Saturday T allks. to Housewives
By Frank Willis Barnett

Said jolly boarding house keeper to me: For years folks kept talk ing about 10-cent cotton and they got it, but who ever dreamed of To- cent cabbage?" Do you mean to tell me that that plebian vegetable is bringing that much per pound?' I answered. t'Yes,' said she. When it was 2 cents pound I couldn't get any boarders to touch it, and now they ask for a second helping"
 With such stand-bys as ham, Irish potatoes and cabbage soaring, what chance has poor old dad to feed his bunch unless the missis buys care fully. I believe that enlightened self-interest is going to cause the women of Birmingham to scan this page on every Saturday.
 The high cost of living is no theory, but condition Government statistics show retail food prices in the United States advanced 19 per cent in the year ended January 15, as shown in statistics prepared by the bureau of labor statistics. The increase was greater than for the three years previous combined The four years gain was 30 per cent.
 Every food staple except coffee and tea advanced during the year. Onions and potatoes led with in creases of more than 50 per cent.
 Some of the advances were: Sir loin, per cent, round steak, per cent; rib roast, 8 per cent; chuck roast, per cent; pork chops, 10 per cent; bacon, 8 per cent; ham, { per cent; lard, 22 per cent; hens, 16 per cent; salmon, per cent; eggs, 32 per cent; butter, IS per cent; cheese, 27 per cent; milk, II per cent; bread, Is per cent; flour, 3S per cent; corn meal, 23 per cent; potatoes, 57 per cent; onions, 5S per cent; beans, 39 per cent; prunes, 5 per cent; raisins, 16 per cent; sugar, 16 per cent.
 I heard gentleman say to a great New York tanker: q see the dem agcgues are stirring up food riots in New York city" With a symDa- thy that surprised me, he replied: q wish it was merely question of agitation. Unfortunately prices are making it almost impossible for many laborers to feed their fam ilies"
 It isn't that the retailers are hold ing up the people. It goes far deeper than that. The government is after the big men. Relief is not in sight.

RUMORS OF RAIDER
RECALL PIRATE DAYS
Wild Reports Are Flying But
There Is Little Definite
Information
By H. B. Robertson,

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Rio De Janeiro, Jan. 24.-Not since
the days when Morgan and other buc-
cancers of old roamed the seas and
sent vessels seudding before wild
rumors of their presence has there
been such a crop of stories, of secret
bays concealed harbors, mysterious
supply ships and the strategy of willy
seamen as that which buzzed up and
down the South American coast today.
Many of the harbored strongholds of
the pirates of the days when the
Spanish main was "good picking" are
located on the north coast of South
America and the rumors of today
were that these same natural vantage
points were being utilized by the Ger
man raider.
The minister of marine put enough
credence in one of these rumors to dis.
patch the Brazilian cruisers Rio
Grande Do Sud and Tymbira to search
the coast of the state of Rio Grande
Do Norte. The specific rumor on
which he based his action was that the
municipality of Touros, in that state,
located between Fortaleza and Natal
was the hiding place of the raider
Pemambuco dispatches today persisted
in this rumor.
The meager description of the raider
given by survivors at PernambucO said
she had four tunnels. The same rumor
had it that the four funneled vessel
was attended by one passenger ship
and two cargo boats, one of which was
flying the American flag
Practically every inch of the east
South American coast line will have
been searched out within the next few
days Warships from Brazil, Argentine
and Uruguay have taken up the quest,
seeking to prevent violation of the
neutrality of their waters, as well as a
vast fleet of allied warships.

UNITE THREE CHURCHES

On last Sabbath morning, January IA,
after very interesting and profitable
divine services, conducted by Rev.
Arthur S. Hethcote, of Salem. A con-
ference, composed Of delegations from
the Pleasant Grove and Marion Presby-
terian churches, and some of the mem
bers of the Presbyterian church of Tur-
ner, convened for the purpose of cOnsid-
ering the matter Of uniting the three
churches into one field or grouping, as
in former years. After considerable dis
cussion it was then unanimously agreed
to group the three points into one field,
and to employ Rev. Arthur Hethcote
to supply the field as their minister,
for six months, or until July l, provided
a sufficient amount of salary can be
raised TO pay him.
1t then was decided for each congre.
cation to ascertain by canvass, just
how much salary could be secured by
each church and report as soon as prac-
ticable.-Turner Tribune.

