Eggs are coming In pretty
Slow and the market is stronger
here than in Portland. A'he small
outlying stores close to the hon
yards are holding them, forcing
the Salem merchants to pay over
the market to induce the farmer
to bring them in. AS high as 80
cents was paid here today and
Saturday for eggs and the retail
price jumped from S5 to 3S cents
a dozen or two dozen for rs cents.
Sugar looks weak. Some mer-
chants here are retailing below
the market for $3.50 sack. This
may be a sign of a decrease in
price some time in the near flu
ture. but it is too uncertain to
predict.
With the rise Of milk yesterday
from $1.85 to $2.10 per cwt.,
cheese may be expected to increase
within the next week. The price Of

about the same.

KIWANISPLANS
DISCOVERED ON
STREETS TODAY
Noted Baritone Singer VIII Appear
Before Club at Ladies' Night
Event Monday Evening.
Especial to The Argus.)


Aledo, Oct. 2S.-Through a bit
of conversation overheard on the
streets of Aledo this morning 1t
was learned that members of the
Aledo Kiwanis club met in another
secret meeting last night
So cleverly was the meeting ar
ranged that although many of the
members have been under sur
veillance for some time, it was not
found out and the secret rendeZ-
vous has not yet been discovered.
The club is holding its secret meet
ings In preparation TO entertain
their lady friends at Halloween
event TO be staged Monday evening
at the Masonic hall.
Rumors have it that the greatest
soioist in this part of the country
has been engaged for the night of
the entertainment. Only at a very
great expense was the club able to
secure his services. The singer has
a baritone voice that is renowned
for its harmonious quality from
Bangor, Me-, to Seattle, Wash, and
from Canada south as far as Cuba.
This part of the entertainment is
expected to be the feature as never
before has this soloist appeared be-
fore Aledo people.
Monday NIGHTS performance IS
expected to be the best and greatest
entertainment ever held in this city
by the Kiwanis club. 1t will be a
night for music lovers Besides the
talented soloist, rumors are gaining
a foothold to the effect that or
chestras and quartets will also add
to the entertainment. This, how
ever, will not be vouched for.
