The Cost Of FOOD.

The Cost Of FcOd-
Those who have made an exhaustive
study Of the cost Of food assure as that
this item ranges about the same In the
different markets Of the country, al
though IN some places one supply may
cost more and another less than In
place hundreds Of miles away. Those
who have gardens OF their own, OF who
are able to buy directly from the farm
Of a neighboF. with no intervening mid
dle-man and no ascending scale Of
profit from producer to consumer, may
live more eheaply than their friends who
possess no such advantage.
In the country, for instance, the only
money actually expended may be laid
out for meat when the butcher makes
his weekly round with his cart Other
articles Of food are raised on the farm,
and the thrifty housewife has the
chance to barter her eggs and butter in
the nearest town for other things that
she needs. Country jewellers should
live much better, all things considered,
than their city cousins. The latter, how
ever, need not go beyond their means If
they purchase with discretion and SUI
fer no waste in the household. In a
great city a visit to the market, here
OF there, is a revelation OF the com
mefee Of the globe. Fruits, vegetables,
dairy products, meat, everything In
splendid variety shows how interde-
pendent we are, and hOwsWiftly trains
! ply and steamers race across the sen.
that the world may be fed. Buyers
have only to choose from an abundant
and attractive bill Of fare.
The crying sin Of American house
keeping is willful waste. The amount
Of good food that is daily thrown away
by people OF limited means is positive
~ shocking. One housekeeper In ten
takes proper care Of left-oYers from tht
table, and suffers nothing to be lost
through forgetfulneSs, or cast by
thriftless maid into the garbage pail
The average maid despises small econ
omies, but this Is no reasoh why she
should not be taught to practice them
The cost Of living in thousand homes
might annually be diminished by {
tenth without a single person in thu
household mourning the slightest self
denial.
In a thousand homes, too, NOR
careful buying and more careful say
ing would result in gratifying sun
in the bank at the end Of each twelve
, month. II the cost Of living is highe
than It once was, we must remem
Der that the wage-rate is also highe
and that the country is not in III
least impoverished, but, on the con
/ trary, exceedingly well-tO-do. W
, may share it's prosperity If as indiyid
, uaIs we look out for waste.

The proposition resolves itself into
several parts, the first Of which Is:
The Shelter Of the Roof.
We cannot be exposed to the ele-
ments. We must have a refuge from
winds, rain, cold, storm and sun.
Whether we live in a splendid brown
stone edifce or a tumble-doWn, un~
painted cottage, or anywhere between
these extremes, we must equally have
protection from incIemeney OF the at
mosphere, and asylum from friends and
foes. The latter sentiment may need
explanation, because everyone COM
prehends that enemies are better on
the outside OF the sheltering walls,
/ while everybody who is not disposed to
hermit life has a welcome for his
friends. Yet there are days and nights
when a home values seclusion, and
does not even desire for the moment
the presence Of friends. Four walls
and roof ere the shell OF the home,
let It be very simple Or very stately.
For this shelter we pay either in
rent, IL we hire, or in taxes and the
cost Of constant repairs, If we own the
estate. At the basis Of family living
lies the cost Of the shelter, and the
Hrst duty Of a householder Ia 70 rightly
adjust this Item OF expense in it's rela'
ton to other necessary items. Tit
house itself should not annually cos
tor shelter more than g fifth Of the an
nuaI income.
Often people pay an undue price 10
shelter because they are determined t.
/ i've on fashionable street, or in |
neighborhood where houses are hell
at fancy valuation. They deny them
selves a great part Of the Joy OF Iiy
ing and are defrauded Of coElfor
through a mistaken pride as TO the ez
ternl appearance and internal arrange
ments Of that which is after all tn
least important item in the bill, Wha
4 we demand Of house Is that It sbal
have excellent sanitary conditions an
perfect drainage, that II shall
tight and compact, without leakin
gool, or damp cellar. and that theT
, shall be in II suficient room TO az
eommodate the family.
! These are the essentials. Other ma
\ ters may take care Of themselves.

called at our house last evening and
with laugh told my father that he
felt very happy. He had settled mis-
coal bill with the price Of a poem.
Think Of that's Think Of bringing
poetry down to the level Of coal bills

mr.. Blank is most fortunate

Buck Grove

Mesdames Harvey and Bonnev drove
to Denison Monday, on their way they
called on Sidney Bonney at his school
in Coon Grove. They found the young
pedagogue we'll pleased with his work
and getting along all right.
Easter services were held in the
German Lutheran church at this place
last Monday afternoon.
Mrs. Patrick Clinton living south
east OF Buck Grove mourns the loss
Of her aged mother, who died at her
home last Monday, at the advanced
age of SO years. The funeral services
were held at the Catholic church in
Denison, and the remains were laid to
rest in the cemetery at that place.
Tom Clinton met with quite an ac-
cident last Tuesday night. His team
ran away, and in doing so ran into E.
Stegeman's buggy and quite demolish-
ed it. Nobody was hurt but Tom and
he was picked up on the side of the road
unconscious. He broke collar bone
| but otherwise was unframed. How
he escaped more serious injury is a
miracle.
Pearl Bonney who is attending col
lege in Denison, was appointed to
teach in the North Buck school last
week to fill vacancy for few days.
Mr.. and Mrs. David Weatherby,

