Pity the ptople in "starving" Eng land. Food is so scarce that the London bakers have raised the price of bread to 6 cents a pound! And we are paying 50 per cent fndre than that for brea( right here jn Omaha and nearly everywhere else in this republic. An article in the London Times of March7,24 tells about the increase in the price of bread. "This is just double the before-the-war price," says tlit article. i And beans are 15 -cnits i pound! The cost l7'i cents here. Many Englishmen are pursuing ttieic. favorite sport these days of; writing to the limes, the subjert agitajing them 'most being the re striction of the -use of sugar. Yet the amount allowe'd them is liberal. Potatoes Cheaper Than Here,. Some'fcthef food prices quoted in the iSTimes oh March 26 are these: Potatoes, 45 cents a peck; Oregon apples, $375 a bof dates, 2'A cents a pound; California navel oranges, $7 a box; turkeys, 25 cents to 35 cents a pound: chickens,' 75 cents to $1 eachjjucks, 85 cents to $1.25 each; rabbits, 25 cents to 50 cents each; bacon, 35 Cents a pound; lard, 25 cents pound;. American cheese, 40 cents pounds -butter, 50 Cents i poundf nee, 6 cents a pound. That doesn't look to us like a food ahbrtage or vrta like war price, does it?
