After-the-war-Prices.


A Bangor man submits the following in
teresting bill, which gives one an idea OF
the prices for food our forefathers in the
time Of the Civil war paid, and draws
some conclusions therefrom. The bill
was presented by the late George LAdd,
who formerly kept grocery store in the
store now occupied by the Rice & Miller
Co. The first item on the bill is
% lbs. sugar at II $50
In those days q man worked ten hours
for $50, and this amount would purchase
little less than nine pounds Of sugar.
To-day he can buy for eight hours labor
at Y per day, 50 pounds OF sugar at six
cents per pound.
The next 10
pounds Japan tea at si.as....-..-.-.-...s2-5 80
- This means that for his ten hours labor
he could purchase one and one-hfth
pounds Of tea. To-day eight hours labor
will give him enough money to get four
pounds Of tea, in all probability better
than the q rs tee Of '6s.
Next on the list comes
gallon Of coal ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS cents
Those who sre complaining about kero-
sene at IA cents per gallon would do well
to examine this item closely. A laboring
man could then buy slightly iess than
three gallons for the reward Of ten hours'
labor; now, for his eight hours, he can get
fifteen gallons Of better iiluminant than
the 56-cent variety Of after-the-war times.
The commonest articles of food, wefi
named the star OF life, is the last and most
important subject Of comparison.
This means that ct that time . man had
to WORK moro than 100 hours to obtain
money enough to buy . barrel OF -four,
and that, too, perhaps not of the best
grade. In 1910, at eight hours for 2, the
laboring man 10 able to purchase three
and oDe-third barrels Of the best -four for
100 hours Of labor.

Suburban boys.
Stretch made East Oranges first
touchdown on a queer play. After Nc
Bratney had blocked one of Stevens's
punts the ball bounded behind the goal
line and Stretch fell on it for the first
score. Right Halfback Switzer was
credited with two t~ouchdowns. His
playing, on the whole, was a sensation
throughout. He carried the ball for
substantial gains several times and
made many tackles that brought the
large crowd of students that were
present to their feet
Don Walton also starred for the Red
and Blue. He carried the ball for a
distance of forty yards on two consec-
utive forward passes by Captain
Welles, making the third touchdown of
the game. Welles kicked three out of
four goals from touchdowns. Emmett
Murray. one of the Suburban eleven's
guards, received a sprained ankle in
the game, which may keep him out for
the rest of the season.

NM HILE the weather today prom

game of the Philadelphia Chicago
series for the worlds baseball cham
pionship, Manager Connie Mack was
hopeful. He said that 40 degrees Fair
enheit was just about right for freez-
ing onto the big pennant.
Upon Chances chances of winning
today's game depended the termina-
ton or the prolonging Of the series.
The Athletics were out to win Inc es-
tablish a new record by capturing a
worlds title and a worlds record at
the same time by taking a worlds
championship In foul games.
The official scorers spent the off day
yesterday, due to rain, by computing
he averages of the players. How COM
pletely the Cubs have been outclassed
and the excellent work of the Ath-
letics' twirlers may be judged from the
fact that the team batting average of
the Mackmen Is 1856 compared with
.1ss for the Windy. Citizens. The
American Leaguers have made
more than twice the number OF hits,
the count being SO to II, and the field
ing marks are $50 to .s91, with the
'Phils" in the lead. In every depart
ment the Cubs appear to be outclassed.
How ridiculous 1t sounds now to read
the predictions of experts who have
seldom made bad predictions. Such
statements as these were printed the
day before the first game: The Ath-
letics will be outclassed." Connie
Mack may have some brains, but II IL
impossible for him to develop those OF
