By John F. Snow In settlement for Indian lands, the United States government was required to satisfy so far as possible, the conflicting claims made by various tribes to the same lands. In ceding the earlier tracts the Indians were permitted to reserve or retain certain lands and hold them as “reservations." These were later sold to the general government—and the.lndians who did not care to be governed hy the white man's laws were removed —along in the thirties —to the lands west of the Mississippi river. In September. 1802, certain tribes within the North Western Territory delegated to the chiefs —Little Turtle — Richardville —Winnemac and Topinepic —the power to act for them in the sale and transfer—to the general government lands daimed«by them —situated “between the Wabash and Ohio rivers.'' In the lands so sold and ceded were the “Miami Reserveration" situated southwest of Portland in Jay county. And the "Godfrey reservation" — on the Kalumoiiie river in Blackford county, situated northwest of what now is known as "Camden” in Jay county. The "Loblolly" country is situated in Jay and Adams counties, and is RETAIL PRICES FIX POWER OF FARM PRODUCTS Continued from page 1 section 4 dex numbers previously in use. Retail prices commonly lag behind wholesale prices in readjustin', iods. When prices are advar is usual for wholesale prices vance more quickly and more s than retail prices. When Prices Drop “The opposite happens in s of falling prices. In consequ,.vo the new index number system shows, for the early years of the post-war depression period, a smaller disparity between the prices of farm products and the prices of other goods than was shown by the old system. On the other hand, when prices are advancing the tendency is for the retail comparison to show less advance than would be shown by the wholesale comparison.” In June of this year the purchasing power attained by farm products was the highest since 1920. The index number was 93, with the base 100 representing 1910-1914. Corresponding

east of the Godfrey reservation. 1 The Godfrey trace or trail —as it • was known — crossed the northwest ■ part of Jay county and the southeast i part of Adams county. This trail—or ■ trace —crossed Wabash township. Blue Creek township and a part of Saint Mary's township—in its route to the Rivare reservation, in Baint Marys township. The Limberlost creek has its source about six or eight‘miles northeast of Portland, Indiana, and fpllows a general northeasterly course and empties into the Wabash river about a half mile east of the town of Geneva. Its only tributaries are Williams creek in Jay county and the outlet of the loblolly, originally a swamp tfbout four or five miles in length and from a half mile to two miles in width, is near where the Limberlost crosses V. 8. toad 27, south of Geneva. Near the south banks of the Limberlost creek, in section 28, in Wabash township, there is an Indian burial ground, from which in 1882-83. there were numerous skeletons exhumed, when gravel was taken for ballasting the Chicago 11 and Erie railroad. | From some of the graves were tak- ; en Indian trinkets, beads, etc., which i confirmed the opinion that the skeletons were of Indian origin. figures, based on the new system, are: j 99 for 1920; 75 for 1921; 1 for 1922; i 88 for 1923; 87 for 1924; 92 for 1925; I 87 for 1926; and 85 for 1927. In June the prices received for farm products were 145 per cent of the pre-war level, compared with 130 per cent a year ago. Among the contributing factors to ' ■> high cost of living on the farms June were: furniture and furnishes at 208 per cent of the pre-war; .aothing, 179 per cent; home building | materials, 171 per cent. * -O ( Babe Adams Wins Bethany, Mo. —(UJ?) — Babe Adams, former pitching star of the Pittsburgh Pirates, “struck out" his opponent in > the race for Democratic nomination for sheriff of Harrison cougty.
