LOCAL GROCERS NOT TO BUY ARMY FOOD

No efforts are being made to obtain any of the army food surplus placed on sale by the war department by local wholesale grocers, stated one of them Wednesday. Reasons given are that the goods are not guaranteed and the prices are not sufficiently low to warrant taking the chance. A review of the prices shows that there is very little difference between those of the government and those prevailing on the markets, the grocers say. They point out that the very fact that the government is selling at twenty per cent below what it paid, shows that it paid too much in the first place. The prices are: Corned beef. No. 1, canned, $3.60 a dozen; corned beef. No. 2 canned, $6.96 a dozen; corned beef, 6-pound cans, $24 a dozen. Roast beef, No. 1. canned, $3.48 a dozen; one-pound cans, $4.92 a dozen or 41 cents a pound; two-pound cans, $7.92 a dozen, and six-pound cans, $26.40 a dozen. Corned beef hash, one-pound cans, $2.76 a dozen, two-pound cans, $4.80 a dozen.

Bacon in crates, 34 cents a pound; I bacon in 12-pound tins, 36 cents a pound.

Eugene Hay has arrived in the United States from France, and is now at Newport News.

Mrs. W. P. Clark, 601 Vi Main street has received official word from the War department, saying that her son. private Paul T. Drudy is seriously ill at the G. H. Otisville institution in New York City. Private Drudy has tuberculosis.

Air Service Offers Good Field for Young Men Uncle Sam is offering exceptional opportunities for young men to learn to fly, or to learn the mechanics of aeroplanes, according to army recruiter Wright, who is making a call for volunteers for the United States air service. "The air service needs 15,000 men at once. It is one of the highest paid branches of service in the army," Wright said. Enlisted men are paid from $30 to $121.50 a month on their first enlistment, and may enlist for either one or three years, without any further obligations. There are also good chances of becoming registered pilots, Wright says, and as a commissioned pilot, the field is unlimited.

CORSET TAX UNFAIR TO FAT ONES, PLEA MADE TO SENATOR

WASHINGTON, July 16. The Indiana senators get a great many unusual petitions and memorials and they expect in the course of a day's business to receive a dozen or so relating to subjects ranging from tho cattle tick to a proper plan for financing the railroads. One of the most unusual of all such petitions was one received by Senator New a short time ago in which the removal of the luxury tax on corsets was asked on the theory that the tax was a discrimination against fat women. This petition apparently had been signed by most of the women of one small Indiana town and the last signature on the document was the name of the town's "corsetiere."

, V , L LI o uuucioiguu Liuicua ui illdlana," the petition read, "respectfully petition and pray that the revenue war tax on ladies' corsets as listed in the luxury tax bill in which all corsets amounting to an excess of $5 shall be taxed 10 per cent, be repealed. We respectfully show and represent that this provision operates and works an Injustice in this, to-wit: "1. A substantial, good corset can not be had under the present prices of material and labor for the sum of 55.00. Easy for Slim Ones. "2. That the smaller persons or rather more slender persons are able to procure a corset for the sum of $5 and thereby avoid paying the special tax as provided in said bill and this amounts to a discrimination between the small and slender person and the large or portly person and is therefore a violation of the constitutional rights of citizens, and a discrimination between citizens of equal stations in life, based simply upon their phy

sical size. "3. The larger or more portly person finds the corset an absolute necessity and is because of such size compelled to pay a war tax, when as a matter of fact the necessity for the slender or smaller person is met without a war tax, thus showing clearly that it is not a discrimination of price, but a discrimination in amount of goods and material required to meet the requirements of the two, or different size persons. It being a well established and well-known fact among manufacturers, and for that matter all persons, that the larger person will require a larger corset, and therefore more material in the corset and more labor incident to the production of ruch corset, yet it is no more of a luxury for the larger person than for the smaller or slender person. "4. Under present conditions of material and labor, and with the rise in prices in all matters, it is not possible to procure a suitable and substantial commodity in the way of a corset for the sum of $5. "5. The corset is in no sense a luxury but a necessity." The petition was referred to the finance committee of the senate by Senator New, and doubtless by this time Senator Penrose and the other financial sharks are giving close attention to the gross discrimination alleged by the women of this Indiana town.

FRIENDS PLAN FOR MISSIONARY MEET

Plans for the conference of mission

aries of the Five Years Meeting of America to be held at Earlham college on July 23 and 24, immediately preceding the Young Friends conference, which convenes on July 25, were confirmed by the executive committee of the Foreign mission board in session Tuesday at the headquarters on South Eighth street. A number of foreign missionaries home on furloughs will attend the conference. Fred N. Hoyt, his wife and three children, all of whom are back on furlough from the Friends fields in Africa, were present. Hoyt made a report on the industrial education work which Is being carried on in Africa among the natives. He has sharge of the milling, forestry and lumber departments of the African field, and is buying equipment to take back with him. The Hoyts will visit In Richmond for several days. To Enlarge Mexican Work. B. Willis Beede, who recently spent two months in Mexico studying conditions there, made a special appeal to the foreign mission commitee for more intensive work in the Mexican field. Beede contended that missionary work is very welcome by the people of Mexico, not only by the officials, but by the lower classes of citizens. "There are great opportunities for Christian education and religion in Mexico, and we have an obligation and opportunity which we must not fail to meet," said Beede. In respect to the existing conditions and the belief that more intensive and thorough work must be done in the Mexican field, it has been decided to increase the corps of workers from seven to thirteen.

Oats Cutting Not Started; Apple Crop to Be Good Very little of the oats crop in Wayne county has been harvested and that which has been cut was for the oats hay and not for the grain. All the timothy and clover has been cut and is in the process of curing, said Walter Ratliff, Wednesday. The early apple crop In the county will be as good as usual but few of the farmers will have more than enough for their own use so it is likely that very few will be on the markets, he said.

PREBLE GETS ARMY TRUCK
