Rise on London Market Attri.
buted to Chicago Influence.
Alleged Due to Conspiracy of
Germans in America.

London, Aug. 15.-Chicago infIu-
ences are regarded here as largely re-
sponsible for the remarkable rise in
wheat prices in the English markets
during the last few days.
From the point of view of the Brit
ish household, the position is serious
and it is stated that it is not due to a
lack of grain, but chiefly to the de-
sire in America to amass wealth by
exploiting the consumer.
The opinion was even expressed on
the London market that the movement
is the result of a conspiracy on the
part of COMMUNICATIONS in Chicago
to force the prices as high as possible
in the British market.
a prominent corn merchant, refer
ring to the rise in prices, said today:
with the stocks held in America
after the crop of last year, such an
advance as we experienced was not an
ticipated. The whole thing seems to
be engineered in America for the pur-
pose of forcing up prices.
I'VE know that the American
spring wheat has been damaged. To
what extent. 1 do not know and it is
doubtful whether in America it can
be accurately stated, but the report
that it would be seriously depleted by
black rust is sufficient for the specu-
lator. The aim would appear to be
to take advantage of the market for

GOLDEN WEDDING

The fiftieth anniversary of the
of Miss Elizabeth Elton
and Mr.. George keighard was cele-
brated at their pleasant home in Swan
Creek township, four miles south
east of Delta, Sunday. 1t was on
the evening of April 9, 1866 that
this young man and lady, on horse
back, rode through the woods to
the home of the late Charles Blake,
the country Squire of Swan Creek
township, three miles away, to have
the solemn vows of matrimony re-
corded. The entire distance was
through dense forests, save here and
there a clearing made by some
pioneer. There was not a carriage
in the township. Stone roaos, the
automobile, the electric car and the
telephone were things unheard of by
those pioneers.
This youth and maiden were chill
dren of neighboring pioneers. They
knew what hardships these early
settlers had to endure, yet they cast
their lot with them and founded a
home "a plain, lowly, one-roon
pioneer house which they rented-neal
their parental homes, and with brave
hearts and the visions of youth lead.
ing them on they turned their faces
toward the rising sun and through
sunshine and storm, through adver.
sity and prosperity they have con
tinued together, sharing each others
joys and sorrows. They contributed
their full share towards clearing away
their forests and converting the
swamps into fields of growing grain
forcing back the ague from the boun
daries of this county forever. II
making public improvements, III
founding public schools, in establish
ing churches and in elevating. socia
conditions they have been in tn,
front ranks toiling upwards. Thes,
two, now. pioneers, have always liv
ed within one mile of the place where
they started life together a half cen
tury ago.
Into their home came six children
Frank H. of Wauseon, Dell c., Mrs
D. E. Gill, Royal c., Bert A., ant
Mrs. Roscoe Dunbar. For nearl,
forty years this family circle wa
unbroken, but in 1910 death calle,
Dell C. from labor to rest leaving
wife and daughter. These childrel
and eleven grand children are al
residents of the county, most of ther
living near the parental home.
To aid in celebrating the golde
wedding of these pioneers nearly
hundred relatives and neighbors as
sembled at their home Sunday. o
the groom's family three brother
are left: Henry, of Delta, Robert VIII
lives on the home farm, and Georg
the youngest being seventy years Q
age ard the oldest seventy-six. O
the brides family but three remain
Elizabeth, Mrs. o. l.. Miller, nea
Liberty Center, and Charles Elto
who lives on part of the old HON
farm.
Many valuable and useful present
were left as slight tokens of respec
and esteem in which these pioneer
are held. Best wishes and congratr
lations were showered upon them an
it is hoped that they will be permit
ted to spend many more happy year
together.

ANNUAL TAX ASSESSMENT.

The nineteen tax assessors OF Full
ton county were called to the court
house last Monday to receive blanks
and instructions from the county
auditor Mr.. w. w. Ackerman who
has charge of the annual assessment
for tax valuation.
Mr.. Alderman outlined the law
relative to the listing of property for
taxation and impressed upon the as
SCISSORS their duty in scrutinizing the
lists returned and impressing the
fact upon those making returns that
their signatures to the list constitute
an oath which the assessor must ac-
tually administer.
The law provides that where per-
sons refuse to list property or list
ing refuse to be sworn the assessor
must himself return the property at
its true value. indicating on the re-
turn the refusal to list or to be
sworn. The auditor is required to
add so per cent. to the value so re-
turned by the assessor.
Taxes on real estate and other tan
gible property are already high
enough if all moneys in possession OF
on deposit, notes, mortgages and etc
were given in the tax rate would be
greatly lowered.
The great discrepancy between the
amount of money reported by the
banks as on deposit and the amount
returned for taxation has led the Law
makers to make taxation laws more
stringent than ever before and Audi
tors are required to investigate al
cases of suspected failure to list sucl
intangible property and where pro
perty is discovered that has not beel
listed the Auditor is required to adj
so per cent. to its true value.
The assessors for the county whit
has begun their work this week ar
as follows:
A. C. Wright, Amboy; C. W. Car
rell, Royalton; E. C. Beatty, Chester
field; w. H. Hibbard, Gorham; W. A

ADVANCE IN PRICES

The National Casket Company have |
sent out notices to the undertakers |
Of the country that further advances
in prices are inevitable, already prices |
in all undertaher's supplies have ad- |
vanced and the further advance is |
due to the constantly diminishing sup
ply OF raw materials. Undertakers |
have been accused of "holding up"
people in times when they are unable
to protect themselves; but our local
undertakers have not been guilty of
charging exhorbitant. prices except
as they in turn have been charged
high prices by manufacturers and
dealers who must themselves meet
the constant advances in prices of
materials which they use.
But undertakers are not the only
people who have been obliged to ad-
vance their prices and in consequence
be accused of trying to hold up the
public. There is not single line of
business in the country which deals
in articles of manufacture in which
there has not been an advance in
prices ranging from twenty-five to
several hundred per cent, the reason
for this is found in nearly every in
stance to be because of shortage of
raw material or in case of materials
and merchandise produced in foreign
lands, such as chemicals, dyes and etc.
no such materials and merchandise
being produced.
Paper dealers, printers, hardware
dry goods, clothing, drugs; all of
them are facing these same condi-
tions. The end is not yet, prices are
advancing from day to day, in many
lines, statesmen are being taken from
their territory or they are taking or
ders without making prices or prom
ises as to delivery of goods.
This condition is found in the
final analysis to be due to the Euro
pean war, and this unjustifed and
unjustifable event has created an
economic disturbance from which the
world will not recover for years.
The only remedies which appear, ir
this country at least are first, the
gance; the citizenship of this nation
can perform no more patriotic ser
vice than to practice economy in al
lines; waste in the present conditions
is crime All our National re-
sources should be carefully used
Every thing that may be used agair
should be saved and placed upon the
market in order that manufacturer:
may utilize it. paper, rags, metal o.
all kinds, should be saved. A cam
paign of economy along these lineI
should be carried on in all parts o.
the nation.
| The second remedy as we see it il
that the inventive genius of thi
country be directed toward the pro
duction of those things which we hav,
depended upon foreign countries t
supply.
i We have the brains, the genius, tn
materials and the resources to pro
duce these things for ourselves, an
if the capital and labor that are re
quisite to produce them may be ade
quately protected we will be able t
do for ourselves what we have beel
depending upon others to do for us
So long as our public policy is dom
mated by a maudlin sentimentalit
that permits the goods produced b.
underpaid and servile labor Of for
eign lands to compete in America
. markets with the we'll paid and self
respecting labor of free America
citizens, there will be little incentiv
for this last named remedy.
