prices will be felt throughout the

Judge Dearth's court and sentenced

to the Indiana Supreme Court was
taken by Miller and the decision was
later affirmed.
Feymer was placed in Jail on Feb
16, last, the court said, when Miller
appeared before Judge Dearth and
told him that sureties on Feymer's
bond wanted to be released.
"They are afraid he will run
away" Judge Dearth quoted Miller
as having told him at that time.
One Of the sureties on the bond
appeared in court Thursday and de-

Mrs. Feymer said that the name Of
Richard /. Ewbank. a brother OF

Of Approximately $4,000.

without being able to save much of

There was dance at the hotel
Wednesday night and it was after
midnight when the last of the guests
had departed. About o'clock, Ernest

and aroused it's only occupants. the
proprietor and his wife, and told them
the building was burning.
1t developed that the fire had start
ed on one of the upper floors and had
made considerable headway before it
was discovered. Lack of assistance of
trained firemen made it impossible for
neighbors who gathered to save any
portion of the structure, and but little
of it's contents. The origin of the fire
was undetermined, and loss was only
partly covered by insurance.
The fire did not spread to the pavil-
ion or other nearby structures. Mr..
and Mrs. Stonestreet were given tenn
porary accommodations at the home
of neighbors, and today they visited
the city, wearing borrowed garments,
to get new outfits of clothing.

Reason for Action.
"The occasion for the determination
Of a fair price arose from the fact
that the allied governments had con-
soidated their buying agencies into
one hand. and, through this buying
power over the surplus, controlled
the price of American wheat the mo-
ment that exports of the new crop
Should begin. The allied buying agen-
cies considered that they should not
pay more than $3.50 to $3.50 for
American wheat. They advanced the
argument that abundant wheat exist
ed in the Argentine and in Australia
at prices ranging from S1:25 to $1.5O
per bushel, and the further fact that
they had fixed the price to their own
farmers at about $3.50 a bushel; that
the only reason for purchasing Amerl
can wheat was to free allied SHIPS
from the long voyages to the soutn
ern hemisphere in order that the.
might carry American troops. ane
they, therefore. did not consider thai
they should pay in excess OF these
prices.

can farmers from this situation tha

Growth of Service. Rapid.

been rapid, particularly within the last
few years. Almost every city of any
size In the country has established an
airport and landing fields to accommo-
date air mail delivery. Thousands of
dollars are being spent by municipali-
ties kox this purpose. We observed
