New potatoes are retailing in
Council Bluffs for from 81 to 4
cents a pound. In Omaha 5 cents
was generally quoted as the prevail
ing price. Round steak, which
Omaha meat men say is most in
demand, is priced at from IS to 81
cents pound in Omaha, while any
cut may be bought in the Iowa city
at so cents pound.
A large discrepancy in the price
of coffee and tea in the two cities
was found. Cheapest grades OF
coffee to be found in the larger
Omaha markets retails for not less
than SO cents, and more often at
rom 40 to As cents. A cheap grade
of coffee may be purchased in Coun-
Gil Bluffs for 20 cents, and one
merchant there is offering a 80 cent
coffee as his best brand. 1t is an
excellent coffee, he declares, and
cannot be purchased in Omaha for

A careful comparison of prices
fixed on essential food stuffs by
Greater Omaha and by Council
Bluffs retail merchants shows that
prices charged by Omaha mer-
chants are generally higher than
those of the Iowa city.
A list of 10 important foods was
selected to carry out this compari-
son. Three of the largest down
town retail grocery houses and a
number of suburban stores, includ-
ing two on the South Side were
asked to quote prices on each food
in the list. Representative retail
markets in Council Bluffs also
quoted prevailing prices on the
same articles.
Prices in Greater Omaha vary
comparatively little. Prices on -four,
coffee, new potatoes. meats, eggs
butter and cheese were found to be
somewhat lower in Council Bluffs
than in Omaha.
Selected eggs, guaranteed to be
fresh, are selling in large Omaha
retail markets for As cents. The
same grade can be bought in Coun-
Gil Bluffs for 40 cents. A good grade
of -four is selling in 40 pound sacks
across the river for So, and the very
best grade for $3.15. Here, 4S pound
sacks are selling at not less than

green goods sell in both cities with
some uniformity of price. Cane
sugar is quoted at 10 cents a pound
in most Council Bluffs stores, while
II cents, is the prevailing price
here.
Ice, not included in the list of IL
articles, but an essential neverthre-
less is selling at So cents for l0C
pounds in Council Bluffs. In Omaha
it brings 90 cents for 100 pounds
with 10 per cent discount when a
ticket is bought.
Uniformity Noticeable.
The uniformity of prices in down
town retail establishments in Oma-
ha and the very slight variance on
the part of suburban stores, was
very noticeable. One South Side
store, however, quoted lower prices
on several articles than were
quoted, even in Council Bluffs.
The proprietor of this place de-
clared that he was selling a good"
grade of -four at $275 for a 49,
pound sack, cane sugar at 10 cents
pound, very good" grade of
coffee for 20 cents a pound, new
potatoes at 81 cents pound,
strictly fresh eggs at 40 cents. an
excellent" tea at II cents, and
round steaks at 80 cents . pound.
Only a block distant was another
grocery and meat store which
quoted prices several cents higher
on each article mentioned by the
first grocer. These prices are only
slightly higher than the uniform
prices charged by other suburban
grocers, yet the store was nearly
vacant, while the other store with
its lower prices, was filled with
shoppers.

We hardly quake with the fear ex
pressed by the New England Homestead
that New England will be despoiled by
the development of its hydro electric
power and its transportation by high
tension wires to the Middle States,
Maryland and Virginia. Before it is
demonstrated that electric power can
be developed and conveyed such long
distances to compete with coal, New
Englanders will discover it is more
profitable TO use electricity at home
near the places it is developed While
it would be unfortunate for New Eng
land to have all the industry its cleo
trieity can drive developed outside its
borders, there is little probability of
its coming to pass. 1t has not been
demonstrated yet that electricity can
be produced cheap enough TO compete
with coal hauled from far distant mines
in heating homes in New England I'm
til it can meet the competition of coal
for heat here at home, it will not be
seriously demanded for power in dis
tant states

WAR ON BOLSHEVIs1M.

That congress realizes the necessity
of drastic action to suppress Bolshe-
,vism and other revolutionary fsms is
shown by the reintroduction of a bill
by Senator New of Indiana suppressing
Bolshevist activities. The bill makes
the display, exhibition or appearance of
a red flag, red banner, or red emblem
or a black flag, black banner or black
! emblem at private or public parades or
meetings or in conjunction with the
American flag illegal.
The advocacy by speech or writing
Of the overthrow by violence or any
! other unlawful means of the representa-
tive form Of governTent;- me publiea-
ton or distribution of any written or
printed matter advocating crime, vio-
lcnce or disorderly procedure as a means
of accomplishing the overthrow of the
constitutional government; and the or
ganization of any society whose object
is to advocate the overthrow of govern
mcnt by violence or unlawful means are
declared to be Illegal A penalty of a
fine Of $1,000, five years Imprisonment
or both is imposed for violation of any
sections of the law.
Evidently the author Of the bill
doubts the constitutional power of con
grcss to enact all these restraints because
this section is attached to the bill
''That if any section of this act is de-
clared to be unconstitutional or invalid.
such decision shall not be construed to
affect the constitutionality or validity
Of any other section or sections of this
act."
| 1t is hoped such law may be enact
ed and prove that the government has
the right to prohibit and restrain at
tacks upon it by the violent and de-
structiye elements that have caused so
much bloodshed and destruction Of in
nocent life in the past.

The silo, which is extensively manu-

the ban in many communities In fact,
prosecuting officers in some towns of
New York state have already prohibited
its use. 1t is feared that the juices re-
naming in the bottom of the silo will
be extensively used in lieu of whiskey.
There is no doubt about the kicking
power of the silo juices after they have
sufficiently fermented. 1t is doubtful.
