TRY a BACON SANDWICH,
YOU'LL LIKE 1T

Housewives can help two of the
nations greatest and most important
industries the wheat industry and
the live stock and meat industry
and at the same time please their
families, by serving bacon sand
wiches more frequently. Both Of
the industries mentioned are closely
interviewer with our national pros
perity, and anything that helps them
naturally will benefit the country as
whole, is the advice of the Insti-
tute of American Meat Packers.
The bacon sandwich is appetizing,
economical, wholesome, and nutri-
tious. The fine flavor and aroma Of
the bacon literally make the mouth
water and aid materially in the flow
Of the digestive juices. This makes
the other ingredients of the sand
witch more desirable. However, it
should not be forgotten that the
bacon also adds to the food value
Of the sandwich by adding energy
and protein. This protein is of ex-
cellent quality and thus supplements
the protein Of the bread in addition
to being appetizing and nutritious,
bacon is easily digested.
The bacon sandwich will be rel
ished by anyone on any occasion.
It will be as welcome at the after
noon tea as in the wirkingmans
lunch-box. Housewives also will
find 1t desirable to use bacon fire.

POISON HANDLING WILL
BE GUARDED BY STATE

Rigid enforcement of the state law
concerning the handling of poisons
will be the practice of the state de-
parment of law enforcement, it was
announced Saturday by F. A. Jeter,
commissioner.
Particularly will this be true in
the handling of such poison as for
maldehyde, which is used by farmers
for removing smut from wheat.
1t is unlawful for merchants to
handle formaldehyde in bulk, the
commissioner says, and sell it in
small quantities, even though the
bottles or other containers are marked
. poison" Merchants may however,
buy this poison in original containers
from the drug or chemical company
and sell it that way, but they are
not permitted under the state law to
buy it in kegs, drums, or barrels and
sell it out in small quantities.
Violations of this particular part
OF the state law have been brought
to the attention of state officials, and
it was to call attention of all mer-
chants to the law that announcement
was made Saturday.

BUYERS STRIKE
DEEMED POSSIBLE
]. p. DUKE, BANKING SUPERVISOR,
SEES DANGER FROM ASCEND
ENG PRICES.

Olympia-(A. P.)-POssibility of a
buyers strike and an abrupt recession
in business following the present tide
of prosperity in this state is seen by
John P. Duke, state supervisor of
banking, in statement just made
public.
There is evidence of boom in the
present activity of lumber and the
retail business on the coast" Mr.
Duke says. Prices are continually
rising and with sellers market for
lumber, the buyer is consistently rails
ing former bids. Prices have gone
up to such figure that proposed
building is being postponed, the pros
pective builders feeling that they can
not afford to pay present prices for
lumber and labor.
Commodities Too High
There is also a growing feeling
that prices for dry goods, hardware
and other more or less essential ma
terials are becoming too high for the
average person to pay unless forced
by necessity to buy. Dissatisfaction
on this account is likely to develop
into a buyers strike. The conserva-
tive business man is now becoming
fearful that the present prosperity
is but temporary and the future does
not look so bright to him as if prices
had remained stationary or the in
crease had been more gradual
Mr. Duke finds another alarming
note in the high rates of interest
which the borrower is willing to pay
He points out that western Washing
ton banks are overloaded with sur
plus funds and these funds are now
being quite generally loaned in New
York on call while commercial pa
per also is absorbing a large amount
of the surplus
Money Attracted East
That the New York Stock ex-
change is able to absorb the huge
sums of money that are being for
warded by the city banks and some
country banks from nearly all parts
of the United States and is willing
terest to attract this money is some
thing that can not be viewed with
equanimity,' Mr.. Duke states fThis
also applies to eastern manufacturers
and jobbers as indicated by the rapid
rise in the rate of commercial paper.
cit has been puzzle to most OF |
us to find reason for the stimulus |
which business has received in view
of the constantly dwindling export |
trade and the distressed financial |
condition of the farmer, and a great |
many questions whether the sudden
revival of almost wartime conditions
in industry is justified in the face of
these handicaps."
Avoid "Heavy Financing
The state bank supervisor declares
il the white collar" man is forced
to limit his buying or goes further
and strikes there will be large
purchasing factor removed and the
situation may revert to that of 1920
when contracts were Cancelled and
jobbers, and retailers
found themselves stocked with goods

trust this situation will not
arise, but there are sufficient warn

Of advice to bankers and business
men not to go into any undertaking

PHI. SOULEN REELECTED
HEAD MOSCOW SCHOOLS

AT meeting of the school board of
Independent District No. 5, Monday
evening, Professor Phi. Soulen was re-
elected superintendent of city schools,
by the unanimous vote of the board.
Mr.. Soulen has served the schools eff
ficiently and satisfactorily for three
years and his reelection as superin-
tendent will meet with the hearty ap
proyal of the patrons of the schools.
Because of meeting of the city
council, which required the presence
of two members of the board, the ses-
sion was short and an adjourned meet
ing will be held at an early date to
elect a high school principal and in
structors, in both the high school and
the grade schools. 1t is expected that
the personnel of the teaching force
next year will be practically the same
as this year.
The Smith-Hughes agricultural
work will be continued in the Mos
COW high school, under the direction
of Professor H. E. Lattig.
