INCREASE SLIGHT FOOD COSTS IN STATE, IS SHOWN No material increase in the cost of living In the six month period between June 1 nd December 17 is reflected In the bids received by the state board of control Monday for the six months' suppl ot yprovisions for the various state Instlutions. j jn increase of practically two cents i'per pound in the price of fresh beef over the price of last June is more than ' pffset by a decrease of almost seven cents a pound hi the price of becon and a decrease ot nine cents a pound in the price or smoxea nam. No bid was entered for supplying sugar, supposedly due to the shortage of the supply. Blight increase are also noted in the nrices quoted on salt, rice, white beans, soda crackers, flour and rolled oats ; while pink beans and coffee are of- ivferel for. less than the price ot six months ago. A comparison in the figures of last ; June and the present bids is contained in the following table: .

Moses In Newspaperdom) In future years, the era In which we now live will be called "The Age of the Tin Can." The trend of the times is toward over-standardliation. Originality and individuality, are dumDed into the discard, and the style of doing things shades off into a dull, neutral gray. In all lines of hu man endeavor, their votaries get to gether, adopt so-called standards of practice, and arrange among themsel ves to do things by chart, foot-rule and recipe. Departure rrom inw standards is considered uneimcai, and he who dares to break away from the oligarchy of his craft is cursed by the-visiatlon of ostracism, calum ny and the frigid mitt A professional man who advertises Is unethical, even though his adver tising be of great value in spreading useful Information among the people, and his fellow dispensers of dope point an accusing linger ai mm his "quack." -A labor unionist who refuses to strike when his fellow workers walk out la also uneimca.. even though his refusal to throw up his Job may be or great uc nubile, and upon him is stuck the opprobrious label 'of "scab. unionist tne are on a prec - f . ouack" and tne scau same kidney. dlvidod Into trade and professional cliquy each bVnt upon getting hog's Portion of the gravy, and to hell witn in. xleW. o cut down the work .n Increase the revenue. - rTotes and being able tomak. hnik formation and refuse to down and break typically Irregular, for In healing the sick He, displayed no license or dip loma, and he utterly refuted the doc trine of calomel, quinine and mor phine.

Franklin and Edison scabs each and all of them for they ignored the eight hour day and did not strike for tfme-and-a-half on holidays nor doub le pay for Sundays. Luther, Knox and Wesley were no toriously irt-egular. They refused to partake of the canned theology or their day, but made the grievous blunder of putting up other theology under their own labels. Btlli glory poes to them for their courage nt a tlms when only a hair separated them from the gallows, the stake and ths hemlock. Old Socrates was (he prince of irregulars, and when the po tion of poison trickled down, his throat he filed bis fame for eternity. OFF TO WIN! Kugene, Or., Pec. II. "We're going south to win!" So spoke Coach "Hhy" Hunt Intrton when the Oregon foot ball squad started yesterday afternoon for Pasadena, where the Oregonlans will meet Harvard New Years day.
