MARKET At SPOKANE.

AS the general economic situation
is more fully and carefully analysed,
there is a growing feeling of opti-
mism that readjustment is to be &C.
complished with less of friction and
more stability than many have an
ticipated, and the outlook is regarded
as indicative of we'll sustained activi-
ties.
Crop prospects, so far as they can
be determined upon at this season.
indicate another year of maximum
production, and good prices. While
the fact that wheat is always recog-
nized as a basic price-maker, and that
the fixed quotations made by the gov
eminent for the 1919 crop will be
upon the same basis as year ago,
will of itself exercise a controlling in
fluence upon agricultural productions,
it is also true that the worlds food
stuffs supply cannot be restored to
the normal, much less adjusted to en-
larged consumptive requirements, for
a considerable time to come.
Groceries.
With few notable exceptions, sta
pie foodstuffs are holding steady and
there is renewed confidence in the
situation so far as the present and
immediat future are concerned. Dis.
tribution is seasonable.
Provisions.
Butter - The market on fresh
creamery is sagging under mild
weather generally, increased produc-
ton and light demand. Conditions
permitting increased production are

age holdings of creamery butter were
100000 pounds short of the holdings
on the same date a year previous.
| cents, butterfat GO cents and storage
butter IS cents, if there is any.
Cheese-The stoc kof American
cheese in cold storage on January /
amounted to 2O,785,OOO pounds, this
being about 100000 pounds less than
last years holdings on the same date.
So there may be an acute shortage
before fresh stocks become plntiful
in June. However, current demand
is not heavy and prices are steady
at 5000 cents.
Eggs-The market on fresh con-
tinues to slump, prices being off about
81 to SIG to the producer, jobbing at
about SIT. Mild weather and in.
creased production is the cause. Stor
age stocks were practically exhausted
all over the country, the last closing
out here at SIG.
Poultry-An increase of So per cent
in poultry held in cold storage on Jan
uary 1, 1919, compared with stocks on
the same date last year is shown by
the cold storage report of the bureau
of markets, United States department
of agriculture. Total stocks on Janu
airy 1, 1919, reported by 1874 storages
were 106,917,290 pounds. No change
in local quotations.

HOOVER WOULD TRY
AND PROTECT BOTH
OURS OF MORE CONCERN THAN
THE MEAT PACKERS FUTURE,
SAYS HOOVER.
FARMER AND PACKER NEED AID
But in Period Between Armistice and
Peace Situation PerpIexes-Next
Six Weeks of Production Sea-
son Hard to Manage.

Paris.-Herbert Hoover, the United
States food administrator and direc-
tor-general of the international relief
organization, gave out this statement
this week.
THE dominating food problem in
the United States at this moment is a
very much bigger problem than the.
Chicago packers. 1t is the problem
of the American farmer.
IF the packers profit of two or
three per cent on his turnover is too
high, it is the duty of congress to tax
it out of him. If the farmers prices
threaten to fall below the level of a
fair return, it behooves the country to
do some quick, clear thinking.
1.-THE perplexities arising out Of in
ability to demobilize totally the food
situation of the world in the period
between the armistice and peace make
the farmers position in the matter of
much more immediate concern than
the future of the Chicago packers.
Taking it broadly, before the Eu-
ropean war began we exported about
100000 tons Of food a year. This
year we are prepared to export at the
rate of from 100000 to 100000
tons. The increase represents the
patriotic service of the American far
mer, plus the voluntary sacrifices of
the average American under the slim
ulation of the pleas from the allied
governments that without an enor-
nous increase in our food supplies
their very lives would be menaced.
Facing a Difficult Period.
I'VE are thus faced with serious
problem with respect to our own great
supplies, periodically accumulated. If
an early peace is signed and the mar
kets Of Europe are opened freely to
trade, there will be a greater demand
for food from the new mouths than
even this surplus could supply. But
in the period between the armistice
and peace we have a very difficult
situation.
Zone of the most critical food short
ages in the world was that of fats,
and the only help lay in an increase
in the American hog. Our agricultur-
al department and the food admins.
tration spared no efforts to stimulate
this production. Our farmers were
assured that in the general shortage,
subject only to the uncertainties of
war, they would experience no diff.
Guilty in marketing their products.
Due to the savings of our people and
the gradual increased production of
our farmers, we have lifted our ability
to export from 5O,OO0,000 pounds of
fats per month in the summer of 1917
to 4O0,O0O,0O0 pounds per month in
this January.
"To achieve this mobilization OF
fats it was necessary to mobilize the
packers as we'll as the farmers. There
is no doubt that the vast volume OF
business brought profit to the pack
ers, although at less percentage
than before the food administration
took charge of it.
Immediate Protection Vital.
"Other factors have entered into
the situation. For instance, the in
active armies and munition workers
are consuming less fats and the veg
etable is freed for human consump
ton"

THIRTIETH COMES
TO CHARLESTON
South Carolina Soldiers Land at
Home-Date Not Yet Fixed-Sec-
retary Baker Tells Senator Pol
lock Port of This State Has
Been Selected.

