JANE LEE RUFFLED
 BY GOTHAM POLICE

Miss Jane Lee, of that famous pair The Lee Kids, is having troubles of her own The latest thing which ruff fled the temperament of that four year-old screen fayorite who is now oDpearing in William FoX's "A Small Town Girl which is at the Lamara today, was q New York police depart ment order.
 Without consulting Miss Lee. some deputy commissioner. or perhaps the commissioner himself. transferred her friend the traffic cop from Fortv-siXth street and Broadway. Before the new Q policemtn at that station had time to become familiar with the famous peo"le in the neigborhood Miss Lee went for a stroll to the Fox ottices. She 4lau e litde business matter which, she thought, required her attention.
 Miss Jane hustled to the crossing Imagine her Chargrin when the autos didn't stop for her Those brilliant eyes began to sparkle. When the cop on duty showed no intention of stopping traffic for her Jane took the matter in her own hands and started across the street.
 4 din of auto sirens and squeakins brakes brought the policeman to. He saw the majestic though diminutive form Of Miss Jane ee ambling through that press of vehicles
 Hey. you!" roarcd the policeman 9 s he bounded toward Janc and caught her up in his arms. He carried the squirming little actress to the sidewalk. gave her q lecture on Safety tirst and started back to the middle of the crossing.
 Jane caught his coat.
 'Where's Mir. OReilly?' she he manded.
 He's transferred. Miss" was the big fellows meek reply.
 Do you know who I am?" shot back Miss Lee, sterny. No. Miss The cop was now thor oughly humbled. I'm Miss Jane Lee. MT. O'Reilly al ways stopped the autos for me.
 Thousands of apologies were made by the policemtn. He humbly promised never again to overlook the famous lit tie actress
 Jane thought for a moment She of fered him her hand and they shook and made up.

WALTHALL FIRST

Walth2n sOmc one has said requires for his matchless screen art no less than an epoch picture. He does not fla yor the picture patron often with his splendid screen work but when he does come he is all the more appreciated.
 Today he opens at the Hip in a five reel dramatic story that is far different from anything he has yet done for the screen.
 It is not one Of the big gripping dra- matte tales like the Raven The Truant Soul or Firth of Nation" On the contrary, it is a sweet story of a gi~l who gives a pair of little shoes to a

supplies. During that time the merchants here can juggle prices which will be done in a manner hay ing no relation whatever to the pri- ces which were paid for the goods. It is an absolutely unfair criterion to charge present time prices for goods taken in last year, upon the basis of prices as they are today to be paid It is upon the present time prices which the merchants pay wholesale that they base the prices when they will sell those goods ana not before.
 We can rely upon it that the pri- ces which will follow shipment of goods at an inCreas price will also show an increased retailing price But to raise present time stocks to equalize the coming whole sale prices is hardly just consider ing the situation which this camp 1 faces.
 The merchants of Nome run little risk of a sudden collapse in prices. | Alter the close of navigation in Nome merchants may watch outside prices run down to below zero with

indifference for they know that the chem from competition. It is en- tirely different with the merchants outside. They meet immediate conn petition and all their stocks are sub jcct to collapse with a market col lapse, for the public has access to the falling markets daily.
 Whoever heard when prices col lapsed outside, prices dropping to meet that collapse during the win ter in Alaska? Prices have fallen during winter months in many stap- les, but they remained high during the winter here or remained at the same price at any rate during the time that navigation was closed.
 These high prices that now pre- vail may or may not be warranted. But if they are, the public should be told why. It will be the loss of the merchant if the public is not ac- uudIIlltu "llll lllC lS1ItS, iciSIo " illNA they can confirm from market re ports outside.
 While during peaceful times charging all the traftlc will bear might have been warranted, condi- tions during war will not justify that. And hence what is needed is mutual cooperation regardless of the actual profits to be made, be- tween consumers and handlers of merchandise in this town. The goose that lays the golden eggs in this camp is q mighty sick bird just now and it will take very little to have the faathercd beauty keel over All of which is respectfully sub mitted.

EXEMPTIONS.

It's puzzle to discover why mcn of religious profession are excused under the draft act Why preachers should be considered entitled to eX- emption under the law is not very clear. Most of them are able bodied and well able at any rate to obey orders, dig trenches and handle muskets. They have, a good man! of them, been quite demonstratiFe- ly militarisitc and it is not fair to deny them the opportunity of serY- ing their country. It is not reason able discrimination at all, but it Is discrimination that has been haIlowed by precedent.

FOOD CONTROL.

These are days of food control food conservation and other talk along this line It is likely that somt sort of food control leglsla- tion will be passed in the interim the public is instructed to avoid waste. I'm public will The food ipoqlers who control prices very effectively vii! see to it that there k little food wasted by the masses. Thera seldom is. The price one has to pay for the food one needs, most effectively taxes care that there is little of it going into the garbage can.
 This food proposition is going to he serious in Alaska unless the gov crumtnt does something
 Potatoes sell in the government commissary at S1.87. Local frms charge $S. Quite a difference, and if the same playful influences arc 10 be at work inccndirg other lines, miners will most certainly be up agains; tough proposition
 We do not know who is directly responsible for the increases in prices in this town. Certainly it is rot wholly the outside prices which prevail for relatively little has been shipped in this spring. But what is being done is to drive the consum- ing public into the arms of com mission men outside.
 This is a fact and the sooner il is realized the better it will be for all concerned On a steamer leaving or the first fleet one man had local orders, this paper is crcdihlF in- formed. for two taavaaud dollars worth of goods. Another had orders for three thousand dollars worth. If this proves satisfactory to those who sent out, where will local stores get off at? It is positively certain that it will inscrease instead of decrease, should the outside purchases prove upon arrival satisfactory.
 The Industrial Worker is not boosting this trade, but is rather pointing out what possibly may cause a serious loss to local merch- ants and all through misapprehen- sion of the facts.
 Nome merchants may establish a co. operation among themselves ir price setting. But they will have tC take the public into their confidence if they are going to get by with it No matter how urgent may be the need for increased prices if the public thinks that the price is un warranted it will result in loss ol business
 We don't know if it has daWnet upcn local merchants that the wal conditions have provided us witt conditions which are absolutely ab normal. They cannot do business as they have been doing it, witt "one price to all and if you don want it you can leave it alone" There will have to be more mutual ity between consumer and store keeper unless the storekeeper is go ing to lose out to some commis sion or blying agent outside.
 Even the national governmen ha seen the necessity of this, and be cause already arbitary prices hay been discovered there is proposed general food control in the nation.
 In this section of the territor the public is practically at tn mercy of the local merchants fo seven long months of the year. Dur ing that lime they cannot ship il
