The cost of 22 articles of food used in making up the "retail food index increased 3 per cent over ths total cost in April aAii 7 per cent as com pared with January. Sugar advanced 25 per cent compared with the April prices; corn meal, 14 per cent; flour 7 per cent and potatoes S per cent. During the year period from May, 1919, to May, 1920, the greatest in crease 22 per cent was shown in Springfield, til., the next greatest in crease, or 21 per cent, being in Butte and Chicago. " , . , Wholesale prices also advanced during May, the department's review shows, the "index" in this case being 2 A per cent over that of April. "The group of fuel and lighting materials again furnished the most notable example of price increases," the statement says, "due mainly to the recent sharp advance in both hard and soft coal and coke. The index number of this group rose from 213 in April to 235 in May." DEAD MAN'S CLUB SUGGESTED BY SOLDIERS A dead man's club, composed ex clusively of ex-service men now liv ing, but listed officially as killed in action overseas, is the latest kind of fraternal organization suggested by William Wirt of Akron, Ohio. Wirt is having a hard time trying to tonvince the government that he isn't dead and buried in France. His name now is being chiseled from the bronze memorial tablet recently erfected in Akrrfft in a memorial building. Wirt estimates there are nearly 2,000 ex-service men now liv ing whom the war department rec o.rds show were killed and buried overseas. He also " declared that cour trecords show about 900 men declared officially dead who are still alive. He suggests that they organ ize a "Dead Man's Club," and adopt the slogan, "We may be dead, but we won't lie down." SLATS' DLVRY WILSON URGES GOVERNOR TO CALL EXTRA SESSION President Wilson last week sent a telegram to Gov.

The President in his telegram said: "It would be x real service to the party and to the nation if it is possible for you under the peculiar provisions of your State constitution, having in mind the recent decision in the Ohio case, to call a special se33ion of the legislature of Tennessee to consider the suffrage amendment. Al low me to urge this very earnestly.'.' Gov. Roberts has announced that he would call a special session of the Tennessee legislature for action on the amendment in time for the wom en to vote in the November election. COST TO PRODUCE THE 1919 CROP $2.15 A BUSHEL The 1919 American wheat crop was produced at an average cost to the grower of $2.15 a bushel, the de partment of agriculture announced in making public its recent cost of production survey, covering fourteen representative districts of the wheat belt. The survey further revealed, the department said, that to permit a profit on 80 per cent of the wheat produced on tne farms covered by the survey the price would have to be about $2.60. "Dollar wheat," once the aspiration of wheat grow ers, would have paid the cost of pro duction on only two of the 481 farms included in the survey.

COAL SHORTAGE NEXT WINTER IS PREDICTED A coal shortage next winter which may curtail production of iron and steel and seriously affect other in dustries is foreseen by the Federal reserve board in its review of busi ness, industrial and financial condi tions for the month of May. The sit uation already is acute in some dis tricts, according to the board, and production in many lines is being Lheld down. Production of coal is be ing curtailed chiefly as a result of shortage of cars, the reserve board reports. It estimated the car supply at mines in the east at only 30 per cent of normal. Labor difficulties, while complicating the situation, are considered by the board as only a minor cause of reduced coal produc tion. No reduction of coal prices is in sight, the board says.
