pounds per bushel under the standard
In regard to corn the outlook is not
so favorable. 1t is estimated that the
actual yield along the Western rail
road lines will be so per cent less
than was officially forecast. The early
crop turned out well, but locusts, hail
and drought accounted for the falling
of III the yield. The estimated ont
put of this grain available for eyport
is given by the Central Argentine rail
road at 100000 tons, while last wear
the same line gave for export 2,400, 000
tons. There is still a good deal of last
years grain on hand.
Altogether the situation in the Ar
gentine and South America generally
is rather ambiguous. With visible as
sets worth millions of dollars on hand
and with ready markets awaiting sup
plies, these perishable assets cannot
be forwarded or Hquidated for lack OF
freighters, This handicap is empha-
sized by the fact that under the in

They laid Billy Gostlin away yes
terday Afternoon in HE last resting
place. The short but beautiful
autumn day was welcoming twilight
as the mourners turning again to life
left the scene Of the obsequies. ana
Hammonds skyline was shot with
twinkling lights SO long had the serv-
ices been. when the white -pIumea
Templars double-hled down Holman
street.
1t seemed as if the friends who came
by hundreds upon hundreds yesterday
afternoon to pay their last tribute to
Billy Gostlin wanted to linger loving
~ over the dead and to have him with
them in clay If they couldn't IN flesh.
Hammond has seen few funerals like
it. 1t was a revelation to those even
who anticipated a huge gathering
For a solid block around the Gostlin
home was packed autos and mourners
1t was impossible of course to get into
the house. Friends came to pay their
last respects to Billy Gostlin from a
score Of different cities. Many or
them were men of wealth and affairs
who are seldom seen in Hammond
but their presence was no more solace
to the bereayed family than were the
humble and lowly who came from
cottage and the abode of the poor to
drop tear on Billy GostIin's coffin.
Flowers? Never were such floral
offerings seen here. The catzfalque
literally buried in them. They
were banked against the walls six feet
high. He loved flowers as he did chill
dren. did Billy Gostlin. and a
boutonierre was necessary or he never
would have thought himself properly
attired. And he lay among them and
there was peace on his face.
The services were very simple but
beautiful. Mrs. Ida Bomberger sang.
Abide With Me-" the Cardinal New
man verses that twist the human soul
at funerals and the exquisite Plains
Of Peace" Rev. John c. Parrett of the
First Presbyterian church prayed and
read words OF comfort from the scrip
lures. He spoke briefly OF the dead
man and the lesson OF his life and
then Mr.. A. Murray Turner. between
whom and his dead associate there has
been a Damon and Pythian affection
for a quarter OF a century, voiced his
love for Billy costlin.
The Templars afterwards took
charge of the services and the beauti-
full Commandary ritual was carried
out il full. As the pall-bearers car
ried the remains ont of the house 10
the hearse between the two rows OF
rempIars with swords presented heads
were barred and tears fell from many
trembling Ups.
It was one OF the most remarkable
funerals ever held in Hammond and
will long be graven on the memories
Of those who witnessed it.
