CIVIL WAR PRICES AND ropAY's

E'OR MANY YEARS it was the habit of
L elderly persons to bark back to the ter
rible high pirces" of the civil war period and
the years Immediately following. We don't
hear so much of that talk now. And there's
reason. Today we find in The Oklahoman
this question and answer:
@. What were the prices Of some of
the staples year or more after the close
of the civil war? w. T.
A. The cost Of staples was extremely
high during the four years of the war, and
decline in prices began to set in in 1866
and 1867. The following are the prices
of staples which prevailed in 1867: Coal,
$3.50 per ton; flour, $11.25 per barrel;
sugar, IA cents per pound; butter, 46
cents per pound; fresh beef, 1872 cents
per pound; eggs, AZ cents per dozen.
According to the figures of The Oklaho-
man, coal was $3.50 ton two years after the
close of the civil war. Today, one year after
the cessation Of hostlities abroad coal is that
higher, and still going up. Some forecasters
talk about sixteen-dolar coal in the near future.
Flour we learn, was SIPS per barrel in
1867. Today, as we learn through inquiry
from an Ardmore retailer, flour sells here at
Sugar in 1867 was IA cents pound. Ard
more people are paying as high as Is cents a
pound now, and the news dispatches state that
sugar throughout the country probably will
90 up to II to 10 cents shortly.
Butter was 46 cents pound in 1867. Yes
terday in Ardmore we paid rs cents for a
pound of butter at certain store. AT other
stores, we understand, the price was higher.
Fresh beef in 1867 was l2 cents pound.
Kindly permit us to refrain from mentioning
present-day beef prices The topic is too
painful.
Eggs were ~ cents a dozen in 1867. You
can buy eggs in the Ardmore market today at
/ 65 cents up but you can't depend upon the
quality Last week our folks bought half a
dozen eggs for 35 cents and found four OF
them rotten Eggs, therefore, were II y cents
apiece in that case.
Bacon-well, The Okahoman doesn't men
ton bacon, but probably it was something like
10 cents pound in those after-war days. Az
to present company, we quit thinking in terms
of bacon some months ago.

SWELL SALARY, HI Ugh
EXPENSE, MAY KNOCK
OUT COUNTY A GENT

Unless some provision is made to pay
a county agent more in the future than
he has been drawing i'm the past, the
chances are that Carter county will
be without the service Of this very
essential officer during the next year.
Carl Russell rendered his resignation
as such agent recently and the resig-
nation was accepted by District Agent
Cuilermau. of saltwater.
Mr.. Callcrman was here recently
and had a talk with Mr.. Hunter. of JEFF
ferson county, relative To taking the
place, but it seems that the deal has
come to naught and the county at pres
ent is without the services of an agent
MIR. Russell states that Carter coun-
ty has come through handsomely with
its part of the contract. The county
pays $40 per month Of the salary and
to this is added $40 per month from
state and federal aid.
Mr.. Russell contends that this is not
sufficient. The agent has to furnish
his own car and pay his own expenses
out of this salary and, he says that
had it not been for other sources Of
revenue hc would have been broke
while he had the job.
The upkccp Of a car and travelling
expenses oyer the county for the
month viii eat up the entire salary
and there is nothing left for the agent
to add to his personal account. For
that reason Mr. Russell thinks that
unless something is done there will be
no agent IN Carter county in 1920. If
an agent could be appointed for this
county who lived here and had his own
/ farm, things might be different, but as
an agent must be appointed from an
other county, the expenses eat up the
salary rapidly and, besides, there are
too many jobs open for men with suf
| ficient intelligence to act as farm
agent at much better pay than is of
| fered for such men to consider a pro.
| position from the district agent at

The Whole Secret Of
A Better Tire
Simply a Matter of the Makers Policies
Better

To ascertain what each maker
offers one must analyze and test
some 200 tires-as our laboratories
have done.
Then it is a matter Of combining
the best features and building ac-
cording to the highest standards.
Once you try a Brunswick you
will understand how we have built
model tires, regardless Of factory
expense.
Yet Brunswick Tires cost you the
same as other ike-type tires. Our
saving is on selling cost, through
our nationwide organization.
We realize that you expect more
from Brunswicks, and we assure
you that you get it. ONE Bruns-
wick will tell you the story.
And then you'll want ALL
Brunswicks. No other tire, you'll
agree, gives SO much for your
money.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1919-11-26

This you will realize -o once you
try Brunswick-that a super-tlre
is possible only when the name
certihes that the maker is follow
ing the highest standards.
For tire making is chiefly a mat
ter Of standards and policies--cost
plus care. Any maker can build a
good tire if he cares to pay per-
fection's price.
All men know Brunswick stand
ards, for Brunswick products have
been famous for "a years.
Formulas, fabrics and standards
vary vastly in cost. Reinforce
ments, plies and thickness are
matter of expense. And these vari-
ations affect endurance. It rests
with the maker how far he wishes
to go-how much he can afford
to give.
For there are no secrets. nor pat
ents to hold one back.

 The order of the parade will be as follows:
 Returned soldiers and sailors; Native band; Redmen; school children; floats.
 The parade will proceed on Church street to the Episcopal Church, turning down into Front street and marching west as far as the cannery, and from thence back to the school house, where the patriotic exercises, including a speech by the Governor, will take place.
 A speakers stand has been erected on the school house steps, and another under the play shed which may be used in case shelter is necessary.
 All school children are urged to be at the school grounds at 9.30 sharp in order to participate in the parade. Parents will please give this special attention.
 All returned soldiers and sail ors, whether from Wrangell or not, are urged to be at the school grounds by 9::30 Friday morning to take part in the parade.

Hazel B No. 4
 Makes Initial
 Voyage Up River

The Hazel B made her maiden voyage up the Stikine last week. Among the passengers were Mrs. Charles Binkley, Misses Rather inc and Margaret Bronson, and Mr. and Mir. RolIa Shangle.
 The river Icing unusually high, the boat did not have opportunity to show the speed she can make under normal conditions, but she showed clearly to ice owners, the Burlington Transportation con- ranY, that sae was going to be practical and thoroughly satisfac- tory for ,he river traffic.
 The desica of the boat was work ed out by Captain Charles NJ. Binkley, who was in charge of the construction. It is 65 feet in length with a 16-foot beam and is equipped with a 6-cylinder Wisconsin loo h. D. engine. The hull is buiit Of fir, while the house is constructed of spruce and cedar. One of the chief aims in its con. struction Was Hghtness. The boards that were used for the walls of the staterooms are only five-sixteenths Of an inch in thickness, b.. the bracing is so well distributed as to give all needed strength.
 The Hazel E 4, like the Hazel B 3, reflects in every part of her construction the genius and skill of Captain BinAley, who has revoiutionizel l the designs of river boats.
 The new boat possesses the quality of springiness, being con. structed so that the bottom will bend up and down with the stream to a certain extent, thereby giv- ing tremendous advantage over boats posseasing more rigidity. Tine boat was built in such a way that this srringing of the hull will not cause the house to become insecure, the quality of elasticity being maintained throughout in it's construction.
 The Hazel B 1 will soon have some more fig game hunters as passengers, a number of parties having made reservations with Captain Sid Darlington.
