Potatoes, 10 cents a bushel.
These are not the prices of things
from the farm ten years ago, stuck
at the head,of the story to serve as a
contrast with, what your grocer is
asking you for these things today.
These are the prices a Chicago man
paid for these things this week.
R. G. ToOmbs of Toombs & Daley,

dealers, 4O5 Continental & CONNER

from his mother in Winfield, Kan,
today. In her letter to Toombs the
mother said she had bought the ap-
pIes-fine Jonathans- winfield
retail store for 75>cents a bushel.
The same kind of apples. are selling
in Chicago for SO a bUshel.
Toombs got eggs from Atlanta, Ill,
by parcel post, direct from the farm
and strictly fresh, for % cents "a
dozen. Guaranteed fresh eggs may
be had from 40 to As cents a dozen in
Chicago stores.
Mr.. Daily of the Toombs & Daily
firm yesterday received a letter from
friends in Montana saying the farm
ers were feeding their potatoes to
the hogs or letting them rot in the
ground because they couldn't st
enough for them to pay for hitching
I'D a team and hauling them to the

pose of pasturing his cattle on It.
The wheat did so well he decided to
let it grow and harvest it. Result:
He harvested 1900 bushels of wheat.
which he sold for $1,000. Another
farmer bought a half section of land
for SIS an acre and this years crop

ties were notified.
Fearing that they might get into

sold the girl for $4,000 to rich leader

to New York city. From there they
went to France, then to the lsthmus

back to the United States. About
three months ago the girl escaped and
was picked up by the Oakland au-
thorities on complaint Of the Marine
gypsies, and thus she was given an
opportunity to tell her story in court.
AS a result she was consigned to the
care of Matron Rich of the Oakland
detention home.
Gypsies Fight Case.
During her stay with the Marine
band Evelyn was beaten severely, and
to her pleadings for freedom she was
told that as soon as she earned the
$4,000 which they claimed to have
paid for her she would be allowed to
have an automobile and to 60 where

During the trial of the case. which
was bitterly fought. the gypsies
claimed that Evelyn was not Of sound

University of California and made
tests, showing that she graded 100

Helena, Mont.-When Evelyn Nit

nine years has been the slave of gypsy
bands in this country and the old
world, threw herself into the arms Of
her father, ranchman residing near
a Montana town, it was the first time

since the day Of the mothers funeral
in Helena nearly ten years ago.
NJ. L. Hickman. secretary of the

lection, escorted the girl to the ranch
from Glacier park, where he met her
in charge of Miss Georgiana Allen. q
Havre schoolteacher, who agreed to
chaperon the girl to Montana from a
house of detention in Oakland, Cal.
H. A. Davee, state superintendent of
public instruction, who was attending
the National Teachers association,
was besought by the Oakland authori-
ties to provide escort for the girl back
to Montana. The city paid her ex-
penses. Superintendent Davee learned
that Miss Allen, a teacher, was shortly
to come home, and the latter went to
the house of detention, where the girl
has been kept two months to guard
her against kidnapping by the gypsy
band from which she was taken.
There arrangements were made for
bringing her home, and the teacher
and the girl departed secretly from
San Francisco. embarking on a steam
er for Astoria, from which point they
went by train to Glacier park.
In Terror Of Band.
The necessity for keeping theil
whereabouts secret was urged by the
girl, who was in terror of being seized
by the band. She declared that she
was likely to be taken from a trair
by members stationed along the road
and on watch, hence the trip by steam
er was devised.
The history of the young woman
reads like a romance. For severa
years she has been trying to escape
from the gypsies, but. alone ant
friendless, she was given no opportu
nifty until about three months ago
when the Oakland officials secured
possession of her after desperate
fight in the courts. The Marine band
