bringing them to tar lower normal
price levels.
The second reason can hardly be con
sldered seriously as an influence which
can have anything but a temporary
bearing on sugar quotations. Should
the effect Of the large European crop
be discounted on sugar stocks. the lat
ter are almost certain to find them
selves undervalued at the openinp of
the next campaign on the plantations
The announcement of the bumper crop
obscures for the moment the fact that
the consumption of sugar is increasing
at enormous bounds, with nations
adopting it that previously never look
ed upon 1t. The consumption per per

peen long accepted as a staple is also
shown to have increased by official
i hgures, and the greatly increased crops

! The third reason is. of course. more
worthy of consideration, for sugar that
sold at 40 during the year has its
effects on all markets when it drops TO

does not portend overproduction or any
glutted market. If any slump follows

Among the men who brsved the dangers
Of hunger, flood and Indian forces to serve
a few families in this parish was the late
Father Dexacher OF Omaha noted mis-
sionary priest.
The father, Henry Harstick died In the
year 1880 leaving Mrs. Harstick with three
surviving children, all Of whom are now
aged men and women. Besides her three
surviving children, Mrs. Harstick is the
grandmother OF twenty-five and the great
grandmother of over fifty children, her
descendants numbering a little over one
hundred. Among her grandchildren Is Will
liam H. Harstick, the present county clerk
of Cunning county. She is in full possession
of her mental faculties as well as possess
sing unimpaired physical strength. To all
appearances she bids fair to live for many
years longer She makes her home with
one OF her grandchildren, near the old
homestead, where she spent over fifty
years OF happy life. She occupies her
time principally in knitting and spinning
for her numerous descendants. She is in
excellent health, in fact, better than when
she celebrated her Tooth birthday The only
thing indicating her extreme age is slight
dimness Of vision.

with roses. She Ia pioneer Of the state,
came here when this region was a wilder
ness and took her share OF the burdens in
the days when the foundations were laid

Mrs Harstick was born March 25, 1903, at
Steinburek, Hanover, Germany For nearly
fifty years she resided in the fatherland

children. pursued the even tenor of life
The spirit OF unrest, however and the lure
Of the west so common to the German peo-
pie Of that generation, impelled the little
family to seek their fortunes in the land
across the sea, and In the year 1854 they
landed on the shores Of America with their
small possessions. The first settlement
made by this family was at Dubuque, Ia,
where they resided until the year 1880
AZ this time, hearing wonderful stories
OF the fertility and golden promise OF the
new territory Of Nebrask, Mr.. and Mrs.
Harstick journeyed to this tate. They
settled at what was at that Cine the out
post OF civilization. locating on the virgin
prairie in what is now St. Charles town

time to be one of the wealthiest and most
highly improved townships of farm land
In the state of Nebraska This family
was almost the first settlers Of this town
ship and during the first twenty years
following the settlement they took a lead

their new home. They were among the
few faithful ones who feeling the need
of spiritual instruction built the now his
