LIVING COST TODAY
|. AND FORTY YEARS AGO
PRICES HIGHER IN DAYS OF OUR
DADS-CONVEN IN.
CREASE COST NOW.

Between 40 and As years ago the
bulk Of the necessities of life cost con-
siderably more than they do today.
This fact is made clear through the
unearthing Of an old day book Of APP
proximately 43 years ago in Dayton.
Ohio, regarding which the Kansas City
Star draws some interesting deduc-
lions.
The point most evident through
comparison Of prices then and now is
that as far as staples are concerned
todays quotations have all the best Of
the argument. BY way of example.

ination at the coming primaries, l de-
sire to announce that 1t is my inten-
ton to seek denomination and reelec-

"Of the legislative action recon-
mended by me the following was Sc
cured: Ratification Of amendment to
constitution of the United States pro-
viding for direct election of seniors;
proposal of an amendment to our state
constitution extending the term Of the
state officers from two to four years;
amendment of direct primary law so
as to more honestly carry out the pur-
poses Of such law; the non partisan
election of judges; a state highway
commission; a state board Of control
for educational institutions, and a
joint public utilities and tax commits

Legislative action was also recon-
mended by me on several other i'm

to receive favorable consideration. In

Business Conditions Unsatisfactory.


| 1t would have been surprise had
the shrinkage been delayed. because
business conditions have been travel
ing towards an extinction of any sur
plus in the treasury for months past.
Business men all over the country
and the public press In an effort to
stimulate tagging business have been
making an endeavor to conceal the
true condition into which the COM
merce of the country has fallen. With
this end In view, even these papers
that are not friendly to the adminis-
tration, have been publishing daily UNI
der the caption of the Sunshine Club"
and similar glowing altruistic head
lines, every account of reviving bust
ness that could be gathered from the
news dispatches emanating from the
four quarters of the country.
But in the last analysis the daily re-
ports of the treasury transactions are
the only correct standard of business
conditions. These reports are not af-

Retail Prices Advance.
Retail prices advanced from to
per cent on 10 staple articles Of food
during 1918 and declined In but two
Instances. according to the bureau of
labor statistics issued on February 10.
The percentage of advance was: Po-
t;.toes. 1913; eggs, 14.2; round steak,
1919; hams. 1876: rib roast, S3: SIR
loin, So: bacon. 50; hens. IL: pork

Retail prices last year were 7O9 per

period from 1889 to 1899.

 General Navarrete addressed the ed- itor. of a. local newspaper, Los Suceso. regarding the reported move ment by his forces against Vera Cruz.
 CT beg that you deny this news said General Navarrete, since in ac- .cordance with orders which we have received. all offensive movements have .been stopped while the armistice lasts.''
 The Americans are informed re- garding the positions of the Mexicans in the vicinity of their outposts and know reasonably well their strength So weak are they at present that the staff has felt no uneasiness regarding the outcome of any aggression, but they have feared somewhat the com plications which might follow the har- rassing Of their lines by small bodies of troops.
