Pennsylvania Finds out Things Rel
alive TO Hiuh Prices

Washington, d. c., Oct. Al. W.
Kjelgaard, a farmer near the little
town of Gaines, Pa, has made an i'm
portant discovery. His harvesting
done and his fail blowing all attend
ed to, Mr. Kjelgaard bethought him
self that he would take little trip
over to New Yo-k.
What Farmer Kjelgaard learned on
this trip is of the utmost interest to
every housewife in the. country.
Like many other farmers Mr.. KEEL
gard is deeply interested in the cost
of living problem, and as many
others have asked, he likewise asked,
"Who is responsible for these high
prices?" When he asked this ques-
ton in his little Pennsylvania town
he was met with perfect chorus OF
mot Is Not l." said the local
buyer Not l." said the railroad
agent. Not IT, said the express
company. mot |" said the commits
sion merchant. Not |" said the
cold storage man. mot |" said the
retailer.
very WE'LL" said Farmer Kjel
gard. II will go over to New York
and see what can find out there.
And 90 to New York he did. And
here are few of the things he found
out:
That milk for which he received
two and half cents a quart sold fol
nine cents to the consumer
That a sheep for which he receiy
cd $3.50 sold for SIP.
That potatoes for which he receiv
ed 30 cents bushel sold to the con
sumer for as high as $3.50.
That butter he sold for 20 cents
brought 40 cents.
That eggs for which he received
Is cents brought 40 and As cents.
Startled by these figures, Mr.. Kjer
gard went even further He called
on 4. f. Yoakum, president OF the
Frisco railroad and Mr.. Yoakun
| gave him some figures which startled
him still more Here they are:

The Inner man" will be satisfied
Christmas day in Topeka, to judge
from the volume of business that the
grocery stores and meat markets
have been doing in the last day or
two.
I'VE have had the best Christmas
trade in the history of our establish

leading store this afternoon. Last
night we were kept up until midnight
handling our orders, and this evening
we expect to do a rush business.
Turkeys are apparently somewhat
scarce as a number of stores have
come to us to see if we could supply
their demand. They are selling at 25

big surprise to the kiddies who will be
the guests of the Elks on this occasion.
Tt has been set on the rostrum in the
club room and extends to the ceiling.
In addition to it's gigantic proportions
it will be deliberately decorated with
presents. electric lights and other forms
of illumination. which will make it one
of the most attractive in Topeka.
In addition to these decorations,
palms, ferns and other Christmas
greenery will be used and the lodge
room will be made as attractive as pos
sible The committee will not attempt
to decorate the lower rooms of the
building more than is customary, but
even these rooms will be attractive,
and the kids will sure meet with a sur
prise.
The committee is composed of Messrs.
Arthur Mills, E. A. THRILL s. C. Mich
OILS, Floyd Baker, Ed Brockett and H
L. Hail. This committee is being as
sisted by Mrs. Thrill and Mrs. Charles

just what they want and when they
want it.

er will forget, will be awaiting them.
They will be allowed to enter the
dining room at any time they please,
stay as long as they please or go in
as often as they please and eat as
much as they want. Ice cream and
cake and other eatables sure to please
young America will be served.
The children will be divided into
twelve different classes. Their class is
determined by their age and sex

preme on this occasion. His real
identity has not been made known but
it is assured that he is a professional
and the children will not have any
fault to make with his attention to-
ward them.
The Elks will be on hand to assist
the committee and will leave nothing
undone which will add to the com
fort or entertainment of the Christ
mas children They will be allowed
the liberty of the entire building and
will be allowed to do as they choose.

MORGAN PAYS IT ALL
Provides Private Cars to Bring Presi-
dent and Others to New York.

New York, Dec. 23.-More than 500
persons have already purchased tickets
for a peace dinner to be held here next
Saturday night, and the affair will be
numerically, at least, the biggest of its
kind ever held. President Taft is to
be the guest of honor and he will come
from Washington with nearly all the
members of the cabinet and their
wives.
]. Pierpont Morgan volunteered to
pay for a private car for the transpor-
tation of the president and his party.
Then came acceptances of invitations
from nearly every ambassador in
Washington, and the committee de-
sired to bring them here and send them
back in comfort, but one car would not
hold them all. careful reckoning
made it certain that at least three pri-
vate cars would be needed-maybe
four. This meant a wholly unex pected
expense, but the difficulty was
srnoothed away when Mr. Morgan was
told about it. "I'n pay" he said
