BUT WASN'T HE MEAN?

Down in Oklahoma the other day
a man went into a store to buy q
saw. He saw the kind he wanted
and asked the price. 1t was $1.65
the dealer said.
Good gracious" said the man
can get the same thing from Sears
Roebuck & Co. for $1.35.'
That's less than it cost me-" said
the dealer, but I'll sell it on the
same terms as the mail order house

piled. mo charge accounts. You
can't do business with the mail or

The customer complied.
Now 2 cents for postage and )
cents for money order"

Certainly, you have to send a
letter and a money order to a mail

The customer inwardly raving
kept to his agreement and paid the

it saying. Now hand me that saw
and I'll take it home myself and be
rid of this foolery."
Hand it to you? Where do you
think you are? You're in Oklahoma
and I'm in Chicago. and you have
to wait week for that saw"
Whereupon he hung the saw on
a peg and put the money in his cash
drawer.
That makes $1.67." he said.

workingman about 16 per cent, ex-
pressed in terms of food his dollar
will buy. A .workingman who made
SO day in 1907, working ten hours
a day, in 1916 worked nine hours
and thirty-six minutes a day and
drew $3.4S for it; but it cost him
SALT to buy the same quantity of
food his SO would cover in 1907.
'The averages of food and of pay
qualified by reductions in hours
worked rose at about the same rate
from 1912 to 1915, so that during
that time wages would pay for
about chen quantities of food each
year. Actually, workers enjoyed
better conditions in 1915 than in
1912, because they had more and
steadier work But war losses got
into the equation in 1916 and push
ed up food prices faster than wages.
There were some crop shortages
also, which contributed their share.
Besides this, however, there is rea-
son to fear that other elements are
conspiring to raise prices.
Gold storage. rebilling, reship-
ping and withholding of commodi-
ties from market are suspected to
contribute to the present abnormal
rise in the prices of food. Whether
some persons have conspired, to en-
gross the markets the Department
Of Labor cannot state. But the re-
ports of the Bureau of Labor Stats
tics seem to lend some color to such
an opinion, viewed in the light Of
conditions revealed by a comparison
of figures through a range Of years"

FOOD BILL Of AVERAGE FAMILY
INCREASED $3.50 TO $425 PER YEAR

Washington, d. C.-The annual
food bill OF the average family has
grown from $339.30 in 1913 to
$425.54 at present, the Department
of labor stated in a review of food
prices. In the years the depart
ments experts estimate the advance
in the cost of food has so far out
stripped wage increases that the
workman who drew SO a day in
1907 now finds himself just 50
cents a day worse off.
The heaviest increase in food
prices during the last four years is
shown in potatoes, the cost of which
has risen from $1S.96 to $44.69.
Other large increases are in eggs.
from $33.O1 to s43.O7; flour, $15.12
to $25.4O; butter. $45.72 to $54.7S.
OF the whole list of foods only sir
loin and round steak are cheaper
than five years ago.
In the period from January Is to
February Is food prices took 4
per cent. jump. Onions led with a
II per cent. increase. Potatoes went
up 80 per cent. Eggs alone decreas-
ed in price.
II is estimated that If dollars
worth of food bought in 1907 weigh
ed ten pounds it would weigh today
a trifle more than seven pounds.
Despite the average increase of
10 per cent. in wages an hour in the
last ten years." says the Depart
ment's statement, "and despite cut
in hours worked Of per cent, the
rising cost of foods has operated to
reduce the pay of the American

essary, however, that there be some
emblem to indicate that the Presi-
dent is in the city.
President Wilson solved this prob
lem by deciding that the Presidents
flag should be raised over the White
House whenever he was in residence
and taken down whenever he was
outside of the White House grounds.
The flag of the President of the
United States is the Presidents nav
al flag, but it is little known o the
public. AS it flies above the White
House, it represents the great seal
of the United States, namely, an ca
gle displayed in proper colors, with
the olive branch in one talon, the
arrows in the other. and above its
head a glory in which appears thir-
teen stars. This is displayed on :
ground of red. the flag itself beinr
blue. The seal is inclosed, In ono
large fve-pointed white star, encir-
cled by a row Of forty-eight stars
representing the States in the Union

White House, and is in a straight
line with the staff of the United
States flag, which flies from the
peak of the White House proper

Practically a daily at the
