DIED
Frances Marian Bucknum
Audience

MARIAN
Mrs. C. D. Bucknum died Sunday
morning at 10 o'clock at local hospi-
tai. Her death came like thunder
clap out of clear sky, few knowing
that she was even i'll, and her passing
was a sad shock to the community.
Her demise was caused by peritonitis.
She went to the hospital Saturday for
an operation for bowel trouble, but the
cruel disease had done its work, and
she succumbed to blood poisoning.
Frances Marian Bucknum was born at
Harrisburg, Ore, November %, 1878.
There she grew to womanhood. Feb
ruary %, 1908, she was united in mar
riage to Claude d. Bucknum, and a
few years later moved to Emmett.
The husband and two children, Arlene
aged IA and Merle aged II, survive
her. She was a devoted wife and
mother, real companion to her hus-
band in business as well as in home
life, and that companionship was sing
ularly happy. The body was taken to
her old home at Harrisburg, Ore, on
Monday for burial. Short services
were held at the residence, conducted
by Walter Ashton, rector of the Epis-
copal church, the Alfalfa quartet sing
ing. The Red Cross, in which she was
an energetic worker, attended in
body, as well as many friends and

More Than $500 in Excess of
Quota and Subscriptions
Still Pouring In
How 1t Stands

Gem county has unloosed her purse
strings and poured her offerings into
the outstretched hands of the Red
Cross in a generous manner This
county had this morning exceeded its
quota 1857. Several precincts are yet
to make returns and individual sub
scriptions are still pouring in. 1t is
believed Gem county will double her
quota. Valley county, a part of this
district, with quota of $500, has
not reported yet. A telephone mes
! sage from Cascade stated that last
night subscriptions in that town
amounted to S418. The generous and
spontaneous response of the entire dis
trict is highly pleasing and Chairman
Dudley VanDeusen is happy.
Big Meeting Sunday
The drive opened Sunday with a
big meeting in Liberty theater, at
which two-thirds of Gem county's
quota was subscribed. The meeting
was preceded by parade. The line
of march was from the schoolhouse to
the theater. The place of honor was
accorded to the Grand Army veterans
and members of the Relief Corps-few
in numbers, but large in patriotism.
Then came the band with its service
flag containing u stars, the Red Cross
120 strong in their snow white gowns,
the Third Liberty Loan honor flag
borne by Morris Haylor, fraternal
societies, artistic and appropriate
floats by each of the four High school
classes and school children and citi-
zens. And over all Old Glory flashed
its red, white and blue all along the
line.
The theater was artistically decor
ated with flags and bunting, and over
the stage, the Stars and Stripes were
fanked by the flags of our allies. The
audience packed the auditorium to the
doors. Frank Knox presided The
speakers were Sherman Coffin and j.
P. Pope of Boise, and singing was
furnished by the Choral Union with
the band as accompanist, and the AL
falfa Quartet. At the close of the
the great crowd fell into
line and marched to the long tables
in front of the stage to make their
and twenty or more
clerks were kept busy handling the
funds.

Ola on Monday and Tuesday evenings.

PRICES JUMP IN rs YEARS
Wisconsin Farmer Makes Interesting
Comparison Between Prices in
1892 and Now.

Portage. Wis.-E. r. Studenmayer,
who has been engaged In farming in
this locality for the past quarter of a
century, has made comparison be-
tween prices prevalent in 1892 and
those of 1918. Here's what he found:
Hogs in 1892 were $3.50, now $16;
cattle $3.50. now SO; rye 40 cents. now
Sl.SJ; wheat 40 cents, now $500; po-
tatoeS 10 cents, now 81; butter IS
cents, now so cents; eggs s cents, now
- cents; cord wood $3.50. now $50;
bran SIS, now $40; hay 50, now so,
and oats y cents, now Is cents. The
farmer says these are only few of
the changes, and while agriculturistS
are obtaining decidedly better prices
than % years ago, they are compelled
10 pay more for what they buy.
