High Prices? And Local Dollar Man

To the Editor of the "Mohrh-Chixn Dairy NEWS"

Sm—I have given my mite to the S.A. Rice Van, thus doing unto the poorer what I expect the richer to do unto me.

In brief, I ask them to ponder these prices for a local-dollar man:

Beet $150 per Ib. Pork $1.60 per Ib. Oranges 3 for $1

And then spinach at 18 cents makes me wonder what would happen {o Pop-eye if he lived in Shanghai.
