The fact was shown when the reservoirs were drained in order to fll the A. B. tank.

FOOD PRICES SHOULD DROP BACK!

Grocers are charging 90 cents a
peck for potatoes, or'$2.40 a bushel.
The wholesale price of spuds Tues
day was between $3.50 and SITS per
busheI. A nice profit of about 80 per
cent is being made.
The situation is about the same,
but possibly with less effect on the
housewives pocketbooks, with other
vegetables. Sweet corn is getting
beyond the reach of a great many
homes, Last year at this time it was
selling at from 20 to so cents whole
sale per four-dozen sacks. This year
it is IS cents. Weather conditions
draw part blame for this, however.
All railroads have announced that
traffic is about back to normal.
Freight that was threatened with tie
up is moving along as usual. The
scare over a shortage Of provisions
for Chicago is removed. Yet the high
prices are not cut down.
Milk is up, ice is up, potatoes are
up, corn is up, meat is up, vegetables
in general are up, and housewives
are up-in the air.
