THE COST OF FOOD.

The cost OF land is trying it's best
to keep up with the cost OF food.
AT last accounting the former is
abreast OF the latter. Take for eX-
ample farm lands in Iowa, one Of our
very best farming states, a producer
of food second to none This table
shows the advance of farm land in
that State since 1861. when the ay-
orage price was So an acre

Free trader-journal. (Ottawa, Ill.) 1916-1920, 1920-01-12

Every increase in food prices made
possible larger profit, which in turn
cetted a larger demand for land,
ara " higher price FOR it. The higher
price OF lands made it necessary to
figure higher cost of production.
In Iowa, farm lanGs jumped $50 per
cent in price in less than ten years.
This is, we believe about what food
prices climbed in the same time.
Other agricultural states tell about
the same story When or where the
ascension will end is another story.

LONDON, Dec. 3o.-The Italian gov
ernment has published a decree granting
amnesty to Gabrielle d'Annunzio's forces
at Fiume. according to a Rome dispatch
to the Evening News today.
ROME, Dec. 3O.-War clouds which
have been hanging low over southern
Europe for nearly two years, were rolled
back today when Italy began to put into
effect the treaty of Rspallo at Fiume.
The threat Of an armed break between
Italy and Jug0- Slavia over Fiume and
other disputed territory on the Adriatie
was at hand. But for a year 1t had been
intensified by Gabrielle d'Annunzio, the
frebrand italian poet, who seized Fiume
and a number of islands on the DalIna-
tian coast In bold defiance OF the italian
government.
D,Annunzio's volunteers, not content
with land seizures, even attacked JugO-
Slav frontier guards and on several occa-
sions these clashes menaced the serenity
Of all southern Europe from the Medi-
terranean Sea to Roumania.
