A telegram states that the exhibit
tion from the rural schools of Indiana
is attracting much attention from the
educators at st. Louis, according to
State Superintendent f, A. Cotton,
who has been in st. Louis arranging
the display. The rural school exhib-
its. he says. are more artistic and
more nearly complete than are tie
like exhibits from other states. The
arrangement of . the Indiana exhibit
is completed. 1t is among the first
to be put in place. The exhibits
from the counties of LaPorte, Benton
Porter and Knox are regarded as
among the most attractive features of
the Indiana display. The department
OF public instruction paid particular
attention to the exhibits from the
rural schools, leaving the trained
teachers in the city schools to do their
own work. Mr.. Cotton says that the
exhibits from the Indiana cities are
equal to those from the cities of other
states.

Home Market Prices.

1t is increasingly evident that the
farmer is getting the benefit of a
higher range of pllces for his products,
due to the Development of home in.
dustries and consequent increase in
population Of thei United States.
While our cotton reports continue to
grow in volume, their relation to the
total crop is decreasing percentage,
due to the fact that the home con-
sumption is growing more rapidly
than the consumption abroad. In
wheat the figures show an actual fall
ing off of exports, while at the same
time higher price level is reached,
just as it has been reached in cotton.
The home consumption of breadstuffs
has increased amazingly.
Time was when Liverpool made the
quotations for both these great Amer
lean staple products of the soil, but
that time is past. While Liverpool
is still the taker of larger amount
of American cotton than any other
port in the world. the prices are made
in New Orleans and New York. The
feeling of the Liverpool exchange is
still something of a factor, bat it
merely contributes to the quotation:
it does not make it as of old.
In wheat, corn and all other Amer
lean cereals, Chicago makes the quo
tatiOnS for the world and Liverpool,
which once dictated them, is no longer
a particularly important factor. A
market quotation is always a seesaw
between conditions at the point of
production and conditions at the GEN.
ter of distribution, but in all the
great cereals, except rice, Chicago is
the center of both production and dis
trlbution, and makes the market.
And it is worth while to remember in
passing that the purchasing power of
a bushel of wheat or pound of cot
ton was never so great, even with the
noninally high quotations of war
times, as it has reached this year.

WORLDS FAIR HOTEL
ACCOMMODATIONS.
st. Louis Hostelries Prepared to Handle
Vast Throngs-Prices Not to Be In
ereased-HoteI Inside Of the Ex-
position Grounds With Ca
pacity For 5000 Guests.

Ample hotel accommodations have
been provided for the Worlds Fair
visitors at st. Louis both within and
outside of the Exposition grounds.
The Exposition management has or
ganized free information service. A
pamphlet has been issued for gratui-
tous circulation explaining many of
the conveniences that have been pro-
vided. A list Of all the hotels. with
rates, is contained in this pamphlet
The entire city has been canvassed.
and many thousands of private house
holders have arranged to receive visit
ors. These houses are in every section
of the city. and the rates at which
guests will be received is q matter of
record on the books of the bureau.
The Inside inn, a hotel on the Eek
position grounds, has a capacity for
5000 guests. The Exposition manage
ment has control Of the rates, which
have been fixed at from $1.50 to $3.50
per day, European plan. including adj
mission to the grounds. On tile Amer
lean plan the rates range from So to s.
per day. The hotel is 400 by 800 feet
and is three stories high.
There are more than $50 established
hotels in st. Louis, and signed agree
ment has been made between many OF
their managers with the Exposition of
ficials that rates shall not be raised
during the Exposition period. Many
new hotels have been built on sites adj
jacent to the Exposition grounds, and
the published fixed rates warrant the
assertion that no one need pay eX0r
bitant rates for accommodations either
at hotels or private houses.
Among the new hotels may be men
toned the Hotel Napoleon Bonaparte
which stands at Clayton avenue an(
Skinker road, overlooking the Exposi
ton grounds. This hostelry will &C
commodate 5000 persons. The rates
European plan, are from 81 to So Pc
day. The Grand View hotel, south o.
the Exposition, on Oakland avenue, hal
capacity for 5000 guests, and tn,
rates are 81 to $1.5O per day, European
and 81 to $3.50 per day on the Amer
lean plan. The Kenilworth, on Yves

Of $1.50 per day.
The above mentioned are few Of tn,
new hotels that have been erected neal
the Exposition grounds for the accom-
mediation of Worlds Fair visitors. Al
told there are about twoscore. All arr
within easy walking distance, and al
are situated on high ground, with com
| prehensive views of the grounds. Al
of the structures are well built, and il
some of them the most luxurious quar-
tiers are obtainable. The rates are es
tablished and will not be increased dur
ing the Exposition.

Becker Must Pay Fine.

The appellate court has affirmed
the judgment fining William Becker,
railroad conductor, for blocking a
street crossing in Peru with some
freight cars while switching them to
make up a train. 1t was urged that
prosecutions in such cases would ma
verialIy interfere with the work of the
railroad, but the court held that this
was an argumen6 to be addressed to
the legislature and not to the courts.
