The following is from a WEEKLY
market letter that we
receive:
“With a 7 billion dollar war tax to be raised, prac
tically all manufacturers have withdrawn from the mar
ket, or arc accepting business subject to price and condi
tions at time of shipment, as foodstuffs will have to stand
their share of the war burden, and until this tax is adjust
ed all business must he on a “hand to mouth" basis. In
addition, there has been a general advance on all steam
ship rates, and it is now practically assured that the
railroads will be granted their request for a 1.7 per cent
advance, all of which must he added to the cost of the
goods.”
They surely are putting tin* prices up over the moon.
Wheie the end will he, we feel too timid to make even a
guess, the pace is too swift. I ’rices are all that SlIERMA'X
once said about war.
Don’t you think it would be well to anticipate your
wants in the line of staples before prices advance any
higher?

AT THE EMPRESS.
A Pathe Gold Rooster play should
be seen in order to thoroughly appre
ciate and enjoy it. No matter how
often or how well the story is told in
print, justice is never given the play,
therefore, it is necessary to see the
Pathe Gold Rooster play in five parts
to be presented at the Empress thea
tre this Saturday evening. The play
then can best be appreciated by wit
nessing charming Pearl White’s able
character interpretation of Hazel
Kirke in “Hazel Kirke,” a stirring
story, and one which gives Miss White
an opportunity for all her strength of
personality and versatility. Pathe
News with interesting current events
appear with “Hazel Kirke” on same
program.
Charlie Hoyt’s merry comedy of so
cial satire, overflowing with homely
philosophy, keen wit and funny' situa
tions, entitled “A Texas Steer,” is to
be the offering Sunday and Monday,
May 20 and 21. Added to the excel
lent acting of Tyrone Power, the star
is a story which moves swiftly and
smoothly from beginning to end, a
story' that holds and convinces and
thrills. Add to this the Hearst-Pathe
News direct service, and you have an
entertainment unusually attractive,
presented in a most satisfying man
ner. 67
