HIGH OsTO Of LIVING
IN OLD MISSOURI
MAY COST a LITTLE MORE THAN
IT EVER DID. BUT IT'S
WORTH 1T.
HORSES SEEM TO BE CHEAPER
Statistics Furnished by Supervisor Of
Labor Statistics Show Range Of
Prices of Various Needful Com
mcdfties in the State.
Jefferson city.

The difference in the cost OF living
on May /, 1914, and the same day in
1918 is shown in a bureau of labor
statistics bulletin constituting ad-
vance information from the 1914 Red
Book given publicity by Commission
er John 7. Fitzpatrick. There are also
figures to show the value of certain
staple commodities on April 15 for a
period Of two years.
Some commodities were cheaper on
the day mentioned than they were
four years ago, but others which ad-
yanced make up the difference enough
to make the cost of living higher. On
May L, 1914, corn sold for 55 cents,
and on the same day a year later for
rs cents. Oats went up from 80 to 45
cents, selling for the higher price on
May /. 1914. Potatoes experienced a
sharp advance, going up from u cents
a bushel to $1.01. Flax seed, May J.,
1918 and 1914, sold for the same price
$1.20. Cotton was 9.5 cents a pound
on May L, 1913, and 11.5 cents on May
/, 1914. Butter was cheaper on May
L. 1914. selling for 81 cents a pound,
as compared with % cents a pound
on the same day in the previous year.
Eggs went 1 cent higher, selling for
Is cents on May /, 1918, and Is cents
On May 1, 1914. That dainty, chicken,
which has made Missouri famous all
over the land, went up in value in a
year from an average of lis cents a
pound to 1872, but pork came down,
selling for $50 a hundredweight on
April Is, 1918, as compared with $3.50
on the same day in 1914. Beef brought
the same price or the same day II
both years, selling for $500 a hundred
Mutton was cheaper, selling for SIS on
April Is, 1918, and $4.70 on the same
day in 1914.
The bulletin, which was prepared
by Supervisor A. T. Edmonston o
the bureau of labor statistics, an
ounce that wool also came down
selling for 10 cents on April Is, 1913
and IS cents a year later. Veal wen
I'D from $3.50 a hundred on April 10
1918, to $3.50 a year later.
The following table, which gives the
value Of certain commodities on Apri
Is, 1918 and 1914, reveals that the
cost of living has increased in two
years, excepting horses, which de
creased, probably because of the con
stantly growing demand for automo
biles. .

STERILIZATION LAW IS VOID
Proposed Punishment in Iowa Peniter-

Three U. S. Judges Rule.

nes Moines, Ia.-Iowa's law for
the sterilization of criminals, idiots,
drunkards, drug fiends and 9th
ers, is unconstitutional, in the opinion
Of Federal Judges Smith Mcpherson
of Iowa, John G. Pollock of Kansas
and Walter l. Smith Of the circuit
court of appeals.
The law was passed by the last gen
eral assembly.
The court holds the law void be-
cause of the humiliation, the degra-
dation and the mental suffering"
which makes the punishment come
within the prescribed "cruel and I'M
usual clause Of the federal constitu-
ton, and further because it is under
the nature Of the bill Of attainder.
