Extensive Pail.

On Tuesday of last week team
ster who resides in this town was ar
rested on complaint of a Norwegian
of Holmes City, on a charge of steal
ing a water pail worth forty cents.
The case was brought before Squire
Lancaster on Tuesday evening. The
prisoner called for a jury trial
which was granted, and the case ad-
journed until Wednesday evening,
when a jury of twelve men was en-
paneled After hearing the evidence
the jury failed to agree on a verdict.
On Thursday evening another jury
was empaneled, and new trial which
resulted in a verdict of guilty. The
justice fined the prisoner $500, which
together with the costs, amounted to
S51. From the facts elected at the
trial it appears that the complainant
and the defendant whilst travelling on
the road, stopped over night at the
same house and the pail was stolen
from the complaintant's wagon. The
pail litter has probably concluded by
this time that the cheapest way to
get a watering bucket is to buy one,
like an honest man. Fifty-one dol
lars would supply the average man
with pals for several years.

How to Wash Cut Glass Without
Breaking 1t.

Breaking 1t.
In washing cut glass. especially that
which is deeply cut, never Use hot wa
ter. If you do the thin places will
heat so much more suddenly than the
thick portions that they will expand
quickly and break the glass.
Have your cut glass in warm room
The water should be just warm. and
in it should be put a generous amount
of liquid ammonia. Then each piece
should be put into the bowl separate
ly and rolled over quickly, so that the
entire surface may become wet at
once. If the cutting is at all deep
rub all crevices with stiff brush COW
cred with a lather of ordinary soap.
Rinse the glass in another bowl con-
tanning water of the same tempera
ture. to which has been added a
squeeze of blue from the washing blue
bag, then dry Immediately upon a clean
and soft linen towel
Should you wish to give an added
luster polish the glass with alcohol
Hold the piece of glass to be treated
over a clean basin and pour the alec
hol-which must have been standing
in a warm room long enough to loss
its chill-over the glass. letting it rus
down into the basin beneath. so that
it will not be wasted Wipe dry in

FOOD PRICES IN 1874
HIGHEST ON RECORD
Bureau of Labor Statistics Shows In.
creased Cost of Provisions for
Workingmen's Families.

Workingmen paid more for food for
their families in 1914 than ever before,
according to figures just made public
by the bureau of labor statistics. The
figures show that the cost is increas-
ing each year. In 1914 the years cost
of filling the market basket of the
average workingman's family was
sS.6S higher than it was in 1913. and
s60.43 higher than it was in 1907.
These figures represent prices of If
teen articles aggregating approximate
ly two-thirds of the expenditure for
food by the average workingman'
family. The cost of these articles in
1913 was $4,000. making the 1914 cost
s340.5S, while in 1907 it was soS0.l5.
Calculating these amounts as two
thirds of the workingman's family food
expenditure, the total spent for food in
| three years would be: 1913, $500.s5
1914, s510S1. and 1907, $4,000. The bu-
fortyfour important industrial cities
representing thirty-three states.
Some Decreases Shown.
While the average figures show a
| great increase, nevertheless some OF
the articles show a decrease in 1914
compared with previous years.
Flour. for instance, was sd per cent
higher in 1909 than in 1914. Sugar
| which reached remarkably high
point, 1853 per cent. in August. 1914
was 80 per cent lower for the year
| 1914 than for the year 1911, and also
was lower for the year 1914 than for
! the years 1910 and 1912. All meats
were higher in 1914 than in any of the
seven preceding years.
The figures show that the highes,
| point during 1914 was reached in Sep
! tember. when the price OF all food was
II per cent higher than the average
| price for 1913, and the lowest poin1
| was reached in April, when the price
| was 3.5 per cent lower than the aver.

, and such articles as are affected by
seasonal changes, the highest price

or September.
