COFFEE SELLS FAST
WHILE PRICES SOAR
Central Empires Swell De-
mand, Frost Hurts

The soaring OF Coffee prices hai
caused Pendleton people to lay in al
early supply of the product, with tn,
result that local stores are selling NOR,
coffee than ever before, say dealers
of this city.
Recently sold a man l25 pound
drum of coffee" said leading PEN
dleton merchant today. "If he should
return tomorrow and ask for similar
drum of the coffee, it would cost him
five cents n pound more"
! According TO the. retailers, they nre
not making a large profit from the in
crease in price. They state further
that the profit is smaller than when
prices were lower. This is in part due
to the fact that prices are going up so
rapidly that it is hard to set fixed re-
tail price which would be asked by all
merchants.
NJ. V. Leeder, of the j. A. Folger
company, who is a Pendleton visitor.
says that according to information
from his company, the increase in cof-
fee prices is due to several reasons,
one being tremendous demand since
the signing of the armistice from coun-
tries which have been limited in sup
ply or entirely deprived during the
last three Years of the war. After the
stock of coffee was exhausted in Ger

ries. When supplies were surrepti- |
lously obtained through neutral coun-
rles, the demand was limited because 1

mans and their allies. Thus it has

ause of restrictions, not at cents but

Another condition, according to
ir. Leeder which led to high prices

president when he said:

make such an appeal TO you. In ordi-
nary times divided counsels can be
endured without permanent hurt TO
the country. But these are not ordi-
nary times.
Between the truthfulness of
President Wilson and the truth
fulness of the Oregonian edi-
torial writer people may judge
for themselves. The East Ore
gonian granted sincerity to the
president last fall and does so
now. His appeal did not 'jeo-
pardize" the nation or the
world. The danger last fall
arose not from the presidents
words but from the manner in
which a partisan press includ-
ing the Oregonian misrepre-
sented his straightforward
statement. If the people had
to choose now between Lodge,
Knox and other hell raisers and
President Wilson with his con-
structive plans for peace and
prosperity there is little ques-
ton how they would line up.
The Oregonian yesterday
concluded an editorial by ask
ing the East Oregonian for its
idea "as to the merit and quail
ity of President Wilson's We
hement and outright denuncia-
ton Of Senator Chamberlain"
The answer is that the presi-
dents words about Senator
Chamberlain related to war
department controversy and
not in any manner to the pre-
negatives of the senate in con-
nection with the peace treaty.
The Oregonian knows this
and knows its question is not to
the point.
The Oregonian has answered
this papers request for evi-
dence against the president by
evasion and by saying in effect
that the president lied in his
frank appeal last fall. If that
is all the Oregonian can offer
it offers nothing.
