SAYS COFFEE NEVER WILL BE
LOWER

Virtual failure of this years coffee
crop in Brazil and Central America,
together with increased cost of deliv-
cry and production, will necessitate an
advance in the retail price of coffee,
according to A. H. Devers, president
of the firm of Closet & Devers, in n
statement given out this week.
Mr. Devers said that hitherto adj
vances in the wholesale cost of green
coffee, due to the war, had been alb
sorbed by the manufacturer and the
retailer, and not passed on to the con-
sumer. Present conditions, he added,
made an increase in the retail price
imperative. In the future, he said,
coffee now selling for from 45 to 80
cents per pound will retail at go cents
per pound.
Mr.. Devers continued: Several fac
tors must be considered in accounting
for the increased cost of. coffee, but
the principal reason is to be found in
the fact that after a coffee crop in
Brazil last year fully 20 per cent short
of the usual yield, this years crop,
which will be harvested beginning
about the end of May, promises to be
about so per cent short. During the
war coffee was the one staple com
modify which remained at the old
price, despite an immense increase IN
the cost of delivery and manufacture.
With the dawn of peace the coffee
growers of Brazil and Central Amer
lea recognized their opportunity to in
crease the price of the green product
In the past week there has been an
advance of from 10 to 20 per cent in
the cost of green coffee"
Considering the recent crop failure
in Brazil, which country furnishes 80
per cent of the worlds coffee, Mr..
Devers said that the increase in price
was not exhorbitant. Labor conditions
in Brazil and Central America, he eX-
planned also influenced coffee prices,
as the day of ridiculously cheap labor
in those countries was rapidly passing,
owing to the growing agitation for
better working conditions there.
Among the illiterate workers on the
coffee plantations, whose former pay
amounted approximately to 10 cents
day, he said, there was an insistent
demand for "some slight approach to a
reasonable wage"
Mr.. Devers predicted that the retail
price of coffee never would be as low
| as it was before the war.
Mr.. Devers, who has been engaged
in the coffee industry in the northwest
for thirty-six years, has several times
| visited Brazil and the central Ameri-
can states to study conditions on the
coffee plantations at first hand

THE SWEET TOOTH ERA

The people of the United States
spent three-fourths of billion for
candy last year. If national prohibit
ton ever gets completely established
these figures will be easily doubled.
AS a nation we are substituting cara
mails for cocktails and popcorn balls
for highballs.
Candy kettles and chocolate dipping
tables are being installed in breweries
and sweet shops in saloons. The old
time tippler is turning to bonbons and
the booze fighter is nibbling at wal
nut creams.
Indirectly this means boom for the
sugar beet industry, for the real es-
tate dealer and farmer.
The victims of the sweet tooth age
will not have such evils to contend
with as delirium tremens and cirrhosis
of the liver, and there will be more
employment for labor. The west is
fortunate in having a number of big
sugar companies that are bending
every effort to develop sugar beet
raising and manufacture.
The Utah Idaho Sugar Co., which is
good representative of the industry,
has just issued report which shows
total assets of $4,000, 900, of which
$18,0O0,000 are permanent. The COM
pany has 3400 stockholders and paid
the government over $1,250,000 in
come taxes in 1919. 1t manufactured
300,0O0,000 pounds of sugar last sea-
son, which put into local circulation
about $27,000,000. That's what in
dustrial development means.

This change we may easily hold Paris
responsible for. During the craze for
the long skirt here Paris slowly shook
her head in disapproval, and now we
are feeling the effects of her negative
men. Street dresses, suits, evening
gowns, every skirt is becoming
shorter. This will be Welcomed style
for the discomfort of the long tight
skirt will be eliminated. The shorter
length makes the skirt less cumber-
some about the ankle, thus affording
more freedom in walking. And free
dom in walking means grace of car
riage, so we herald the mode with a
sigh of content.
The same attitude that Paris took
toward the long skirt has been law
ished on the straw hat. Tho New
York is overrun with hats Of straw, re-
ports from Paris saw that in the res
taurant and on the street one sees
little if any hats of straw. The French
women realize the folly of rushing the
season and are clinging to their hats
which are developed in fabric. OF
these satin seems to be the most pre-
dominant material used, and usually
one finds ostrich trimming present. If
touch of spring is desired the hats
are graced with coquettish little flow
ers in pastel shades.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1919-05-02

The modes of New York are quite as
capricious as the weather. No sooner
is a style launched and accepted than
something new attracts the eye of the
designers and then-another new
mode. Such has happened with the
popular long, narrow skirt. No longer
is the long skirt the smartest thing
TO wear. Skirts are becoming shorter.

