Mathematical Cubs Figures
May be Ambitious, But
City Has Big Sweet Tooth
BY THE CUB

Figures never lie. If so, the 10000
people Of Richmond are the posses.
sors of very sweet teeth, during the
Christmas season.
According to information furnished
by commission merchants and whole
sale groceries, about 100000 pounds
of nuts are sold in the two weeks be-
fore Christmas. This is 5 pounds to
each inhabitant. Over half this
amount is composed of English wal
nuts. the remainder being. divided.
Proprietors of wholesale candy COM
panies, retail groceries, confection-
cries, candy manufacturers and five
and ten cents stores, say that there is
enough candy purchased during the
Christmas to furnish every resident
with 10 pounds. Round figures places
the amount at 100000 pounds or $50
tons. This does not include the amount
purchased from mail order houses,
candy of home manufacture.
1t is estimated that each person in
Richmond consumes five pounds Of
oranges during the Christmas season.
The average amount of grapes, grape
fruits, dates, bananas and apples is
also estimated at pounds.
About 100000 pounds Of fruit is
slowed away by Richmondites. This
is equal to 10 pounds to each man,
woman and child, or $50 tons. This
amount would make a train of Z freight
cars.
Dealers also report that sales of
Christmas products is considerably
larger this year than last. The prices
are slightly higher on some articles
and cheaper on others.

Of January. Tho present price 10
$14.70 . barrel. A month ago It was
selling for .$13.70.
Bakers maintain that It 10 not their
fault for the increases but place the
blame upon the shoulders Of the buy
Ing public. The large Hour mills are
compelled to raise the price Of hour,
the railroads are asking higher freight
rates. sugar. lard, eggs. and in fact.
everything that Is connected with the
baking industry has advanced. The
bakers advance their prices and the
public buys without asking the why,
when or how.
Despite the advancing price of -four,
bakers were able to hold the price, "a
sugar was one commodity that had
not doubled in price. Now that sugar
has been taken from government con.
troll, it has jumped cents q pound,
and Is expected to take another cent
jump by the end of January.
1t Is predicted by one baker that the
pound loaf of bread will be retailing
for IL cents and the pound and q hall
will cost 10 cents. by the end OF
January.

BAKERS PRICES TO
GO, UP; MUST Be
DONE, THEY CLAIM

Another attack from the old H. c. L.
is about to be delivered upon the de-
fenseless people Of Richmond!
According to bakers. the present
high price of sugar and -four will
cause an advance in bread, cakes, pies.
cookies and pastries within the next
Is days.
Wholesale sugar dealers are asking
local bakers 20 cents a pound for cane
sugar which is about 8 cents q pound
more than the bakers were compelled
to pay when their last supply Of sugar
was purchased. Beet sugar is 1871
cents a pound, but cannot be bought
in large quantities. An unlimited
amount Of the high priced sugar can
be had.
Sugar cookies and cakes, requiring
much sugar, have ceased to be manu-
featured by one large baking concern.
These pastries require so much sugar
that it would be impossible to bake
them without substantial increase in
price.
"The wrapped cakes that retail in
Richmond groceries for Is cents each.
are bringing 20 cents in other cities
of Indiana" said this baker. THE
cookies that are on sale in Richmond
bakeries for IL cents a dozen, are
bringing Is and 10 cents in these same
cities. The one pound loaf of bread
that retails for 10 cents and the pound
and half loaf that sells for IS cents,
are now selling for IL and Is cents
in these same towns"
Judging from this, Richmond bakers
are withholding the attack Of the
H. c. L. until the last moment.
They will not be able to Withstand
the attack any later than Feb. /, as
statesmen for -four mills predict that
the better grade Of -four will sell for
$18 barrel, wholesale, by the end

TREAT INSANE LIKE BRUTES
Damascus Authorities Keep Men Of
Deranged Mind In Chains IN guh
View of Passers-By.

"Other sights and sounds. by nc
means so agreeable, meet the modern
traveller, and doubtless those who jour
neyed through Damascus in Pauls
time as WELL" writes DR.. Francis e.
Clark, founder of the Young Peoples
Society of Christian Endeavor. "Never
have i seen more hideous objects than
the insane men of Damascus. Some
of them, probably those who are par-
ticularly violent, are fastened with a
heavy chain to a ring In the will Of
some house or public building. There
they sit upon the sidewalk day and
night, covered, if at all, from the bills
tering rays of the sun or the dews of
evening, by a little awning Of burlap,
almost naked, gnashing their teeth, or
perhaps with a stupid, dull indiffer-
ence in their eyes, depending upon the
charity OF. the passers-by."
''The last spot we can visit" Doctor
Clark says in concluding the chapter,
sis the ancient wall through whose
windows it is said that Saint Paul es-
capped. Here is his brief account Of
this adventure: In Damascus, NE
governor, under Aretas the king, put
guards about the city of the Damascus,
thinking to arrest me, and through a
window, in a basket. was let down
by the wall and escaped his hands.
"We looked with interest and rever-
ence upon the ancient wall, which very
likely was standing in the apostles
time, and at the window, from which
it is possible, but by no means certain,
that he was lowered in a basket"
