BRADSTREET'S REPORT ON
INCREASED COST OF LIVING

Bradstreet's has compiled record
iof prices of sc commodities that en-
ter into daily and direct consumption
by the people and the result shows
that the cost of living has now reach
ed an absolutely high record, exceed
ing even that of March l, 1907, when
prices went soaring in anticipation OF
the panic that came in the fall OF that
year. The figures for December l last
were below the previous high record
in 1907 but the continuous skyWard
movement in the last month Of 1909
had established a new high water
mark by July /.
The figures compiled by Bradstreet's
are known as Index numbers. They
are based on actual wholesale quota
tons PSF pound for the commodities
in question, which to make them com
prehensive, are averaged over wide
area of markets. When it is said that
the index number for January, 1910,was
$9231O it means that q man buying
at Wholesale one pound each of the
SO commodities on that date would
have to pay that sum as total. No
attempt is made to compute retail
prices because of the wide fluctua-
tionc.
New High Record Established.
The new number surpaSses the
previous high record of March /, 1907,
$9.1293, by IL per cent. This ratio also
measures the advance that was made
on the sc commodities in December
last. At the same time the present
indef number reflects a gain of III
over January /, 1909, which means that
the prices of the SO articles rose APP
proximately 81 cents within a years
time. The lowest point for commodity
prices for which Bradstreet's have any
record was touched on July L, 1896,
when the index number xsos $5.7Gf5.
The latest figure shows gain of
more than 81 per cent. over this num-
Der indicating, of course, that for ev-
cry dollar you spent then for living
expenses you are spending $161 cents
now.
The new index number mirrors an
increase of 1915 per cent. over the COM
paratively low point reached on June
1, 1908, but it is only 3.5 per cent. over
that of jan /, 1907, also a time of as
cending prices, as forerunners of the
panic The gain over January 1, 1906,
is 1OS per cent, while the rise over
the same date in 1905 is 14.2 per cent,
and the increase over January, 1904,
is 1915 per cent.
Here is a table showing the impor-
tant swings of the index number on
the SO commodities since January 1,

10 death, so to speak. They are going
TO get a good. clear view OF the min

AT least they hope they are; they are
anticipating that pleasure Not that
any OF our ministers resemble Ad0nis
minutely. nor yet that they are so
painfully homely as to require close
scrutiny to discover pleasing fea-

not extremists either way-possibly a
little above the average in looks.
But people do like to see the man
they are listening to. and ministers.
no matter how ardent admirers of
millinery they may be, like OCCASION
ally to get a glimpse Of their congre-
cions plainly.
Rev. MIR. DrigEcrS. Of the Mctho-
DIST church, last Sunday requested
ihIt tie ladies attend the evening
services hereafter without their hats.
and 1t Is hoped that they will comply
with the request. or course this re-
quest has no reference to the morn

ON TIL ROUGH THE COUNTY.

Last week the last Of the prclimi-
nary steps looking to good road
Irom Walhalln straight through to
what is known rs the "Gardcn SPOT

weeks ago the Board OF Trade of
Westminster and the Business Mems
league OF Walhalla took up the mat
ter OF Il cross-country ideal road.
with the result that one Of the best
roads In the up-cOuntry will soon be
IN shape for the travelling public.
When completed the road will be
Sonc twenty miles in length, and It
rs proposed that It shall be second to
