To Send
so, 600 Troops

CARDIFF, Wales, via London,
Sept. 30.-At a big meeting here
over which the Earl of Plymouth
presided, David Lloyd George,
the chancellor of the exchequer,
spoke of the governments deci-
sion to raise a Welsh army OF
10000 men.
Mr.. Lloyd George. who deliver
ed a rousing speech. said that
Glamorganshire already had re-
cruited $4,000 and Monmouth
shire $4,000 men. He frankly
told his hearers that the recruits
we're not going out for a picnic,
but for a stern enterprise which
would involve hardships, wounds
and danger, but, he added, vast
majority would return and would
have glorious memories to the
end of their lives-memoriest they
wou1d not barter for all the gold
in the Bank Of England.

Aquatic Notes.

While using his sons canoe on the
upper creek Sunday afternoon, former
township official received an involuntary
bath. He states that it is surprising
how cold the water is at this time o.
year.
1t is none too soon for the members Of
the Early Risers' and Ankokas Canoe
Clubs who have SO successfully conduct
ed the Fourth of July carnival and re-
gatta in preceding years, to begin tC
lay plans for this seasons event. Last
year the matter of securing music was
left too long, and it was found impossible
to obtain band, as was desired. Specta-
tors will find plenty of seats this time
as the benches and seats of the airdome
moving picture show were purchased
last fall by the carnival committee, and
carefully stored for use this summer. "A
special effort should be made to obtain
large number of entries in the carni-
val. While the canoes that participated
last year were far more deliberately and
beautifully decorated than ever before
they were few in number, and this de-
tracts from the interest of the event fol
both spectators and contestants. With
the number of canoe owners on the up
per creek there should be no difficulty in
having at least forty entries. 1t has
been suggested that this difficulty might
be overcome by changing the basis upon
which the prizes are awarded. In last
years parade were several novel anC
original designs, representing some par
ticular object or idea. These canoes wer,
practically out of competition, as tn,
judges were restricted to awards on tn,
score of beauty alone.

Prices a Century Ago.

From daybook kept by the owner OF
general store in Berks county, Pa, 100
years ago, one gets a good idea of what
it cost tOelive then and also what people
ate. With nearly every bill of goods
charged would be attached one gallon
whiskey, rum or brandy, price rs cents.
Homes were lighted with candles, cost
ing anywhere from 37t cents to 874 cents
a pound. Calico was 37t cents to rs
cents per yard. Tea was 81 pound. In
one charge man bought one quarter of
veal at four cents a pound. Eggs were
never more than 10 cents per dozen,
with six to eight cents the commoner
price. Chickens, 12t to Is cents apiece;
geese, Is cents to 37s cents apiece; beef,
three to four cents; wool, 10 cents TO 123
per pound; muslin, so cents yard. The
climax was reached in one charge-one
bushel of salt SIG. One hundred years
ago it was manufactured goods and COM
modities against which transportation
costs were charged which were high, food
then was cheap. Today factory products
are cheap, food dear.
