Monroe County Over

Monroe County at noon Thursday
had subscribed $39O000 in the Vic
tory loan campaign, an oversub
scription Of $500. This amount
will be increased TO some extent be
fore the campaign closes tomorrow,
but just how much it is impossible
to state at the present time. Only
a few of the school districts in the
county are not vet up with their
quotas and they will probably make
good today and Saturday. Monroe
City with quota of $4,000 has
subscribed $146,2OO, an over sub.
scription of $1,000. While we
were already oversubscribed before
the arrival of the war tank last Fri,
day, it helped to swell the total con
siderably, over $4,000 being taken
on that day.
The Eighth Federal Reserve Dis
trict, according to latest available
figures, is about 20 per cent short
Subscriptions to date amount to
$149,375,700. Missouri, according
to the same figures. has so far sub
scribed about &c per cent of the
state quota, However, the machin.
cry is all working tremendously
and there is no anxiety felt but that
the State and District will forge
forward and pass their quota before
the close of the campaign Saturday
night, which will close the fifth and
last of the series of popular sub
scriptions.

Harry S. Byrne Meets
Prominent Nebraskans
in Eastern Cities

Harry S. Byrne, returning from
three weeks vacation in the east,
says that he met many Nebraskans.
all of whom are recognized as lead
ers in their professions. He attend
ed the national convention of the
Kappa Sigma fraternity in Wash
,ngton at which Verne Hedge of
Lincoln was elected one Of the five
officers. Mr.. Hedge is the only Ne
braskan ever honored by election to
office in this organization.
He was returning with Governor
Lowden Of Illinois when he was
called back on account of race riots
in Chicago. During his stay in
New York Mr.. Byrne saw the NC-4.
the first airplane to cross the Allan
tic.
Among the Nebraskans whom he
visited were Miss Belle Story, lead
ing woman at the Hippodrome, who
was known in Omaha, where she
formerly lived, as Grace Leard.
Fred Ballard, formerly of Lincoln, is
now a successful New York play
wright. In Baltimore he visited
Walter B. Mccormick and Harvey
Y. Readinger, associated with a
large construction company. Both
formerly lived in Omaha, where Mr..
Mccormick was vice-president of
the Sheridan Coal company. While
in Washington he saw Glen Mason
of Lincoln, formerly a Nebraska
football star.

Cost of Necessities Here
Has Advanced so to 100
Per Cent in the Last Year
While Wartime Prices of Year Ago Were Exorbitant
and Several Hundred Per Cent Over Those Of
1914, Today's Quotations Are Startling in Com
parson - Retailers Wholesalers, Packers and
Producers "Pass Buck to Each Other.

The cost of the necessities of life
has advanced 50 to 100 per cent
during the last year.
And while the prices on practically
everything are from 50 to 100 per
cent over those of year ago. they
are from 200 to 500 per cent over
the pre-war lists of 1914.
A year ago, while the war was
still on, prices on foodstuffs were
about as high as people believed
they would go. But now, with the
war over and peace here again, the
cost of living has increased stead
lily, instead of dropping.
Shift the Blame.
The retail grocer and meat dealer
pass the buck" to the wholesaler,
the wholesaler to the packer, the
packer to the producer and the pro-
Queer to someone else. But Mr..
Common People blames them all
and foots the bill.
A trip through the grocery stores

boosted in the last year. Most
housewives know that without any
special trip. They meet it every
day. Frequently the prices 60 up
by jumps from one week to the
next. Just few weeks ago sugar
took jump of 3 cents and is now
selling at 12a cents pound.
Boost in Sugar.
Do you remember the dear old
days before the kaiser and his dream
of conquest? 1t was "l8 pounds of
best graduated sugar for 81" and
'2l pounds of best granulated sugar
'or 81 then" Now you get eight
pounds for the same sum.
And a year ago, with the war 60
ing on, sugar was selling at only
8 to 10 cents a pound, The reason
for this boost is that the government
recently took the restriction off Of
the price.
Flour is selling at substantially the
same price as it was year ago, 1925

GREAT TOURISTS
RUSH TO BLACK
HILLS THIS YEAR
Among Nebraskans Spending
Summer in South Dakota's
Mountains, is First Lady
of State.
BY ]. E. HANDLIN.

Stureis, S. D., Aug. 1.-The num-
Der Of tourists in the Black Hills Of
western South Dakota this year is
the largest in the history OF the
country---in fact, about double. From
Nebraska and Kansas there have
been hundreds of cars touring the
mountains and enjoying the cool
nights and beautiful scenery to be
found in every section of this worth
while playground. This is the first
visit OF a large per cent of these
people and they are practically all
enthusiastic about the climate and
the many places of beauty and won
der to be found in the Black Hills.
The wife of Nebraska's governor
has had a summer home built up in
the mountains near Mystic, beau-
tiful spot where cool breezes, la
dened with the fragrance of the
pines, makes this an ideal place for
the hot summer months. Many
Iowa people, who in the past years
have spent their vacations in the
northern part of Minnesota or Wis
consin lakes country. are here this
season and are more than pleased
with the numerous places of inter-
est to be found.
Many Visit Cave.
Thousands of tourists have al
ready visited the famous Crystal
cave near Piedmont this year and
many Of them have expressed the
opinion that it surpasses anything

Year Ago.

One year ago cheese retailed at 20
cents a pound and now the same
brands sell at As cents. Oatmeal
and all the products known as
breakfast foods have been pushed
up an even 80 1-3 per cent. That is,
those selling a year ago at 10 cents
a package are now retailed at IS
cents.
Crackers and cookies and the
cracker factory products have not
stopped at SO 1-3, but have gone up
to just double what they were. The
Scent package of one year ago sells
at 10 cents and the l0-cent package
at 20 cents.
Fresh Fruit Way Up.
Getting down to fresh fruit, last
year peaches at this season of the
year were retailing at SIPS a case.
The same brand now sells at $l.45,
while apples grown right here at
home, or over in western Iowa, are
sold at 81 a bushel in the grocery
stores. Last year they sold at $l,25
Last year eggs, strictly fresh, sold
at 40 cents a dozen, but now those
