BIG DROP IN FOOD
PRICES IN ST. LOUIS

A survey of food prices in st. Louis
today disclosed that within the last
few weeks prices have dropped from
S to 100 per cent. All staples, with
the exception of fruit, may be pur-
chased at prices materially lower than
two weeks ago. Fruit shows sharp
advance in price.
The combination of peace and warm
weather throughout the past month
is responsible for the drop in prices.
Commission men are predicting a con-
tinued decline in prices.
Eggs and butter, especially eggs,
show the sharpest decline. AS one
commission man said, "the bottom
has fallen out of both markets" Eggs,
in two weeks, have decreased 100 per
cent in price. Butter is much cheaper,
but with the coming of colder weather
the price was boosted 5 cents today.
Meats, cheese, kraut, potatoes, on
ions and other vegetables show a big
drop in price. Flour is down few
cents.
Eggs 81 Cents Wholesale
Fifteen days ago the wholesale
price of eggs was 65 cents dozen.

PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES

The boys of Washington School are
rejoicing over the gift of an "Official"
Spalding football presented them by
Mr.. Harry Rider, son of Mrs. Alma
Rider, primary teacher in that ward.
The ball is beauty and will furnish
entertainment for the boys for many
months.
Teachers in all departments have
submitted reports on the progress Of
their different classes. The results
indicated are very gratifying and show
that satisfactory years work will be
completed in all subjects. There is an
excellent school spirit evident among
both parents and pupils, and class
work has never been more satisfac-
tory.
A circular letter from State Super
intendent of Public Schools Sam A.
Baker contains the following suggcs-
tionS:
"1st. The Attorney General of Mis-
souri, holds that teacher is entitled
to full pay for the time school is
closed on account of contagious dis
eases existing in the district.
-Liu' hS hidIISi VI uldhlHB up IllIle
should be determined by agreement
between teacher and board. The time
lost need not be made up.
3rd. Attendance, of course, can be
counted only on such days as school
is actually in session.
18th. Naturally the school work has
been disorganized where school has
been dismissed for any length of
time. Eliminate non-essentials and go
right on as though the school had
been in session as usual.
18th. No school will lose it's class
ification by reason of time lost on ac-
count of the epidemic.
18th. Children should be promoted or
graduated, as the case may be, regard
less of the time the school has lost"
The Superintendent's instructions
helped materially to clear up the sit
uation in every community that closed
school on account of the influenza,
and places all such schools on COM
mon basis.
The pupils in the Pennington
schools between the ages Of five years
and sixteen years are being organized
into groups Of Modern Health Crusad-
ers. This work is under the direc-
tion of the Junior Red Cross and prom
ises to have wonderful effect upon
the health habits of the children. The
cooperation of all parents in assist
ing the children to carry out their
simple "Health Chores" each day is
sincerely solicited.
The local companies of the U. S. S.
G. will begin active services at once.

AL other vegetables also are lower.
A few weeks ago, Ben Davis ap-
pies sold for $5 barrel. Today the
same apples are selling at $3.50.
Oranges and grapefruit also show
sharp ADVANCES. The overseas de-
mand for fruit Is said by commission
men to be responsible.
A standard cheese which sold for
40 cents pound wholesale two weeks
ago now sells for 30 cents. Nearly
all varieties of cheese show decreases
of 10 cents pound.
Sauerkraut, alias "liberty cabbage,
two weeks ago sold for $15 a barrel
Kraut is offered at So barrel today.
Meat Prices Down
Meat prices also are down. Medium
beef is quoted at Ia cents a pound as
compared to price of 18 cents. Pork
loins are quoted at 26 cents a pound,
wholesale, and pork shoulders at %
cents. The high price for loins this
winter was 81 cents and that for
shoulder 27 cents. Bacon averages a
decrease Of 6 cents pound and ham
cents.
Flour now sells at $10.75 a barrel
(196 pounds) showing a slight de-
crease. The highest price for -four in
1918 was $12.70 last April. No ma
terial decrease is anticipated in the
near future because of the govern
ment guaranteed price for wheat.
Millers pointed out today that Argen-
tine flour sells in Europe at Sc bar

