CANNED GOODS TO GO UP
Dealers Say This Years Pack To be
Li0ht-PriceS High.

Among the commodities which IN
the price slump of the past 1e"
months are due very shortly to nit
the bottom. are canned goods &C
cording to the belief of Topeka men In
positton to know about the natonal
supply of this stuff.
There will be one of the hghtest
packs of canned goods during the
coming season in the history OF the
country, dealers here agree.
The reason is given as the lnoustrlal
depression and the financial uncer-
tainty of the country at the present
time. Business conditions are so pre-
carious that the packer of canned
goods cannot secure money from
banks to pay for packing fruit ana
vegetables in cans, unless he can sho"
contracts for their sale. He cannot,
with men in all industries being lalo
off their Jobs, and the retail merchaht
watching his market with a good deal
of trepidation, secure contracts LOT
the sale of much canned stuff IN ao-
vance.
This means that there will be very
little fruit put into canned goods our

It is the general opinion of business
men that prices in all commodluess;;

HOOVER RELIEF MONEY
ACTUALLY SAVES LIVES
EVERY DOLLAR GIVEN BY AMER.
icA BUYS FOOD OR MEDICINE
FOR STARVING TOTS.

Every dollar given by an American
to save the lives of starving Euro.
pean children will go to the purchase
OF food, and will not be used for any
other purpose.
This statement has been made pub
lie recently by the Louisiana Commit
tee OF the European Relief Council,
which has Its headquarters in the AS.
ISOLATION Of Commerce building, New
Orleans. 1t was made at the request
Of Herbert Hoover, who is heading
the national campaign to raise funds
to feed s.500,000 little ones in Central
and Eastern Europe. The campaign is
being financed entirely out OF the
pockets of public.spirited citizens.
For instance, In one city, where ad-
vertisements are being published In
the newspapers by the local commit
tee. . number Of leading men Of the
community are paying for them. Like
wise. such clerical work as Is neces-
sary 10 being paid for in this way, al
though most Of the workers in the
campaign are giving their services
voluntarily.
The expenses of transportation and
distribution of the food after it is
bought will be borne by the American
Relief Administration, the organiza-
ton of which Herbert Hoover is the
head, In conjunction with the govern
ments of the stricken nations, which
are appropriating 81 for every 81
given in America for relief.
Thus, every man or woman who
gives $40 to save a life-the sum that
will keep one child in Europe alive
until the next harvest is gathered
will have the satisfaction Of knowing
that his money viii do exactly that.
: It win buy food, nothing else.
Donors should get into immediate
touch with their parish chairman, or
send their money directly to state
headquarters, to Felix e. Gunter,
state treasurer, European Relief
Council, Association OF Commerce

lief agencies, comprising the Knights
of Columbus, the Jewish Joint Dis
