Old Barbershop Scale Restored.

No longer can Jerome boast of pay ing more for tonsorial services than any city or town in the United States. The price of a shave slid back to 20 cents Saturday, haircuts dropped from 75 to 50 cents.
 Five days of experimenting con- vinced the barbers that they made a mistake when they advanced the scale of prices, so notices were posted in all the shops announcing that the old scale was again in effect.
 The only change from the old sched- ule is that a neck shave is now 10 cents extra instead of being thrown. in as "pelon" with shave.-Jerome News.
