Farm products are only Is per cent
higher han in 1913, but food is "a per
cent higher, clothing 70 per cent, and
building materials 100 per cent higher
than in that year according to the fig
ures published by the bureau of labor,
| Washington, D. c., covering the per-
iod to July Is, 1921. The wholesale
price of meat in the East averaged
about IA cents per pound. Wholesalers
are after the retailers for holding the
price of meat so high that the public
will not buy. The retailers blame the
consumers for buying only the best
cuts, causing waste of cheaper cuts
| L. G. Whittet, Tom Westlake,
Frank Kellogg, T. P. Casey of Chicago
and James Conway made party one
day last week to drive to Monroe in
Mr.. Conway's big sedan. Turning the
Greatsinger corner near Evansville, and
going at speed less than Is miles, the
big car collided with milk truck pull
ing up on the cross road from the right
and on the inside track. The Conway
party did not see the milk truck until
hitting it. The corner is very bad
one, and several accidents have taken
place there before. Both car and truck
were somewhat damaged, but the oc-
cupants escaped without serious injury.
A days work by a couple men clearing
the brush away at such dangerous road
turns would save hundreds of dollars in
