MUNICIPAL RINK IN '
 FAIRLY GOOD SHAPE

These are red letter days for the Riddles. and while we are speaking of it the grown ups can also be mentioned. The municipal skating rink has been flooded and old King Boreas has done his duty by freez- ing it smooth. Afternoons and well into the nights the deYotees of the suor go round and round oV- CT tho rlnE and pleasure is theirs.
 The ice is not in as gooG condi- tion as might be wished, owing to fact that the rink has only been flooded once, as up to the present time tbe weather has been too mild for ice making, and while at the present time it is crisp and freezing, the wind has been strong and d second flooding would re suit in the formation of nipples" which sDol the ice surface. HOW ever, the custodian of the rink IS standing by with his hose connecteU up. and if the winds lays and the weathec remains below the freez- ing point. the water will be turned on and i' will only be a few hours when the ice will be perfectly wonderful" ana then the skaters wont want to go home"

How Birds Save Farmers Crops.

ElO" DITOS OdNe TaFTnSFS' CTOpS.
 A farmer who thought the robins were pulling up his young cabbages learned from student of bird life that the birds were pulling up only those plants which were dead; and this was to get at the wire worms at the root, which had caused the plants to die and which would destroy other cab- bages if left alone. In another case a group of farmers thought the meadow larks were destroying their crops. An Ornithologist persuaded one farmer to spare the larks on his place. The other farmers shot them. The result was that the man who spared the larks was the only one for miles around who had an oat crcY. The birds killed the insects which destroyed the other crops.

COST OF LIVING IS
STILL ADVANCING IS
BRADSTREET'S WORD
Average Based on 80 Staple
Commodities Now Stands
131 Per Cent Above Pre- War
Level; Surplus to be Sold.

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-The cost OF
living as based on 80 staple commodi-
ties advanced 1.3 per cent during the
last month and now stands at 131 per
cent above the pre-war level, or the
highest ever known, according to fig
ures made public today by Brad
streets.
Textiles, provisions and groceries
constitute the bulk of the commodi-
ties.
The basis of the computation is the
total wholesale price of pound of
each of the articles included. This
total was $20.17656 on December 1.
which was eight -tenths of 1 per cent
above the previous high level of Au-
gust last.
1t is an advance of 81 per cent over
December 1. 1918, three weeks after
the armistice was signed; IA per cent
over December /, 1917. and 131 per
cent over August 1, 1914.
There were increases from Novem-
ber / to December 1 last in 46 of the
commodities. Building materials
reached new high price levels Decem-
ber 1.
Price advances in England have
been much greater than those in the
close of November they were 2.S per
cent above those for the end of Oc-
tober, 12.4 per cent above those of a
year ago and 172 per cent above Au-
gust /, 1914.

ing Heavy Receipts.

Chicago, Dec. 23.-Corn advanced
in price today after a weak start
The depression at the outset was
due to a sharp break In hog values,
the result of an unusually big total
of hog receipts here. On the other
hard, active demand for rye and
wheat to go to France tended to
give strength to the corn market.
An advance in sterling exchange
was also a bullish factor. Opening
prices, which ranged from un-
changed figures to &c lower, with
January 1864. and May 1894 TO
1888, were followed by a slight
further sag and then by upturns all
around to well above yesterdays
finish.

lower to 14c advance, with January
1864 to 1853, and May 1882 to

selling pressure led to rallies in
the last part of the day.
Oats were firm owing to con-

WOODMEN DANCE
AT OPERA HOUSE
WELL ATTENDED

Inspired by the Jazz issuing
from Tony's band, over one hundred
couples twisted and glided over the
floor Of the opera house last night
IT'LL the wee small hours of the
morning." The Modern Woodmen
in their annual dance came up to
expectations and surpassed all
former attendance records for the
affair. Besides the dancers there
were many spectators who enjoyed
the party without moving from
their chairs
Waltzes of the dreamy sort, one
steps, not unlike the kind that
mother and dad used to dance, and
the new steps were enjoyed and
the music which inspired the dane
ers was of the sort that makes one
want to step out like the younger
ones. Mother and dad were much
in evidence as well as son and
daughter. All Aledo seemed to be
under the sway of Tony and his
Goth Century jazz band. The
terpsichorean enthusiasts seemed
to have injected the spirit of the
dance into those who were not so
enthusiastic, for before the dance
was over it was noticed that here
and there a couple would come
forth to waltz or fox-trot. who had
heretofore been known to deny
knowledge of the art.
