Old Sales Bills of Former keokuk
Firm Reveal Interesting Figures
@ Concerning Cost Of Living
in 1864 and 1871.

The following is taken from the
Sioux City Journal:
The cost OF living today is not as
high as in civil war times and in
1871, comparison of sales bills of
the William Tackaberry company
with that period shows. Bona fide
sales bills of the Tackaberry company
when it was located in Keokuk, and
S. Hamill & Co., an early Keokuk
wholesale grocery house, have been
located by the company officials and
show that, except for a few items the
cost of living now is much lower
than forty years ago.
An old sales bill, listing a quantity
of goods sold by Tackaberry & Co.,
of Keokuk, to J. A. Turner, Of Chero.
kee, on May 6, 1871, shows that food
products, especially canned goods,
can be bought much cheaper today.
A comparison follows:

forefathers who sought in this country
the opportunities which prosecution

in the motherland.
Today, whatever strains may mingle
in our veins, at whatever affairs we
may worship, we admit but one po-

not Germans, not English. not Scan
dinavians. We are Americans.
Not for a moment can we forget
the country that has given us birth,
on whose benign shores the oppressed
of all nations have found secure
refuge, under whose fostering and
watchful care we have lived as men
should live. free and untrammeled in
our rights to life, liberty, and the pur-
suit Of happiness. May our hands
fall paIsied to our recreant Sides and
our tongues cleave inarticulate TO our
traitorous palates. If in our regard
for any other nation under heaven,
we slacken even in our most secret
thoughts, i'm our love and our devo-

endowed us with civic blessings be-

Just then the wiry foreigner gave a
start, jump. He ran forward, his
eyes fixed on an automobile that had
come up to the wharf And then my
own glance was riveted upon the ma
chine as well. The chauffeur had
evidently just learned that they were
three minutes too late for the steam
er. His passengers looked soreIy
disturbed. They were two; a tall
dark man with great mustachios and
a SCARED warrior-like face, and a
young lady.
This was Miss Geraldine Farrar,
and l knew her at a glance. There
was change in her manner since l
had last seen her, and in her face as
well, as compared with the photo
graph Marvel carried in his pocket.
Her eyes expressed animation, her
whole pose was one of energy Her
face was deliciously flushed with ex-
element. She spoke rapidly to her
dignified escort, and then to the chauf-
feur. The latter received some hur-
ried instructions. He seized the
wheel and at once the machine sped
away from the wharf.
The wiry foreigner who had seem
ingly been watching for just this ar
rival ran forward, looked about for
another auto, found none for hire, and
sped on the trail of the speeding ma
chine at gait worthy of crack pro-
