BOSTON BAKED BEANS ARE
NOW A RICH MANS Dish

AS an instance of high prices Of food
stuffs, Fred w. ShirlO, Sebawaing.
Mich, brings to the News office a
copy of the UniOnville Crescent, of
Unionville, Mich, containing an item
to the effect that one Harold Kramer
had brought to the elevator 2R
bushel bag of handpicked beans and
received for them a check for $15.63
Mr.. Kramer sold two bags of beans
from the machine for $2496. The item
states that as he has several bags of
these golden nuggets he is not worry
ing. When it is considered that these
beans ordinarily sell at the elevator
for from $3.50 to $500 per bushel. the
difference in price is very noticeable
Mr.. SkirlO says these beans, which are
the kind so highly priced in Boston,
are now bringing from $3.50 to $500
and $500 per bushel right along. This
sounds good for the man who has the
beans to sell but it is another story
to the poor man in the city who would
like to eat the beans.

The Hustlers emerged from the cell

that he will go still higher before
the season IL brought to a close.
Several changes have been made on
the club since 1t last performed in
Richmond. Arthur Devlin, former
New York Giant, Is covering third

Giants. has been added to the roster
Pie Way. one of the greatest mound

take the big end of the series from
the visitors.
Lefty Crabble will pich for Rich

in readiness to go in should he be
ineffective. Leverenz or Kirmayer
will do the hurting for the visitors.
