TWO NIGHTS 1 LODGING COST BUTJUARTER Records of 1812 Disclose Other Prices at Vincennes. By Times Special VINCENNES, Ind., Aug. 12.—A half pint of whisky sold for 18% cents in Vincennes and a night’s lodging cost only 121-2 cents. That was in 1812, the year of the last conflict between the United States and Great Britain. The low prices are recorded in a book, part of the annals of Knox county, kept in the courthouse here. Proceedings of the county commissioners 115 years ago are shown in the book, including prices fixed on various articles and services and fees of officials. Not more than 37 1-2 cents could be charged for meals. Judges of courts were paid $2 a day and Sheriff Benjamin V. Beckes kept a certain pauper a year at a cost of only 537. The bounty on wolf scalps was a dollar.

Rum Buying Made Easy for Tourists in Canada

And the Price List! Read, You Old Timers—and Weep. Despite stories emanating from Westfield, Ohio, Anti-Saloon League headquarters, regarding the decrease in American tourist trade since Ontario, Can., went wet, many Hoosiers are and have been northward bound over the border.
