then becomes a gold hunter in the
SHOWS of the north, with all the ease
he ever exhibited in riding
broncho. All his old time magnetism
IS aere and ne puts up one brief

says, show that while the cost of food
last year increased 25 per cent for the
entire country, wages rose only one
half or two-thirds of that rate.
The statement issued by the bureau
of labor statistics showing the in
creased living costs throughout the
United States for the year ending jan
uary 15 says:
Comparing January 15, 1918, with
January 10, 1917, the rate of food as a
whole increased % per cent. All ar
ticles show decided increases with the
exception of potatoes, which decreased
16 per cent. Cornmeal shows the
greatest price change, an increase of
n per cent. Bacon increased Cd per
