Too much praise cannot be given
the KIP. lodge for engaging the Schu-
bert Symphony Club and Lady Quart
.ette of Chicago to appear here on
July 9. This company is in it's tenth
year of success, and is acknowledged
everywhere to be the most "up-to-
rdate'' Musical Company travelling.
Everybody likes music and everybody
enjoys a hearty laugh. A delightful
blending of pure fun and fine music is
one reason the above company has
won it's way to the top notch of public
esteem. ls5sg a%r r G%.s@#.5
The prospects now are that vegeta-
bles and produce and provisions Of
all kinds will be made cheaper next
fall than they have been for the past
year, for the crops of all kinds are in
.sple ndid condition all throughout the
West. Even meats are likely to be
much cheaper, for, although it will
take longer than one year to make up
for the scarcity Of cattle, the sheep and
hog supplies will respond much sooner
to the improved agricultural condi-
tions. Potatoes and all garden crops
promise an abundant yield. The high
prices of all articles of food during
the last year have much increased the
cost of living, and this has borne with
peculiar hardships on the poor and
on those in moderate circumstances.
But the outlook now is for plenty of
everything good to eat at moderate
prices. @..---.
