MARKET AT SPOKANE.

The general situation is one of con-
tinued and more complete adjustment
to war basis. Governmental regu-
lations and price fixing loom larger,
successive draft calls reduce supplies
of labor and as the government must
have the essentials, civilian needs are
becoming secondary considerations.
Nevertheless, business operations gen.
orally are active and appear to be on
healthy sound basis.
Provisions.
Butter-Local quotations are up 4
cents on creamery grades at 4s@46
cents, with corresponding advance
in butter fat. The advance is a read
justment to get in line with markets
elsewhere and a seasonable devel-
opment.
Eggs.-Prices are the same as last
week, S10.S0 @$11.OO to the producer
and S12@S12.5O wholesale. Produc-
ton is falling off, with market firm
and further advances appear inevita-
BILE.
Poultry-There are no changes ex-
cept that broilers are more plentiful
and have declined. Enough hens are
coming in to supply light demands at
prevailing prices. Ducks, geese and
turkeys inactive.
Fresh Meats.-In the dressed list,
beef, veal and mutton are lower
Spokane union stockyards reports hog
receipts for the week ending Wednes-
day at 243 with market steady and
prices without material change. Cat
tie receipts were 1928, market steady,
with quotations slightly lower. Sheep
receipts 1879, market steady, prices
unchanged.
Lard and Cured Meats.-Lard is off
1-2 cent this week to 26% cents and
trade is sluggish, probably due to in
creasing call for substitutes. Hams
and bacon are unchanged and active
Hides and Wool.-There are no
changes in either division and gov
eminent requirements and control OF
supplies is the dominating feature.
Fruits and Vegetables.
The advancing season, with warm
weather and a belated rain, is bring

beTIleS.- otTdWDeTrleS are slightly
lower at $3.50 but local receipts are
about over. The crop here, and gen
orally, was short on account of dry
weather, and the rain here came toe
late to help much. Red raspberries
from Puyallup and blackberries from
the Kennewick district are now open
ing at $500 and $500 respectively.
Apples.-New apples in small lots
are coming from Yakima opening al
$1.50 for half boxes. Old stocks have
been practically off the local mar
ket for several weeks. Prospects fol
the northwestern crop are reported
good.
Other Crops.-Cherries have declin

to become plentiful and are lower al

ITALIANS KEEP ON
DRIVING HUNS BACK
CAPTURE MONTE DI VALBElLA
AND HOLD 1T AGAINST
COUNTER ATTACKS.
OFFENSIVE MOVE, A SURPRISE
French Beat Germans-Attack North
Of ciingan River and Bring Back
265 Hun Captives-Use of
Baby Trucks eFature.

Attacking the Austro-Hungarian line
on the Asiago plateau the Italians
have taken Monte di Valbella, cap
tured 500 prisoners, and have held it
against repeated counter-attacks.
Offensive Comes as Surprise.
This turn ii the offensive came as
surprise to the laymen of the al
lied world for it was believed that
General Diaz would be content to
hold his lines by the mountains
against a new offensive, intended by
the Austrians and Germans.
The Italian attack was not limited
to Monte di Valbella. On the left
bank of the Brenia they captured the
height of Sasso Rosso, just north of
the village of Valstagna.
These actions may explain the fail
ure of the Italians to pursue the Aus
TRANS across the Piave when, on
June 90, the enemy fled from the
west bank with a haste that indicat-
ed something of decentralization.
French Take Prisoners.
The French are continuing their
pibbling north of the Marine. Friday
they swept the Germans from the
environs of Villiers-Cotterets forest,
southwest of scissors. Saturday
night they attacked the German lines
little to the north of the Clingan
river and just to the left of positions
held by Americans. A long ridge
between the villages of Monsloy and
Passy-en-Valots was occupied and 265
prisoners taken. Near st. Pierre AL
gle the French positions were improv
ed by local attack.
The British repulsed an enemy
assault near Merris, near where the
Germans were driven back east OF
Nieppe forest on Friday. The British
official statement mentions heavy
German artillery fire before Amiens
near Albert; north of the Scarpe
near Arras, and in the region of Fes
tubert, northwest of Lens.
Baby Tanks Active.
Successive waves of speedy baby
tanks, followed by infantry in a swift
attack on a three and a half mile
front between Villers Cotterets for
est and the Aisne recently have beer
the outstanding feature of the fight
ing on the French front since the en-

