sist in the training of the other stu
dents. 1t is understood that ar
rangenents are being made to equip
the student body with regulation

mated that it cost the people of the
State not less han $4,000 to $4,000
to hold this primary, although the

rs PERCENT SINCE WAR

WASHINGTON Feb. 16.-Aver-
age wholesale prices have increased
10 per cent since the world war
began, according to a review made
public Friday by the bureau of la
Dor statistics. Most of the advance
has been within the last two years.
From January to December of
1917 the wholesale prices of farm
products increased SO per cent, food
% per cent. clothing 2S per cent
lumber Z per cent. drugs so per
cent, house furnishing goods 81
per cent. Almost the only relief
afforded the householder was 10
per cent decrease in fuel and light
ing. Metals and metal products de-
creased five per cent.
Retail prices have huctuated at
a relatively lower level than whole
sale prices. Dressed poultry and
graduated sugar only of IS import
ant foodstuffs, show a larger per
cent of increase in the retail than
in the wholesale prices.

jury together for an investigation Of
moral conditions in Muncie, Judge
William A Thompson of the circuit
court Friday afternoon, called the
grand jurors before him in open
court and publicly discharged them
because nc believed that no good
faith efforts would be made 10 re-
turn indictments The action of
Judge Thompson came like a bomb
from a clear sky. The trouble is said
TO be between Judge Thompson and

Judge Thompson said:
From the information that has
come 10 the court, the court has rea-
son to, and does believe that there
viii be no good faith efforts made
TO return indictments at this time
against some of the classes of promi-
nent violators of the law. We will
have another grand jury in about
six weeks from now and the atmos-
phere may clear up in the mean
time and these matters can then be
investigated"
In making his charge to the grand
jury when il convened, Judge
Thompson asked that the grand
jurors make a complete investiga-
ton Of law violations and particu-
larly of gambling. He declared that
the gamblers driven out of Indiana
polls and Terre Haute were having
easy sailing in Muncie. Judge
Thompson would make no comment
on his action in discharging the jury
except TO say that another grand
jury soon would take up the inves-
tigation that he wants made.
