PRICES CHEAPER IN COLUMBIA
Survey Shows FOOdstuffs Here Run 80
Cents Below the Average.

MANHATTAN, Kan, Aug. %
Foodstuffs bought at Columbia, Mo-,
on a given day by representative OF
Walter Burr, director of rural service
at the Kansas State Agricultural Col
lege here, were found to be 80 cents
lower than in the average town in
cluded in the survey.
The investigation was started by
Mr.. Burr after it was found that food
stuffs vary by little in price in Kan
sas towns of the relative size of Man
haitian. 1t was suggested by large
number of complaints of high prices
in Manhattan.
School superintendent appointed
by Mr.. Burr studied the situation and
gathered data. On given day his
representatives in various cities, in
cluding nine cities in Kansas and col
lege towns in Missouri, Colorado, Iowa
and Oklahoma, got quotations at each
place on standard bill of groceries
prepared at Mr.. Burr's suggestion by
a specialist in home economics at the
college here.
The average for all cities was
$3.50. The same bill of groceries was
priced at $3.50 at Columbia. The
highest was asked at Goodland, Kan
It was S1S4S. The only quotation be-
low that of Columbia was obtained at
Fort Collins, Colo, it being $15.SS. The
other quotations are: Manhattan

LONDON, Aug. 23.-British dry
forces, reinforced by the Anti-Saloon
League of America, are completing
their plans, and marshalling their
"sturmtruppen" for mighty offense
commencing this fall. And Johnny
Bull is sitting up and watching with
considerable interest, uncertain
whether he ought to be amused, scared
or angry.
Immediately the lid went on in the
United States, William E. C"Pussy-
foot'0 Johnson, field-marshal and
commander-in- of Americas dry
army, established branch G.H.Q. in
London, and proceeded to show local
prohibitionists just how to wage war
on booze. Hitherto, although there
had been an occasional prohibition
movement in Great Britain, the drys
had made very little headway, the
only really prominent man identified
with the movement being the late Sir
Wilfrid Lawson, who aroused contro-
versy some years back by emptying
his inherited wine-cellars down the
drains.
Prohibition was represented in Eng.
land by the United Kingdom Alliance,
but the organization was not well
equipped with funds, and was so ou
of date in its methods that the vets
ceased to regard its members as any
thing more dangerous than ''bun.
wallahs.' a strange sect who partici.
pated in orgies of tea-drinking and
bun consumption. But "Pussyfoot'
Johnson had changed all this.

Johnson established himself quietly
in Fleet street, the home of newspa-
pers and publicity, but so skilfully
were his opening moves made, that he
succeeded in avoiding attention for
some months. Then he disclosed him
self. 1t would be rash to suggest that
he captured the powerful Northcliffe
press, but it says much for his gener-
alshfp and tactics that he managed to
secure a magnificent advertisement
out of hostile organization.
Lord Northcliffe's papers discovered
his presence and taking up the role of
Dickens Fat Boy, the Daily Mail pro-
ceeded to make Johnny Bulls flesh
creep with lengthy stories of PUSSY
foots" aims, antecedents, methods and
chances of success. ]. Bull was
slightly amused, but as the whole
Northcliffe artillery-the Times,
Weekly Dispatch, Evening News, Daily
Mirror and others-ioined in the at
tack British vets began to realize that
they must get busy.
Defensive Planned.
A big defensive campaign was open
ed, and hair-raising stories of Amer
lean prohibition methods were pub
lished, stories of Machiavellian cum
ming, hysterical campaigning and Ma
poleonic victories. The vets fearful
| ly appealed to that much criticized
autocrat, the British Working Man, to
repudiate the sponsors of grape juice
and similar soft drinks with fantastic
names. They reminded him of his
war-cry Damn his eyes, whoever he
tries. to rob poor man of his beer.
And they succeeded in making Mr
British Working Man sit up and think
there might be something in it."
Meanwhile the much discussed
"Pussyfoot" Johnson, satisfied with
his first demonstration, had departed
for Finland to organize an offensive IL
/ Northern Europe, but he left prom
ise to return in the fall. The full
weight of the counter-offensive &C
cordingly fell upon the poor old Unit
ed Kingdom Alliance, which fright

support from American drys, never
theless wilted before the storm of pro
