ENGLAND AND FRANCE Say Their Greatest Need
is Not GUNS or AMMUNITION, But FLOUR, SUGAR
AND RICE—FOOD.
Our advice is to keep the pantry well stocked with
articles that will keep.
Flour, Sugar, Rice, Canned Meats,
Dried Fruit, Caerels, Canned Goods
There is small hope that prices will decline within a
year, even it' the war is over tomorrow.
Plant Something.
Do something yourself to keep prices down by plant
ing now.
A good supply of food in the pantry is as good pre
caution as money in the bank and may give you as much
satisfaction.
Demand our goods of your retailer, and they are
guaranteed good quality.

RE SEA ROVER
SAN JUAN, I’orto Rico, April 24.—
What is believed to be authentic in
formation as to the fate of the Get
man cruiser Karlsruhe, which was ac
tive in the waters of the Carribean
and off the coast of Brazil during the
first months of the war, was given by
Capt. Henrich Lubinus, former prize
officer on the Karlsruhe and who
brought the German prize KD-111 in
to this port in January, 1915.
The KD-111 was formerly the Brit
ish freighter Fame and was captured
October 5, 1914.
The Karlsruhe was sunk following
an internal explosion on November 4,
1914, not far from the island of Trini
dad, according to Capt. Lubinus, who
I said he had only recently received in
' formation direct from Germany from
1 one of the surviving officers of the
■ cruiser. The statement gives confir
, mation to reports from Trinidad about
that time that a life preserver and
; portions of wreckage, believed to have
i come from the Karlsruhe had been
1 picked up there.
According to Captain Lubinus, Cap
tain Kohler, commander of the Karls
ruhe, several of the officers and more
than 100 men lost their lives when the
cruiser went down.

ASK r. S. TO FIX
SALMON PRICES
PORTLAND, Ore., April 24.—Presi
dent Wilson and Secretary of Com
merce Rodfield have been appealed to
by the Columbia River Packers’ as
sociation to fix the price canned sal
man is to be sold at this year. Tele
grams have been sent to both officials
with the plea that a price not to ex
ceed 25 per cent of that asked at the
opening of last year be allowed. Al
ready fishermen are clamoring for a
price of 10 cents flat per fish, while
the canners, if the government fixed
the price as they pray for, would lie
able to pay a price of eight cents a
fish, which, they say, is 25 per rent
over last year. There is grave need
that the government fix foodstuff pric
es not only of salmon, hut of every
other commodity.
Word from San Francisco interns's,
under date of a week ago, states that
there are not to exceed 15,000 cases of
Alaska pinks held there by front seven
to 10 different firms. Prices are very
firm at $1.70 to $1.75.
The Columbia river chinook season
will open next Tuesday.
And now it is to the high cost of
shaving. The barbers of Portland,
Ore., contemplate raising the price of
the “once over” from 15 to 25 cents.
