KODAK FILMS TAKE A JUMP.
Raise of From Five to Fifteen Cents
on Local Market.

Prices on kodak films have gone up
from five to fifteen cents in the last
week, according to George Stansfield.
The smaller six exposure films have
increased five cents in price while.
larger six and eight exposure films
have increased ten cents, and twelve
exposure films fifteen cents.
This is the first increase the East
products. Stansfield says.N In explana-
ton of the increase the Eastman COM
pany says labor is up over 95 per
cent; silver bullion is three times its
former price; gelatine has doubled in
cost; bromides are four times and cot
ton six times the lowest cost; acids
have also increased materially in cost
They point out there is no other line
of products where selling costs have
been held down as consistently as in
the Photographic line. This applies
particularly to sensitized goods-to
films, papers and plates-the goods
that sell in the greatest volume.
Demand for films is exceedingly
great, according to George Stansfield
He says he seldom receives his full or
der and notices that most shipments
come from the Canadian factory, in
dicating that American consumption
is greater than ever before.
The growing motion picture indus
try, and their tremendous demand for
film, is another condition affecting
prices. As high as 1000 feet of film
is used in taking a five or six reel
movie feature. The film is dead waste.
IN taking special scenes or where re-
takes would be impossible, batteries of
cameras are used.

AS Wright freely gave his wife to
O. Mally. Maggie became known as the
gift wife" Wright said that when
he was wanted for wife desertion, the
relations of his wife and O'Mally
would help to clear his own case.
Now He Has Flown.
Before the alleged scheme laid by
Wright to furnish an excuse for wife.
desertion was carried out, O'Mally was
arrested for white slavery and re-
leased. Wright, tried for wife deser-
ton, pleaded guilty and was paroled
and allowed another chance to sup
port his wife. He promised to report
each week to the court his faithfulness
in caring for his wife and son. But
there will be no report from Wright
this week, as he apparently left To-
peka, leaving no word as to when he
will return, so says the wife.
In the meantime Maggie wonders
why he has left her this time.

home at noon or about o'clock that
afternoon.

said.
She was asked whether she will live
with him if he returned.
Love Is Paramount.

people think about it. 1 want him to

The mother refuses to be separated
from her baby, altho she has no
means or friends to help her find a
living. The baby has been i'll with
whooping cough, but as soon as she
is able to leave the baby she will place
him in the day nursery at the Provi-
dent association and find employment
for herself.

Italians seemed likely TO agree to the
acceptance of a solution to the Fiume
question which has been approved by
Premiers Lloyd George and Clemen-
ceau q division has been created
among the IugosIavS regarding the
problems involved.
According to best information OBJ

to compromise by which Italy would
give up some of the territory appor-
toned to her on the Dalulatian coast
in exchange for full sovereignty over
Fiume. with a strip of land connect
ing that city with the province OF
lstria to the west.
Other elements favor accepting the
compromise but because of the i'm
possibility of reaching an agreement
the .JugoSlav delegation has been
obliged to reject the proposal. Pre-
miers Lloyd George and Clemenceau
thcreupon issued sort of ultlmatum,
demanding that the government at
Belgrade decide without delay upon
what it wanted to do. and give a
categoric answer of yes or no TO
the Italian compromise.
1t is impossible to ascertain mere
whether President Wilson has been
consulted regarding the pFopossu

be in absolute contradiction to the
