GERMANS PREPARING BIG

Nation of Danger of
MassedHorde Drawn
Up On West Front

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec 10.-In startling
frank fashion, Secretary Bakers weekly war sum-
mary TODAY warns the nation not to minimize the
danger of the newly massed Teuton hordes on the
west front.
Stripped of it's veribage, the statement amounts to
notice that with the added forces Germany has drawn
from the east 'front.' she constitutes graver danger
than at any time in the past two and half years.
The Germans may even be able to achieve some
relative advantages such they did the past week
at Cambria, Baker adds, thru temporary predomi-
nance of numerical strength.

Tacoma housewives nave cnallenge 10
meet
They have complained of exorbitantly
high food prices.
They have complained that when meatless
day rolled around, the dealers put fish prices
out of sight.
The fish dealers have retorted that the
housewives were to blame because they in
sisted always on ordering salmon and haIS
but and ignoring other equally good varl-
eties
The Times came back with the assertion
that the fish dealers were to blame, in part
at least, for that because they did not take
housewives into their confidence, did not
advertise their wares. No modern business
can succeed without proper publicity.
Tell u.s. said The Times, "when you
have some good, low priced fish to dispose
of, and we will tell the women of Tacoma,
then see what will happen"
Well, Joe Maddox, of the Glacier Fish
Co., took us at our word. He said this
morning that he has received part of a
schooner load of ling cod from off the
Washington coast and has whOlesaled it to
the markets at 6 cents pound.
The markets in turn are going to sell it
Monday and Tuesday to consumers at not
to exceed 10 cents Salmon and halibut both
sell here today at 25 cents.
The fish is high quality and perfectly
fresh, Mr.. Maddox assures U.S.
Tuesday is meatless day. You are chal.
lenged, Tacoma women. Do you really want
low priced food? Do you want to help
cent fish. How will you meet the challenge?

WHEAT TO BE A REGULAR
CROP, GET YOUR SEED EARLY

Most every farmer in Mississippi is
planning to plant a patch of wheat
this fall, at least enough to supply the
family with flour next year. There is
no doubt that five acres or more of
good wheat is going to be big asset
next spring, and will make the farmer
independent of the high priced -four.
Indeed, from present indications it
would seem hat about the only way
sure of having -four at all is to pro-
duce it at home.
F~orseeing a big demand for seed
with a scarcity, and high prices at
planting time, the Mississippi A. &
M. College is urging the farmers in
this state to get theis seed wheat now.
In many sections of the state good
yields of wheat are being threshed out
and can be bought for reasonable
prices. If not bought for seed within
a short time, however, much of this
will find its way to the millers who
are anxious to secure it. Buy yours
now, and tell your neighbor to do
likewise.
