HIGHER PRICES UNIVERSAL
Tendency Upward is General and
Not Confined to This Country

The department of merce and
labor on October 81 issued a circu-
lar making comparisons of the aver
age wholesale cost in the country Of
foreign articles imported into the
United States during August,
1900, with August of this year. 1t
shows that advances in prices have
been quite as marked in other parts
of the world as in the United States,
where the new school of political
economists are wont to ascribe high
prices to the malign influence of COM
binations or to a wrong theory of
government. The circular shows that
for the period of ten years in those
foreign countries from which this
country imports these things their
value has increased as follows:
Coffee, from Ga cents per pound
to lis cents. or S4 per cent.
Rubber. from 46.9 cents per pound
to S3.4 cents, or II per cent,
Wool clothing, from - cents per
pound to 22.9 cents, or 90 per cent.
Combed wool, from 1913 cents per
pound to 1873 cents, or II per cent.
Flax, from $216.S2 per ton to
$43S.65. or 102 per cent.
Hemp. from $l65.61 per ton to
$210.10, or &c per cent.
Tin plate, from cents per pound
to 80 cents. or 80 per cent
Tin bars and blocks from 26.5 cents
per pound to 4l2 cents, or SO per
cent.
Tea, from 1873 cents per pound to
1872 cents, or SO per cent.
Even for the past twelve months
comparing August. 1910, with August
of this year, prices increased as fol-
| lows:
Rice. from "a cents per pound to
81 cents, or rs per cent.
Cement, from 2S.4 per cwt. to 3S.S
cents. or SO per cent.
Currants. from 81 cents per pound
to 4.S cents, or % per cent.
Figs, from 5.S cents per pound to
O. cents, or &c per cent
Almonds, from 1913 cents per pound
to las cents, or 40 per cent
| Calf skins. from PAL cents pei

EIGHT MILLION MARK PAST
COnveyances Put on Record in County
Auditors Office During Year

With the twenty-cix deeds and four
contracts on land filed with the coun-
ty auditor Saturday for record, the
total consideration of all conveyances
made during the year, to date, is S.
'010,S14,42. In reality the amount
would have been much greater in
value but for the fact that in three
fourths of the conveyances the amount
,of consideration was given at a mere
ly nominal figure, mostly 81, when 1t
may have been up in the thousands
Among the larger conveyances Sat-
urday were the following: Emily

eolnn Round the World.

In sailing around the world east
ward the days are each a little less
than twenty-four hours. according to
the speed of the ship. as the sun is
met little earlier every morning.
These little differences added together
will amount TO twenty-four hours.
This gives the sailors an extra day
not in imagination, but as an actual
fact They will have done an extra
days work. eaten an extra days ration
Of food and imbibed an extra days al
lowance Of grog.
On the other hand. I'm sailing west
ward the sun is overtaken a little each
day. and so each day is rather longer
than twenty-four hours, and clocks
and watches are found TO be too fast.
This also will amount in sailing around
the world TO the point of departure TO
one whole day by which the reckoning
has fallen in arrears. The eastern
bound ship. then, has gained a day.
and the western bound ship has lost
one. This strange fact clearly work
ed out leads to the apparent paradox
that the frst named ship has a gain OF
two whole days over the latter. If we
suppose them TO have departed from

West Brandywine GraugerS
Favor Raising Of "NannieS'
on State Farms
COED SUBSTITUTE
FOR MUTTON, He SAYS

Before the meeting of the West
Brandywine Grange at Talleyville
last evening there was discussed q
question Of great interest to all the
grangers. It has been agitated by
them for some time and last evening
il was decided to hold a discussion
upon the matter and this proved TO
be most interesting. The subject is
that of raising goats on Delaware
farms on an extensive plan.
There were many who were heartily
i'm favor Of the idea, among them
some who have some experience in
the goat raising field and there is
every chance that the project will
soon be carried through by the
grangers.
II was argued that goat milk is said
to be the most healthy which could
be used and one Of the grangers went
so far as to say that goat meat is
sold very successfully for mutton. BE
this as II may, the majority of the
grangers are i'm favor of raising goats
and 1t is altogether likely that goats
VIII soon replace COWS on one of the
farms in this vicinity

on the abolishment Of the turnpikes

the turnpike. The owners of the
