Retailers say there are hundreds and
hundreds Of misses. and quite few

and foodstuffs In order TO raise the
prices Of these commodities. Same old

Again. to hark back to good Cansn
Harrison. "pesteriferous purveyors buy
W eggs, chickens, bacon. etc; butter
men travel about and buy up butter At

things are Ill for the buyer and the
poor man, and should not he allowed.
