Hldh COST OF LIVING

Much is being said and written about
the high cost of living; and many rea,
sons are being advanced as the cause
for the increased prices of those things
that replenish the table. Bnt no sutii.
cient nor satisfactory reason has been
given except the one of supply and de
mand, Why is il that month ago we
We're paying thirty cents dozen for
eggs, and today we are paying but six,
teenY Simply for the reason that ON
account of the coming spring and warm
er weather the supply has been very
largely increased while the demand has
remained about the same While the
price of eggs has been coming down,
that of hogs has been going up because
while the supply of eggs has been in
creasing the number OF hogs has been
diminishing. IL we could grow fat hogs
ready for the market in u single month
there would soon be y big supply and
like eggs the price would soon decrease
just in the same ratio that the supply
would increase Farm products have
been high Tor number of years for
reason that the supply has not kept up
with the demand, There has been an
increasing consumption of flour, meat
butter and eggs because there has been
plenty of work at good wages, and the
wage Garner has expended his income
to furnish good table for himself and
family. To close the shops or to cut
down the wages to any material extent
would quickly lessen the demand for
these products to such q degree that the
price would go down. The rapidly in
creasing population will probably keep
far enough ahead Of farm production to
keep the prices up to what they are at
present unless they are reduced by the
coming of little work and low wages. y

THE ROCK ISLAND
RAILWAY LINES
Are Being Improved BY Heavy Rails
And Equipped With New Steel
Freight and Passenger Cars

II has remained for the great west,
and one of its greatest railway systems,
the Rock Island lines TO set new pace
in the laying of 100 pound steel rails.
This big system of railroads has selected
its Illinois division, running from Chi
cage 10 Rock Island rs the first section
for this Improvement There are now
being rolled enough rails to lay lib miles
which will begin at once.
The laying of steel weighing 100
pounds 10 the yard is long step in the
direction of absolute safety in railroad
ing With rails SO heavy and so made
as To make them unhrealSable the danger
of trains leaving the track is SO minim-
mized rs TO cause fear Of such q thing to
disappear Not only that but such
heavy steel brings about a stability of
track that brings the maximum of com.
fort in riding, These rails, on solid ties
resting in turn on solid beds of ballast,
insure against the rocking and iolting
that is so disagreeable ON less substan-
TALLY constructed track
Another thing that has made il neces-
sary to rebuild railroads with heavy
steel is the massive locomotives and
weighty cars now in use in the passen-
ger service, Each year has brought its
Improvement in passenger ears, every
move adding to the comfort and excel
ence of rail travel Also each change
has brought heavier ears rs steel has
taken the place of wood in their con-
struction. Now, with ears made entire
ly of steel, each one weighs in the neigh.
borhood of seventy tons. A dozen or
more of these attached to one of those
up to.dato locomotives that weighs in
the neighborhood or 200 tons gives
pretty heavy train and requires sub.
stantial track.
In these days of heavy travel and
rapid transit the tourist looks first to
safety then 10 comfort. I'm order that
It's trains may supply both these requi.
sites the Rock Island lines have made
heavy rail laying one of the steps In
that direction.