Washington, Jan. 14.-Despite re-
ports recently sent out from Wash
ington to papers in the South that
the men of the Thirtieth Division
would not embark at Charleston,
the matter was definitely settled here
today when Secretary Baker inform
ed Senator Pollock that Charleston
had been designated for this purpose.
This puts all doubt aside.
No date has yet been set for the
return of the men, but this will also
be made known to Senator Pollock
in a few days.
The Tennessee troops will go to
Fort Oglethorpe for rehabilitation,
those from South Carolina to Sewer
and those from North Carolina most
likely to Camp Greene at Charlotte.
This information should be good
"ews to those persons in South Caro-
lima who have relatives and friends
in the Thirtieth Division and there
will doubtless be many happy rela-
tives of the men in the State when
the information given Senator Pol
lock today becomes known.
1t is understood here that just as
oon as the sailing date of the ship
upon which the South Carolina men
leave is learned, preparations will be
made for their formal welcome home,
ither in Charleston or Columbia, and
that they will also be given some
'orm of recognition when they reach
Greenville.
Senator Pollock announced today
that he will address the senate during
the present week regarding league
Of nations and a little later on he
will give his views on woman suf-
frage.
Representative Byrnes has taken
up with Secretary Baker the matter
Of S;immediately releasing from the
service farm laborers of the South.
Mr.. Byrnes contends that farmers are
now making arrangements for the
making Of another crop and that un-
less laborers are now released it will
be difficult for them to- secure en-
ployment after the farmers have
made their arrangements.

Figures-Rate for Amusements-
One Cent on Each Ten Cents
Paid up TO Thirty Cents Was
Amount Fixed.

on luxuries, semi-luxuries, amuse-
ment admissions and club dues were
agreed upon today by the senate and
house conferees on the war revenue
bill. Practically all of the senate's
rates on luxuries and semi-luxuries
were accepted by the house conferees

managers, said. Under the agree
meme reached the amusement admis-
sion tax will be one cent on each
ten cents paid up to 80 cents and two
cents on each dime paid in excess of
80 cents.
The house rate of two cents on
each ten cents paid for admission to
roof gardens, cabarets and similar
establishments, was adopted as was
the house rate of 25 per cent. instead
of the senate rate of 10 per cent. on
theater boxes.
It is estimated that about $75,000-
900 in revenue will be secured annu-
ally from amusement admissions un-
der the conference agreement.
The house rate of 20 per cent. on
club dues, double the tax under ex-
isting law and estimated to raise

ture frames, travelling bags, pocket
books, umbrellas, fans, hats, shoes,
stocinkgs and other articles.
The luxury rate provides s per
cent. taxes on manufacturer sales
of motor vehicles, tires and accessor-
les, pianos, talking machines, candy
and similar articles, 10 per cent. on
athletic goods, liveries, furs, yachts,
and motor boats, and 3 per cent. on
chewinor OHM and toilet soans
Decisions on q few Of the luxury
taxes were tentative and those on
some others were left open for fur
ther consideration.
To dispose Of miscellaneous and
minor taxes in the bill the conferees
temporarily passed the war excess
profits and other important and con-
troverted sections.

The people of Abbeville were
shocked and saddened Tuesday when
the news went around town that Mac
Henry was dead. In the afternoon
telegram came from his home in
Jackson, Miss, saying that he was
critically i'll with pneumonia which
was tse first news his home people
had of his sickness. In about two
hours another message came saying
that he was dead.
McIlwain Henry, known to all our
people as Mac, was the fifth child of
the late Francis Henry and his wife,
Sarah Hill Henry, and was born and
reared in Abbeville, and lived all his
time here until the choice of an oc-
cupation in life took him to Mississ-
ippi. He was a graduate of Clemson
College and was a young man of
many sterling qualities. He held a
responsible position with the Buck
eye Oil Company, and seemingly had
many long and useful years ahead
of him.
About three years ago he was
happily married to Miss Viola Haber-
er Of Ozark, Ark, and she with q
little daughter eleven months old,
survive him.
Mr.. Henry is survived by his mo-
ther, and the following sisters and
brothers: Mrs. W. E. Leslie, Mrs. G..
A. Neuffer, and Mrs. J. C. Hill, of
,beville, and Mrs. ]. C.. Doty, Of
Winnsboro, and Prof. David q. Hen
~ Of Clemson, Albert Henry and a
half brother, Mr.. w. A. Calvert, Of
Abbeville.
Prof. Henry and Mr.. Albert Henry
left at once for Mississippi, but so
far no definite news has been receiv-
ed as to the funeral arrangements.
Mrs. Henry, the young wife, and
baby, are both seriously i'll with in
fuenza, and this may prevent the
bringing of the remains to his child
hood home.
A young man of affairs, cut down
in the morning of life, this death is a
peculiarly sad one and the sympa-
'hies of our people 60 out to the
desolate wife and to the bereaved
mother and family.
