SAYS BUYING OF .
WAR SUPPLIES
IMPRACTICABLE
Mayor Declares Prices of
Government Stock Not
r." jch Lower Than Those
of Local Grocers.
Mayor Smith states that he has
personally investigated the food
supplies being offered for sale here
by the War department and he has
found that it would not be practica
ble for the city to undertake a pop
ular sale of any of these commodi
ties. "Take for instance," said the
mayor, "the item of bacon. I find
this is not bacon as we usually un
derstand it, but it is salt pork and
is used as food by a certain class
of workers, but 1 do not believe it
would find a ready sale if the city
undertook to sell- it. The govern
ment offers it in crate lots at 34
cents per pound, or in 12-pound tins
at 36 cents per pound. I have
analyzed the other commodities and
have come to the conclusion that
the city can not handle these foods
at an advantage. The canned toma
toes are listed at 12;4 to 16 'cents
per can. I noticed in the news
papers here last week that local
merchants were offering canned
tomatoes at 12J4 cents per can."
The mayor has received the fol-
, lowing list of food stores held here
by the government and now offered
for sale at the prices indicated:
Rice, 282,000 pounds, 11 cents;
150,000 pounds beans, 12 cents;
40,000 two-pound packages of hom
iny, 10 cents; 78,000 pounds evapor
ated apples, 14 cents; 35,000 pounds
evaporated peaches, 12 cents; 68,000
pounds prunes, 13 cents; 10,000 cans
tomatoes, 12J4 to 16 cents.
There are also 100,000 cans of
baked beans and large quantities of
canned corned beef, roast beef and
corned beef hash.
Burglar Threatens
Life of A. W. Gordon as
He Robs Home of $300
A. W. Gordon-, president of the
Gordon-Lawless Co., awoke shortly
'itter midnight Thursday night and
fW somebody moving about in his
dimly-lighted room, at his home,
1016 South Thirty-eighth street.
"Who is there?" he asked, beliey-
ing it was a member of the family.
" "None of your damn business,"
was the gruff reply. "Keep .your
vrap shut now or I'll blow your
block off."
last part of this surprising
message was delivered while the
burly intruder stood by Mr. Gor
don's bed with a flashlight on his
. face and a big gun pointed in the
same direction.
"The burglar , went leisurely about
, the'room selecting what he wanted.
His loot included $100 in cash, a
, rold watch, a knife set with dia
monds, a woman's gold watch and
gold rimmed eye glasses, all valued
at about $300.
Mr. Gordon did not see how the
burglar got out of the house. He
notified the police and officers made
an investigation but were unable to
find any "jimmied" windows or any
other traces of how the burglar
made his entrance.
