since November. the prices have
advanced seyenty-fve cents.
The advance is due to the ex-
cited state Of the wheat market,
which flour naturally follows.
The long expected war caused
holders to grow more and more
confident and their expectations
or What the demlnd wOuld be
from the Far East were justified.
Flour is thus made higher than it
has been in a decade, and the
continuation of the war will, i'm
all probability cause further adj
vances.
Potatoes also have felt the eff
fects of some boosting influence,
for they now sell here for 81 10.
Many of this staple article of
food come from Wisconsin and
Michigan, where they are plenti-
full, hut owing to the extreme
cold weather existing in the far
north no shipments can safely be
made. Onions, too. are away be-
yond par, selling at a 30 aud are
scarce at that. Other staple veg
etables are equally as high but
whether on accountO of the war or
Of their scarcity IN the market is
not known.

M" DERATION OF EDITORS.

1t is appalling how rapidly the
great men of our country are
dropping off. The reason a
newspaper man lives so long Is,
that his greatness consists IN
keeping his stomach supplied
with the ordinary things of life,
such as potatoes, bacon, greens
and Boston beans. Many man
shortens his life by eating new
tangled dishes.-Jessam ne Jour

RUSH CREEK.


AT Rush Greek there are dainties and

And plenty to eat every day in the
year
And things nice, in and out of season.
But farmers cOmplain-no~ tell me
the reason.
Already the pessinistic long
face is becoming more Elongated
and the drawl so strikingly pecu-
liar is heard in our land: 'Twont
be no crop year, I'll be bound.
Wheat amt making much head
way and think twill be wet
spring" etc. Now the lord be
praised for all His loving kind
ness, and good bread and butter
thrown in. Oh thou pessimist,
thou shOuldst know poverty once
Just for wee bit. Suppose the
case of Midas was thine. His
prayer that everything he touch
ed might turn into gold was
granted. Was he happy with
nothing but gold for food and
clothing and did the precious
metal bed form a couch of down?
Be firm and thank our great Gre
ator for al things good and true
for the chain of family union
unbroken and cast your discon
tented thoughts in the direction
of Gods Acre, the newly covered
mound-the grave of some much
loved friend, gone to meet the
beloved ones who have gone on
before, and let the dews of sym
pathy fall from eyes that weep
not without hope, and then, oh
then live to love and enjoy the
blessings of life showered so gra-
ciously upon you.
There are more new graves IN
our churchyard - more lonely
hearts at homes who bitterly feel
the pangs and aching voids that
are ever before them-the chair
of the beloved one now vacant.
The remains of Felix Davis, son
of Dow and Cora Davis, deceased
