There has been a decided drop in the price of food to the extent that some of these women aay they have actually laid! a little cash aside. Eggs have dropped in price so that aome people have been able to eat two at a meal; meats have come down 50 per centjn some Ifnes; customers at the stores are always asked "Hdw about sugar?'' Potatoes are cheaper than when they were dug in the fall; cereals are so plentiful that the stores are anxious to get rid of the stock for coming new goods. Borne storekeepers actually say that lower prices are in sight. In the country districts, pork, poultry i eggs and vegetables can be had •t figures lower than for five yeans". Pork is. selling wholesale at $12 per hundred pounds. Every farmer has more than he fen use, but the market is so poor that it does not pay to transport it. There are thousands of hams now in the smoke houses being cured, and these will soon be available . almost at the customer's price. THE PUBLISHER'S RESPONSIBILITY Much demoralising reading is printad on the plea that "the public wants It." A mother might as excusably give her child the glistening arsenic for which it cries. The publisher" bears a responsibility to society like that of the preached or the teaoher. This, at any rate, is the view of the Publishers of The Youth's Compan- , ion.- From its first issue to the present it has been a constant force, for character building. And with all that it has b?en so wisely edited that no publication exists 'of more varied Charm, more inexhaustible and refreshing sources of interest— "l The 52 issues of the coming ye at ' will be crowded with serial stories, short stories, editorials, poetry, facts ami fun. Only $2.50 for an amount of reading equal' to thirty-five- volumes of fiction, humor, etc. THE "YOUTH'S COMPANION, Commonwealth Ave. and St. Paul St., Boston, Mass.