eronage and enjoy a chat in a cozy corner in one of the reception rooms. Men will meetfheir wives and mothers who come down for Thanksgiving evening.
 The soldiers will have their big din her in the middle of the day and then the majority of them will enjoy the games of the afternoon and the en- tertainments at night.
 Of course, the weather will have something to do with the sports. For instance the sailors in training on the old Exposition Grounds at San Diego, California, will eat their Thanksgiving dinner in the open amid flowers and beautiful shrubbery, while men in the | camps near Canada may have their sports in the snow, when snow shoeing and siedding may be enjoyed. Down South there will be the great summer game for all Americans, baseball, run ming races and hurdling.
 At all the camps there will surely be Q dance and John" and Mary will dance as they did before the war-and there will be a "set out' too for the Camp Community Association leaves

also be & feature for the day, first, because the boys are fond of the sport, and second, because it is looked upon as one of the most important factors in preparing men for battle. There will be free theatre tickets for the boys who want to come to town to see a show on Thanksgiving night.
 The Government has prepared a big dinner with plenty of turkey, oysters and deserts, and the boys will have a real American Thanksgiving.
 All day long the Cafeteria at the Hostess House will be open, and if a soldier wants to treat his best girl to ice cream after he has had his dinner, he will be able to do so. There have been ordinary days when several hun dred men and girls have stood in line fer this treat. which makes the soldier feel that he is not depending on the | Government for everything.
 There will be concerts, amateur per formances by the soldiers and shows by theatrical people at the camps. | There will be dances at the community houses and a general good time. A soldier or sailor is always pie turesque and 1t is undeniably true, that the girl loves "brass buttons," and the Hostess House has been a wonder ful thing to them, for there they can ] meet young men under proper chap

given the affair for the soldiers and he took great pains to find out what the boy enjoyed doing. The soldier met the niece of the Hostess, who in- sisted upon dancing with him. After it was all over the soldier thanked the lady. T know I am awful tough,'' he said, "but I am not used to nice wom- en treating me decent and I don't de- serve it."
 Then the lady came out grandly in her answer, which shows how the good women of our country feel to- wards the boys who have not so much worldly goods and education as the others. You are going over to fight for us and our best is none too good for you"
 \ Great Thanksgiving
 It will give us an additional cause for thanks to our Creator, to bring into closer sympathy the men and boys in khaki, who when they return to civil life will be thrown into differ ent ties and bind them together in a firmer determina ton to work out the serious problems of our glorious coun- try to the end that there shall be less selfishness in business, more courage in diversity and, above all, a greater desire to share good fortune as well as bear each others troubles.
 This Thanksgiving day will be mem- orable for all time for those at the cantonments, for those at home and still at business, and for those lover there," all actuated by one common purpose and giving praise and thanks for one common end While our sol diers and sailors at the cantonments are spending the day in devotion and innocent pleasure, it must not be for gotten that on the blood-stained soil of France their comrades in arms are offering up their lives, that the rest of us and all posterity may give thanks to Almighty God for that race of men that freely give their all that the world may be fit to live(in. This Thanksgiving Day will be more than the one last year, al day of special significance to those who serve under the Stars and Stripes, for it will see with brighter prospects the dawn of triumphant peace, made possible through the Grace of God, by the prompt, resolute and determined spirit of invincible Americanisrn.

