will be used: The points for team
will equal the maximum for the event
multiplied by the percentage of games
won and this divided by the percent
ages for all teams. Thus in baseball

the result would be obtained in this
manner: $40. maximum in baseball K

Mason City, Oct. 25.-Is it the high
cost of living or the high living cost,
that we hear so much, about today!
Economists have tried to figure it on.
that the high cost Of living has much
to Go with the seeming unrest in GER
tain parts of our country.
1t is interesting to delve into the adj
vertising columns of papers that were
published in this locality in the late
sos or early sos, for there is no safer
criterion than comparisons Whene II
comes to economic questions. Iowa
was comparatively new at that time,
especially northern Iowa, and railways
and transportation facilities were not
then what they are now.
Life was more simple. The demands
of society were then hardly known.
The cost of living was then regulated
by what person actually needed and
not by what he wanted. 1t was un-
usual to see lady dressed in silk or
satin. Deiaine, poplin, alpaca, were
looked upon as pretty and good, and
dry goods merchants sold these goods
over the counter for IS cents per yard.
Now goods similar to these can be
bought in any we'll regulated store for
80 cents and you need not wait for a
bargain counter sale either. Challies,
ladies' cloth, nankeen, etc. sold for
$1.75 per yard. Sheeting, cotton bat
ting, yard, sold for double what they
bring today.
Sugar Was High.
And then when good old Christmas
time rolled round raisins sold for 35
cents per pound, syrup at $3.50 per
gallon. and five pounds of sugar was all
that you could get for 81.
Sparkling your best girl came high.
Matches cost 10 cents per box and
kerosene oil so cents per gallon. This
is the reason so many were driven to
doing their sparkling with tallow dip.
or your best girls mother would see
that there was stock of candles on
hand that cost 25 cents per pound, and
when the candle burned low, it was
the signal to go"
A small sack Of table salt sold for
10 cents and II you wanted good
the rate Of $3.50 per pound for it.
Tobacco was a luxury. Tuxedo and
Bull Durham were not then known. but
you could buy the familiar brands of
those days for 81 per pound.
& Men wore boots in those days and
they paid all the way from $3.50 to
$50 per pair for them.
With prices prevailing as high as
this in those days--averaging at least
ss331per cent higher than n1Ws men
worked on the farm for from S16ito SIS
per month and when they could get
50 per day in the harvest field they
felt that right soon they would be mil
lionaTes. s' n
1t is the high living" that makes
the dollars move more rapidly now than
they did in those days.
