both absurd and utterly groundless.
Sometime ago one of the anti league
organs came out with a flaring write
up saying that both Olsness and Oh
son had repudiated the league pro-
gram. But since both of these gen
tlemen have come out under their own
signatures and proved that these
things are a vile falshood none Of the
anti-league papers have had sand to
say that they were in the wrong. Be
fair, you Of the opposition, and do not
resort to lies and intrigue. If you
were only fair in your dealings you
might get somewhere with your case.
But your boat is loaded to the deck
with falsehoods and fabrications. You
will sink in the stagnant waters Of
your own villification and there will
be no helping hand to help you back
into North Dakota, the land Of pro-
mise.

Why did not these self-appointed re-

HEALTH BOARD IS
OPPOSED TO CLOSING
SAYS INFLUENZA SITUATION
DOES NOT WARRANT OFF,
CIAL ACTION is ABATING.

So far as the city officials of Daw-
son are concerned the recommended
ton of the County Medical Associa-
ton that all schools, churches, thea
tiers and other places of public meet
ing in the county be closed as a
means of combating the influenza
epidemic did not receive favorable
consideration.
The matter was referred to the
city health board, which is composed
of Councilmen English and McLen-
don and DIR. W. H. Gardner, which
later reported to Mayor McNulty as
follows:
"We, the undersigned members of
city health board, beg to report that
we have Investigated carefully into
the existing health conditions, and
after talking with several doctors
and Superintendent Dukes, of the
schools, and from the best informa-
ton obtainable, the general opinion
seems to prevail that the epidemic of
influenza is on the decrease, and af-
ter considering the matter very care
fully we have decided to recommend
that no closing ordinance be passed
for the present"
There has been decided improve
ment in the influenza situation the
past week, the number of cases hav-
ing shown considerable decrease.
There is no one critically i'll at this
time.

NO SLUMP in FOOD
PRICES NOTED YET
DECLINE IN THE NORTH. GRO
GERS HERE HOLD OUT LIT
TIE HOPE OF RELIEF.

What food prices are going to do
seems to be a great question, the word
question being used advisedly, for in
some of the northern newspaper there
is insistent report that food prices are
slumping. Mr.. Hoover tells what to do
to the packers if prices are too high,
and to farmers if prices are too low,
and when Dawson people go into the
stores to buy the necessities of life and
the table luxuries (if any are bold
enough to have such things), they find
prices pretty much as they have been
all along since the war began, with
some increase in certain directions.
Coffee has jumped about 10 cents on
the pound, eggs still refuse to be
coaXed away from the grocer for less
than As cents, and butter still holds
its golden head up to so cents.
One local grocer said yesterday he
felt that the price of staples would
show a good decline shortly, and ff-
teen minutes later another grocer
said that prices of luXuries would be
bound to go down, but that staple pro-
ducts would not show any decrease for
some time. 1t is stated here that can
ned goods will remain at normal prices
if the prices now existing are called
normal
Corn is going down in price, this
being due, according to the observa-
ton of one grocer, to the fact that
corn is no longer needed for the max
ing of whisky. There is a tremen-
dous corn supply on hand, this grocer
says, and to get rid of this surplus
before the next crop comes in it will
have to be disposed of at lower prices
than it has been bringing recently.
Retail grOcers here do not see an
appreciable decline in the price of
meats, but the New York papers say
that ''meats are expected to take an
other slump, and, as they already have
suffered substantial declines, there is
no logical reason the wholesalers say,
why the retail dealer should not come
down in his price within the next few
days.
The failure of many retailers to re-
duce their prices to conform with the
reductions in the wholesale market is
little short of profiteering, the big
dealers say. Although some of these
dealers have given the housewives the
benefit of the break in prices there are
many who continue to charge the war
time figures, despite the fact that they
are able to buy cheaper now than at
any time in the last year.

HIGHER PRICES FOR
SHOES ARE CERTAIN
SPOT LIGHT ON ANKLES. MILL
merry NO LONGER CHIEF CON-
SHERATON OF MILADY.

