Looks For Decrease.

Groceries and canned goods-An
official of the Sanitary Grocery Com
pany said: 1--WE are loking for lower
market prices, at least not an in
crease. with good crops, canned
goods-particularly corn, tomatoes
and peas-should not increase in
price, but rather should decrease.
This will be due principally to the fact
that II will not be necessary to export
considerable canned goods. as during
the war.
with the export demand cut of. 7
feel that canned goods and groceries,
with but few exceptions, should de-
crease In price. Such staple articles,
I believe, have reached the peak. No,
do not believe there will be any
material increase in groceries or
canned goods during 1920.
Mests-One OF the largest packers
said there was nothing to indicate sny
material decrease OF meats, but pre-
dicted drop in the price of pork
products. But" he said, "I don't
think prices will go back to the old
level in 1920"

Tea Going Up.

Coffee. Tea and Sugs--J. II. wit
kins. OF the firm Of J. H Wilkins
Company said: There wi1 be but
slight increase in the pf;te OF coffee.
but probably a marked increase in
price OF teas, and but little, IL any. in
crease In price OF sugar.
T have no doubt there will be a
great demand for coffee during 1870,
but the demand will be met and I
feel there will be no material increase
in it's price. However, the Brazilisns
control the situation, and they will be
able TO regulate the prices of coffee I"
Mr.. wilkins said that there has been
rather abnormal demand for coffee
since prohibition, as for sweets, such
as candy. and soft drinks.

women's CIothinE.

women's clothes-"Garments for
women will increase anywhere from
% to so per cent. IL not higher. by
spring" said the manager Of one OF
Washington's leading shops In
women's cloaks and other wearing ap-
parel. "The labor proposition is par
ticularly responsible for this condi-
ton OF prices. There is no profiteer-
ing on the part Of the retail mer-
chant.
mo matter how eager the merchant
may be to conduct his store ut low
prices for his trade. he is hampered
by the cost of his goods from the
manufacturer. The demands OF labor
and the high costs of manufacturing
clothes and prices for and production
Of raw materials bring up the prices.
"And the merchant also has to figure
on his own overhead expenses. The
merchant will get 10 per cent less
profit this year than ever before"
The Washington times., 1920-01-06

Prices will steadily mount. II was
stated, with but few exceptions. dur
Ing the year 1890. Wearing apparel
for men and women Is expected TO
go sky high" particularly garments
for women due to the strike of gar
ment workers and other labor condi-
tions which have brought about big
increases in the manufacturing and
production of raw materials.
Urge Buying Now.
Probably the only exception to the
increase in prices will be In the but
ter and egg market which already
has taken slump. Groceries and
canned goods will show no material
Increase. but may 60 down In prices
slightly. Shoes will be greatly in
creased In prices.
1t is the tip of merchants dealing
in clothing and shoes that the public
buy now-bny before the prices take
a greater trend upward.
Here is what some OF the merchants
say as to what the public may ex-
pect for 1920 in the way of the high
cost of living: Y

New York's old-time Bowery is no

THE LITTLE SOULS.

He shall never live long who serves
only himself.
He shall never be great who thinks
only Of pelf.
Though he grow to be gray
In his own narrow way,
He shall find that the gold
He has Iabored to hold
Is an empty reward for his long years
Of strife.
And too late he shall learn he has
wasted his life.
He shall never be wise who thinks
only OF gain,
And tolls for but what he, himself.
may attain.
He shall sigh at the end
For the smile OF a friend
And shall reap from his years
Only hatred and sneeEs,
And alone he shall sit at the end Of
his days
And wish he had Travelled by kindlier
ways
He shall never be big who has never
been kind
But shall always be little OF soul and
OF mind,
He may scramble and fight
By the stern rule OF might
And may get TO the peak
By destroying the weak,
But there he shall find that his con-
quests are spoiled
And robbed OF their charm by the way
he has toiled.
The service worth while is the service
men give
That others in sunshine and laughter
may live.
The big men are they
Who win pause on the way,
To play for another
The role OF brother.
The great men are they who are gen
tie and kind;
They live when they die in the
friends left behind.

The analysis is an interesting exam

Last Night Dreams
What They Mean
DO YOU DREAM OF cATs9


WHILE dogs are regarded with favor
" by the mystics as dreamIand pets,
cats are looked upon askance. The
chief trouble with them seems to be
their occult relation TO SANDER and
gossip; which is probably why you
call that gossiping neighbor of yours
an ''old cat" Some people whom you
regard as your friends are talking
about you when you dream of cats. If
the cat appears gentle or sleeping, SO
much the worse. But don't be alarmed !;
to be gossiped about is the common lot.
Just drive the dreamcat away and all
will be well. If the animal makes of
in response to your energetic "Scat -
you will triumph over many obstacles
But choose your confidants carefully
when you see dreamcats. It is not
good sign to have the cat attack you,
for it means that the obstacles you
viii have to overcome will be great.
Dreamcats also, strangely enough,
seem to have 8 connection with rob
bers. If you beat or kill a cat in your
dreams you are going to catch e thief,
and If it IS cat you never saw before
you win recover all he may have
stolen from you. These are only gen
eral rules; the mystics are not agree
ing at all with regard to the details OF
cat dreams.

THE JOY RIDE.

THE Joy Ride is a successful meth
Il cd of killing dull care and any
thing else that gets in the way.
There are two kinds of joy rides
drunk and sober. Most of the auto
mobile accidents which are played
up on the front page every few min
utes are due to the joy rider who is
so full of booze that he can't tell
whether he is in the road or the riv-
er. Every once in a while an auto

laShes, after which he starts out to
see how fast the car Will run when
1t is opened up to the bright blue
sky. When two joy riders who are
in state of death-defying alcoholism
meet each other head-On, there is q
noise like blowing up a munitions
factory, followed by the still, small
voice of the hospital inferno.
If every joy rider could be taken
out of the front seat and tested for
alcohol before being allowed to run
