BUTTER PRICES
ARE SOARING
Market Quotations Have
Advanced IL Cents
Since Sept. l.

One OF the most sensational rises in
price has occurred in the butter mar
ket during the past month. Creamery
butter is now retailing for about 60
n at the local groceries, with every
vance
on September first New York
quoted the market price for butter at
4S cents and yesterday the quotation
had gone up to 60 cents. Only one
explanation a be suggested as a
possible reason: Some weeks ago the
government issued an order for taking
over about 60 per cent OF the storage
holdings of the 5creameries throughout
the country to meet the need for but
ter in the military camps.
The demand for so large an amount
OF butter at once, without any rela-
tive production increase to meet the
usua demand, created q serious Short
age of the supply. The market has
sought to replace this shortage by
bidding up for butter with the conse-
qHent rise in price. The prices will,
1h all probability, continue to rise un-
til the deficit in the regular market
supply is met. In the meantime Gus
toners will continue to pay high for
creamery butter.
The local supply Of good dairy but
ter is reported to be very short, ac-
cording to grocers, and this shortage
ADDS to the seriousness Of the cream
cry butter situation.
The prices are said to be without
precedent in this part of the country.

BEAUTY CHORUS IN
"GOING UP" CHOSEN
BY ~THEATERCOERS

Mere managerial Judgment was not
alone depended upon in the selection
of the famous beauty chorus Of. the
Cohan and Harris musical comedy
production "Going Up announced
for early presentation in this city.
All the theatergoers Of New York
city were invited to help Conan and
Harris select their famous beauties
and that their judgment was the best
is most eloquently attested to by the
fair ones who at present grace the
ranks of The chorus in this production.
Last season when Cohan and Harris
was preparing for the premiere of
"Going Up" he sought the aid Of the
New York World and through this
newspaper offered positions in the
chorus to the twenty-five young WON
en-, whom its readers would award by
popular vote, the honor of being the
most beautiful women in New York.
Not only did Cohan and Harris offer
these young women positions at a
good salary, but generously included
in their offer to educate theul free Of
any expense to themselves for the
stage.
In due aso the twenty-five lucky
girls were selected and placed in the
chorus where they are at the present
time, and through the publicity given
the concert. other girls almost as pref
ty as the prize winners themselves ap-
piled for places and were accepted. In
fact a number of the members of the
present chorus are contestants who al

most attractive choruses seen in any

The senior class will perhaps not
be as large as it has been in previous

every respect.
In speaking Of the soldiers course
