northern Indiana, and reports the out
look for the future as distinctly dis
couraging. He says that more than
so per cent of the wheat crop will not
be worth cutting, owing to the de-

Funeral of Mrs. Martha Hill
Held at Liberty, Tuesday

LIBERTY, Ind, April Fl. - The
funeral services of Mrs. Martha Hill.
rs years old, were conducted here
Tuesday afternoon, at the ME-. church
by Rev. E. l. Larue.
Mrs. Hill lived in Liberty for many
years About two months ago she
was taken to indianapolis where she
remained with her daughter, Mrs. DR.
C. l.. Clayton, until the time of her
death. Mrs. Hill had been in failing
health for more than 10 years, but
had only required constant care dur
ing the past few weeks. Interment
was made at the West Point cemetery.

Credit October "a, by 60 bushels of
wheat at 55c, $685.; balance due,
$4844.
If you should step into the same
mill today for flour and feed, you would
discover the following to be the pre-
vailing prices to consumers. Remem-
Der, that Abram Gaar was not a deal
er, and he paid consumers costs. In
stead of 70 cents, the price on bran is
now SO; middlings are not 80 cents
but 1915 and Haxall -four is 81 and
not $2.70 per 100 pounds. For the
grade of wheat Abram Gaar received
SO cents per bushel for, however the
farmer can today collect $2.75, which
lis something else again.
Admitting that Mr.. Gaar was en-
titled to ample credit, he would find
the rules governing flour and feed
transactions greatly changed. Flour
and mill stuffs are as nearly cash as Is
a gold dollar. No annual or semi
annual settlement goes now, though it
is only fair to say that in most cases
dealers will allow a good customer
ample time in which to count out the
money or to write a check. That comes
pretty close to being the extent to
which mills, elevators and feed men
now grant credit. '@yIW

BRAN 70 CENTS IN
1889, BUT SIS CENTS
BU. WAS WHEAT PRICE
BY WILLIAM r. sANBoRN

Original bill, the envelope mail
ed to Abram Gaar and postmarked
$50 p. m, Jan. 2, 1889, lies before US.
This interesting relic was mailed to
Mr. Gaar by Charles Carpenter, of a
local mill. 1t was a statement Of &C
count, covering purchases from Aug
ust. 1888, to the close Of that year. In
a comparison of the amount of flour,
wheat, bran and middlings a 10 dollar
note would buy then, and will buy now
the dollar of today looks much like the
dime of 1888, a time when nickel
was real money.
The penciled memoranda on the
face of the envelope was written by
Glenn Carr, who returned the old bill
to Mr.. Carpenter, and reads as fol-
lows: "Mr. Carpenter, look over en-
closed and deposit in waste basket;
thankful that we have all lived so
long"
Prices Then and Now.
The first item on the bill is dated
Aug. 81, at which time the price of
