Several days ago Craft noticed that

He pumped from his well. This con-
sfnued Tor three days. At first he
thought that some one with grudge

Ne decided that perhaps oil was leak

az crude oil were found in the river
and no engine using crude oil could
be found in the vicinity.
Yesterday he pumped all the water
from the well and descended to inves-

FLOUR AGAIN GOING
70 HIGHER LEVELS
Potatoes and Sugar Also Advancing
and Retailers Complain Of Greater
Wholesale Cost Of Other commodi.
ties-Fresh Eggs Hard 70 Get and
Pasture Shortage Affecting Butter.

Council Bluffs. Aug. 25.-People who
are dieting to reduce their weight are
about the only folks who can beat the
high cost Of living in the slightest de-
gree these days. The advance in the
price of flour. sugar and potatoes
leaves them undisturbed. and the ex-
pensiveness Of canned baked beans
doesn't sadden them a moment.
The average householder. however,
Is somewhat perturbed at the steady
advance in the price Of food 'commodi-
ties, especially when it hits not alonne
seasonable products. but the staple
lines as well, without which no estab-
lishment can pretend to run.
Flour, which has been going up dur
ing the past few weeks Of an erratic
wheat market. has reached the price Of
$3.50 for the forty eight pound sack, an
advance Of 10 cents during only a few
days.
Potatoes have advanced to s1.2o a
bushel, in large quantities. altho re-
tailers who have a large supply on
hand are continuing OF sell them at the
lower price. Both flour and potatoe
however, are expected to advance In
price. popular grades OF flour selling
now for prices higher than have been
asked within the memory of most re-
tailers.
Sugar Is Taking Wings.
Sugar is even higher than it was
during the preserving season last year,
the wholesale price of cane sugar av-
eragng s7.S5 per hundred pounds. Last
season it was $3.50 to Sc per hundred.
Dealers have also received notice
from syrup manufacturers that an ad-
vance in that product will come soon
err or later. 1t seems that in the SOUTH
ern states where cane is grown extern
sively new industry has developed i'll
the manufacture of cheap alcohol for
munition purposes and for explosives.
Cheaper grades of molasses have al
ready advanced in price.
- Baked beans and sardineS are rapid
ly getting into the luxury class. For
and varieties which formerly retailed
at two for % cents. are selling at
wholesale for is cents each.
Butter and Eggs Also.
Fresh eggs are hard to get, and ths
scarcity OF paSturage IS given as the
reason for the latest advance in the
price of butter.
Retailers declare that they are being
hard hit by the continued advance OF
food stuffs. There are numerous small
advances on articles which are sold
thruout the country at an advertised
price, where an increase to the GUS
toner is impracticable.
One bit of cheer is offered to the
harassed householder homegrown
cantaloupes are selling for cents each.
And they are better than they have
been for years. the dry weather having
been greatly in their favor. With an
iced cantaloupe for breakfast the day
can at least begin pleasantly and in
extensively, no matter what shocks
and surprises the marketer encounters
before the luncheon and dinner are ar
ranged.
