The season of perishable fruits and

Let every housewife be a soldier in

will have little to worry about then.

On the charge of polygamy placed
against him by the state, George Faber.

the western states to California in an
automobile with Miss Linkes as chauf-
feur.
Eight years ago Mrs. Faber states in
her charge of non-support, Faber left
her and after years correspondence
ceased to write so that for eight years
she did not hear from him. During
this time he contributed nothing to-
ward the support of his children.
As he furnished no bail on either
charge, he was placed in the county Jail

Grocer Says Prices
for Fancy Groceries
Have Reached Limit

One of the leading grocers of Salem
said today that the chances were fan
cy groceries would not advance in price
beyond the present high figure simply
from the fact that people will not buy
goods when the price goes beyond the
limit. Certain canned goods that for
merlv sold for ten cents can are now
retaiIed at twenty cents and this linn
its the quantity sold. Staple groceries
may to some extent be regulated by
the food control commission: One year
ago sugar was $1.30 per hundred cheap
er than today. and flour, 81 a sack
cheaper. The government food commits
sion may have something to say about
these two staples, but the grocer
thought there would be no change to
any extent in the price of flour, espe-
cially if the commission sets 50
bushel price on wheat.
