FIGURES SHOW BIG
INCREASE IN FOOD
PRICES LAST YEAR
Local and Seasonal COndi-
tions Played Part Along
With War-Prunes Only
Food to Decline

Prunes, presumably for the reason that
nobody will put them down. have not
gone up.
But the other foodstuffs have advanced
in manner that is unprecedented, ac-
cordlng to figures that have been COM
piled by the bureau of labor statistics.
Though there has been general upward
trend in the prices of all commodities
during the past few years. the rise IN
1915 and 1916 has been striking. Investi-
cations of prices in A states have shown
that prunes, the perennial dish of the
boarding house table, is the only one OF
% principal food commodities that may
be purchased at a lower figure rnan a
year ago.
The war, cited with so much eclat as
the cause of all internal ills. is assigned
as the principal cause of the advances,
but there are others. The unusual de-
mand for American foodstuffs to sustain
the armies of Europe and those of the
Mexican punitive expedition is naturally
given first rank in the list of pretexts
Speculation in the grain and meat mar
kets is also held to have aided in the
upward rise

At the Bijou

In producing the new play. while
the City Sleeps written by Edward
e. Rose, author of "The Rosary and
which is being shown at the Bijou this
week, Rowland and Clifford aim to
show the night life of a great city
and it's relations to those men who dur
ing the hours of darkness guard the
safety of it's inhabitants.
There has been much said about the
crooks, those evil birds who prey at
night upon the hard working men and
women of the great civic centers; these
menaces of society have been exploit
ed often with a romantic atmosphere
of mystery and glamor. sympathy has
been asked for them and has been OBJ
tanned while the men who give their
lives, their best efforts and their
strength to protect society from them
have usually been portrayed as the
villains of the story, grinding down
and browbeating their less fortunate
brothers
That this is a false view anyone
who has been closely connected with
the workings of the law and order
forces is aware and in "While the
City Sleeps" the author shows this
side Of city life and proves that crime
is crime; that breaking the law mem
aces every man and woman in the
community; that those whose duty it
Is to guard US while we sleep are de-
serving of high praise and the support
of every citizen.

ROADS AS AN ISSUE IN THE
new MEXICO CAMPAIGN
BY DR.. s. M. johnson.

DR.. s. M. Johnson is known
for his advocacy of better roads
and for the wide publicity his
writings and addresses have
given New Mexico in the older
South and in the East.
The first eighteen years Of
his public life we're spent in the
ministry of the Presbyterian
church, in %pastorates of increas-
ing Importance in Iowa, in Den
e and in Chicago. Fourteen
years ago a nervous breakdown
caused him to seek an outdoor
life.
After seven years in North
Carolina he came to New Mex
leo, settling on a ranch In Lin
coin county, at Ruidoso, where
he still resides. He has been in
close working relation with Ros-
we'll, whose business men have
been solidly behind him in his
work for roads.
DR.. Johnson won for himself a
national reputation through the
impetus he gave the Good Roads
Bill in Congress, and in particu-
lar the provision of a million dol
lars a year for ten years for
roads on national forests.
