PRICES TWENTY YEARS AGO
What 300 Bushels of Corn WnrM
 Buy Then and Now

The St. Louis Lumberman gives
 an interesting illustration to shqV the increased buying power of thh farmers today as compared wxMh twenty years ago. A Missouri fms- mer, it says, went to a general stOrs to buy buggy. The price of tte buggy he wanted was s90. The fts- mer objected that his father tw0uy years ago had bought one just hbe 4 for S60 and with better methods <r turning them out he should not hsre. to pay more. Fortunately, here wIs one of the few merchants who keFe records and he hunted up his Iedgsr of twenty years ago and found th<f the father had not paid cash but fDaA turned in 3$$ bushels of corn fos n $60 buggy. The merchant then turz- ed to the son and said: "DeliveT V me 300 bushels of corn and l wan give you in return a $90 buggy. h $75 wagon, $20 suit of clothes, s $20 dress, a $5 baby dress, S5 criA $10 worth of sugar, $13 worth of tea, $100 worth of gasoline and $fS worth of lubricating oil, total of $453 as the present value of ths& many bushels of corn. As theh fz~- mer was not setting up store oe hsa own, he decided to pay cash for ths buggy.-Credit Mems Bulletin.

Former President Succumbs to Rheumatic Attack Which Had Given Him Much Trouble
 for Nearly a Year.
RECENTLY LEFT HOSPITAL.
Theodore Roosevelt Typified the High est Americanism-A Bitter Foe of War, He Won Fame Both as War rior and Peacemaker-Won Nobel Prize for Work in Russ-Jap Conflict

Oyster Bay, \. Y.-ColoneI Theodore Roosevelt died suddenly at 4 o'clock a. m. at his home, Sagamore Hill, Oys- ter Bay, from an attack of rheumatism, with which he was stricken several months ago. He passed away in his sleep and was found dead in bed by Mrs. Roosevelt, who had quietly enter ed the bedroom to see how he was resting .... .-.. ..t-
 Although it was net believed that the colonel's illness would prove fatal, he suffered severe attack Of inflam- matory rheumatism on New Years day, which caused him intense pain and which gave his family no little concern. He suffered greatly and re- tired an hour before midnight in the hope of getting a much needed sleep to alleviate the pain.
 Mrs. Roosevelt, after hastily ~um- mOning a physician, telephoned word of the former Presidents death to his cousin, Colonel W. Emlen Roosevelt, and to his secretary, Miss Josephine Stricker, in New York. Telegrams were Immediately sent to the colonePs children, who are scattered in all parts of the world.
 Two of the colonel's sons are still on the other side of the Atlantic, Lieuten- ant Colonel Theodore, Jr., serving with the American army of occupation in Germany, and Captain Kermit Roose- welt, still with the air service in France. Captain Archie, who several months ago returned from France se- riously wounded, left with his wife for Boston the night before to visit the captains wife's father, who is i'll there. Mrs. Ethel Derby, daughter, and her two children are in Aiken, s. c.
 Nation Learns of Death.
 Not long after word of Colonel Roosevelt's death was received tele- grams of sympathy and consolation be- gan pouring into the Roosevelt home at Sagamore Hill, and later in the day messages came from all parts of the country to which the news was flashed.
 The former President returned to Oyster Bay on Christmas day to cele- brate the Yuletide with those members of his family who were in this .coun- try. He had spent several weeks in Roosevelt Hospital, where he had un- dergone treatment for the rheumatic attack which resulted in his death. On the day of his discharge he cheerily told the reporters who greeted him at

GERMAN TROPHIES
May be Sent to Connecticut's 16S
 War Bureaus

All of Connecticut's 168 war bureaus have been informed by the Connecticut State Council of De- fense to advise the Council ifnme- diately if German trophy is de- sired.
 The Defense Council has been in- formed that the Ordnance Depart ment is planning to bring to this country a large number of captured German trophies, and that it will be possible to obtain some for Connec- ticut. The Defense Council points out to war bureaus that it is quite essential that any town desiring anything of this sort shall say so without delay, so that the Council may put in the request within few days.
 The notice of the possibility of getting trophies has gone to all the states, and the first applications reaching Washington will have the best chance of being favorably acted upon.

K. of Torring- ton in the fifth military district; the Norfolk, and New Hartford compa- nies of the Ninth separate battalion of infantry; the Litchfeld and Wash ington companies of the 10th separ- ate battalion; the Cornwall, Sharon and Falls Village companies of the 11th separate battalion; the Water bury, Middlebary and Woodoury companies of the 18th separate bat talion and the First separate platoon of cavalry and 11th, 18th, 18th and 14th companies Of the state guard reserve.

SKETCH OF RoosEvELT's CAREER

Theodore Roosevelt was born just off Fifth avenue, Manhattan, New York city, October 21, 1858, the son of Theo- He came of Dutch and Scotch-Irish an- .castry~a Many of his ancestors had achieved prominence in American his tory. Especially in the development of New York city they had figured.
 Theodore Roosevelt, father of the Progressive leader, accumulated a for tune in the glass importing business. During the Civil War he obtained the passage of bill to aid in sending the pay of soldiers to their wives and later helped discharged soldiers to procure employment, organizing bureau for this purpose. He founded Roosevelt Hospital. From him the younger Roosevelt inherited his love of outdoor sports.
 When a boy, like most boys, Theo- dore Roosevelt read lively tales of ad- venture and was fired with the ambi- tion to become a mighty hunter. To acquire constitution suitable for ex- ertiOn he boxed, swaln, took long walks and runs, rode horseback and practic- ed dumbbell and other exercises with the greatest regularity.
 Educated under private tutors, he entered college at eighteen, and there made record for the extensiveness of his reading more than anything else. He was indefatigable in acquiring new information. He also boxed a little and taught Sunday school class until he was put out for giving a dollar to q boy who punched another boy for pinching the sister of the first boy.
 Writes History at Twenty-three.
 Concluding from his reading in his tory that the War of 1872 was treated unjustly both by American and British writers, he examined thousands of original documents with great care and wrote an account called "The Naval Operations of the War Between Great Britain and the United States, 1S12-1S15," which was printed when the author was twenty-three years old. Even English critics recognized the impartiality of this history, and as a result he was asked to wri+e the chapter on the War Lf 1872 in a great semi-official work on the Royal Brit ish Navy.
 Graduating from Harvard in 1880, he read law and later studied and travelled for a year in Germany. | He returned in 1881 and plunged into New York city politics, campaigning for a reform administration and bet ter cleaning of the city streets. He was elected to the state assembly from the Twenty-frst District.
 After fighting unnecessarily for James G. Blaine, whom he had op- posed in convention as chairman Of the state delegation to the national Republican convention in 1884, he re- tired to his ranch In the Bad Lands of North Dakota.
 Nominated without his knowledge by a convention in New York in 1886 for the office of mayor and later in- dorsed by the regular Republican or ganlzation, he left his wilderness and entered the political arena to argue for separation of municipal from state and national politics. He was defeated.
 After this election was decided Mir. Roosevelt went to London, where he married for the second time.. His first wife. Mrs. AHse Hathaway
