terest in affairs, besides that of cook
ing for the lords of creation. At the
meeting held this morning at the court
house for the consideration of the

no talking, it was evident they were
as deeply interested as the men.

This is hard luck story for the good
housekeepers.. Butter is now retailing
at 80 cents a pound and it will require
a pretty long memory for any house
keeper to look back to the time when
such an unheard of price was asked for

thereof may be found in Portland where
butter dealers suddenly found their sup.
plies short and the price was jumped
three cents Wholesale over night.