Skirts built up in tiers are especially
favored by fashion. The frock shown

and the chemissette and cuffs are of
crisp organdie. The grace of line and
simplicity of style are the salient fea-
lures. A combination of three mater
ials is seen in the suit coat illustrated.

The city council met in regular
session Wednesday night, but as only
four councilmen were present, only
routine business could be transacted.

but it could not be passed under sus-
pension of the rules as the required
number of councilmen were not pres
ent.
Engineer Riley presented his re-
port and map on the proposed sewer
age district No. 2. 1t was decided to
create a second district, and an ordi-
nance to this effect will probably be
passed at an adjourned meeting of
the council to be held tonight.

publish the following:
took In the Rhine excursion on
the 4th. This trip is being given to
most all Of the troops of the army Of
occupation and extends from Cob
lentz up the river a distance of SO
miles. Along the route there are
many interesting places and beauti-
full and interesting pictures. Even
the most casual observer would find
many things of extraordinary inter-
est, for here lies the base of many
of the beautiful myths describing, as
real stories never could, the days
when knighthood was in flower. Cob
lentz is the beginning. This city was
named by julius Caesar, from the
latin word continents, meaning flow
ing together, so named because 1t Is
here the Moselle and Rhine rivers
meet to continue as one. There is a
statue of William / at the conjunc-
tion of these two rivers, which Is said
to be the largest equestrian statue in
the world. To myself picture this
statue to hold the place in Deutsch-
land that the Statue Of Liberty does
in America. 1t really does not though,

mind on the boat, because / was

twelve of the Knights Templar were
killed in the year 1912. These men

GOOD RECORD MADE
BY ONE DURHAM COW.

Some farmers have commended that
dairy cows do not pay in this country
where the cost of hay is so high. This
may be true in the case of very poor
cows, and farmers should keep a dali
ly record and find out whether or not
their cows are really paying. Besides
the good that will come of it, they
will find such record very interest
ing.
The following is a record of a Dur
ham cow owned by j. M. Cummings,
from August "a, 1918, to March 81,
1919. For the remainder of August
the COW produced 339 pounds, Sep
TENDER 1921, October 1876, Novem-
Der 839, DECEMBER 799, January 1875,
February 1856, March 863. This makes
a total amount of 6.S08 pounds for a
little more than months. Since a
pound is approximately a pint, the
COW has produced 3,404 quarts. AT
6 cents a quart this milk is worth
$204.24. The average test for butter
fat was AS per cent. This means that
she produced 306.36 pounds of butter
fat or about 357.42 pounds of salable
butter which would be worth $214.35
at 60 cents pound. The COW cost
1925 and she has eaten $50 worth of
hay In the Z months. Her calf sold
for SIT. The total expense for the
cow and the hay was $185 and the
value of the butter and the calf was
$231.35. The net profits therefore
would be $46.35 besides having the
COW thrown in.

Just across the river from Cob
lentz Is Ehrenbretstein, the location Of
a large fort. The fort is situated on
a peak and commands a view of the
entire country as far as one can see.
The fort is amply large to accommo-
date 10000 men and there was at all
times, before and during the war,
food and munitions enough stored
there to last the garrison several
months, in case Of siege. At present
the stars and stripes fly over the
fort, and you may be sure 1t is a
sight that makes a man think, too.
AS one gazes upon the old flag he can
not help but marvel at the difference
its people have made. 1t seems to be
just a little more than the symbol
OF victorious nation. 1t seems to
fly there symbolical of all that Is
good and pure. Even the old moss
grown walls OF the fort seemed bet
ter for the effect on the morning of
March 4th than they did when l flrst
saw them on a rainy evening in Janu-

boys now occupy this fort.
