Evidently the Greenfield committee
who made an investigation to determine
the relative cost of living IN Brattle-
boro and Greenfield and reported in
favor of the latter town made it's con-
illusions for home consumption.

terday with an auto-truck after a load
of potatoes which he bought of a grocer
on Main street for IS cents a bushel
which was decidedly lower than the pre-
vailing price in his home town. He also
bought a variety of other provisions
because he could get them cheaper here
than a. home.
