will yield to the Federal treasury
annually about $37, 900, 900. The

to old age. June 16, 1914, aged
81 years and IL days. When one
year old he moved with his par
ents by wagon to Ohio, locating
where the city of Dayton now
stands.
In 1889 they moved to Miami
Co., and in 1849 to Darke Co.,
where our subject has lived ever
since.
When Abraham was 16 years
of age his father was called home
thus leaving him to care for his
widowed mother. Through over.
work in clearing the heavy tim.
ber from the land he broke down
his health at 81. A years rest
restored his health.

reared from childhood to matur-
ity.
On November II, 1860, this

have enjoyed a happy Christian
life.
Since 1881 he has creditably
filled the Office of deacon.
He lived a quiet and industri-
GUS life, always heing better con-
T

1t afforded him much pleasure
to give literally for benevolent
purposes.
He was a kind father and a
dutiful husband, often sacrificing
his own comfort and pleasure to
comfort and care for an afflicted
side companion.
With his passing away the last
one of his generation has passed
away.
He was the last surviving un'

We have often heard whisky
referred to as ''bug juice" and
always supposed it was so called
because it was liable to send the
consumer to the bug house,"
However, it now has different
reason. Since corn has been
placed on the free list. distillers
have made immense importations
of Argentina corn, which is in
tested with a bug" known scien-
tifically as "calandra oryza.
There is about as much "bug" as
corn, and imbibers of whisky dis
titled from Argentina corn will
hereafter literally drink "bug
juice" This is one of the minor
blights of free-trade so far as
imbibers are concerned. The
major blight is upon American
farmers who are robbed of their
rightful market by free-trade in
farm products. American Econ

Many hosiery buyers, accus-
toned to make heavy purchases
in May and June, are in Germa-
ny seeking to make there the
purchases they usually make
here. They already have been
buying abroad in large quanti-
ties, for the hosiery imports in
March were 72.8 per cent great
er than in the same. month last
year. And the rush of foreign
goods has not really begun. The
German manufacturers, W h o
have not been catering to Amer
ican trade, are waiting to ascel-
tain whether the existing tariff
is likely to continue long enough
to make it worth their while to
buy the necessary machinery for
American styles. If the reduced
tariff should continue the Amer
ican hosiery business will be
practically destroyed, or there
must ensue a deep cut In wages.
