pie are compelled to pay more for the
necessities Of life, is the charge made
by Neal p. Olson, secretary of the
Southern California Retail Grocers' as
ISOLATION. He declares that the pres
ent high prices here are partly due to
the fact that large quantities OF eggs
and vegetables are being held for high
er prices and are being released only in
small lots. Olson cites one Los An
geles warehouse as containing $4,000
sacks of sugar. This, he says, is be-
ing held for eastern markets. He says
the food in storage here is approx
mately: 100000 sacks OF sugar, 5000
sacks OF coffee, 30 carloads Of -four, 20
carloads Of potatoes, $50 carloads OF

Mary had a little steak
At o'clock each day.
Twas thus her simple lunch she'd
make,
For that was Mary's way.
And Mary said as time went by
"A steak much smaller grows!"
Another thing took Mary's eye:
The price ascending rose.
And as the war went on and on,
The meat grew smaller still.
Presented by the waiter, John,
Much larger grew the bill.
The things absurd" poor Mary said;
What is this difference forT

Said: Miss. 1t is the war;

In every swarming street.
And still, the more we have 10 lay
The less we get TO eat.

PRINCESS PAT WAS
TREAT FOR FARGOANS
Musical Comedy Full of Catchy Music
Which Entertained Fair Sized
Crowd.

1t was real treat to Fargo theater-
goers to see a musical comedy again
and Princess Pat, staged at the audi
forum last night, was well received
and for the most part deserved the
attention and applause that was given
it.
The voices were uniformly good,
the costuming very pleasing and the
catchy music and the comedy were
very entertaining. The play is based
on Henry Blossoms book and the
music, composed by Victor Herbert,
was of that kind that people persist
really treat to those who enjoy
sparkling music of the lighter variety
now and then. There We're some num-
bers that were quite operate, also.
Oscar Figman was the comedian of
the production. Every facial express
sion and gesture proclaimed the COM
edian of the higher variety. The title
role was splendidly taken by Miss
Blanche Duffleld who had remark
able voice and both she and Miss Eva
Fallon showed up splendidly through
out the production. The duet sung by
them in the second act was especially
good. David Quixano, as Prince An
tonic, was recalled several times by
his singing Of the Neapolitan Love
Song.
Every character part in the play
was well taken and the chorus num-
bers were all that could be asked.
In fact the production was treat
to theatersoers of the city. While
there was q fair sized audience in the
auditorium the production deserved
an even, better one.

Up with the flag! Up with the flag!
Up with the flag we love!
Till its coIors flutter from every roof
And merge with the skies above,
And our eyes shall fill and our hearts
shall thrill
With the Joy that is always new,
At the grand old sight of the red and
white,
And the stars in a field of blue.
Let our flag unfurled to a watching
world
Be proof that we keep our trust,
That we take our part with valiant
heart
In a cause that we know is just!

It rains.

Let it float on high, and if men must
die
To keep it from blot or stain,
They snail meet their fate with souls

They shall not die in vain.
For the-flag still holds in its ample

The spell of its olden flame,
And our pulses leap and we bum
down deep
With a wonderful, quenchless
flame:
As the flag filings free for all to see
In the sweep of the winds above,
Up with the flag! Up with the flag!
Up with the flag we love!
