When a person hears of the prices which farmers are receiving for their products, they are astonished, and even farmers themselves are surprised at the difference between what a horse, cow, hog or sheep brings as compared with prices of twenty years ago. One thing which is likeiy to be overlooked in such comparisons is, the great improvement made in stock recently. All kinds of stock are much better from every standpoint than formerly. Any day that a person may make the rounds of the hitch racks and liyery stables in this city, lie will be amazed at the high standard of horses, raised and used by farmers. The difference in price is Jargely a difference in quality of Jiorses. That being the case the prices of horses under normal condition will remain much as they are now. This fact should stimulate, not only the raising of good hoj ses, but the further development of the quality of horses.

Orr & Steele had a car load of hogs on the market at Indianapolis Tuesday.

Miss Bertha Wiggins, of rural route pix, was shopping,in Indianapolis Wednesday afternoon.

Charles Schuh, an attorney, of Indianapolis, was in Greenfield Tuesday. He is a Hancock county boy who is making good in his profession at the Capital City.

The Greenfield business men report that the holiday trade was surprisingly good today. The home merchants were certainly well prepared to supply the Christmas trade. Never in the history of Greenfield were the business housed so beautifully decorated and attractive. We doubt if any city of its size in the state had better decorated stores. Even larger cities did not surpass it.

President Taft is said by his close iriends to be a candidate for the nomination of his party for President in 1912. He has made some moves recently which have been very popular with the people of the country. He is doing everything -within his power to secure legislation along lines Which he thinks would be good for the country, and is acting in such a way as to unite his party and put it in the best possible condition for the jnext national campaign.

pany of His Friends.

Lester C. Foster, a teacher in Brown township, was the host at a happy Christmas party at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Foster, in Blue River township Tuesday night. The Foster home was beautifully decorated. The dining room was especially attractive and unique. The center piece was a manger filled with evergreen, the cloth glistening with snow, while red stars attached to green ribbons scattered irregularly over the cloth, led to the manger from which tiny cards were drawn as favors. The corners of the red and green streamers led to the large star directly over the manger. Red and green candles and a tiny Christmas tree adorned the sideboard. The parlor was decorated in Christmas wreaths, bells and ribbon streamers.

The refreshments were served in two courses, one being ice cream and cake and the second in the nature of a Dutch lunch. Considerable fun was created by ordering from the following menu: Staff of Life Jew's Dislike

Loves Token Crystal Clear Polly's Delight Two Little Coloniols Child's Joy