JOHN MECRAY POST 'CELEBRATES 41 ST ANNIVERSARY This social gathering this evening js on the anniversary of the John Met ray Post 40, Grand- Army of teh Republic. . It is forty-one years today when it was first instituted. In the month of November 6,. 1879, there was a call placed in the .Cape May Wave, requesting all honorable discharged soldiers, sailors, and marines of the Civil War to meet at a certain house on Jackson street, the obj'eet was to fornfa Post of the Grand Army of the Republic. * On that evening there were twenty-one who responded to the call. The principles and. object of the G. A. R., was made known to all present. After the matter was talked over, it was decided to meet'again at the call' -of the chairman. The next meeting was held on December 15 at a small hall on Perry street. At that meeting- the electing of officers for the various positions in the Post was made, and the application^ for a charter was then signed by the followed named veterans : William W. Mesiok, William B. Eldredge, William Farrow, R€teK J. v Donnelly; Charles Sandgran, John D. Speace, Francis K. Duke, John N. Reeves, Mitchell A. Sandgran, Henry S. Seaman, James Crandall, A. C. Gile, C. S. McGrath, George W. Barnes, James J. Doak, Samuel C. Barton, Thomas T. Lemon, H. W. Sawyer, John B. Davis, James H. Carman and James V. Clark. . It was not until February 11th that the Post was granted a charter. On that date the Department officers arrived and instituted Post if 40. At that time there was no other Post in Cape May County. New comrades jomed is and it was about 1912 that the Post had mustered in ninety-five members, when there were no more to join us, and today t there are hut four charter members alive, and our memkcrshjf< now is e but twenty-two. The others have all passed away to that Bourne j whence no one returns. 3 The Comrades of this Post have on every 30th day of May, visited nineteen burial grounds within our jurisdiction and planted flowers , upon the last resting place of our noble dead. One by one our ranks \ have been thinning and tliey leave us. Post 40 has performed all their , pledged duties, assisted the widows and orphans of our departed Com- 1 , racles, and -fliey have by their steadfast purpose and example of true 1 ^ Americanism always shown that they were ever ready to support the j laws of our Cpuntry, And it is their desire and intehtion to leave to ' i their sons and daughters a* heritage of thie American principles an [ ■ , ideals that will continue unto untold time and generations to come. | " Tre soldiers and sailors of the Republic during the Civil War from I I '61 wo~> have passed through the furnace of war and have been tried ' by fire. There h<|s never "been a Nation that has ever placed an Army or Navy in n field of battle that has ever equaled or surpassed the American soldier. In alTIts wars our Country lias never been the ng. 1 . .grtssor and never took up arms with the intention of grasping the ter- , f ritorv of other Rations, or for tribute. To the American people War has the sacrcdness of those ancient struggles which began in Heaven ■ between the righteous and the fallen Angels. • Wh6n Americans go to i war it is for some high principles, to benefit humanity, and tliey enter ' : upon the struggle with all the lofty devotion of ancient martyrs of the 1 I faith. The Old World has said for eenturcs to the "Victor belongs the ( 1 Spoils." But America has railed a higher standard. It was always to benefit humanity. Our forefathers in the Revolutionary War, it ^ was to free- us from tlie'yokc of a tyrannical government and it was the same cause of the War of 1812. The Mexican War was forced upon 1 us, and then this Country bought and paid for territories which they , conquered. - Again this Government bought and paid for Louisiana when we { could nave taken it and in 1£98 our neighbor Cuba wns in trouble, we helped that little Isle to gain her Independence. This' Government ( bought these possessions and paid for them. This was the time we dc- t fented Spain and drove the Spanish from Cuba. This country paid Spain twenty million dollars for the Isle of Cuba. Where is it shown in the history of any country ,snch generous dealings to a vanquished foe. -Again in this late World War, America has surpassed any otfcer civilized Nation, not a penny has this country , received for its great sacrifice of life and millions- of wealth, and now we have and-are still feeding the starving children of our late enemy would have destroyed and 'devastated our land. Yes, we all have reasons to be proud of our Country. j We, all have the greatest of reason to he proud of this Country of ( onrs. All othet* Nations respect us? and look to us to take the lead in the great problems that have loomed up since the last War. "Old • Glory" our emblem of Liberty has for over one hundred and forty- • .right years been flung to tbe breeze as the symbol of Liberty, and the i opporcssed of every Nation have found shelter under its fold and today , over one hundred million jwoples claim it as their own and I bcljeve i tliey would rally unitedly to its defense. A. C. GILE, Historian, Post 40. i i : — i The event was held Friday evening, February lltli in the auditor- j ium.'- The' services were very impressive and brought sad memories of : the tVu-sT from the absent one, husband or father. They too, had been 1 in/iid>krs of. Post 40 in the years gone by. But, again it was n pardon- j iyile pride for all those present from the fact that their lives had been one of the defenders of our Union, had fought for Liberty and true t . American principles. j V Aside from all tluit, it did not mar the pleasures of the evening, j The old-time war songs, of Anter-Bellum days and the addresses made . by some very old veterans could not but help to riiake the thoughts of c many go back to the years of long ago. The principle guests were: Department Commander, John J. McNeil; Assistant Buarterinaster, General G. Wrightstone. A number of other post department officers . VeVe present in eluding Past Department Commander, E. F. Hann ' and Jojrn C. Allen, the Commander of Joe Hookeu Post, of Atlantic / City, New Jersey. \ The program in full follows : . , .

The"quartette of the "Tent" Daughters of Veterans sang the old southern melody, loved-by l all Americans, "Old Folks at Home." It was rendered with, such C pathos and feeling, but an^eneore could not be responded to owing to lack qf time. The solo by J. W. Eldredge was well rendered. The* ■ -selections played by Mrs. Strange and son on the' chimes was wonderful music. It didTrdt take much of a stretch of one's imganiation, if they 1 closed their eyes for a brief time, because the heavy-toned notes aound-

: . j t\l just like "Chm« Church" bells or some Cathedral chimes and | again the high notes would remind as of "The Sleigh Bell Ride," "Hii Away-Home." , It was m<*t assuredly the star attraction of the even- ? ing. Mr. Strange is a most beautiful performer on the cornet, ^the solrts played by Mrs. Strange on the piano, accompanied hy her son on the cornet, was warmly encored. It was the opion of all that the affair was a great success. A carnival of good moral pleasure and in-, p structive for all. Vote of .Thanks — The Committee desires to express their heartfelt f thanks to the Daughters ond Sons of Veterans for their untiring efe forts in assisting us to make the 41st anniversary of Post 40 a success, s which will always be remebered by the old veterans. Alko we desire to i express our thanks to those. outside of our association, namely: Mrs- - Strange and her son and J. W. Eldredge. Detail of Post 40.
