COST OF LIVING, ALREADY HIGH, TO 60 HIGHER

4 1 And "the end Is not yet,

With butter and eggs quoted In the

neighborhood of forty cents, potatoes c $2 a bushel and other commodities

soaring to equally loftly planes, highest prices ever known at this season registered in Iliciimond and vicinity. , And the worst of it Is, the retailers intimate that "the end is not yet." Dealers declare they are not profiting by the increases and hope that the prices will soon drop, for their own, as well as the customer's benefit. Cutter Makes Advance . Butter and eggs, especially have scored a marked advance during the pa3t week or two. Last year this time butter was quoted at 28 cents. It takes 34 or 36 cents to buy the same amount this year. Eggs, bringing 26 and 28 cents a year ago, are quoted at 36, 38 and even 40 cents, at present. . Chickens, too, have displayed a decided tendency to aviate. Fowls, which retailed at 13 cents the pound last year, are ranging from 17 to 20 cents this year. Even onions, cabbage and cheese have scored advances of from 50 to 300 per cent. The extent of the general increase in the "cost of living" is shown in the

following table compiled by a local

dealer: Yesterday Butter, per lb......$ .35 Eggs, per doz 38 Fowls, per lb .18 Spring chickens, lb.. 20 Potatoes, per bu. . . . 2.00 Cabbage, per brl... 3.00 Onions, sack ....... 1.35 Cheese, per lb. 21 Vi

DIME NOVELS DOOMED, SAY NEWSSTANDS Diamond Dick, Nick Carter, the James Boys remember 'em, you old time nickle novel fans? Well, be prepared to bid them all a fond farewell. The high cost of print paper, local news dealers reported today, combined with the fact that the present generation of juveniles is not so much addicted to this kind of literature as their elder brothers and fathers, are ' cauies which determined the publishers to retire from the limelight the dare-devil, gun-fighting heroes of our boyhood days. Boy Scouts Responsible. The Boy Scout movement is said to have played an Important part-in robbing the nickle novel of Its popularity with the present generation of boys. According to local dealers there has been a decided reduction in recent years in the sales of nickle nobels and that the majority of purchasers of such publications have been men who formed a habit for such literature when boys. The announcement of the suspension of the nickle novel will bring back to hundreds of Richmond men

memories of almost forgotten boyhood days when no Saturday afternoon was considered complete unless there was a session with Nick Carter or Diamond Dick or the James Boys in the loft of father's barn, or some other place secluded from the parental vision. You will recall how your cropped hair arose when you read how the blood-thirsty Indians pursued the almost exhausted Nick Carter; or how the reckless James Brothers shot up a town and rode with golden loot from raided banks in sacks across their horses' backs. Well, so long, Nick and Dick take care of yourselves.

Punching the keys on the typewriter may not be conducive to the development of muscles like Jess Willard, yet Miss Lillian Andrews, a mild looking and pretty stenographer of New York was able to cope with a large burglar who awakened her when he entered her room. Miss Andrews grappled with the intruder for more than half an hour, and, in spite of his efforts to get away, held him until the arrival of the police.

KISSING AT DEPOT IS RARE ENOUGH TO DRAW ATTENTION

G, & 0. MAGAZINE DESCRIBES FIRST EXCURSION TRAIN

Accompanying a history of the construction of the track which is now the C. and O. Railroad of Indiana, the company's magazine for employes published in its September Issue a

photograph of the first excursion train on the Cincinnati, Richmond and Muncio railroad. Th photograph was taken in 1901 nt Williamsburg. Many Richmond

men, not recognizable in the reproduced picture are said to be among

Ihose on top of the coaches and in the foreground are Tom Brown, engineer and Dick Jones, section foreman, who are still In the service. The article says the line was the Idea of the Richmond Commercial club which sought competition of railroads here, and was originally planned from Cottage Grove, connecting with the C., H. & D. to Muncle, connecting with the Big Four. Henry C. Starr was incorporator and Is now the oldest official on the Indiana division of the C. and O. Fred Charles, city entnr, was construction engineer and during his connection with the road walked from Cincinnati to Chicago directing the right of way survey. The article recites the various mergers and dissolutions of which the road was part until it became the Cincinnati, Chicago and Louisville railroad, passing into the hands of James P. Goodrich, receiver, in 1908 and becoming a part of the C. and O. in 1910. The historical sketch was written by

F. L. Fox, son of Judge Henry C. Fox, of Wayne circuit court.

Farewell and saluatory kisses at the Pennsylvania depot are too scattered, so scattered as to cause many curious persons to miss a glimpse, according to Patrolman Will Lawler, whose central post is the station. "They should have gates here. That would concentrate the kissing," he said today. Describing the kisses, he said kisses have a peculiar lingering quality not usually ascribed to this form of felicitation or affection. There are usually extra ones just as the traveler is putting his or her foot on the car step. There seems to be a lack of . unity of motion, he said, although both are directed toward the same purpose. This sometimes causes bumps. "Some kisses would cause a tender hearted person to weep," he said. "Most kissing is done by women. Invariably the clutching is done by the person who is staying here, while the traveler Is patting her shoulders." He admitted he and the railroad employes are now hardened but still find an attraction in osculation which draws and holds their attention. Usually the kissed faces are tear stained, he said, some with joy of greeting and others with sadness.