priceless. relic of the Masonic fraternity
of the District of Columbia, the

ture ceremonies of like character.
Building Classic in Design
The building dedicated today will
be classic in design. 1t suggests in
its general division of parts the Garde
Heubele on the Place de La Concorde,
Paris, while the pavilions are model
ed on those of the Colonna de Du
Louvre. Alphabetically, the front
is divided into two parts, the lower
corresponding to the first story of the
building, constituting rustlcated"
base on which, extending through the
second and third stories, is the colon
made surmounted by its entablature
and balustrade. Some idea of its
size is given by the following 'front.'
ages: On B street, 476 feet; on New
Jersey avenue, 40 feet; on First
street 452 feet and on e street 34s
feet, making total frontage of LAO
feet, or approximately one-third of a
mile. The building will contain 40
rooms for members, together with a
multiplicity Of caucus rooms, aud
fence rooms, postofice, restaurant
and s,other features of modern office
building in any of our large cities.
Makes Capitol More Imposing
The long unbroken cornice lines
of the Office building leading up
naturally to the capitol building and
from thence to the great dome, the
browning ,and dominating, unit in the
group of buildings now on Capitol
Plaza, are calculated by its designers
to conduce to the desired effect of
making the capitol building more inn
posing and effective.
Seats have been provided for $1,000
persons, including the members of the
senate and house of representatives,
the supreme court, the diplomatic
corps and grand masters of Masons
from Virginia, West Virginia, Mary
land, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
A larger reservation is also made
for the Masonic blue lodges and the
several communicates of the knights
Templar.

there is a good and substantial rea.
son for the increase. That is some.
thing which must not be overlooked by
the people. For instance, one case
has been cited where two years ago
but .$145 was given in as the value Of
a certain mans personal property
This year his notes, money, ETC.. were
included in the assessment and It
amounted to over $4,000. No wonder
there was an increase. All will agree
that there ought to have been an In,
crease. Another man had built a
house about three or four years ago
and for some reason 1t had never been
assessed. He had been paying taxes
on an unlmproved lot only. Was that
fair? Ought not his taxes to be more
this year? And thus the story runs,
all the people have to do is to inyesti.
gate the case when a man pays more
taxes and they will find that he is get.
ting nothing that isn't coming to him.
Mark our words and. search the rec
ords as to their truthfulness.

4rHINk ON THESE 1HINes.u

The Republican party has kept its
promise and given the people reduced
taxes, The Democrats said 1t could
not and would not be done. 1t is i'm.
portant for the people to remember
what the Democrats said in this con-
nection. But a more important point
10 be considered is that the saving in
taxes is not for one year nor two, nor
dozen, but for all time to come in
this State. For many years the com.
mon people have been bearing far
more than their share Of the tax bur
den. Year after year the load has
been getting heavier and had 1t not
been for the foresight, energy and
pluck Of the Republican leaders there
would yet be no relief in sight. But
the battle has been fought and won.
The thing to do now is to take care
OF the victory. Taxes have been very
materially reduced and no political
party will dare assume the RESPONSE
bility of raising them again unless the
people show no interest in what has
been accomplished. If the voters ap.
preciate having an equitable system OF
taxation and the saving that has come
tc them, let them show their apprecla.
ton by giving little time to the
cause. Go to the polls and urge your
ncighbors to do the same, 1t is i'm
portant that the new tax laws have
friends in the next Legislature.

IMPORTANCE OF THE DECISION
OF THE JUDGES IN THE 3.

Internationally our Democratic
friends are aiding the cause of the
people in their endeayor to have the
corporations pay their Just share Of
taxation They paint very dark pic
tnre Of what would happen in case the
Circuit Judges now sitting on these
appeal cases should decide in favor
81 the contention Of the railroad com
pany. They say tremendous bur-
den would be shifted upon the people
Undoubtedly that is true and this fact
will make the Judges take extraor.
binary caution lest a mistake be made
II the railroads succeed in reducing
their assessments, a large number Of
public service corporations, in fact
nearly all Of them in every county
Of the State, would more than likely
institute similar proceedings for re.
auctions. The Circuit Judges know
tiiis and that will still make them
more careful in what they do. We are
Z obliged to our Democratic friends fot
helping Impress this fact upon the
men who will pass upon this question.
But the motive Of the Democratic pa
pers in saying these things is far diff
ferent from the results achieved. They
want to make 1t appear that If by any
chance the judges would interpret the
law as meaning physical value" in
stead Of market value and thus re.
duce the assessments of railroads that
} the whole tax reform movement will
have gone by the wall. Not so. dear

Commissioner Dillon, backed by the
Republican party Of West Virginia.
are not making this fight to be lost
at the first reversal. If the law should
he interpreted as our Democratic
friends would like It to be, the next
step would be to so amend the law
that there could be no escape. We DO
not anticipate any such decision, but
should such one be made then it will
be more necessary than ever to have a
Republican Legislature to work with
Governor Dawson in closing the loop.
holes Of the corporations if any
should be found. If any one has any
fears on this line let him go TO the
polls and vote for Rufus E, Harr, ].
2 NJ. Jacobs and Jesse A. Mason, the Re-
publican candidates for the House of
Delegates from this county. This is
no time for idleness or lethargy. Let
us be up and doing and safeguard our
Interests. The Democratic candidates
stand for the repeal of the new tax
laws and the reduction of the assess
ments on railroads and other public
service corporations. Take no chances
on this question. Go 10 the polls and
vote the straight Republican ticket
and thus insure continuation of good
times and low taxes.

confines itself to the town limits, to
corporations, railroad properties and
the like. Almost every hour in the
