Price Cutting
Fever Reaches
Wholesalers

New York, May 21.-The price cut
ting movement here today reached
some wholesalers. when managers and
buyers of prominent department stores
announced they would refuse to pur-
chase from jobbers until substantial
reductions were made. The depart
ment stores, which claim to offer re-
ductlons Of from 1 s to so per cent now
demand that wholesalers make coz
cessions to them.
Food Prices Drop.
Some wholesalers of wearing appar-
e declared they believed the price cut
ting movement to be artificial and un-
economic. asserting that 1t has stimu-
lated buying without corresponding
increase in production. and reaction
was bound to copne.
The first reduction in food was an
nounced yesterday when one Of the
largest eabarets and restaurants in the
city stated II had had all items on Its
menu reduced 30 per cent
Roycotts Effective.
Washington, May 2t.--The wave Of
price reduction in wearing apparel
which has spread to every important
city is due largely to public withdrawal
from the market and to the investign
ton conducted by the department OF
Justice. in the opinion of Assistant At
torney General Garvin. While he said
he did not believe the department de-
served too much OF the creds.," Mr
Garyis refused to indorse claims OF
merchants that they were aetuated
solely by patriotic motives.

Villa, the man who drew the Amer

close pursuit of him after the raid on
Columbus, N. NJ, in 1916 when Willis
tas raided that bordertown, declared
the successor of Carranza must fullest
satisfy his ideals of government before
he would retire to private life and quit
the life of a robin Hood"
Obregon Disliked.
Villa does not like General Alvaro
obregon, candidate for the presidency
of Mexico, who apparently has become
the imam of the hour" In Mexico
through the country's new revolution,
Obregon is the Mexican leader who
first decisively defeated Villa. This
fight occurred at Celaya. obregon then
was leading Carranza troops against
villa and later became minister of war
in the Carranza cabinet.
Villa would not make public the
guarantees he demands from the new
government except politicians must be
kept from ruling Mexico.
GffeveS IoF Anseies.
Villas greatest emotional period was
during questioning concerning General
Felipe Angeles, who was executed by
Cararnza forces at Chihuahua in No
vember last for rebellion against the
government. Tears came to Villas
eyes as he discussed Angeles and con-
demned the men who ordered him ex-
ecuted.

ed.

Silverton, Or, May 21.-As usual
little interest is manifested in the cleo
tion this forenoon. Voting is always
light here in the morning. In east Sill
verton precinct only twenty-four votes
were cast at 1890. 1t is expected that
a comparatively heavy vote will be
polled this afternoon as there is con-
siderable interest in the educational
measures, which will probably call out
a large women's vote. 1t is difficult to
estimate what the result will be, but
the vote on the measures is likely to
be close.
There are about eighteen hundred
registered votes in the Silverton pre-
cincts and probably fifty per cent of
which will be polled.

NekOn1a Pioneer
Is Laid to Rest
Passing of 500 Town Early
Day Settler Is Mourned
Funeral on Sunday

The funeral was held at Nekoma
on Saturday of Ole jacobson one of
the older residents Of that section of
the county, whose death at Fingal,
N. D., after short illness came as
both shock and surprise to the old
friends and neighbors among whom
he had lived since first coming to the
county about fourteen years ago.
Ole jacobson died at the age of
fifty-nine years, one month and four
days. He was horn in Norway on
August 5, 1861 and came with his. pa
rents, Jacob and Annie jacobson to
this country when less than two
years old, at which time the family
located at Lyle, MINI. In the year
1876 he was confirmed at the church
located at Six Mile Grove, MINI, and
eleven years latter at the same
church, in 1887, was married to Miss
Julia Dahle, and to this union six
children were born. whose names are
Alma, Clarence, Norris, Olen, Gladys
and Irene. Of these their daughter,
Gladys, died in 1902 at GAINESVILLE,
Minnesota. The deceased lived on a
farm in Iowa from the time he was

til 1906 when the family removed to
Cavalier county, locating at Nekoma
which continued to be the home of
the family up to the time of his
death which is mourned by the en-
tire community.
The character and standing cf Ole
jacobson among his fellow men can
not be measured in mere words.
His life in the home as we'll as il
public was taken as a pattern fol
the younger generation. Pabli,
spirited he was always at the head o:
church and social affairs that aimee
for greater things. He also had beer
among the first to take up the organ
ization Of the league among the far
mers of that community. His deatE
brings to close useful life.
