Stevens Point

27 February 1918

Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Swetala [Joseph Swetalla-2 and Josephine Korda-2] and son and daughter drove up from Lanark last Sunday behind Joe's fast stepper and visited several hours with the lady's parents, Anton Korda and wife [Anton Korda-3 and Susan Czech-3] on Prentice street. Two of Mrs. Swetala's brothers who live in Chicago write that there is a serious shortage of potatoes in that city, purchases at grocery stores being limited to a peck, for which the price is 65 cents, or at the rate of $2.60 per bushel. Who gets the big profit?
