Man and hiia Doc.

He lies in front of me curied up be- fore the fire, as so many dogs must have lain before so many Ares. 1 sit on one side of that hearth, as so many men must have sat by so many hearths. Somehow this creature has completed my manhood: somehow. cannot explain why, man ought to have a dog. A man ought to have six legs; those other four legs are part of him. Our alliance is older than any of the passing and priggish explana- tions that are offered Of either of us. Before evolution was we were. You can find 1t written in book that am a mere survival of squnbble of an- thropoid apes, and perhaps ] nm. 1 nm sure I have no objection. But my dog knows l aln n man, and you will not find the meaning of that word written in my book as clearly as 1t ls written in his soul.-G. K. Chesterton.

Increased Prices
Not Expected by
Local Produce Men

Despite assertions 90 the contrary local
produce merchants do not look for any
/ fragrant increases IN produce prices in
this country as result Of the war In
Europe. Al. King. manager Of Hayden
Brothers grocery department. declares
that a general war would bring prices
down on such articles as flour and meat
and only such a. coffee and tea ard rice
and commodities raised I'm foreign lands
would advance.
At the present time beef IL selling at
the same price II has maintained for
some time. Corn-fed beef sells for fif-
teen and half cents and packers are
not buying additional supplies for the
simple reason that there IL no way TO sell
except for home consumption. Commits
sion merchants are advising clients to
hold their stock in hopes OF cessation of
hostilities which would open the market
in Europe and thus bring about better
prices. AS It IL. the market is limited 10
home consumption, supply is as great as
ever and prices must come down.
The same applies to flour. The wheat
crop is abundant and with war there will
be no opportunity TO export from this
country. The crop IL so extensive that
home consumption cannot possibly use all
OF the wheat and the price OF flour will
accordingly fall.
Butter has gone up one cent on the
Elgin market, but IL still selling at the
same retail price here. Eggs are the
same and prospects are for no Increase
Pork has advanced ~ cents on account