A Successful
Mule Sale

The auction sale in Pennington Sat-
urday of forty-nine mules, by the Fed
eral Lead Co., proved to be great
occasion, drawing many mule buy
ers from distance, as well as many
farmers and other citizens from all
parts Of the county, who had desire
to take "look in" on the sale, and
possibly make one or more purchases
themselves.
The sale was personally conducted
by Parkhurst Sleeth, who is General
Superintendent of the Federal Lead
Co. in the local field. Judge Thos. B.
Straughan, the popular Ste. Genevieve
auctioneer, was the leading salesman.
He was ably assisted by our own
townsman, ]. C. Watson, who gave a
practical demonstration Of his knowl-
edge of the auctioneering game. He
did large part of the actual "cry-
ing", and the manner in which he
talked. to the bidders making all feel
good and like raising the bid, showed
that he was an adept in the true art
of "crying SALE" But the best part
of it was that "Sunny JIM, as he is
IdHsiiaIiy cdileu, dppeareu W Bet
much real pleasure out of the expe-
rience, which is like real labor for
many. ~ '.r. w
The sunshine that was injected into
the sale by Sunny Jim" resulted in
most Of the animals being bid in at an
exceptionally good figure; and yet all
were pleased with their purchases.
The bidding was lively throughout. 1t
could not have been otherwise, with
such an Industrious auctioneer. The
mules sold had been used for under
ground work in the Federal mines, and
many bore signs of rough usage,
while there were many others in ap-
parently prime condition. But the
bidders were quick to recognize the
merits, as well as the demerits, of all
the animals they bid on, so that all
were satisfied that each buy was worth
the money. But, on the whole, it was
an exceptionally successful sale for
the Federal Lead Co., due largely to
proper management.

WORK OF u. ID. c.

Mrs. Robert Bacon, of New York,
chairman of American Military Hos
pital No. l, Neully, France, writes
the following to the President Gen
eral of United Daughters Confedera-
cy:
"The United Daughters of the Con-
federacy have, more than any other
organization, made it possible for the
hospital to carry on its magnificent
work, and l feel that any thanks, or
show of appreciation, that l, as chair
man of the American Committee,
could send to you, would be very in
adequate expression of the gratitude
that has been felt abroad for your
remarkable services. The famous
names that have marked your beds,
and the wonderful sympathy the Sou
thern States have shown the many
heroic men whom they have cared for,
will always remain indelibly Impress
ed on the memories of every one who
has watched over the hospital with
such tender care through these four
and half long and painful years.
Your indefatigable efforts in the be-
half of the American Military Hospi-
tai No. l, Neuilly, have called forth
the greatest admiration from every
one, but / hope you feel, with us,
just pride in having the Daughters of
the Confederacy connected with an
organization that has made such a
marvellous name for itself during the
war, and has shown throughout these
years of suffering such a noble spirit
of self-sacrifce and of deep devotion"
The U. d. c. has donated and main
tanned seventy beds in this Hospital,
ct q cost of $4,000.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC

1t has been demonstrated, beyond a
doubt, by chemical analysis in a good
ly number of cases, that the cider sold
in this county contains alcohol, and
hence is an intoxicating liquor, and its
sale is unlawful in this county.
Therefore, all persons selling cider
had better quit while quitting is easy,
for if | can get the evidence, | will
prosecute the seller to the full extent
of the law.
All persons operating or keeping
in his or her possession, or in build
ing under his or her control, any slot
machine or punch board is guilty of
a violation of the law, for which he
or she will be prosecuted, if l can get
the evidence.
Every man who knows of a viola
tion of the law in any respect and
does not report it to the officers is not
doing his duty as citizen. That does
not mean that he should nose around,
Or report frivilous matters, but it
does mean it is his solmen duty to re-
port willful violation of the law.
However, there is no use of reporting
unless the one doing so has true
Americanism enough in him to back
up his statement on the witness stand.
Every officer on the job in this coun-
ty desires to see law and order pre-
vail, but can do nothing without he
can get the evidence necessary to sus-
tain a conviction. The day to be
afraid to report on a criminal is past
forever, and the "guy" that is that
cowardly ought to be, buried.
Let every citizen prove his Ameri-
canism.
Very respectfully,
w. E. GOLFER,
Prosecuting Attorney.
