ANOTHER LOAD ADDED
TO FATHERS BURDEN
With Everything Else Soaring
in Ethereal Realms in Price,
His Eating" and Smoking
Tobacco Cost to Raise.

Now that butter and eggs have TAX
en- a drop in price, something else had
to go upward in cost just to add more
gloom to these dark days, and now it.
is tobacco-man's delight and the in
nocent subject of many lectures by
mother and wife.
According to prominent wholesalers,
cigars, cigarettes and chewing tobacco
of all kinds will take an upward jump
in a week or ten days, and it behooves
those who smoke or chew to lay in a
supply at the present prices.
Some chewing tobacco will jump
from 60 to 70 cents pound; others
from ~ to 80 cents and 80 to 80 cents
a pound. Cigars will raise In price
81, IS and s12, factory, per thousand.
Cigars costing sos thousand now,
wholesale. will cost from SIP to s120
a thousand later. Cigarettes will take
little hop upward of from So to IS
cents a thousand, and the old, familiar
Camels--the source of many a dream"
of yachts and racing cars-will cost
Mr. Ulti Mate Consumer pretty close
to 20 cents a package. in single or
carton lots.
The cause for the increase in price
Is the new revenue tax on cigars, Gig
arettes and chewing tobacco, and the
high cost of labor. The manufacturers
of tobaccos have had to raise wages
enormously since the war began; the
cigar makers in Tampa asking and
getting May l, 20 per cent raise;
getting another raise of 20 per cent
on July 1, and asking still another
raise In wages of 20 per cent on Oc-
tober /.
How long the high prices on the
staples of life" will stay up, nobody
knows, though everybody cares for a
man has to get little enjoyment out
of life by having his eating" or smok-
ing tobacco regularly in spite of the
fact that they are not good for him."

however, had ever been convicted OF a
felony or was in the penitentiary, which
caused the house to laugh.
The main contention of the Bonne-
Vile delegation as brought out IN tho
debate was that the residents In tue
territory it was proposed to annex
wanted to go into Bonneville county,
being nearer Idaho Falls as a county
seat than Blackfoot; that IL the annex
alton took place the road to Gray's
lake would be improved by Bonneville
county, something that Bingham coun-
ty had not done. The Bingham county
delegation held that Bonneville wanted
a rich slice of Bingham county and
that the proposal was unfair and I'M
just. Representative Robins created
considerable amusement by pacing
about the floor of the chambers until
he was requested by the speaker to
take his seat.
