This does not mean that all prices will rise. When more products rise in price than fall, the general price level will rise, but many products will be going down.

The terms Upstairs the Twins were as busy as The Nuisance Fairies promised to be very good and very quiet and to stay downstairs, while "Nancy anil Nick cleaned their second floor. And they kept their word. Even when Howly Thander noticed something and inked at his very best iilends. Jumpy Lightning and Old Man Flood, nodding his head at the same time toward the front door, he did it ever so quietly.

And when Jumpy Lightning and Old Man Flood saw what he meant, they nodded back quietly, too. This was what they saw- The Twins had slammed the door but they had not locked it. The way was clear for all the Nuisance Fames to escape. Upstairs the Twins were as busy as Roman candles on the Fourth of July. They swept and dusted and scrubbed and cleaned and made beds and moved furniture and soon had everything shining.

"Somebody's going to have a big said Nancy, surveying their work with pride. "I think Roman candles on Fourth of July. thev deserve something nice for being so good don't ou, Nick.

Old Man Flood had Slzzly Dry Weather by the neck trying to choke him, while Jack Frost Hopped around on one foot and laughed. Howly Thunder and Jumpy Light- mug were fighting Mr. Storm, and Mr.

The next thing, the Twins saw was Sprinkle-Blow striding into their midet and doing all he could to stop them said Nick, "we must go down and help him." (To Be Continued) First on the Appetite List the crispness and charm of Grape-Nuts have been tested by the family, fliere's one item that stands prominently out irithe marketing- list thereafter, That's Grape-Nuts. The twenty hours of continuous baking have produced, from the natural richness of wheat and malted barley, a food that is uniquely sweet with sugar developed from the grains themselves, and whose crispness and flavor make a delightful appeal to every member of the family.

And Grape-Nuts is soundly nourishing --a great builder of health and strength. Served with cream or milk, as a cereal for breakfast or lunch, or made into a pudding for dinner. See that ygpr marketing list includes this delicious, economical food, today. All grocers. "There's a Reason" Ifate by Postum Cereals-Company, In Battle Creek, Michigan PRICES OF FARM PRODUCTS IN U.

S. The family man whose Income did nor increase between 1914 and 191S was in a bad way. Everything he needed, and all the things he and his wife and children BS- lieved they ought to have to be happy, became so costly that a new system of living had to tie adopted. Millions, perhaps, changed tbeir diet by reducing animTI foods, and meats of all kinfis, and increasing the use ot grains anI vegetables; and, incidentally, a very large number have not gone back to the old schedules. Compared with the 5-year average before the World War, wholesale prices in 1918 had doubled, or were represented by 200 as an index number from which to figure.

Many commodities were higher and many were lower than this figure would indicate. However, any product that had not doubled in price in those days was relatively cheap, and anything that had, more than doubled was relatively high priced. Prices, it will be seen, are high or low entirely by comparison. The man who went back into history for his information and guidance in preparing for what he might reasonably expect to encounter in 1918 or 1919 learned that the and fall of prices in the period after the World War bore a striking similarity to the same rise and fall after the War of 1812 and after the Civil War. In each case the highest price level was reached after the war closed, and in each case there was an extremely violent drop.

Department Bulletin 999, just issued by the United States Department of Agriculture as a contribution from the Bureau of Market? and Crop Estimates, shows that the rise in prices during the World War was much the same as during the Civil War peiod, but continued longer after the close of the war, and resulted in a more violent drop than occurred after either the War of 1812 or the Civil War. After each of the previous wars a very violent drop in prices occurred, followed by recovery in part and tcmewhat stable prices for a year or more, followed by a longer but less violent drop, and again followed by a period or somewhat stable prices. The drop in prices of farm products the World War, as shown in the bulletin referred to, began slowly, increased in rapidity, then dropped more gradually, and by June, 1921, had, apparently, completed Its downward course, at least that part which might be described as violent. To judge by Civil War Myrtle Work returned Sunday to her school at Sharon Center after a summer vacation spent with her mother. Agnes Soderhind has returned to her school duties at Osceola after spending the summer vacation at her home.
