LITTLE CHANGE
IN FOOD PRICES
GREATEST CHANGE IN PRICE is
FLOUR, BEING MUCH
HIGHER.
sugar Bacon and Lard Are Hiqher
But Coffee, Ham and Other
Staples Are Now Lower.

When the European war began.
there was a noticeable advance in
many new staple articles used by
the good housewife. and since that
time while the change has not been so
great, there Is enough of a difference
10 cali attention to. For instance. SUI
gar Is now selling for one cent a
pound more than before, while Ar
buckles coffee and Old Reliable cof-
Zee are one cent less. Whether the
difference in the price Is due TO the
war Is not known. althouh dealers
IN the product say that II is not: that
the change is due TO the general trend
OF business, etc.
Flour is now selling for as cents
more on the barrel than il was al the
time the European war began. BACON
Is selling for one cent more and lard
Is now eight cents more. Ham Is be-
ing sold for one cent less than before
The change may be due indirectly
TO the war. say many dealers, especial
ly In Instances where II is necessary
to carry the product by steamer on
the high seas. According 10 these
dealers, prices have held steadily 10
their places. but changes are noted
often within a very few days.

81 VOTERS NAMES
PLACED ON BOOKS
REGISTRATION COURT PASSED
ALMOST FEATURElESs
DAY IN WORKING
Prosecuting Attorney and Party Rep.
resentatives Had Nothing to %
Throughout The Day.

-Eightyone voters OF the county
added their names to tho registration
books yesterday. before the county
commissioners who were sitting as a
registration court. BY this return. 1t
Is said that this is the smallest num-
Der in the history Of the county that
was registered before the court. No
trouble whatever was experienced in
placing the names on the books. and
not the slightest hitch occurred in
the work. The prosecuting attorney
was present TO keep his eye on any
one trying to slip one over" but his
services were not needed.
To guard against past troubles.
leaders OF the parties were stationed
about and kept their eyes on the
registrars as they worked. Each man
was closely questioned Several
points will have to be settled. IL lie
understood. concerning the failure of
names TO appear on both registration
DOCKS alike. This point will likely be
appealed TO the court. However. few
such conditions arose. II is under
stood that one man in Triadelphia
district was on one book but had
not been placed on another. An ex-
animation showed that the other reg
lstrar still had an additional name on
ms oook so II was an even trade.
Yesterdays session of the board
was the last chance for voters to reg.
lister. Those who were not placed on
yesterday will not have a chance to
vote In the coming election. Mem
oers OF the two great parties express
ed themselves as well pleased with
the showing on the registration
books and feel that the proper in
terest will arise to get the voters TO
the polls.

ELIZA WAS GENEROUS.
Her Munificent Offer For an Original
Five Act Tragedy.

Five Act Tragedy.
People are likely to look back rom
miseratingly upon the past in these
days Of modern progress. When we
hear what the most prolific OF present
day novelists receives II word AMI
what the weekly royalties of any well
known playwrights are we say that
the literary profession has come int"
its own. Some bark back to the con
trasting tale-that Milton received
only f5 for the first copyright Of
PARADISE Lost" an epic IN twelve
books containing a total OF lU.Mia
lines. but that was over two centuries
ago. Poe received $40 for '"fhe
Raven" That may be dismissed with
the statement that poetry never paid.
The modern way Of making money
by literature Is even more recent thnn
il generally thought Alexander Hill
of Cincinnati. one Of the best known
book men and collectors OF the middle
west. has a letter in hts collection OF
autographs that proves this point.
Two generations ago Eliza Logan
was leading actress In America.

the typewriter. and be glad that when
you are paid it is space rates for the

personator Of It: tho scene not to be laid
