1t is hardly necessary to state for the
information of any one living in To-
peka that the cost Of living is much
higher than il was a year ago.
There has been a rise in the price Of
almost everything eatable, except flour
Meats. vegeta bles and fruit have been
all advanced. Potatoes are nearly three
times higher than a year ago. Sweet
corn is twice as high; peas. beets and
eucumbers six times as high; apples
three times as high; eggs. butter and
cheese, 10 to 20 per cent higher; peach
es. from two to three times as high;
and meats of all kinds up from to 6
cents pound.
The increase in the price Of vegeta-
bles and fruits is largely due to the
fact that the drouth cut short the
crops in this part Of the country. and
the consequent necessity Of shipping in
those articles from distance. What is
a necessity this year should not remain
SO. The Topeka market could just as
well be supplied by home products If
only the fruit growers and gardeners
would put water on their land Toma-
