is NOT GREAT

The cost OF living In Salt Lake City
has not advanced as much In the last
year as some people think IL has, accord
ing TO the statement OF local merchants.
On the other hand. they claim that In
number OF instances the prices are
lower now than q year ago and In proof
OF this assertion quote the prices on
twenty five articles sold III September
1910. and the price which is being asked
today.
1t will be noted that the sharpest I'D :
vance Is in the price OF sugar. that Of
cane sugar being 81 45 higher than in
September. 1910. and that of beet sugar
just 81 higher than II was a year ago
The price OF all kinds or meat show an
advance, but local butchers say that IL is
not nearly as great as has been made In
tho east. On the other hand. IL is claimed
that the advance In the price of sugar
Is more than offset by tho decline In the
price Of flour,
j, viii bc noted that there has been a
drop OF from 81 to 60 cents In the various
grades of flour within the year and n
much greater drop from what -four sold
at in this city six months ago. Fresh
creamery butter is selling today at D
cents n pound less than IL was selling a
price. Despite the cry IN the spring that
the peach crop OF the state was ruined,
there is good crop, and the prices arc
nearly ss low as they were Il year ago.
Taking the quality Of the fruit this year
as compared with last year. IL is claimed
that the price is as low as II was Il year
ago. The alarm sounded for the peach
crop also applied 10 the tomato crop. but
this years crop Is fully rs large as IL
was a year ago and the price Is somewhat
lower.

advice IS To purchase Within the next few
days. The supply OF cach Is now at Its
best, with the price as low as will be
asked this season. Scores of wagon
loads of peaches. pears, plums and other
fruits are being brought TO this city cv-
cry day Of the week with tho exception
OF Sunday. AS a rule the quality is cX-
ccllent and the prices reasonable In the
buying OF these things much depends on
the party from whom they are purchased
and the condition of the market. 1t is
the old axiom Of the law OF supply and
demand. II n large supply Is received on
the market during any day and the de-
mand is light the prices will decline; 81
on the other hand, the supply for a given
day Is short and the demand heavy the

Christmas onoe q Year.

Those Christmas bells as sweetly chime
AS on the day when first they rung
So merrily in olden time
And far and wide their music huns
Shaking the tall gray ivied tower
With all their deep. melodious power.
They still proclaim to ev'ry ear,
"Old Christmas comes but once a yearl"
Then he came singing through the woods
And plucked the holly bright and green,
Pulled here and there the ivy buds;
Was sometimes hidden. sometimes seen,
Half buried meath the mlstletoe,
His long beard hung with flakes of snow.
And still he ever caroled clear,
"Old Christmas comes but once a yearl''
What though upon his hoary head
Has falleu many a winters snow,
His wreath is still as green and red
As twas a thousand years ago.
Again we're happy all day long.
We smile and listen to the song,
Its burden still remote or near.
"Old Christmas comes but once yeari~

me think of some Christmas expert
ences of my own, first of the time

Santa Claus could get at them handily

good part of its time in states on the
southern Atlantic seaboard, in South
Carolina, Georgia and Florida. where
with water transportation to us we
could be got at rather more easily
than troops not so far away, but at
interior points, and so, while you
couldn't have things shipped to you
there as you could to this town or the
other in times of peace, you could
get things there pretty well, and the
patron for whom our company was
named when it was first recruited used
to see to it that at Christmas time
there was delivered to us a big box
home.
I'VE no longer bore his name in the
