat at
that price, the cost is 1915, pus
the cost OF milling, rs cents; plus
the cost Of sacks, 81 cents, and
% cents. This totals the gross
cost of barrel Of flour at $l0.&0.
From this deduct the receipts
from ~ pounds of bran, etc, and
at the present price Of Z Is cents,
the deduction is $l.o3. Ibis
leaves the net price at 1921. IL
the deduction is made according
to the proposed price of bran,
" cent, the deduction would be
only 80 cents, leaving the price
of flour at $3.50.
That is what the coast flour eX-
perts figure the new prices should
be ON a barrel. The local mar
ket, however, is still quoted
around $3.50.
AS a result Of the tying up OF the
American Can companys plant at
San Francisco by a strIKe, thousands
of dollars worth of perishaole fruits
and vegetables have been allowed to
rot. Because of the shortage of tin,
only limited supply Of cans are oil
hand, and this curtails the packing
of fruits Local merchants are wor-
ried over the announcement concern
Ing the wastage, as It viii materially
1fIsct the Honolulu markets. II is
believed that the coast shortage will
lie felt here, and the prices Of canned
goods will jump.

STUDY OF ENGLISH
HAS BEEN TAKEN
UP BY ITALIANS

Rome, March s.-(Correspondence
Of The Associated Press)-The lit
erary test clause Of the United States
immigration laws, which Is to take ef-
feet May 1, has already resulted In
tho stimulation Of the study Of Eng
lish among Italians who expect to
emJgrate to America when the war Is
over.
In the belief Of the Italian Com
missioner Of Emigration there will
be more than enough work to be done
In Europe, and at good wages when
the war is over, and the governments
are expected to do all possible to dis
courage emigration. However. in
quiries already being made at the
American consulates indicate that q
large number Of soldiers are consider
ing the possibility Of going to Ameri-
ca when released from service. Re-
ports that the United States has be-
come Immensely wealthy because OF
her war sales are prevalent here, and
relatives of many Italians have writ
ten home from America telling Of op-
portunities that are more certain
there and urging them to come when
the war is over without waiting to dis
cover whether Europe is or Is not go
ing to recover from the setback given
by the war. One Of the cemmonest
hear from store clerks. from soldiers.
or from BARRIERS, is that they think OF
going to America when the war is
over.
Ar inte, esting phase Of emigration
possibilities is the belief expressed in
some quarters that many Of the hith-
erto well-to-do Italians Of the edu-
Gated classes who have suffered by the
war may go to America to recoup
their fortunes.
While italy furnished the largest
number Of emigrants to the United
States before the war Of any single
nation, for the fiscal year ending June
30, 1914. the number being 283,738. as

HILLSBORO OUT OF
COAL? NONE ON WAY

Hillsboro, N. D., March s.-The
Red River Valley especially in this
vicinity is facing serious coal short
age and soon, people will be forced
to depend upon other sources for
their heat and power. This was the
opinion Of Manager Mayall of the
Valley Lumber company, which op-
crates branch houses in all the small
towns along the line, when inter.
viewed.
The only possible relief. says May
al. would be an early breaking UP
Of the lakes, thus allowing the COL
liers to get through.
To supply the wants of this district
for the month or 50 until more can
be secured there is only one small
car Of stove coal and practically no
nut coal at all in Hillsboro. In an
effort to relieve the tension Manager
Mayall of the Valley company is
drawing from the very meagre sup
ply of some Of the neighboring
branch houses.

prominent penmen got a chance. The
greater part of their efforts find their
way quickly into the waste-paper

There are forty church troops OF

half of them will make talks in their
churches for the Red Cross fund. A
church in Irvington sent in request
for a scout to talk there on the fund
and Mr.. English will send boy for
the purpose.
