Why Are Oysters So Hight

| DrlSnL correspondent puts Lni5-
ask Clarence Wilson why II is
that any person may go down to the
fish and oyster wharves and buy
oysters from the boatmen at 20 cents
| to 81 bushel, very little above the
prices Of past years-and yet the
retail price has Jumped almost 200
per cent?
From a bushel of oysters you can
shuck nearly one gallon. worth, az
retail prices. $3.50 to $500"
bought by the bushel at prices named
by the correspondent. and II every
man would go there, buy and shuck
his own oysters he would save
money.
Municipal FISH market officials
state that oyster shuckers now
charge from IS cents to so cents a
bushel for shocking. This would
make the top cost Of the best oysters
about S1.40 per bushel, from which
is obtained close to four quarts.
Wholesale prices at the market
are $1.75 per gallon for oysters, or
so cents q quart retail.
The matter does seem one that
Mr.. Wilson could handle to the real
benefit Of many people.

"A short time before John Wilkes
Booth killed Lincoln l rode along

Mr.. Buckley.
This active, lively Washingtonian
declares that the famous Barbara
Fritchie incident at Frederick, Md.
never happened. II was there that
day, knew Stonewall Jackson well,
saw him passing through the town
with his soldiers, and was most of
the day close to Barbara Fritchie's
home. neither saw her wave a

it, as would have done had the in

JOHN J. B. propels a large kick
over traffic signs that leave the "w"
out of "slow." This combination of
simplified spelling conveys little
meaning, he thinks, to the man who
never studied new styles. Adding
the "w'' might be extravagant, but
would not take much more paint,
