NO THOUGHT OF GRATITUDE
Hungry School Teacher Unfortunately
Had "cast Bread Upon the Wa

Two Hoosier teachers were travelling
through Canada the other day. They
had to take very early train. and as
result intended to eat breakfast in the
dining car. But there was no dining
car on the train. Hungrily they faced
the prospect Of a day Of fasting. for
they would not arrive at their destina-
ton until late afternoon. eve have

taking store of their possessions. "Wlll
you eat yours now or wait q while"
The second ate her cake then. trust
ing to luck to find station lunchroom.
But the first waited until noon and
until mother and two small children
hnd settled themselves In the seat op-
poslte the teachers.
Finally she took the cake Of choco-

then unwrapped 1t. But 10, the two
youngsters were against her knee. and
they. too, were looking at 1t with happy
anticipation. OF course It was divid-
ed between them.
Half an hour later the mother open
ed her grip and out came the family
lunch Of fried chicken, sandwiches. etc.
But not one bite did the generous
teacher get, "What was that about q
cup Of cold water7" she asked the
other teacher hintingly.
The woman with the full basket
stared at her coldly. Then she took
drinking cup from her grip and ex-

Who Benefits By
High Prices?

You feel that retail
meat prices are too high.
Al Your retailer says he
has to pay higher prices
to the packers.
Swift & Companyprove
that out of every dollar
the retailer pays to the
packers for meat, 2 cents
is for packers profit, 13
cents is for operating
expenses, and IS cents
goes to the stock raiser;
and that the prices of live
stock and meat move up
and down together.
The livestock raiser points
torising costs ofraising live stock.
Labor reminds us that higher
wages must 60 hand in hand
with the new cost of living.
No one, apparently, is
responsible. No one, apparently,
is benefited by higher prices and
higher income.
We are all living on a high
priced scale. One trouble is,
that the number Of dollars has
multiplied faster than the guam
tity of goods, so that each dollar
buys less than formerly.

Honey Dow melons are on the mar
ket now, priced at 80 cents each. and
the present supply probably will last
thru next week. For the family that
care especially for these melons this
will be good news for they usually sell
at so or 60 cents apiece. These melons
are grown in California and are con-
sidered more delicious than Rocky Ford
canteloupes. but are rather an uncom-
mon variety and not so well known In
this vicinity. The fruit Is shaped IKE
a watermelon. only much smaller, and
the rind Is yellowish green in color.
The taste Is like the canteloupe.
The season for ounces has Just ar
rived and they are now on the market.
The season lasts until Nov. Is but, as
the crop Is not so vary large this fall,
the local supply will not be very plen-
tiful and may not last that long. For
canning purposes the fruit Is very nice
and that now in the market Is Of extra
good quality. The price Is Is cents a
pound.
During the winter months supply
of pop corn Is q welcome addition 10
the family larder and 1t is not too ear
" now for the housewife to purchase
1t. Japanese Hulless is on the market
and Is considered by grocers as one OF
the best varieties. The ears are small
but the kernels grow close together
and pop fuller and more crisp than any
other kind. A large crop is grown in
the vicinity of Marshalltowu and else
where in the state.
Egg Plant and Cucumbers Appear.
In the vegetable market, egg plant
and hot house cucumbers add variety
for the housewives menu which is get
ting rather short of green stuff at this
time Of the season. Home grown Gu
cumbers have been a scarce article
for some time ard those on the mar
ket were poor but the hot house var
| iety, that is promised for Saturday, Is
fine. They are Of good size. Egg
plant, while not a commonly liked veg
| etable. should become more popular
| If for no other reason than that there
is so little waste in cooking. 1t Is cred

market Saturday and will be especial.
