PRESENT PRICES MUCH
LOWER THAN In 1862
People Kicking on High Prices
Should Compare With Civil
War Times

Some one has dug up an invoice of
a bill of goods sold by a firm of
wholesale grocers at Keokuk. Ia, in
June, 1862, showing that sugar was
$58 per barrel and rice $38, while
tea sold at SOL for a 25-chest, coffee
was four times the present price, and
the same bill of groceries which then
brought SCALA could be purchased
today for $291.61. Those were the
days of the civil war, which accounts
for the high prices. Now when the
people kick over paying 9 or 10 cents
a pound for sugar and moderate
sums for tea and coffee they may
find consolation in knowing that
their grandparents were in much
worse plight. Compared with most
of the world, the U. S. is standing the
stress and strain of the present war
with comparatively little discomfort.

THE BLUE-BOTTLE BOOBIES

instead of unnerving England this only aroused her the more thoroughly to fight, those bombs have kept on dropping on England now for more than three years. And though the policy of 'frightful- ness" which was expected to awe the world into nonresistance of German az gression, provoked the greater part of the world, including the United States, into declaring war against the az
 gressors, the policy of "frightfulness'' is still continued as perseveringly as ever.
 It seems that once an idea has lodged in the brains of the German general staff nothing can budge it or modify it. SO, despite the utter failure of the bombing of London, when the great drive against France was arranged it was decided that master stroke of it was to be the bombardment of Paris from a gun hid den out in the woods somewhere, 70 miles away. Much ingenuity. much time and much money. were expended In making and planting this gun, and many thou sands of dollars were burned up every time 1t has been fired. But it was made and planted and fired; and although after
