SUGAR, WILL DROP. It will be good news to the aver- age housewife to learn that there is likely to be an early reduction in the price of sugar.. At . least those in a position to meow gine it as their opinion thatthe price is likelyto take a drop soon. People have be- come so accustomed to prices of staples soaring that it will prove a somewhat novel experience to learn of a drop. however, in the ease of sugar it will have to take a very decided slump before it reaches the comfortable,' rock 'bottom Price 'where it rested previous to 1014, SO11L•'THING- DOING NOW.

Latterly one lonesunflower sprung g up in the background and in spite of the fact that' the surroundings were forbidding it bloomed abundantly, flaunting its glowing, golden blos- sons, the one bit of brightness re- lieving the Sahara -desert -like bare- ness of the square, However, last week one clay Chief Wheatley arose in his might, got men to work levelling. off the ground and soon had it leak- ing as if somebody lived and moved about the city hall.
