Bowser Tells How to Decrease
the Cost of Living.

What, crick in the back?" she
asked.
'Crick. nothing! I have solved the
problem,"
"Hurrah' When I saw that awful
look on your face 1 knew that you
would do it. Mr.. Bowser, I am proud
of you"
We'll, 1 think I do deserve a bit of
credit he replied as he swelled out
his chest. I've been wrestling with
something that affects tens of millions
of people, ard the solution is clear
at last Come up stairs and I'll tell
you all about it,
When Mrs. Bowser had got seated.
and when he had paced ten times
across the sitting room and back, he
paused. braced his feet and said:
Mrs. Bowser, you can remember
back when butter was only 10 cents
a pound, and eggs only and cents
a dozen?"
yes, dear"
when a head of cabbage was only
cents and potatoes were almost Civ
en- away"
''Yes?"
when family could live on IS a
week and put money in the bank be-
sides?"
''Yes?"
But now it takes almost a weeks
wages to buy the cabbage alone The
price of everything eatable has gone up

ducers? Where is the money to buy
with? Where the knowledge of farm

''Why-why-"
"Do you go? Do Z go? Does the
banker, lawyer or editor go? Is the
saloonkeeper across the road going?"
'But-but say that's the solution
"Mr. Bowser, it is nine miles to the
Bloomingdale asylum''
But you are a liar and a highway
robber right where you stand!"
Then Mr.. Bowser went out. There
was a man leaning up against the
fence on the corner, and five minutes
later, as the butcher looked out, the
two were engaged in a deadly con-
lict.-(Copyrighted 1910 by Associat-

Mrs. BowSer, can't you make more
soft soap in ten gallon kettle than
you can in a five?''
Surely
'"Then, if you double the number of
farmers doesn't it follow that prices
must come down one-half? Quadruple
the number and we pay just one
fourth of present prices. Could any
thing be palmer and clearer"
Nothing in the world. And you

"And IL"
you have thought all along that
I was a dunderhead. I haven't been
saying much, but 1 calculated on sur

Has Bowser !nade go5d? Is he sim

or does he stand in class APP
| ooh, Mr.. Rowser, you are at the
head of the class. You must go right
over and tell the butcher all about it.
He'll sc it in a minute. When you
come back we will telephone for the
reporters. We want to get it before

is the solution. 1t surely is. I thought
it was crick in the back, and all the

The butcher was at home. The beef
trust had jus. added 2 cents a pound

solution was stated and he innocently

"Mr. Bowser, you are the greatest
man in America. 1 am certainly
proud of YOU
you ought to be, but it won't
stop with you. The whole country
shall ring with my name Oh, it will
comet will come. I have kept quiet
about the North Pole and the South
Pole and Mt. Mckinley, but I've been
thinking just the same. If I can bring
cabbages back to 8 cents a head do
thing about poles and mountains %
"Of course i.ot, and now tell me all
about it,
well, to begin with there are just
so many farmers in the country. The
number neither increases nor de-
creases. Where one sells out another
buys in. That's straight, isn't t?''
"As straight as a clothes pole"
'But the number of consumers is
increasing by leaps and bounds. A
farmer can raise only so much. Where
he used to raise for 40 or so consumers
he is now called upon to raise for 300.
He can't do it. and as a consequence
there is a mad scramble for what he
does raise, and prices are forced up.
Do you follow me?''
Perfectly. never heard a clearer

Mr.. Bowser's chest swelled out as
if he had York state cheese behind
his shirt bosom. and he smiled bland

Easy as falling off log"

| While it may be true that the vault

 one is needed, or the old one should 1 be enlarged, it appears from what was

 The fact that Westport has agreed to bond the town for $16.00o with which to begin the construction of a system If settlement basins, as part of

It is true the Westport meeting was not a legal town meeting. and the 25 votes cast in favor of bond ing the town. will have no effect, un- less a majority of voters in a legal town meeting, agree to the proposition. Nevertheless the subject is worth con siderfng in view of the big building boom which has been predicted. Peo- pie who buy small building lots want sewer connections, and when they dis cover that none can be had, many of them will be reluctant to invest. The District Superintendent Rev.
