THE EVENING REPUBLICAN, RENSSELAER, IND.

How Food Price* Have Climbed In Renaaelaer Past Few Years, The following article was taken from the Monticello Journal and is so true of the conditions that exist throughout the country that it is well worth republishing and the conditions that exist in Monticello exist in all her neighboring towns and Rensselaer is no exception. In these times nf high prices it .s interesting to note the Tnrr?nsr--rn-prrces in different articles. “While it is not pleasant, it is in- 1 teresting to note the enormous increase in the prices of "ood stuffs at the persent time over the prices of three or four years ago. In some HWW rs- fotrrtimes that of the period three years ago; in some eases it is double and in practically all cases, there is a 20 per cent increase. “Country butter is now being sold in this city at 33 cents a pound. Three years ago 25 cents was thought a hign price. Creamery butter sells for 42 cents a pound. Three years ago .t was selling at 35 cents a pound. The priceoF - potatoes hiliH'rfldft! than doubled in the last few year 3. Where a bushel was received by consumer on receipt of 60c, only a peck is received at the present time. These prices are approximate, as some grocers may sell for less and others for more than the prices quoted. The price of canned goods has been boosted about 3c. Where a cun of tomatoes cost 15 cents three years ago, it now costs 18 cents, and the former 12V2C grade now sells for 15 cents. Canned goods that once sold three cans for a quarter now bring 12c a can. Storage eggs are selling for about 5c more than in former years. The present price is 46 cents, whereas 3oc used to be a high price. The price of navy beans is about four times what it was three years ago. Three, four or fjve cents a pound was thamount—asked. three years ago. Now iFlakes T2V 2 e to buy a pound. Much of the bean crop was spoiled this year by the dry weather early in the season and the continued rains later. It is also said that dozens of carloads of beans have been shipped to the border for the use of the soldiers. The small cans of evaporated milk wtricfl sold for 5c or 10c, now brings 6c and 12c. The price of flour, of course, has boon boosted to the sky with an increase of from $2 to $5 on the barret The cheaper grade of flour which soid for 45 cents, is now selling for $1.30. The better grades of flour are selling at a similar increase. One dealer, however, was optimistic about the flour prices. He that he thought the price would drop before long. The profit which the grocers are realizing on their goods is much less. Added to this, wrapping paper has increased from 4Vi to 11 cents a pound and oven twine costs the dealers more. The consumer should not think that the high prices mean more to the grocery keepers. No one in the city is more willing to have the high cost of living reduced than the grocerymen themselves.

GRIDIRON GOSSIP. The defeat of the Rensselaer team at Stuart Field, Purdue University, on last Saturday morning by the Sher idan high school eleven, was brought about by the wonderful playing of halfback Williams of the downstaters. Williams has been chosen as an all-state backfield man for the past two years. He is an unusually large man for a high school eleven and the Rensselaer defense was only at times able to stop him. Close observers of the game, who viewed it from a nonpartisan standpoint, assert that the football displayed by the locals outclassed that of their rivals and that Williams alone stood between them -and victory- He was a power-orr defense as well as the offense. For Rensselaer the stellar work was done by Right, Snow and Dunlap, all linemen. Their work was spectacular and time after time each of them stopped the blue and white runner with sensational tackling. They tore through the visiting line at will and many a time stopped the opposing runner in his tracks. Two of there men, Right and Snow, -are new men and Rensselaer may be assured of two sterling players in the future. However, the entire team showed a fighting spirit that was commendable and came close to scoring two or three times, only to have the breaks of the game go against them. The Wabash A. A. defeated the Fort Wayne Friars at Fort Wayne Sunday by the score of 3 to 0. A field goal booted by Routh in the last quarter was the only score. Ex-Coach Parker, who witnessed the game between Sheridan and Rensselaer, stated tßat the work of the end men, Kightrand Dunlap, was a revelation and that their tackling was as good as he had ever seen on a high school team. Snow was also praised by Parker for the way he tore through the opposing wall. —Goaeh Meyers is—not discouraged over the defeat and looks for a victory Thanksgiving and asserts that he has the material for a winner next year. Purdue students who witnessed the game said that Rensselaer showed the best line of football they ever witnessed in a high school team. Indiana and Purdue battled to a tie at Lafayette Saturday, both teams failing to score. The tie left them tied for the bottom position on the conference ladder. Yale defeated Harvard for the first time in four years at the Yale bowl Saturday before eighty thousand people. It was Yale's first touchdown since 1907. Ohio won the Conference championship Saturday when they dowmed Northwestern 23 to 3. The purple was unable to stop Halfback Harley of the Buckeyes. The Army defeated the Navy at the polo grounds in New r York 15 to 7. The Pitcairn team, of Pittsburg, was defeated by the Pine Village team Sunday at Indianapolis by a score of 13 to 3.

Sheridan and Rensselaer high schools battled on Stuart field Saturday morning, Sheridan winning 13 to 0. Williams, of Sheridan, was the star of the game, running sixty-five yards for a touchdown in the first quarter, and in the third period intercepted a forward pass and running seventy yards for a touchdown. His tackling was superb, and not once di?f he fail to bring the runner to earth. Williams has been Chosen all-state halfback for two years. Captain Moore, full back, and Gourley, right tackle, carried off the honors for the losers. Both are all-state selections. Gourley ripped open the Sheridan line for huge gains on tackle back plays and put up a stonewall defense. —Lafayette Journal. Miss Irma George, or Aix, who has been sick with pleural pneumonia,, .s some better now, but there are still some complications. Mr. and Mrs. A H. Tingle, of Indianapolis,' spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. E. P. Lane. Order your chrysanthemums now for Thanksgiving. A big assortment in all colors. Also other blooming plants and Terns. —J. H.
