The A. A. Purdy store has a very
interesting window display this
week illustrating the cost of living
at present compared to 1920. In 1920,
$43.75 would buy 100 pounds of

day that same amount will buy the
following: 800 pounds flour, $50
pounds sugar, 10 pounds graham
flour pounds rolled oats, s
pounds crackers. case milk, case
tomatoes, | box apples, 5 gallons
canned fruit, 29gallons syrup, q gal

ounces baking powder, | broom and
/ whisk broom If we could only
get our depression" bills paid our
repression dollars would make a
very nice income in purchase value
today.

Eureka
County Shed Burns.

The new siren gave announcement
of a fire about o clock Wednes-
day morning, in the county shed.
The fire started when an electric
light bulb exploded, caused by gas
dripping on it while John Mcclure
was working on a plugged gas line
under the new red Chevrolet coun-
ty truck. In an instant Mr.. Nc
Clure was afire but due to the
prompt action of Jack Heblson who
pulled him out, and Lewis Fetterly,
who tromped out the fire, he was
not injured. The oil soaked floor
soon caused great eonfIagratlon
but the fire was confined to the
rear of the shed and it may be con-
sidered a very lucky fire con-
sidering the close proximity to other
buildings. Several cars, including
the red truck which was burned
badly, and two passenger. cars be-
longing to Ray Frost. and l.. l.
Price which were stored there, were
sorry sights. A car belonging te
Harry Bouton was burned but was
of little value. Little or no mate
rial damage was done the large re-
lief supplies stored there. The FIRE
department is to be complImenteo
on the prompt and efficient action
given under the leadership Of
George Davis although Jim Bro
derrick whose restaurant is JUS
across the alley was first man or
the job.

The Modernization Committee for

be open to the public at all times dur

Brahner-Smith said. In this way,
thousands OF persons interested in re-
modelling their homes were able to
zee an actual modernization job.
Naturally, this delayed completion,

Of their time answering questions Of
those interested in remodeling their
own homes. In one day alone, the

away over $500 pamphlets on insula-
ton to visitors at the house"
The only delay caused by labor
trouble" Mr.. Brabner-Smith said, was
. period Of one week, and work has
progressed as rapidly as expected ex-
cept for that period. This delay was
brought on, IT was explained, by re-
fusal Of union painters to paint the
inside woodwork because they learned
the plumbing installation had been
done by a non-union man. The Junior
Boarders themselves painted the inside.
All other labor was done by union
men, Mr.. Brabner-Smith said.
