ing, promptly at ler o'clock, the high
cost of living was given chance to
fal down ano all that was lacking
was large sized crowd to help out.
While the carload OF army food
placed there for sale dwmdled some
what by noon, there are still many
cans OF corn, peas and tomatoes for
sale at prices much lower than those
quoted in the stores.
Canned beans soon disappeared
mainly due to the fact that there
were only 20 cases in the lot of
goods, which arrived. Tomatoes
seemed popular, though only about
one tenth of them have disappeared.
About one third of the peas have
been sold. About one fifth of the
corn has been sold. Later in the
week, bacon both sliced in cans and
whole will be sold. Corn beef and
roast Deet in cans will also arrive
about Saturday, was stated this
morning by the city committee in
charge.
Both Director z. F. Davis

No goods were delivered and all
were paid for cash. Most of the
goods this morning was carried
away in autos by well known citi-
zens, who came to take advantage of
the government food sale. One wom-
an from Monongah wanted part of
a case of goods and though it was
plenned mot ITO sell anything less
than case, she was given what she
desired. when a woman comes