John H. HartOg Resigns
From Irrigation Company

John H. Hartog, who for several
years, except the 19l4-15 fiscal year,
has been the manager of the William
cite Valley Irrigated Land Co., after
being reelected few days ago, has
resigned and will start in business for
himself in Portland.
The company's lands are located
southeast of Salem and originally com
prised some four thousand acres, about
half of which, however, was abandon
ed and the options thereon given up
on account of the downward trend of
the market and the general lethargy in
land demand. A complete irrigation
system was constructed, during 1911,
taking the water from the North fork
of the Santiam river at Stayton and
carrying it four miles to the company S
nearest holdings, located at West Stay
ton. Grain farms were turned into
diversified farming and great many
newcomers settled on the project. The
recent high prices paid for all kinds
of labor in the states east Of the
Rockies, has allured not few to give
up farming and move back east.

Interested Audience
Hears Prof. MCAusIan

A very interested audience gathered
at the auditorium of the Commercial
club last evening to hear the talk Of
Prof. G, R. McAuslan of the Universi-
ty of Oregon extension department on
the subject of Linen.
The speaker first showed samples of
flax, just as gathered from the field
an example grown in Minnesota for
seed only-and our grown in the Will
lamette valley, Oregon, yielding val
ue in both seed and fibre. He also
showed the straw after threshing, and
retting and samples of Oregon fibre
in comparison with the best Europe can
produce-that from the Coutirai district
.ot Belgium, in which the Oregon prod.
uct showed great superiority.
Beginning with the history of linen
he told of its discovery in Egypt be-
fore the dawn OF history, its develop
ment in ireland as household en-
ployment up to 1880 when the introduc-
ton of the power loom changed condi-
tons so that it became a manufacture
ing enterprise which has grown to
large proportions, two thirds of all flax
spinning spindles being now in Ire
land He then described the method of
harvesting, retting, breaking, Scrutch-
ing and hacking, the spinning pro-
cess, length of tibres and special char
acteristics, He said that Oregon has
proved beyond all doubt that the best
flax in the world can be raised right
here in the Willamette valley which
has natural monopoly of it as in no
other part of the United States on
conditions SO favorable and he looks
for large development of flax grow
ing here in the immediate future.
Tonight continuing the general sub
lect of the fundamentals of fabrics
Prof. MeAuslan will speak on "wool' :.
The meeting will occur at the auditor
ium Of the Commercial club at s p. M.
All are invited.

understood to be approximately $4,000

building of logging roads and one or
more large mills, either on the Colum-
bia river or on Tiliamook bay. Defi-
mite announcement of the company IS

DANDRUFFY HEADS
BECOME HAIRLESS

X X x 4 = X i x x X x x x II \
If you want plenty of thick, beauti'
full, glossy, silky hair, do by all means
get rid Of dandruff, for it will starve
your hair and ruin it if you don't
1t doesn t do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve
it, then you destroy it entirely. To do
this, get about four ounces of ordinary
liquid arvon; apply it at night when
retiring; use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub it in gently with the fin
ger tips.
By morning, most if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop, and
your hair will look and feel a hundred
times better. You can get liquid arvon
at any drug store. 1t is Inexpensive and
four ounces is all you will need, no mat
ter how much dandruff you have. This
simple remedy never fails.

Y. M. C. A. Basket Ball
Contest Is Close

Some great games Of basket ball are
expected tonight on the Y. M. 9. A.
floor when the six teams of the Com
mercial Basketball League appear. Not
since the beginning of the league, whic
dates back three years, have the teams
been so evenly matched nor have the
games been so closely contested.
All estimates that have thus far been
made as to the relative strength of the
several teams have been wrong. The
teams which on one occasion seem to
display weakness on others demonstrate
exceptional strength. Last week s
game, in which the Capital National
bang team defeated the strong Price
Shoe Co., which was conceded to be the
strongest team in the league, because
of its previous record, upset all the dope
The first game tonight will be be-
tween the strong Hauser Bros. team
and the Bishops. Bishops have recent
ly developed amazing speed and team
work and a fast and furious game IS
looked for. The game will be called
at 1880.
The second game will see the Capt.
tai National bank and the Watt Shipp
Co. as opponents. Captain De Dapp Of
the Ships has made it plain that if
the Capital National team should be
successful in winning it will not be be-
cause the aWtt Shipp Co. failed to
give them hard game. Some surprises
are looked for in this game. This game
will start at 500
The third game of the evening will
be between the Frys and the Price Shoe
company. Captain Welborn of the
Frys has had his team working hard
for his anticipated hard game with the
Price company. This game will be call
ed at $3.50
