GET SPUD BARGAINS
Grocers VIII Sell Potatoes at Bottom
Prices Mex Week.

Wichita, Kan, April 3.-Retail
grocers of Kansas City. Topeka and
Wichita notified U. s. Food Admins
traitor Walter P. Innes today they
would handle potatoes during potato
week at an increase of ten cents above
wholesale price on hundred pound
sacks. This is less than the cost of
delivery.
This assures the consumer that if he
buys a hundred pounds of potatoes
next week he will get them at rock
bottom prices. Potato week will be
from April to April 13. Every
grocer in Kansas has been asked to CO.
operate. Practically every large ship
ping point has agreed to handle
potatoes at cost, although profits have
not been set at all points.
With the release of potatoes, which
were held in the farmers bins by the
freight tieup of last winter. potatoes
are now the cheapest food on the
market. Millions of bushels must be
eaten in the next few weeks or they
will go to waste. Thomas b Stearns,
food administrator for Colorado. mott
fled Walter p. lines of Kansas that
1000 cars CT potatoes will spoil in
Colorado unless they are shipped
promptly. Kansas expects to take
care of at least 200 cars next week.
These Colorado potatoes are largely
in farmers hands in Colorado becaus
they could not be sold last winter due
to freight congestion.

GIVES TEACHERS A RAISE
Lawrence School Board Increases Sal
aries to Meet Living Costs.

Lawrence. Kan, April 3.-Taking
into consideration the fact that the
cost of living has been increased 81
per cent since the start of the war, the
Lawrence board of education Tuesday
night decided upon a policy which will
increase the salaries of the Lawrence
teachers 20 per cent for the coming
school year. To do this the board re-
vised its schedule of salary increases
so that for the grade teachers, the an
nual increases will be so per cent
greater than that adopted by the
board last year.
Twenty cities of Kansas has been
forced to adopt similar measures in
the past few months. Sixteen cities
have raised salary schedules in the
past two years. Sixteen have under
contemplation further increases. Four
boards of the twenty have decided to
make no changes. Four have made
advances of from 10 to 20 per cent

He learned baseball inside out in the

Rowland's tactics on the ball field