Lower prices for shoes? No
chance!
Fashion until lately has decreed
short skirts. and the shorter the
short skirts, and the shorter the
higher the shoes the higher the prices.
The logic is inevitable. The skirts
are being heightened now, but the
change came too late to influence shoe
prices.
Dawson shoe dealers report that
spring shoes were purchased on the
highest market ever known, and that
fall shoes which are now bought aver
age 80 cents a pair higher than the
spring stocks.
Some callow and unsophisticatel
person possibly imagined that shoe
prices would be lowered when the war
was over. If skirts had been lowered
ere this there might have been an
opportunity, but with skirts going up
for two or three seasons past there
has been a concomitant crawling up
ward of boot tops. The vanity of mi
lady must be appeased. No longer
does millinery engross her most sollc-
itOus attention. While the time prob
ably will never come when she shall
fail. to give care to the shape, style
and appropriate selection of her mil
linery the prominence with which the
styles have displayed her feet makes
it imperative that they be given the
most punctilious and regardful atten-
ton.
1t were impossible to imagine that
skirts would be lowered, and equally
out of the question to think, with
skirts where they were, that low
quarters could be tolerated. Not for
a second! Hosiery had its day, and
the drop-stitch its fling, but that is
past. The nifty ankle covering is now
the vogue. In the meantime leather
is hard to get. Most of it is i'm
ported, the dealers say, and those per-
sons who had contracts covering any
lengthy period while being fortunate
are comparatively few. Hence the
rise in price is due to appear in the
retail stores in due season.
The rise in price is attributable not
only to the causes mentioned but to
the fact that shOe-makers have re-
Gently demanded and received the
grant of high wages. Women's shoes
control the market. Mems shoes also
will be advanced in price, though
probably not in the same measure.

Gus HILLS BIG MINISTRIES
WILL Be in DAWSON FRIDAY
A Typical Minstrel Show Which Takes
Us Back to the Happy Land
of Cotton"

The advent of Gus Hills big min
strel organization may be likened to
the back to nature" movement ad-
vocated by theorists. Minstrelsy is the
one and only genuine American form
of entertainment.
No other country in the world has
the inimitable darky of the south.
A typical minstrel show, such as Mr..
Hill has conceived, takes US back to
that happy land of cotton" No more
picturesque environment could be de-
sired. No sweeter music was ever
written than the "croony" southern
melodies. No cleaner, purer, or more
harmless amusement can be imagin-
ed, yet entertaining to the fullest eX-
tent. There are few farce or musical
comedies in the past decade that do
not owe their success to minstrelsy.
In fact the stage owes more to old
fashioned minstrelsy than to all the
"highbrow" authors in the country
rolled into one. No living, successful
producer of the present day is better
fitted to~revive this form of amuse-
ment than Gus Hill, who has thirty
five years of unceasing activity to his
credit. Therefore, when Gus Hill's
big minstrels come to Dawson Friday,
Februarv 7th, theatergoers may be
assured of seeing the most preten-
tious revival of "black face comedy"
attempted in the past twenty years.
A sumptuous scenic production, a
gorgeously costumed first part, per-
Torrance teeming with novelty and
countless hearty laughs; a score of
sweet singers; a regiment of dancers
and comedians, the street parade with
two brass bands, the joy and delight
of the small boy will all be there
with bells on. Gus Hills big min
strels will make an annual visit to
this city, where they hope to make
an annual host of friends for whose
good opinion they will ever strive.

N the manufacture of Flour, as
4 in all other manufacturing in,
duStries, the profit depends in
very large degree upon the volume
of the output. The tendency in
all lines therefore is to cheaper
the cost of products by increasing
the volume.
The commercial mills in this
way have forced out nearly all the
small country mills which produce
flour from wheat grown in the vi
cinity, which had not been bulked
in cars to and from the elevators,
causing fermentation from heat,
especially during time remaining
in larger bulk in the elevators.
The commercial mills necesSar-
lily have to kiln dry and deheart
the wheat and bleach the flour
first to make it white, and second
to preserve it from deterioration
in store and in transit.
In other words they take the
life of the wheat, producing a
SnOW-White dust called flour, more
or less indigeStible, robbing it of =
most of its Mineral Salts and Gu
ten, leaving it with an unwhole-
some preponderance of Starch,
compared to the natural nutritive
value which it should contain.
Our capacity being smafl neces-
Sarily increases the cost of output,
though we are selling cheaper
than you can buy flour elsewhere
containing relative per cent of
Gluten.
Our price is 9Oc for II pounds,
SITS for "a pounds, $3.50 for 48
pound sacks or 4.25 in sealed
cans.
For immediate use order in
