c. w. Green, an old time printer,
now representing the Great Western
Smelling and Refining Company, was
in town yesterday selling linotype
metal to the newspaper offices. Mr..
Green says the price of all metals
and especially tin, have advanced
since Wilson was elected, thereby
adding to the already high cost of
living for the consumers. Wilson's
victory at the polls has been inter-
preted as a friendly move for the AL
lies, and they are disposed to con-
tinue the war with renewed vigor,
and this has brought a stronger de-
mand for metals on the London mar.

the price it sold for three years ago.
