(Memphis Commercial AppeaD
We are looking at a grocery adver-
tisment. The grocer offers to sell
sliced breakfast bacon at 81 cents a
pound and Sc cents pound. He Of
fers to sell smoked bacon at 80 cents
pound. Smoked bacon is better
than the breakfast bacon. A pound
of smoked bacon has as much food
value as pound of sliced shavings,
called breakfast bacon. Not much
of this smoked bacon will be sold. It
is not put up in cartons. 1t is not
sliced. 1t is not "the thing" 1t is
not expensive enough.
Creamery butter is quoted at rs
cents a pound and pure oleomargarine
at 80 cents. Oleomargarine is purer
than the butter. 1t has as much food
value as the butter. But the cleo.
margarine will not sell as the butter
sells. Once chrysanthemums sold
for dime apiece. Now the ill-smell.
ing things fetch dollar. A woman
walked into store yesterday and
bought three preserved sliced or.
anges in a bottle. She paid $1.5O for
the bottle. She could buy the or.
anges of Is cents and by spending
five cents more secure the sam ere.

salary Of $4,000. The mechanic
drawing $4,000 salary wanted 49,.
600. He was forced to ask $4,000, he
said, because of the high cost of food
and clothing. He sported hand
some pair Of silk socks. He was
asked what he paid for the socks
and he said, $3.50, but few years

drawing $4,000 a year exhibited o
pair of white cotton socks. 1t was
summertime and they were just as
comfortable as the silk socks. The
man wearinf the white socks paid
rs cents for them. They were more
sanitary than the silk pair. The bad
dye in the black socks might poison

the lettuce crop. The double demand
coming at this time it is feared may
cause considerable loss to the ship
pers unless relief is given immedi
aiely.
During the week ending December
I, last year. Florida shipped LOO
cars of citrus fruits, during the week
of December IA, 1913 cars; Of De-
cember 81, 1,471 cars, and of Deem
Der %, 1872 cars. These figures show
total of 1896 cars of fruit in las,
December.
The crop is heavier this year, but
even on the same basis, with more
than 1000 cars of fruit that should
have gone forward during October
and November yet hanging on the
trees on December /, waiting only a
few cold nights to prepare it for the
packing houses, the demand for cars
during December would seem to ap-
proach close to 1000 cars or an av-
erage of close to 400 cars day.
To December 6 Florida had shipped
5,5SS cars Of citrus fruit. OF this
number 2,671 were oranges and 2,917
grapefruit. To December 7 last yeai
! the total movement had attained 6 7O7
cars, or an excess over this years
movement of Lilo cars.
The movement OF oranges last week
was 1858 cars, On the corresponding
week last year the output was GAL
cars. The grapefruit movement last
week was 277 cars compared with 159
cars last year.
The weathe is much cooler now
and the usual December movement is
on and preparations are being made
! to handle this in addition to the fruit
which should have been shipped dur
ing November. The orange shipments
last week exceeded those of the week
previous by more than 300 cars
The following tables set forth the
carlot movement of grapefruit and
oranges to date with comparative fig

FUEL FAMINE IN: TEN DAYS Is
Most Serious Shortage in History
! Looms as Possibility

Chicago, NOV. H.-Unless the
coal strike is settled and miners go
back TO work within the next ten
days, the country will be face to
face with the most serious fuel
shortage: in it's, history. 1t was
predicted yesterday by members Of
the Central Western Regional Coal
Committee. Since, the strike was
called no coal has been produced BY
any Of the big mines. Output,
from small producers, operated by
nontunion men, is inconsequential
when the needs of the entire. coun.
try are considered.

pleted,n said B. j., Rowe, chair
man of the Central Western Com.

necessary to hold up deliveries ex-
