COST IN
RAY CUT BY
MERCHANTS

At meeting of the grocery mer-
chants of the Ray and Sonora dis
tricts held last Tuesday steps were
taken which are of vast Importance
to the people of the camp. The mer-
chants were called together to ascer-
tain if some way could not be arrang
ed to somewhat relieve the high cost
of living. After considerable discus
sion it was decided to appoint COM
mittee to look into the price situa-
tion and if possible make a reduction,
especially on the necessities of life.
The committee had a meeting We'd
nesday morning and as result made
a decided cut on several of the more
important items in the grocery line,
to take effect on the first of June. In
several of the necessities the price
was reduced to the actual cost. Here
is list of articles prepared by the
committee and the prices that will
be charged:
Flour (5X Soft Wheat)-24 lbs,
$1.9O; 4S lbs.. $3.50; SO lbs, $3.50.
Flour (Kansas Hard) IA lbs, $2.05;
48 lbs., $4.10; SO lbs., $8.15.
Pink Beans (per pound)-15 cents.
Beet Sugar (per pound)-10N cents;
per sack, $9.05.
Potatoes (new)-2 lbs. 25 cents;
per lug, cents per lb.
Lily Milk-2 cans for 25 cents; per
case (4S cans), $3.50.
Silver Leaf Lard-Small, 80 cents;
medium, $1.3O; large, $3.50; per case,
$500.
Swift's Compound 1915.
Swift's Premium Bacon-45 cents
per lb.
Swift's Premium HAMS cents
per lb.
The above prices are for cash only.
It has been the custom with the mer-
chants of Ray for several months past
to sell coupon books which allow q
discount of per cent for cash. This
custom still prevails.
At recent meeting of the mer-
chants of Hayden it was unanimously
decided to put their business on a
cash basis and accordingly notice
was sent out notifying the public. that
on and after June 20 the stores of
Hayden would sell only for cash and
that by so doing they would make a
5 per cent reduction on all lines.
The matter of putting the stores
here on a cash basis was discussed
at the recent meeting of the mer-
chants, but it was thought by some
that it would work a hardship on
many of the people of the camp, espe-
cially as most of the business is trans
acted on a credit basis, so it was de-
cided not to make the change at this
time.

Cooking the Potato.
Columbus Ohio State Journal.

Eiom the CoiHrous Oho state journal
After all of our talk of economy. of
the necessity of saving even on potato
parigs etc, it is rather discoura ging
to note everywhere a most ruthless
waste of that valuable vegetable. the
potato. The waste that is most evident
is not so much in the ordering or in
the peeling as in the cooking. Economi-
cal as one may be Of this vegetable in
other ways, II a potato is poorly cooked
it Is just the same as thrown away. And
yet nearly all people who frequent pub
lie eating places will testify that it is
more common to meet with a potato
that has been badly cooked than one
that is correctly prepared.
And there is no excuse for 1t, for
there is nothing in the world that is
easier to prepare for the table than a
potato. Just a plain boiled potato. well
done. is a dish worthy of aspect. But 1T
is seldom found. All that is needed to
obtain it is thorough boiling in salt
ed water. then the draining Of all the
wate-. and f1ally the careful drying OF
the potatoes on the stove, with the
cover of the dish of 1t is this last in
junction that is evidently unheeded,
since SO often encounter potatoes
that are soggy and steam-soaked. To
allow these vegetables to be uncovered
while drying is absolutely necessary
in order that the steam may escape and
the potato become light and fiaky. 1t Is
a very simple mater. The potato that
has been allowed to stand in water or
covered up to absorb the steam Is hard
Iy edible and should not be accepted as
such.
