Humor Over the Wires.

Much has been heard of late concerns
ing cipher messages; but if you were in
mid-Atlantic and wished to send a
wireless" to your husband and tell
him-with all respect to economy
that the weather was perfect, your
health good, food satisfactory, cabin
comfortable, passengers congenial,
what cipher would you invent? Could
IT be packed into two words?
A lady who crossed from New York
lately, on some war mission, did the
trick. The husband she had left be-
hind she knew would be playing poker
every evening at the club, so she chose
IA time when he would just be in the
thick of it to send him the all-inclusive
message of perfect satisfaction: Roy
al Flush" which is the best hand q
poker player can hold.

this figure to $2.OS. Both figures are
an advance over that of last year and
the one given by Hoover probably will
be the one that will stick. With the
price definitely settled it is safe to
predict a large increase in acre
age will be sown to spring wheat.
The advanced wheat price and low
freight rate, $3.50, to the Atlantic sea
board should put the Inland Empire
farmer on velvet this fall with, of
course, the return of a good crop.
Flour.-The ruling of the food adj
ministration on flour substitutes has
created a strong demand for these
commodities and a number of millers
have and are making arrangements
to grind these substitutes. 1t is re
ported that new ruling on the sub
stitute business will be issued to be
effective about the first of the week
in which the number of pounds OF
substitutes will be increased material
ly, if not requiring a $3.50 division.
Feed.-Millfeed continues scarce
Mills are able to make little headway
on deliveries, due to restricted opera
tions, while the movement continues
to be limited by the freight situation
A sharp advance is noted on both oats
and barley, the price going up from
$4,000 to $1,000 per ton due to very
limited receipts and depleted stocks
Corn is also up this week from 5000
to $500 per ton.

The tobacco industry is one of the
most important in Algeria. In 1915 49,
100000 packages of cigarettes were
manufactured for interior consumption
and 66,0OO,000 packages for export, es-
pecially to French Indo-China. The
production of cigarettes has Increased
from 593 metric tons in 1901 TO 1874
in 1916. The Algerian market, there
fore, offers quite extensive field for
cigarette machinery.

Rice to Be Cheaper.

Reduction in the price Of rice is in
prospect for April /, the food admins
tration announced last Saturday. Dis
tribution figures show that there is a
surplus after deducting the million
bags purchased for export to Europe
of 15O.00O,000 pounds. This surplus
is ample for domestic requirements.
The increase in the cost of rice dur
ing the last few months, the admins
tration explains, has been due to the
fact that most rice mills weer work

PLANS TO LET JAPAN

STOP GERMAN iNVAS-
ION THERE.

so Many problems Confronting
Us That a Fixed Plan is
Unsafe Now.

ington.-Although indications
now are that the state department is
being steadily influenced to accept the
allied view that Japan alone can best
deal with the menace of German ag-
gression in Siberia, high officials init
mate that any prediction of the de-
cision of the American government
would be unsafe. Conditions were
changing so rapidly, they said, and so
many factors were continually enter
ing the problem, that the United States
was faced by new issues almost daily.
From the frequent exchanges be-
tween the entente governments and
Washington, it is understood Great
Britain and France, and possibly Italy
believe an efficient army and navy
within reach of Siberia and not other
wise engaged, and acting in conformity
with a general agreement, might be
better able to deal with the situation
than an international force.

MUCH IN LITTLE

The navy department announced re
Gently that armament of merchant YES
sells under the American flag has been
completed and a gun crew of from 16
to 80 men for each ship has been pro-
vided. The men were available, but
they had to be trained when the arma-
ment went into effect, the guns were
wanting and had TO be provided.

