A LESSON IN COMPARATIVE PRICES.
| The windows of Howes' grocery store
contain one of the forceful illustrations
of the cost of living today compared with
that of one year ago. 1t is we'll worth a
trip down town to see. One window con-
tains SAB worth of flour and sugar at
prices prevailing in June, 1920. In the
other window is the same amount of
sugar and flour at today's prices and also
at least seventy-five other articles to
make up the sum of SAB. The extra list
contains wheat, oats, corn, butter, cheese,
molasses, potatoes, canned goods, toilet
! articles, etc. Seeing is believing.
| An associated pre- despatch from
Newport, K. l., under date of June 18TH
says of former Belfast boy: "Chief
Gunner's Mate r. H. Wiggin of Newport,
Maine, was fatally injured at torpedo
practice today when a compressed air
line gave way and struck him on the
head. He died later at the naval hos
pltaL Wiggin, member of the seamen
gunner's class, was working on torpedo
barge when the accident occurred"
Rudolph was born in Belfast, in August,
1876, and was married in February, 1921,
| to Newport, R. l., young lady. His
| father, Frank R. Wiggin of Newport and
ms brother, Ralph c. Wiggin of Dexter,
lett for Newport on the receipt of the sad
| news.
The Waldo County Chapter, A. R. c.,
has been assigned 100 layettes to make.
This means more work than those who
have never participated in the undertake
ing can readily understand. In order to
save time, labor and expense, the COM
mlJtee is sending an urgent request to all
who have baby garments that they can
dispense with, to send the same before
thursday next, if possible, to Miss Maude
L. Mathews, Mrs. J. C. Durham, or Mrs.
Ben Hazeltine; or, if more convenient,
telephone message to any of the above
mentioned will bring a collector to your
nome. Please help with this part of the
work, as generously and promptly as you
did with the garments for older children.
