Lost Theory Is Gaining
The detectives are skeptical about
the child being lost in the woods, but
the belief is gaining ground in the
neighborhood that this is exactly what
has happened. and that prolonged
search will have results. Mr.. Dansey
believes Billy was kidnapped in mistake
for little Charlie White, his playmate.
Mrs. Dansey, on the other hand, is
firmly convinced that he was picked up
The house by the roadside that har-
bored the child for a months time is
besieged all day long. Neighbors stop
in to inquire how things are getting

City Cuts Food Prices
At Navy Mans Request
100000 Margin Isn't Needed to
Handle Surplus Supplies at
Schools, He Points Out

and discussed the prices which the
city would have to guarantee and
which the public would have to pay.
1t was decided by the commander
that fve-cent margin on canned ba-
con was too large and would have to
be reduced to three cents. At the pub
lie schools, therefore, the twelve
pound tins of bacon will be sold, be-
instead Of %, making the new price

The prices of canned corn, peas and
stringless beans were reduced from
II cents a can to II cents at Com
mander Tricou's request. The canned
salmon price will be Is cents a pound
instead of &c. According to DR.. Day.

margin of profit on its sales of canned

price schedule, 100000 will be left to
the city to pay expenses.
Cans Of evaporated milk were to be
sold at Is cents, but have been reduced

seem to have been sufficient proof of
his republicanism, but a year after his
