Brave Young Woman Faced Death to

With both feet so frozen that they

Straver, twenty-five years old, is at
the home of an uncle in Eau Clair,
Butler county, Pa, following a des-
perate experience in which she brav-
ed death to save her honor. !.
The young woman arrived at Par
ker station during the night and
engaged a young man to drive her to
her uncle's home. Instead the man
drove in an opposite direction, and
when in an isolated spot attacked
Miss Straver. -.
After a fight in which she says she
was divested of nearly all her cloth
ing, including her shoes, she escaped
and fed down. a hill, through deep
snow to the river. After wandering
around all night she was discovered
in the morning and given aid. OFF,

The Higher Cost of Living.

The higher rate of living is sub
ject of universal discussion. Edi-
torials are written about it., house
wives dicuss it, the head of the house
pays the bills with a bitter realization
that he is being robbed. The secre-
tary of agriculture at Washington
has investigated the high price Of
meats and he made some discoveries.
Among them it was the wholesale
price of beef and that paid by the
last purchaser shows a difference of
thirty-eight per cent. He claims,
however, that this great difference
does not indicate great profit for the
retailer for a large portion it at
tributed to the expense attached to
the special delivery Of the product.
The secretary says that the retail
business is overdone, that the multi
plication of small shops is burden
to consumers and no source Of riches
to the small shop keepers. When
twenty or more small shops divide the
retail business within an area that
could be served by one large shop
the expense of the many shops for
labor, delivery horses, rent and other
things that are in excess of what
would be sufficient for the one shop
must go to increase the retail prices
of the meat sold. In other words
the secretary of agriculture would
recommend the suppression Of nine
teen-twentieths of the small butcher
shops, but how is he going to do it?
