Cotton GcCds Get
Into Aviation Class
and Continual Soaring

Once there was story about calico
selling for 25 cents yard but it hard
ly seemed true to the present genera
ton. But from the official price list
of stable cotton goods just issued, we
are at present half way or more to the
25 cents a yard calico. Standard Am
ericun calico prints are now quoted
wholesale at from IL to 1917 cents a
yard and oil red calico, IA, at 10 cents
a yard, wholesale. Calico shirting for
so many years sold at five cents a yard
lis now quoted to the retail merchant at
10h cents.
Of course, when cotton is selling at
25 and 26 cents pound instead of the
customary 10 and IL cents, there is
bound to be an advance in cotton goods
an advance that might be called war
prices. On today's market Amoskeag
ginghams, A. f. G., are quoted at 171b
cents, Toile du Nord at IS cents and
Devonshire at 23 cents. Amoskeag sta
pie ginghams cost the merchant Is
cents if bought today.
Every good housekeeper is fairly
well acquainted with the price of ten
quarter Pequot bleaching. The whole
sale price two weeks ago was As cents
a yard and the quotations received to-
day announce an advance to 55 cents
a yard. Nine quarter bleached Pepper
ell sheeting is wholesale 40 cents a
yard today. Utility ginghams, a stand
ard bingham put out by Marshall Field
& Co. few years ago retailed at ten
cents a yard. Today the price whole
sale is 161a cents.
1t is due to the foresight of Salem
merchants that the people in this vicin
ity are not paying retail price in
proportion to the present wholesale.
But it is pretty sure proposition that
cotton will continue to soar and also
that when present dry goods stocks are
there will something like
war time prices for staple cotton goods.

MORE INFORMATION

claims for exemptions are based on the
alleged fact that the man has depend
ents, there are bound TO be a great
many disappointed claimants, for the
district boards will be much more Sc
we're in their rulings in most cases than
the local boards.
The district boards have already an
nounced that it will be their policy to
allow claims for exemption or dis
charge for dependency, only when it
appears that if the man is taken into
the military service, his dependent or
dependents are likely to become bur
den to the community.
If wife has relatives who can sup
port her during ner husband IS absence
at the front, or if she is able by her
own labor to support herself, the dis
trict boards will not excuse the hus-
band from service.
This fact might as well be realized
now, for it will save many husky young
men the trouble of filing claims for
exemption or discharge that will new
er get by the district boards, even
should they be passed by local boards.
The great number of claims for ex-
emption, estimated to be about so per
cent of the number OIL men called up
for service, is resulting in general
up of the regulations gov
erning exemptions and discharges.

OLD AGE A CRIME f!

Some people are young at 6O-red
checked, ruddy and vigorous. Others are
old at 40-joints beginning to stiffen
up a bit; step beginning to lag and lose
its springiness; occasional touches Of
pain in the back, feel tired without
cause, and possibly twinge of rheu-
matte pain.
In most cases these are the danger
signals to warn you that the kidneys
are not promptly doing their work of
throwing off the poisons that are al
ways forming in the body. To neglect
these natural warnings is crime
against yourself. If you have these
symptoms you can find prompt relief
