1921 by Hackatiah Bailey having

Brooklyn, formerly of Salem, Mass,

FOOD PRICES FALLING AND BREAD CHEAPER
Wheat Corn Cotton and Materials Market Standards Lead Expecte
Declne--AH Down Except Meat Even Meats Will Fall
Admission of Packer

New York City.-Wheat, corn, cot
ton, some of the metals, and those of
the other commodities which lend
themselves to speculation have been
declining for the past few weeks,
some of them sharply, and the poor
consumer, who has seen the cost of
living go up steadily since the panic
period, is beginning to hope that the
crest of high prices has been reached
and that most of the necessities of
life may get back again to something
like real values.
Flour Steadily Declining.
There are indications that the back
ward slide has begun. Flour has
gone down rs cents a barrel since
January, and s1.10 since its highest
price of last year, and east side bak-
ers have increased the size of their
loaves. Consumers are now getting
two pounds two ounces of bread for
seven cents. A short time ago they
got only two pounds for the same
money. This results in the saving
of thousands of dollars to the poor
I'VE have increased the weight of
loaves as much as we can," said Jacob
Book, of 159 East Houston street,
president of the Boss Bakers Associa-
ton.
1t is estimated that the increased
weight in the loaves will make a diff
ference of $4,000 a day to east side
consumers.
Everything Down Except Meat.
Other marked declines in the prices
of foodstuffs are bound to make them
selves felt in the retail markets and
in the household expense accounts.
Potatoes, for instance, are off from
40 to SO per cent. from the price of
last November, and while they do not

BIRD THAT WAS FORGOTTEN.

BIRD THAT WAS FORGOTTEN.
He was Mary Elizabeth's little bird,
and It was Mary Elizabeth who said
to him over and over, Sing happy
song, little bird"
In summer, while the cage hung
On the porch out doors, many man
and woman smiled when they heard
the happy song Of that little bird. In
winter sad looking friends who came
% call sometimes forgot the troubles
that made them sad when they heard
The wee pets bubbhng song. 1t did
seem as if that particular bird would
never be forgotten.
There came time, however, when
Mary Elizabeth went to Europe with
der father and mother. She couldn't
AXE the bird. A neighbor who had
40 cats offered to keep him until Mary
Elizabeth's return. Before the child
sailed she gave her pet bit of adj
vice:
always sing a happy song, little
bird"
At first it was easy for the little bird
20 sing a happy song, but one day his
kind friend was Obliged to leave town

strangers who promised to take good

always sing happy song, little
oird," were the last words the neigh
Dor said at parting.
Soon after there was children's
entertainment in the church to which
birds were invited. Mary Elizabeth's
pet was taken in his cage, and of all
The glad songs that day his was the
sweetest. He enjoyed the entertain

wing and went to sleep without fear.
He didn't know. poor little fellow,
hat the child who brought him lent
1im to her dearest friend to take
home and keep for five days; neither
lid he know that one by one the
birds were taken from the church,
md he was forgotten.
Next morning the little bird awoke,
sang happy song, ate his breakfast
and sang a happy song. His cage was
n a pew where a little girl had left
aim. The bird couldn't see the sun
shine streaming through stained glass
windows, but, while waiting for his
bath he sang a happy song. No one
came to give the little bird his bath.
10 he sang another happy song.
This is the part of the story Mary
elizabeth never liked to think of for
minute; how the little bird sang un-

his cup; how two days passed, and the
little fellow tucked his head under

The third day the organist came to
practice on the pipe organ. The lit
lie bird lifted his head when music
pealed through the church. He had
never heard anything like it - SO

The weak little bird must have re-
membered Mary Elizabeth's advice:
"Sing a happy song, little bird"
As the organist was passing to the
outer door she heard happy song.
And Mary Elizabeth's pet was found
before it was too late. The organist
had known Mary Elizabeth since she
was a baby, so of course she recog-
nized the brave little bird, who was
never again forgotten.

school now, but when she is discour-

THE BEnERIDGE BILL A6AIA

The strong fight being made by Delegate James Wickersham of Alas ka to defeat that pernicious bill, fath- cred by Beveridge of Indiana, which seeks to thrust upon us a government by 8 bunch of carpet baggers, com Dels admiration. He is opposed by a corporation of immense wealth, with q horde of paid satellites at it's com mand. In such a contest an Amer ican citizen with red blood in his veins must necessarily stand by the delegate. Of course, the fellows which are looking for the crumbs which fall from the rich monopoly's table are making a lot of noise, at so much per noise. The Beveridge bill ought not to become a law. We believe there is yet sufficient patriotism among the members of congress to defeat it. All are not of the Beveridge stamp of statesmanship.. Such men as Sena- tors Nelson, Clarke of Wyoming, Clarke of Arkansas, BOrah and Hey burn of Idaho, Frazier of Tennessee, and Congressman Sulzer and many others will not permit such un-Amer- ican legislation to be enacted into a law. despite the action of Beyeridge, Piles and several Others.-Seward Gateway.

 The Tax Payers candidates now have the majority on the council and will be held responsible for the ad ministrative acts of the council dur ing the coming year. They have out lined their pOlicy in their platform and spoken and published statements and should be given fair opportunity to make good on their prediction promises.

Of $40 In Broad Daylight In
The POStOffiCe
Police We're Notified But
Have No Clue

A man giving his name as Dunn and
his residence South Vernon complains
ed to Chief Dermody Tuesday after
noon that he had been robbed of $40
in broad daylight in the Mt. Vernon
postoffice.
The man stated that he was writing
post card at one of the counters
and laid his pocketbook down for
few moments before taking out some
money to buy stamps. In the pocket
book was 500 bill. When Dunn had
finished writing he discovered his
pocket book on the floor and upon
investigating found that the $40 had
been stolen. He stated to Chief Der
mody that a number of men were
writing at the same counter that he
was using, but he was unable to give
description of any of the men.
