It has no belts to slip or gears to strip. The Torrington motor is a cool-running, compact power plant, set low to go under furniture. Its use of electricity is surprisingly small —- only about two cents worth a week, in the average home — and reduces cleaning to a few minutes daily. — Think of it—YOUR HOME ENTIRELY SWEPT — in a few minutes. You can carry a Torrington upstairs or anywhere, because it is light and compact. You can buy one because of the special easy payment plan.

PRICES YESTERDAY AND TODAY

Country Storekeeper. _Gives Some In- \ teresting Figures. The proprietor of a small country store in a Bartholomew county town says that in 1893 a woman brought 10 pounds of butter to his store and that he paid her 50 cents for it. She also sold him 10 dozen eggs tor 50 cents, thus establishing a credit of sl. For this she received five pounds of sugar, 25 cents; eight pounds of bulk oats, 25 cents; six pounds of navy beans, 25 cents, and two pounds of coffee, 25 cents. A few days ago another woman brought to the store 10 pounds of butter for which she received $6, and 10 dozen eggs for which she received $4. As part payment In merchandise she took five pounds of pugar, 95 cents; six pounds of navy beans, 75 cents; eight pounds of bulk oats, 86 cents; two pounds of cofTee, 90 cents, a total of $3.46. This left a difference of $6.54 which she received in cash. Thus it will be seen that the selling price of eggs and butter had

increased 1,000 per cent, and the price of groceries on her list about 333 1-3 per cent. There are no figures showing how much more it costs her to churn butter now than in 1893. The value of the butter materials is higher. If the hens that laid 10 dozen eggs were running at large the maintenance cost was very low. If they were penned and had to be fed the cost would be a considerable item. Yet a fair estimate of the increased cost of production would still leave a generous profit for such products as eggs and butter. These figures should be interesting to the farmer’s wife who will cast her first vote in the election this fall. We all know that the example given above is absolutely true. While the prices that one has to pay for everything they consume are a great deal more than they were even eight or 10 years ago, eve/ryone has the money to pay them much easier than they could pay the lower prices, then, and still have money left. Who wants to return to the conditions of yesterday?

COX PAID ALL HIS OWN HOTEL BILLS

Governor Cox, seen at the Congress hotel yesterday afternoon, was deeply interested in The Herald and Examiner’s expose of Governor Lowden’s use of state funds. Asked if he would commenf, he said: “During miy three terms as Governor' of Ohio I have never charged the state a single penny for traveling expenses* or hotel accommodations, whether I was on official or private business. I have thought it proper to pay everything out of my own pocket. “The books of the auditor of Ohio will prove my statement.”— Chicago Herald-Examiner' (supporting Harding.)

TWO REPUBLICAN EDITORS’

Views On Montlcello Democratic * Meeting of Aug. 30. It la said that a corporal’s guard turned out* at Montlcello Monday noon to greet Franklin D. Roosevelt, Democratic nominee for the vice-presidency. Evidently roasting ears are much more popular with Montlcello people than Franklin D. Roosevelt. —Rensselaer Republican. A large crowd of White county Democrats turned out' Monday shortly after noon to hear Franklin D. Roosevelt, candidate for vice-presi-dent on the Democratic tlckot. He discussed the League of Nations from the administration view point and expressed the belief that the election of Governor Cox would solve the problems now confronting the country. Mr. Roosevelt and party traveled in a special car attached to the noon train and on their arrival at Monticello they were escorted to the T. W. O’Conner residence where lunch was served. At the close of his address he was taken by auto to Delphi, accompanied by several cars from Montlcello. For the first gun of the campaign, the Democrats made a very favorable showing at Montlcello, and while Mr. Roosevelt avoided bitter personalities, his league argument failed to convince many voters of its desirability. — Monon News (Rep.) The above reports of the Roosevelt meeting are of interest. Looey wasn’t there at all and with his usual “reliability” desired his readers to believe it was a frost. Editor Huff of the Monon News, a lifelong Republican who never ran off after false gods and who has been a Republican more years than Looey has been bom, speaks first-hand of the meeting. Can you place any dependence or believe anything you see in a paper so blindly partisan as Looey’s?
