being perpetuated by a powerful American organization known as the American Legion. . This great assoclation including in its membership hundreds of thousands of patriotic yvoung men who entered the service of their country nszg\ patriotic. daty wi'l see to it that the inspired words of the dead poet who wrote of Flanders Fields will remain fresh in the minds and hearts of their countrymen. Enemies of our government will find in the American Legion an insur-| mountable barrier to their aims and peculiar ambitions. Banded togeéther as they are two million strong, in the flush of youth and enthusiasm, these young men will see to it that American blood was not spilled on foreign soil in vain. S , * Ligonier -has a post of the’greati order. It fs not as large in member-| ship as it should be, but it is strong in patriotic ferver. It is along with its associate camps a guarantee of freée government and unrestrained opportunity to all whose aim is right. Ligonier ‘Post American Legion suffers a handicap in financial resources and some means must be devised for relief. The former service men who are- struggling to establish themselves on a solid fotting are not begars but they have a right and do ex: pect the public to give them the support they deserve. : . When these boys left for the training camp they were followed by the hope of thec ommunity that they might return robust in body and mind and there was no thought at that time but to back them up to the limit. They did not all come back. Some are sleeping in foreign lands and some res: among our dead at home. Those who did come back must not- be forgotten nor neglected. We can do nothing for the| dead but we can and must do something for the living and realizing -this several citizens of Ligonier haye interested themselves in a movement to help finance the Ligonier post. It is a worthy object and will receive sup-

have the matter in charge and these gentlemen will no doubt formulate‘ some plan which will bring about the| desired result. il The Banner believes in unreseveredly supporting the Ligonier Post American Legion and stands ready to do its full share in any manner de-i cided upon. : ;] We must not forget “Flanders Fields” and what it means and teaches.

[ BEARDSLEY TALKS TURKEX Says Indlanapolis Attempts te Dom. ~ Inate State and Evade Taxation State” Senator A. H. Beardsley ropublican, of Elkhart, who was tie only senator to vote against the proposed soldiers memorial, to be erected at an approximate cost of §3.260.00 to the taxpayers of the state, explained hig opposition to the encasure while home from INdiapapolis over the weeK-erd, - s : The senator said that a mujority of w'c fellow lawmakers at firet uppar: ently had loen opposed to *h - miemorfal bill as it was constirvied, buc through-the influence of an aggressive and powerful lobby which was balent-‘,l !y interested almost solely In the capstal city's wellare'they wore gradually woen o . o “

~“They succumbed to "the influernce of the measure 8 proponen:s,” he said, “particularly because of the fear that they woul incur the disfavor of the American Legion, in spite of the fact that many of them had heard from home to the effect that if there were any memorials to bé built, their constituents favored erecting them i the communities throughout the state which furnished the fighting men and the fighting dollars, instead of concentrating an -enormous sum in the building of a massive structure in Indinoapolls. - : “Indianpolis apparently is out t>» dominate the entire state,” he continued, * and this is fully demonstrated by the fact that the senate legalizing tax bill, as it!was drawn, was clearly an attempt on the part of Marion county to dodge an assessment on $350.000,000 which the state tax board had ruled it sheuld be required to pav.

At Their old Tricks.

The country ring sale is on easct of Goshen. A party stopped at Frank Krng's today, who had been intercepted by a plain looking farmer, whose cows had broken out of the pasture. He had found a ring with a glittering stone, which he believed was a purc diamond. He had no use for “the thing” in his family, and believed he would sell it. The gentleman of course was looking for a bargain ard a svcker at the same time and beat the country man down- to ten dollars for a supposed five hundred dellar diamond. It proved on examination by Mr. Krug to be worth only fifty cents. —(bshen News Times. L

The same chap tried to work the old gag near Brimfield on the Blazed Trail. Whether he caught any suckers is unknown. : a

Another Graft.

The Indiana republican legislature could not pass a “blue sky” measure without attching political graft to it. The measure as signed by Gov. Goodrich provides for the appointment of three extra clerks in the secreatry of states office, salaries of $B,OOO, $l.8000 and $1,500 a year, In other words it costs the tax pxers 6,300 a year. But it furnishes jobs for three more of Gov. Goodrich's political friends.

Wheat Prices Drop.

Lyon & Greenleaf yesterday paid $253 for No. 1 wheat -and $2.50 for No. 2 Red. The price of wheat has taken a big drop just as the new crop is coming in..

T Sl In Session. ° : . After several days wrangling over the enactment of tax legislation the special session of the Indiana legislature adjourned Wednesday afternoon to meet Thursday morning at ten o'clock.. The delay in adjournment icaused over a disagreement in tax legislation proposed by Gov. Gapdrich and endorsed by the lower house and members of the senate headed by Lieutenant Governor ° Bush. Goodrich’'s bill would legalize the illegal horizontal tax raises made by the state board of tax = commissioners. The senate bill would seek relief in another and presumably legal way. -

The dispute is not between democrats and republicans but between factions of the majority party.

They were bartered for other needs. : :

- Cows sold from $6 to $8: a horse, $25; pork was worth $1.15 per. 100 pounds—the figures being given:from an early agricultural report. During the war of 1812 prices were augmented considerably but there<was but little communiecation or transporfation from cne portion of the state to another, so that the increase in prices benefited only a =mmall proportion of the producers. : .

At that date the indispensable article salt sold for $lB a barrel at ports on lake Erie, while flour was worth only $3 a barrel.. Farmers troughout Stark . Wayne, Portage an& other wheat producing counties in, that vieinity would leave their “log cabins"” on Monday morning with six or seven tarrels of flour for Cleveland and return on Saturday night having exchanged the flour for a single barrel of salt. »

_An industry mentioned as “most important” was distilling. In 1820 cash was paid for wheat at only six different points; there was no demand for corn or rye as a cereal. But if ‘they could .be converted into whisky, it could be shipped to some point and sold for cash. : - Even in 1825 the Cincinnati market quotations were: Corn, 15 cents; iron $1.25 per ton; pork, $6 a barrel; butter, 6@6 cents; salt, 95 cents a bushel, and whisky, 17 cents a gallon.—Clarence M.
