This Weeks Fair Price List
Reveals Upward Change.
for Eggs and Butter.


Several changes arc noted in this
weeks fair price list Of the District
food administration. Advances In
price arc recorded for eggs butter.
butter substitutes and lard. and slight
decreases in wheat -four substitutes
and rolled oats.
Fresh eggs took a rise Of cent? q
which, sold for Sc cents a dozen last
week. are now So cents. and current
receipt eggs Jumped from -6S' to. Is
cents, an increase of cents.
All grades Of butter show increassal
The best table variety, which sold Tor
10 cents, has increased cents a pound
and is now u cents Cold storage but
ter in prints advanced from Sc to So
prints from 81 to So cents. Oleo-
margarine did not escape, the COM
mon variety selling for 40 cents, as
compared with 80 cents last week, and
the nut oleomargarine bringing 81
cents an increase of a cent pound.
these commodities pure lard remains
as last week at S5 cents pound,
while compound lard was showed up
from 20 to 81 cents a pound.
The reason given by the District
IN the price of eggs is that the COM
petition among consumers for the
best eggs due to the possession Of the
necessary money to have the best on
the market has been Keen, while the
hens have not been quite so keen in
laying the eggs. thus resulting In a far
greater demand than supply,
Lard, according to the administra
ton. took an upward leap because
dealers were not being allowed suffi-
Gent margins Of profit In accordance
with the rulings OF the United States
food administration. ~.
The acute need Of beef and fats Is
given as the reason for the increase
In the price Of butter.

SITUATION ON WESTERN FRONT
GIVES NO GREAT CAUSE FOR ALARM

The following explanation OF af-
fairs at the lighting front and the
probable results OF the present great
battle Is given by former officer Of
the entente powers who is familiar
with the plans Of campaign ani
knows In detail the country over
which the battle Is raging. This
statement makes the position OF the
allies clear and relleves any anxiety
as TO the possibility OF defeat in the
present battle;
Along the line OF the German
forces on the western front are
three ridges, These ridges were to
be the pivot OF the German attack
and were to be taken at all cost. The
British plan Is quite the opposite.
The British are to hold these three
ridges so the German armies viii
have to drive through between them
In two wedges. AS result the
Hun army viii be under a helllsh
Are from the front. the sides and
the base OF thes ridges, One of these
wedges has actually been made.
The British viii make every effort
TO induce the Hun to start another
wedge to the north OF the present
one. n they can. the Germans last
chance win be gone. II, however,
the Germans decide to fight on the
|ons wedge only the war mnv 20 on
for some time, for the war is war
|of extinction,
THE Germans told the world that
the wedge would sever the French
and British armies. but this is Inn
possible.
Rogue River courier. (Grants Pass, Or.) 19??-1918, 1918-04-07

Many have been terrified at the
thought OF the capture OF Paris by
the Hun The allies are willing that
Paris be captured II the Germans
are willing to pay the price. which Is
a million men. There are now no
vital points as there have been IN
other wars. Paris. or any other
point may fall. hut It viii count
nothing in particular for either side.
Earlier in the fighting the Britt
ish came near losing the miliienl
men. They we're nearly bottled up
In the north of Frances II the Ger
mans had broken the line, and ls
the Hun U-boats had. in this case
been able to keep the British navy
from taking OF the men. there
would have been big surrender
All possibility Of that is now past
Several days ago there was great
talk Of British counter drive, This
will not come on for a fortnight be-
cause the British are waiting until
the Germans have put as many men
In the salients as possible. When
the Germans have filled the wedges
and will put no moro men into them.
the allies reserves viii draw the
strings OF the bagl and end the war.
At present the British have BIZ;
force In the trenches and three times
as many mon In the strategis I reserve
SO they will be amply able to shoul-
der In at the bases Of the wedges
and cut on the Germans. the allies
win then let tho Boche do what be
wants 10. He may fight or surren-
der, but In either case he is a
goner.''
