TO be done is to see that ten
thousand instead OF one thou
sand women know about those
corndakes. Because the larger
number OF people who know
about them. the larger will be
the number Of people who bay

And the larger the number of
packages bought, the smaller
will be the cost per package of
getting the cornfakes through
the groceries and into the home.

food. But as long as they stay in
the warehouse they might just
as well not be made at all. as

What is more, they mean very

The only way those cornflakes
are worth anything to him or
anyone else is when they are on

In other words. when the peo-
pie who need food buy his
cornfiakes the manufacturer and
all who work for him can turn
around and buy the things they
need from other people.

PORTUGUESE TRYING
TO FORCE DECLINE
IN PRICES OF FOOD

| Lisbon, March 22.-The Portu-
guese are attempting to follow
the example of the Americans spd
| force decline in the excessive
prices of food and clothing by re-
| fusing to purchase. The people are
| Indignant at the continued advance
of the cost of the necessities OF
Iliving, particularly the price Of cod
fish, which is the chief article of
| food for the poorer families.
The city councils of Lisbon and
Oporto are attempting to stop the
eXactions of the profiteers by pur-
chasing large quantities of Goldfish
from Newfoundland and selling it
ate one-third the price extorted
from the public by shopkeepers.
1t is hoped that this will bring down
not only the price of fish but chat
of meat.
The newspapers exhort the pub
lie to refrain from buying rice in
order o,bring down the price and
announcements have been made of
several cuts to come in that food.
The Portuguese public is looking
to the United States to rescue them
from their plight. Unverified ru-
more have been circulated that
shiploads of foodstuffs. clothing
and shoes are on their way from
America to flood the markets here
at prices available to all. Many
householders are refusing to buy
at present prices, saying; II will
wait until the American ships have
come"

LAREDO ONION CROP
IS REPORTED POOR
tBy The Associated Press. J

Laredo, Tex, March 22.-Not in
years has there been such poor
crop of onions, considering the
acreage planted, according to
growers in this vicinity. Some of
the least optimistic of the onion
growers estimate less than a 80
per cent crop, while the best esti-
mates indicate that not more than
SIS per cent of normal will be har-
vested. tz.
Reports from the great centers
indicate a large stock of onions on
hand, which indicates a low price
for even the small crop expected.
and the freight and express rates
are the highest known, so that
many onion growers think that it
will be saving money to leave their
crops in the fields. Some few cars
of the earliest onions will move
next week, but it will be two weeks
later before the movement begins
in earnest. = .
Those who are still hopeful de-
clare that the market may i'm
prove as soon as it is known that
the crop is 80 small and they be-
lieve that the refusal of some to
ship or sell at the present prices
offered may result in less loss than
was forecast few weeks ago.

THREE SECTIONS

MAIL DELIVERY
University Heights, a Part
of Reynolds Addition and
a Section North Of Noun
tain Road to Have Service


Is University heights, as far as
Vassar avenue--a part of the Rey-
nolds addition lying southwest of
the center of the city--and a sec
ton of the city located north of
Mountain road to Mckinley ave-
nue., between the railroad tracks
and Twelfth street, will soon have
mail carrier service; according to
an announcement made yesterday
by Postmaster II. G. RoehI.
Extension OF the city mail serv-
ice to these sections of the city
were asked several months ago,
but have just been granted. Mall
carriers will cover the territory
within the next few days. The
delay will be necessary on account
of the change in equipment which
will be made at the post office.
Residents of University heights
will be especially benefited by the
extension of the service as they
have been obliged to either get
their mail at the University or call
for it at the general delivery win
dow at the post office.

lRx Ths AssocIated Press.l

Washington, March 22.-South-
ern districts of Upper Silesia, about
seven, have voted for Polish SOW
ereignty in the plebiscite, the Polish
LEGATION announced tonight upon
the basis of brief official advices
from its foreign office. Two dis
tricts have apparently voted for
Germany, it was added. and one re-
mains in doubt. The plebiscite is
being decided by districts and not
bv mass vote of the province.
The legation announced it con-
sidered the result a victory for Po-
land, especially as the southern dis
tricts are the richest in mineral
wealth and other natural resources.
Figures were not given. 1t was add
ed, but IL was understood Katto-
fitz was the district where the issue
was still in doubt.
