pride in their city welling up
within them, because they have
been able to pass through the
town over well cleaned cross­
walks. All such things, though
they appear small in themselves,
show in their commission the
ear-marks of a well ordered city
government. Another evil which
looks bad both for the manage­
ment and the citizens is the pre-
:.e ■ of rubbish accumulated
in the narrow alleys in the south
part of the city; also some are so
careless o f other people’s rights
as to pile wood in the alley so as
to obstruct the passage altogoth-
er, leaving it in that condition
for months at a time. Such
things should not be allowed,
since it not only is a great nuis­
ance and inconvenience but has
a bad effect upon the mind of
possible setMers and business
men.
High prices and cost o f living

demanding the attention o f peo­
ple of all classes at the present
moment. Nearly every one has
his own private opinion and ex
planation, and many are offering
solutions for the difficulty. It
has been suggested by some that
the high prices are due to a de­
crease in production; hut if we
examine statistics we find that
the amount of food crops pro­
duced last year were by far the
largest in the history o f the
country. Still the demand for
all classes of food stuffs is ab-
, normally large. So this does not
afford a sufficient explanation.
