THE HOOSIER KITCHEN CABINET Two Million. Recommend the Hoosier Hoosiers are classed “better” by more American housewives than any other cabinet. They are rendering labor-saving service to a greater number of women than any other—nearly two million. These facts should guide you. The efficiency of this multitude of kitchens should be duplicated in your home. The cabinet this . army of women have selected should be your choice. Come and see a Hoosier demonstration. Test it for yourself. Sit before it as you would at home. Then decide. You’ll find the prices truly moderate and the terms so convenient you can’t afford to delay. “ _ —. _ _ .y. . .

FIRST ROAD TOUR.

First road tour means that the whirlwind comedy “Friend Wife” has never been presented in your city before, the piece was written by Chas. Sumner and Harry Segall, and has been credited x as being one of the cleverest comedies of the day, it is entirely different from the usual run of comedies, for the material offered in this play is original and unique. The play, had a run of several months in New York and the principals in the present cast are the ones who appeared in the New York production. This being the first road tour it is needless to say that Manager Hill was fortunate in securing this play and players to appear at the opera house on Saturday, January 31st, this engagement was brought about through the company making some changes in its route while on its way to the coast, and through this late booking Manager Hill made arrangements with the owners of the company to present the piece at reduced prices, which will be 50c, 75c and SI.OO, instead of $2.00, which price this company has been playing to. Special scenery and all stage requirements are carried by the company. i

NOTICE OF ADVANCE IN SUPSCRIPTION PRICE

Begining next Monday, February 2, the .subscription rate of the Evening Republican will be raised to 15 cents per week, $7.50 per year when paid -in advance. The rate to rural route subscribers will be $5 per year. Single copies will sell for 3 cents each. This step is made necessary by the constantly increasing cost of doing business. At the present rate it costs all the revenue from subscriptions to pay the cost of the blank paper and the cost of delivery, leaving nothing for the cost of gathering the news, 1 putting it in type, press work and the numerous other items entering into the cost of publishing the paper. The price of print paper is now nearly four times what it was before the war and wages and all materials entering into the cost of producing a paper have increased about in proportion. Nearly all papers ■have raised in price but The . Republican until now has avoided taking this step in hopes that conditions would get back to normal. This raise will be small to each subscriber, but Tyill help the publishers materially in. meeting the advanced cost ,of <ioing business. The faithful carrier boys will share in a portion of the increased revenue derived from the advance in subscription.

OUTLOOK GOOD FOR CHEAPER CLOTHING

The wool market is rapidly approaching a normal, pre-war basis, and manufacturers’ demands for raw wool will be met' in fult soon, according to Arthur Williams, federal food administrator, who conferred with representatives of the American W oolen association at New York .yesterday. The encouraging outlook .for cheaper clothing, Mr. Williams said, is further enhanced by a nearly normal commercial output by the nation’s mills, which he said devoted sixty-five per cent of their capacity during the war to making cloth for the army and navy.

SECRETARY DANIELS KNOWS BUT WON’T TELL

Philadelphia, Jan. 28.—Secretary of the Navy Darnels started considerable speculation here tonight as to whom he meant when he said in a speech that he could tell who would be the next president of the United States, but that he did not know. to which party the man belonged. - The secretary was addressing the graduating class of the Pierce school on the work of the navy and on Americanism. As he concluded he swung around and looking at J. Hampton Moore, Philadelphia’s republican mayor, said: “I can tell you who the next president of the United States is going to be. Do you want me to tell you who he is? I don’t know whether he belongs to my party or yours. If he has one drop of reactionary blood in his veins he will not have a chance of election. No old fashioned politician will do. He must be progressive and meet the new conditions, the new problems.” When reporters, asked Secretary Daniels whom he meant he only smiled. Asked if the name of the man he had in mind has been included among those suggested as presidential candidates, Mr. Daniels repHedt “We will not discuss that” '