The food administration is empha-
sizing the necessity for drawing sup
plies from local sources of produc-
ton so far as possible. This policy
is of the largest economic advantage.
1t minimizes cost in transportation,
serves to avoid freight congestion and
to develop productive facilities that
render communities more nearly self
sustaining.
Buy at home. Concentrate pur-
chases to the largest possible degree
in the local producer, the local man
ufacturer and the local jobber, but
don't forget the local retailer. Iden-
tify yourself with this campaign, not
only by obeying its mandates, but by
taking advantage of the argument
which it affords. The purposes of the
government are best served by elm
mating so far as possible every factor
that complexities the system of distri-
button. There is nothing which tends
to the latter end to a greater degree
than the Capitalization of consumer
buying in distant markets. The de-
livery system of the mail order houses
serves not only to congest the avenues
of transportation, but it involves the
employment of more labor and COM
plicates a situation where sources of
supply should be readily accessible
and under the supervision that is
necessary to insure equitable distri-
button.
One of the definite results of this
war is the Strengthening of the ties
that bind the people together. This
does not end in our relations with
the government directly, but entails
larger concert of effort governing
, the conduct of various vocations, and
should extend to the development of
: community loyalty and mutual help
fulness. The opportunity exists for
the establishment of a closer contact
and a better understanding between
the retailer and the consumer. 1t is
, necessary, in fact, because of the edu-
cational obligation imposed upon the
dealer in accustoming his patrons to
enforced changes in conditions govern
ing merchandising. 1t should be EN-
{ ployed to solve the problem of sup
plying requirements at home. Get to
5 gether with the mail order buyers
5 Find out their viewpoint on the situa
ton. Try and make correction, il
? trade is driven away through any er
ror that can be remedied, and drive
home the fact that buying at home
0 is an essential part of the program
for community development.

Germany PLAYS Safe.

The consensus of opinion of a recent
visitor in Germany was that the great
difficulty in arriving at peace negotia-

not relinquish any military advantage
unless certain that peace negotiations

Provisions.

PROVISIONS.
Butter.-The continued firmness of
the market is still apparent and al
though the near approach of increased
milk supply should tend to put some
crimp in the strength of the situation,
nothing as yet has been indicated to
forecast any easing off in quotations.
Eggs.-Jobbers report large in
crease in receipts of fresh ranch eggs,
but a very slow consumptive demand,
thereby causing large accumulation
of stocks. A decided drop in quota
tions is noted this week and handlers
assert it will be still lower by the first
of next week and that country mer-
chants are paying too high prices to
the producers.
Fresh Meats.-Both steer and COW
beef have been advanced slightly this
week, has also pork, and packing
house factors assert that pork will go
still higher.
Poultry are very limited,
since the order of the food administra-
ton shutting off the sale of hens and
pullets until April 30, but a later order
requiring the selling of storage stocks
may help a little to relieve the situa-
ton. Quotations hold very firm at
the advance noted last week.
Lard and Cured Meats.-Both hams
and bacon have been advanced this
week and the market is stated to be
very firm at the advance with indica-
tons of still further advances.
Fruits and Produce.
Lemons hold without change at $3.50
for the fancy and $500 for choice.
In oranges the receipts are running
very much to the larger sizes and
while some handlers have advanced
prices at the bottom, the range re
mains the same as last week at $5.2s
@6.5O.
Apples have firmed up little in the
fancy grades and are now quoted al
$1.25@2.25, while cookers still hold al
$1.O0 for good stocks. Very small
sizes and culls are selling at retail fol
less money, but are probably pur
chased direct from the producer.
Bananas are moving very freely il
spite of the fact that the market i:
firmer at 534c per pound.
The spud market holds withou
change as to quotations at S1.25 fol
local and $1.35 for Yakimas. The cam
paign of the food division to stimulat'
the use of spuds will undoubtedly in
crease the volume of business con
siderably.
Dry onions have eased off a littl
and are now quoted at S2.50@2.75 pc
cwt.
Local cabbage still holds at $2.75
but car of California growth vii
be on the market the first of the weel
at sc per pound.
Garlic has taken another decline Il
: spite of it's strength and is now quote
at S@10c per pound.