Save By Using Furnace
 Fires for Cooking

SE N EASY way to conserve fuel in
 cooking is by utilizing the fur
 mace fire. Dishes that can be y g cooked in 8 casserole are be- coming more and more popular and the furnace offers an economical way of preparing them.
 Every furnace has, just within the coaling door. a wide ledge capable of holding a good-sized vessel. This ledge is an excellent place for cooking dishes which require slow baking or a sort of stewing. Beans as prepared in New England are deliciously cooked on this ledge For them an earthen pot is even better than a casserole. It should be large enough to contain an extra amount of water. for the evaporation is more rapid in so highly-heated a place than in a stove or range oven.
 A bean-pot, an earthenware vessel with a handle making it look almost like a mug, is the best kind of utensil as it has something by which it can be moved.
 The shape and size of the bean-pot leaves space on the ledge for some other vessel. Puddings and escalIoped dishes can be well-cooked and soup can be made to simmer if the fire is at a low temperature. Casserole cook cry also adapts itself to furnace prep aration especially in the unglazed foreign casseroles. The glazed articles may crack in time under such heat as glows in a furnace.

also be sung as will lover There, !" which always goes with a snap, but Julia Ward Howe's great poem will be given the greatest honor.
 We are all creatures of environment and as our army is recruited without a question as to former living condi- tions the poor rub elbows with the rich and develope comradeship al most impossible in civil life. Some men have never been away from home before and are naturally timid, some have never read or cared to read, oth- CTS have never met the right sort of women, and how to mix these men is a problem.
 The time was when man in uni form was not welcome at a public dance, especially in cities where naval stations existed, and at times a soldier or sailor was looked upon as a neces- sary evil and not a member of good society. This has been changed and today the wealthiest residents of our cities welcome the man in uniform to their homes. Many of these boys who never had Q chance took to study and by close observation of his wealthy and refined "bunkie" he has changed in many ways, and is now able to take his place anywhere. Some great author has said, "Death makes all men brothers" It also applies to war, for it has been proven that this great conflict has had the same effect on men.
 A story illustrating this leaked out after a Thanksgiving dance last year, which shows how our women are help ing in the cause of making over our men before they go to the front.
 It seems that soldier at one of the dances was walking around in a lonely fashion looking as though he wanted to dance, but feared refusal from the nice looking girls who were present. The wife of the manager no ticcd this and came up. q see you g:e not dancing" she said. Wont you G42ce with me?

 Fowl
 Wash and wipe the fowl inside and outside. Salt it thoroughly inside and outside. Truss the fowl and roast until thoroughly done. When done the juice of the bird will run out per fectly clear. This equally sure test for all poultry, but be sure to pierce the bird in several places or the breast might be done and the back not sufff- ciently cooked. If a roasting pan with cover is used it will not be neces- sary to baste the fowl. If an open pan is used, baste often, covering with papers or cloth if browning too rapidly.
 If stufing is desired only put in enough to season the bird and bake the rest in a pan, for such stuffing in the bird lengthens the time for roast HE dud oO IIlCthGo IL dLy C1l1u sO1 pOOI flavor.

 Community Singing
 Community singing is one of the real sports of the camps, and special singing teachers have been engaged to teach the boys. One of the first things to be done in many camps on this Thanksgiving morning will be a grand chorus of Julia Ward Howes' Battle Hymn of the Republic. The boys have been practicing it with their leader who declares they sing it with the greatest reverence and every time they sing it . thrill runs through the hall ''In the beauty of the lilies Christ

CannD Commissions

Shortly after war was declared a Commission on War Training Camp Work was organized, and for the first time in history the personal and moral welfare of our soldiers became a part of the Governments business. Space ill each cantonment had already been allotted for '. M c. A, Knights of Columbus and a Jewish Welfare House.
 These were, of course. to be open to soldiers without regard to color and to be non-sectarian, and a Jew was as welcome at the Knights of Columbus House as a Catholic was at the Jewish | Welfare House. Societies vied with each other in giving the boys whatever pleasure they could. Churches and clubs were asked to help and these were open houses for the soldier man | in every city. Now that Thanksgiving, i the great American festival is coming 1 on, men appointed by the War Camp l Community have appointed sport di- | rectors and Thanksgiving day will find the soldiers ready for great times at the cantonments, where there will be football, baseball and all sorts of i athletic sportss
