insidious ~selfishness. It is a voice
that lulls all else to sleep and puts
other sentiments out of commission.
1t is the sentiment of patriotism, love
of country, flag and nations veal and
is like the ardent love of children for
father or mother. Loyalty as strong
as death-that loyalty which puts
aside selfishness. It is a sentiment
that c1ings like deathless hope; a
sentiment that dies last and goes even
to the shores of eternity.

Relatives for sixteen ar ticles only are given, as actual prices and weights were available for only this number in 1913.

IN YEAR
 IN PRICE OF FOOD
Department of Labor's Blu reau Finds Rise in Cost Double That Estimated by Federal Food Admins tration.

In a statement issued a few days ago the Federal Food Administra- tion put the rise in the price of food during the last year at 3 1-2 per cent, estimated on the wholesale price basis. In a survey of food prices and the cost of living made by the Bureau of Statistics of the Unit ed States Department of Labor and to appear in the forthcoming issue of the Monthly Labor Review, the increase in, wholesale prices from Ju- ly, 1917, to July 1918 is placed at double that found by the Food Ad- ministration. The increase in the re- tail prices for the same period is re- ported to be Is per cent.
 The figures of the Department of Labor, further, do not show that the difference between wholesale and re- tail prices has been narrowed with in the last year.
 The wholesale prices on which the Department of Labor bases it's con- clusions were taken from trade jour nals or obtained from regular cor respondents. The retail prices were obtained direct from retailers in fif- ty cities to cover the entire coun- try. The retailers were selected by agents of the department as repre- sentative, and many of them have been acting in this capacity for years as part of the departments system of making monthly reports of varia- tions in food prices.
 Retail prices of food, as reported to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, for
 July, 1918, show, for all articles com bined, an increase of per cent. as compared with June 1918," says the departments report. '"The prices of
 several articles decreased. The five cuts of fresh beef show a decline of 1 per cent each. Of the other ar ticles which decreased in price, navy | beans were per cent. cheaper, and l lard lamb, and coffee decreased less | than five-tenths of per cent. each.
 Bread, flour, and cornmeal did not | change in price in the month.
 "A comparison of retail food prices | for July IS, 1918, with those for Ju- ly IS, 1917, shows, for all articles
 combined, an increase of 15 per cent. The greatest increases shown were l for fresh beef and hens. The cheap

 Ready for Circulation.

Although they are living up to their promises not to do any political oam- -paigning while the Fourth Liberty Loan drive is on, Democratic nemi- nees throughout Connecticut are do- ing just as much public speaking these days, as though they were promoting their own ends.
 Practically every man on the state, county, congressional and local tic kets is devottng a great part of his time to the task of advancing the sale of Liberty bonds, and the efforts of these candidates are bringing splendid results-as those who are in charge of the drive frankly ac- knowledge.
 As matter of fact, some of the candidates are making more speech es than they would ordinarily deliver for the furtherance of their owh in- terests, and in so doing arc compeIl- cd to sacrifice their business, treir comfort and even endanger tEeir health. They fail to consider these things, however, in their patriotic de- sire to ref4der whatever assistance is needed of them.
