and the local retail price as announced
yesterday is 20 cents. In other words
the dollar is going further and the fact
that some people have received an In
crease of wages will thus begi co be no.
ticeable. 1t is believed upon good au-
thocity that prices will continue to go
down and it is probably not too optimistic
to predict that In a years time markets
will give little indication of the prohibi-
tive conditions so obvious today. In the
St. Thomas Mail Notes someone suggests
to use the immigration Fund for the pur-
pose of buying cheap sugar abroad. This
will not be necessary if the present state
of the sugar market continues, and there
is no reason 10 doubt that it will. But
what it does appear is very necessary is
the abolition of the Food Commission
Whi-h while absolutely inactive as far as
fixing prices or doing anything to regu-
late thea is concerned. is Instrumental
in uph)lding certain high prices which
were fixed long and merry ago when they
may have been equitable. Some groce-
ries maintain they have the right to ask
the price liked by the Food Commission
although that price has 0utllVed its time,
and while the cutting OF prices among
some has helped to mini nize this prof.
teering inclination it nevertheless shows
itself when there is a chance Of enfOrc
ing it. With no power of any conse-
quence from the beginning, and its du-
ties neglected as they have been, the
Food Commission has been more annoy
ance than benefit. and in the name of the
many sufferers who have been and are
still the victims of its irregular purposes
it is sincerely hoped that immediate steps
will be taken to declare that august or
ganization at an end. 1t will lroVe a
delight to write its obituary.
Talking of prices reminds US that we
read in the St. Thomas Mail Notes an ad-
vertisement of vine-grape at Is cents a
pound; a select quality it is claimed.
Here vine-grapes were offered for sale
up to last Friday at so cents a pound.

FOR CHARITY FUND.
Starving Tots In Europe
To Receive Aid.

There are so many calls made upor
the public to assist in worthy and
charitable enterprises, especially
Christmas time, that a person scar
cely knows which to assist and which
to pass by, if he cannot give to all .
OF course everybody is familiar
with the old adage, Charity begins
at home,' and we all will help to our
utmost the ladies of the Unsectarian
Aid Society in providing Christmas
cheer for our own needy ones in New
Iberia.
But too often the charity that be-
gins at home also ends at home, and
the worlds unfortunates of other
lands are left to shift for themselves.
This winter brings us news of
thousands of little children in Europe,
in Belgium especially. who are starv-
inc to death for want of a few dimes
day that we in America could cas-
lily give.
Let us not be so blinded by the
daily scenes of destitution at home
that we cannot see their poor hands
reaching out for our assistance.
No worthy cause, and surely, this
is one, has ever been refused help
in New Iberia, and the case of the
starving little ones of Europe has a
strong support here in number of
the ladies of the town.
These ladies are not asking for
large donations, but will raise their
funds in a novel way.
On Wednesday afternoon on the
city's streets a number of young la
dies will sell home made candies, put
up in attractive pound and half pound
boxes. The candy has been made
and donated by several local ladies
who have this cause at heart, and the
will all be sent to National
to Europe at once.
This is a chance to get some deli
.ious candy, help worthy cause and
promote Christmas cheer all in one
,peration.
Buy literally, and see how much
more you will enjoy your own Christ
mas for having helped in saving the
ife of some starving child across
he sea.

walk materials are bound to fall il
price to quite an extent. If he is
then ordered to proceed with the work
he will be glad to do so, as the prices
will have gotten back to where they
were when he bid on the contract
and his anticipated profits will be un-
impaired
We can see the justice in Mr..
Dreyfus getting more for his work
than his bid calls for, as he was fore
ed to stop operations for several
months during which time the price
on all materials skyrocketed. Clear
ly the City cannot pay more than the
contract calls for. Therefore this
appeal of Mr.. Dreyfus will probably
prove to be an easy way out of an
apparently ugly difficulty.
The public, as usual, are bound to
lose. no matter which way the courts
finally decide. The Supreme Court
most likely will not get to this case
before next July. In the meantime
hundreds of our citizens are wading
through mud and slush, without side
