BICKNELL BELIEVES
SPREAD TOO GREAT
UNREASONABLE DISCREPENCY
BETWEEN COST AND SELL
ING PRICES POUND.
BOISE—(Special)—That there
"an unreasonable spread between the
cost and selling prices" op certain
commodities in Idaho is the conclus
ion reached by R. F. Bicknell, Idaho
food administrator, from facts pre
sented in an official survey of food
prices in Bannock county. The sur
vey was made at Pocatello,-that point
being considered most generally rep
resentative of conditions throughout
southern Idaho.
"I find no evidence of general profit
eering, but in some" connections it
seems to me there is an unreasonable
spread between the cost and selling
price*," said Mr. Bicknell. "For that
reason I shall submit this data to the
federal department "of justice for such
action as. is deemed necessary."
Some of the cost and selling price
comparisons given in the report were:
Flooring, cost at Pocatello, $77.25 and
sold $83 to $106; common lumber, cost
$36.60 and sells $41 to $54: mutton,
cost 12 to 18 cents per pound, sells 25
to 30 cents; pork, costs 25 cents, sells
40 to 45 cents; shoes, costing $7.15 sell
for $10; costing $6.50 sell for $9.98;
costing $9.35 sell for $14; men's suits,
costing $21 sell for $30 to $35.
Calling attention to the situation in
Idiaho as a producing state, Mr. Bick
nell said: "It is of far more import
ance that I<daho people obtain a good
price for produce than that we quibble
over technicalities as to the ccst of th'
comparatively small amount we con
sume."

Perfect Motor Puel has a
Complété Chain of
Boiling Points
There's an untjroken chain or series of hniimg points
In every gallon 6f Con-O-co Gasoline. This means
that you always get quick, powerful, complete com
bustion.
The low boiling point, more volatile fractions, insure
instant ignition when you turn over the angine. The
medium boiling point fractions provide strong, smooth
acceleration. The high fractions assure mile-eating
power—economy. Thafs why it pays to make Con
O-co Gasoline the standard fuel diet for your car.
Con-O-co QasoUne is straight distilled, liquid power—a better,
mora uniform, more miles-to-the-gallon füel than any mixture
ofcasing head gasoline and kerosene. Coats no more per gallon.
