Market Quotations for the
Housewife.


At last we are to have an ADEQUATE
answer to the eternal question, what
is really fair price for me to pay for
the food which goes to my table,
The answer comes in the fornf of
lists Of wholesale and retail prices
prepared under the auspices of the
Federal Food Administrators and in
the various states and printed in the
newspapers. called Market Quotati-
ons. for the Housewife" or by some
lsnch title. Along with the price list
there may be short statements telling
facts Of interest about different foods.
These shoppers guides are now
appearing in many of the big city
dallies and in smaller newspapers
Throughout the country.
BY consulting this table one can
see whether or not she is contributing
more than fair profit to the sup
port of the wholesaler or the retailer.
And it also vfndicates the wholesale
or retail dealer from many accusa-
tiOns, if he is not guilty.
So great has been the success of
this newspaper first aid to the shop
the Federal Food Administrators of
make it general.
Each state and each locality has it's
own problem to be considered. A plan
favored by many of the Administra-
tors is to have one representative
from each class of retailers to com
pose general conference board,
from which is selected an executive
committee to determine fair margins

listed.
There is also in some communities
an interpreting board composed of
one representative from each OF the
several classes of retailers, one from
the wholesale produce men, one from
each other important interest whose
prices are to be Eascertained. The
chairman of. this committee is often
of the staff of the state Food
and has as his aides
two experts in food subjects, all three
There are frequently footnotes ap-
pended to the list of prices calling
particular attention to commodities
that are scarce. those that are normal
and those that are plentiful.
This gives the buyer the retailer
and the wholesaler an opportunity to
cooperate, share the benefits and
of buying and selling foods,
and generally understand each other
better.
It Is not necessary to tell any house
wife to study these. tables: she can see
for herself the benefit TO be derived
from them.

ISPOSING of what you have or getting
what you want is no longer matter of
luck. , g
It's a matter of going after. the peo-
pie whom YOU want to reach. ---s
Thomas Dreier, editor of Associated
Advertising" the official organ of the
Associated Advertising Clubs of Amer
lea, said recently: "The way to get
what you want is to find out the man
who's got it, and then go after him and
hang on" aas 80 .zes
And isn't that good logic? Isn't it
fact that none of us is really independ-
ent-that we are all interdependent--
that the things one man has serve to
supply the needs of some other man
that we are all subject to the great law
of Supply and Demand? ..
Take the Want Ads, for instance. Do
they not form daily market place
where the man who wants to sell can
get in touch with the man who wants to
bIly-where the woman who wants a
domestic can get the attention of the
domestic who wants job-where the
man who is looking for a position can
reach the eye of the employer who is
looking for men?
venture the assertion that eight
persons in every ten have never thought
about, and consequently never realized,
the far-reaching power of the Want
Ad columns in The East Oregonian.
The people who use the Want Ads
aren't trusting to luck.
They are going after what they want
in a mighty quick, sure and inexpensive
way

MUM upon ineflleiency, Incompetence

lector for the State and County, and
was so derellct in his duty that he and
his bond were sued by the Board Of
County Commissioners; two different
receivers were appointed to undertake
The completion Of his collections and to
unscramble the tangled up condition
OF his accounts. HIS bonding company
finally made settlement by payment OF
about $4,000 and in order to protect
the bonding company special legislation
was nece ssry to enable II to collect
amounts due as FAR back at 1910.
