[rizardo dartusio]

This news flash is brought you you by "The Wall Mart."  "Why pay more for goods.  "The Wall Mart" will not be undersold.  We don't claim the be the best, but we do claim to be the cheapest.  If you find it cheaper somewhere else, let us know and we will undercut our competitor's price and sell it you you for 10% cheaper than they would."
 
And now the news:
 
As grain prices continue to rise, the cost of making beer is going up as well.  Beer is now is selling for 3 times what it did a year ago, and beer drinkers in Trelac and Bonwicke are beginning to wonder if there will come a day when they will now longer be able to afford this relaxing and thirst quenching beverage.  John Barber, local surgeon and barber says a beer shortage can have serious side effects for society.  After a hard day's work a man needs a beer to relax.  The relaxing and digestive health benefits of beer have long been known, and in Barber's opinion, beer is the lubricant of society.  Not having beer is going add a lot more tension to an already tense situation in the western region.  Rumors are that some people have begun to hoard beer.  Money lenders have even begun to speculate that bee, rather than gold, may soon be the basis for a new monetary system within the region.   If so, this may give a new meaning to liquid
 assets.
