WHO MAKES PRICES?
Merchant Shows That Many Grocer
Foods Are No Higher Than Forn,erI,

SrOCeEy
Foods Are No Higher Than Formerly.
A Marshalltown merchant has adj
dressed communication to the Times
republican tending to show that many
items that go to make up the daily
OIL OF fare in the homes are no higher.
and IN some instances, cheaper, than in
former years. He shows that the high
prices in our living expenses are for
things that are produced here at home.
such as meat, poultry, eggs, butter.
lard. etc. and their products. The
merchant says:
Does the farmer who brings pro-
duce figure his sale price on what the
article costs him to produce, plus a fair
profit or does he figure on how much
he can ask and not miss a sale? A
striking example today is hay. which
is bringing SIS to SIG ton on the mar
ket, not because it costs such a price to
produce, plus good profit, but because
the man who has it to sell asks the
limit and often after a sale wishes he
had asked more.
Now the high prices in our living
expenses are among those things we
produce here in Iowa such as meat,
poultry, butter, eggs. cheese, lard. and
their by-products. On the other hand
potatoes, canned corn. peas, tomatoes,
beans, rice hominy, and dry peas are
cheaper than last year. Gasoline and
kerosene are much cheaper than last
year
Flour. sugar, coffees, teas, syrups,
pickles. fresh fruits and vegetables are
as cheap as last year and in some in
stances cheaper. Apples are the excep-
ton, as the crop was a partial failure
all over the country and locally it was
lost on account of the freeze in Octo-
Der
Baking powders, extracts, and
spices, which are now pure. chocolate,
cocoas, nuts of all kinds, pure candies,
and canned fish are just the same
prices as former years, and the quail
ty great deal better. Salt fish are
about the same except some fancy
packs are a little higher.
"Brooms, another item which the
farmer raises the crop for, are little
higher on account of the hot dry sum-
rner land the resultant short crop all
over the country, together with the
man who had it for sale, who held 1T
up for exhorbitant prices like the hay
crop here.
Crackers by the box are little
higher than last year on account of
the increased cost of lard, cotton seed
oil, and flour, also boxes are costing
more each year, so the merchant can
not buy quite as low as formerly, but
has not increased the price of crack
ers in small retail way
Package cereals are just as cheap
as a year ago, in many instances lower
Laundry soaps are inclined to advance
on account of the raw materials Of all
kinds, cotton seed oil, animal greases
and other ingredients advancing this
fall.
"The living problem resolves itself
to this proposition that we as a peo-
pie can live reasonably we'll if, when an
article gets abnormally high, we eat
less of it and take up with some other
article of food until the others drop
back to normal the supply catching up
with the demand MERCHANT"

The Bethel church, known as the Old

in Marshall county, has passed out of
existence. The little old building has
been sold, and the tiny patch of ground
on which it stood has been disposed of,
Its furniture and sparse furnishings
have been auctioned off and but the
shell of the worshiping place, in which
some of the patriarchs of the county
early religious instruction held forth
long years ago.
Was Organized in 1851.
This old Bethel church is generally
accredited with being the first regular
ly organized congregation in the coun-
ty. 1t was so accredited in a paper de-
livered before the Marshall County
Historical Society by Mr. John W.
Wells a few months ago Its organi-
cation dates from 1881. and was held
intact until less than a year ago, when
the congregation disbanded and the
church, as a church organization,
ceased to exist. 1t was founded by the
Disciples, or Christians.
Was Historical Landmark.
The church has stood as a county
religious historical landmark. since
from It's organization dates the
first effort for an organized teaching
of religion in the county.
This church was an organization be-
fore Father Duncan, the Methodist mis-
sionary Of Iowa City, began his work
of organization for that denomination

sionary to enter the county but the

NEW YORK MARKET
COTTON PRICES
FORCED DOWN
~ ksacclated prAaa

New Orleans, Oct. 29.-Cotton futur IS
opened steady to 10 points down as the
result Of bear pressure. Liverpool was
considerably higher than expected and the
weather map indicated that the cotton
belt was experiencing one Of the cold
est spells in its history, the time of the
year, considered. but manipuative tao
tics were resorted to by the bears in
order to prevent the advance that ordi-
narily would take place on these features.
After the call the market was nervous
and undecided. A very fair demand
sprung up from shorts who were not dis
week and the leading shorts had to
supply this inquiry as well as that from
longs just coming into the market on the
strength Of the cold wave. At the end
of the first half-hour Of business the trad
ing months were to 10 points under
yesterdays close.
Pressure on the market increased as
the session grew older. The gossip Of the
floor said that selling orders were coming
principally from several spot houses noted
for their bearish tendencies. A crop
estimate Of 12,600,0 900 bales was issued
during the morning and much capital was
made out Of 1t by the leading bears, al
though the majority of local traders criti-
ciSed 1t as part and parcel of the ma
nipulation for fall in prices going on.
With futures down around the fourteen
cent level, many stop loss orders were
reached on the long side of the market,
which Increased the weak feeling. To-
ward noon prices were % to % points
under yesterdays close. The market
closed steady at net decline of q to
% points.
