iy 1t Must be Kept in Bank Vault.

In an issue OF the Ledger dated Oct.
l5, there was published an article and
table rhowlng how zach lowe the
prices of food stuffs were here than
in Columbia. The rates In the lat
ter city having been copied from the
University MIssourian. The following
data 81 twing an increase Of s per
cent in prices there is also from that
publication. 1t will be interesting to
note that prices are not only lower in
this city but what increase there has
been amounts to scarcely 4 per cent.
In two months, the prices Of eggs
have advanced from twenty-four cents
a dozen to thirty-fiye cents in Column
bia an Increase of about fortyfiye
per cent. Butter costs thirty-five cents
q pound; two months ago it cost
thirty cents.
The average increase on vegetables
and produce is eight per cent.
Columbia grocers and butchers say
an even greater advance in prices will
be manifest before December is past.
Columbia grocers say the high
prices on vegetables, fruits and canned
goods during the cold eason are due
to the lack of fresh articles. The
prices will continue high through the
winter and 1t is even probable that
there will be a further raise in prices
about Christmas, they say.
The prices on meat are governed by
the live stock market. This market
is lower now than it was in the fall,
hence most of the cuts are sold at a
lower price than then.
The Missourian says: ''The com
plants Of boarding house keepers
grow louder as the prices of grocerie
continue to advance. This is not sur
prising when the decrease in their
profits on account of high prices is
considered. The cost OF living in Co
lumbia, as computed by a boarding
house keeper in October, is twenty
six cents a day for each person. The
prices on these articles, including
both meats and groceries, are about
six per cent higher now than then.
This would cause an increased cost
Of one and one-half cents per day for
each person, For a woman who keeps
twenty boarders, the increased cost
would be thirty cents a day or So
a month Of thirty days. This is the
increased cos on these articles alone
and they by 10 means constitute the
entire list Of articles necessary fol

Ever since the first Christmas
night, when the songs of the angels
called mankind to the feet of the
newborn Savior, the JOY and glad
ness which His coming brought to
u sorrowful sin-laden world, has
been poured upon US with the same
unfailing bounty at each returning
Christmas. For this most beautiful
festival, the Birthday OF u Lord
the brightest and most gladstone OF
all festivaIs-is not a mere reminder
Of an event Of history over and gone
long ago; it is indeed meant to re-
mind us that our Sayior's human
life began on this day SO many hun
dred years ago, but that human life
once begun knows no end; it is still

sus Christ yesterday, too-day, and
the same forever" More than nine

Beautiful Savior, and He came for
all, to save all, to win all hearts.
Not merely for those who heard with
wondering awe the music Of that
first Gloria ringing through the skies
and saw with fear andd trembling the
brightness Of angel forms upon the
mountain side-not merely for those
did He come, but for all. He came
for those who had lived and prayed
and suffered and died centuries be-
fore that day. And Abraham looking
forward saw 1t and was glad; and so
also for us lost in the darkness OF
