FOOD PRICES TO STAY HIGH, SAYS

H 00 S I ERF ARM E R No Reason Why Farmers Should Suffer and Others Benefit Declares Taylor. INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 8. The farmers of Indiana intend to demand high prices for food products as long as the prices of other things are high. Lewis G. Taylor, secretary of the Indiana Federation of Farmers' associations, said Wednesday in explaining, organi zation's telegram to President Wilson1 in wnicn the federation says that if the strike of the railroad shopmen continues it serlouslly contemplates adviBing its members to hold all farm products until the strike ends. "The railroad men are asking for more money," Mr. Lewis said. "They are striking to obtain more money and this strike causes the farmers to lose money. Hogs dropped (1 on; the Indianapolis market yesterday because purchasers could not obtain cars to ship them. Is it fair that the farmer should suffer and others benefit by strikes?" Taylor said he does not believe in revolution and violence but in a proper adjustment of prices that would be fair to all. Want Square Deal "I believe the farmer should have his rights the same as other men." he said, "and the farmers of Indiana are for the first time in a postlon' to assert their rights. When strikes and other conditions cause the price of other things to go up, the farmer will assert his rights. We are demanding only a Bquare deal." Taylor said he could not undersand why the farmer should be "kicked around" to benefit persons of other occupations. "They are trying to force food prices ? ,,7., . , Beem,t ,;f is little effort to force the price of ! binders and other farm machinery and all the other things that farmers must buy. We are told that the prices of shoes and clothing will advance 100 percent. Farm machinery dealers tell us to look for an increase. Why should we reduce our prices when our costs are greater?" Taylor said he favors a reduction in prices. He expressed the opinion that prices of necessities and labor should come down together. On Same Basis "Let's not try to force one thing down and another up," he said. "Let's get a representative of each industry and of each line of labor around a table and reach an agreement whereby everybody will bring down costs." Taylor paid he did not believe this to be an idle dream or simply an ideal which could not be accomplished. He eald he believed this theory could be put into practice, "without running to; congress. The farmers' secretary expressed the opinion that congress has been listening to no one but railroad men and other laboring men "who have been holding a club over our law making bodies." Taylor said he believed his telegram to the president came as 6ome thins: of a surprise because the pubio did not believe the farmers were in a position to assort their rights. He said that this policy is in line with that of farmers' organizations in other states. The Indiana Federation of Farmers' associations was organized last spring, but it has grown so rapidly that it has become one of the most powerful organizations of its kind in the middle west.

"GRANDMA" KEEVER, 96 , OF FOUNTAIN . CITY, REMEMBERS DAYS OF WOLVES

FOUNTAIN CITY. Ind., Aug. 8. ' Everyone in Fountain City knows "Grandma Keever", 96 years old, who is considered one of its oldest residents and has lived here all her life. Three miles north of the site now ocupied by the town, Mrs. Keever was born in 1823. She was reared on this farm, and has left the immediate community only for six years, when she jived in Centerville. during her young i womanhood. Afterwards she returned to Fountain City and there has remained. Small, with scant gray hair, and speaking in a faint, but cheery voice, "Grandma Keever" talked about a number of things. "I had very little chance for any education, because I had to stay at home and work and help take care of the younger children." she expained. "But the Lord helped me to read the Bible and that I have read every day since I first began. "You see, when I was a girl chil dren did lots of other thing3 beside. play, and little girls were not taught i to idle as I suppose some of them are nowadays. I can not say whether it has worked for the better or -worse. It depends a lot on the individual, I guess. Danger From Wolves "When I was- young we used to have to put our sheep in a great high !

Mild Winter Cause Of Garden Troubles Wesler The unusual number of bugs, worms and other pests which city gardeners have experienced this summer is due to the open weather we had last winter, thinks F. W. Wesler, garden supervisor. The cold of a cold winter reaches down to the bugs and worms and destroys them, but the winter last year let them all live. Thawing and freezing usually put the ground in good shape beside. In spite of these conditions the gardens are in splendid shape, however, he says. Now that parcel post service to Germany has been resumed by the United States, Milwaukee people are deluging the mails with sausages for relatives and friends in the fatherlands. AT AGE OE 1 5 FOUTS FOUGHT AT GETTYSBURG Is Now 72 But Feels Well and Strong Since Tanlac Ends Trouble. "I am now seventy-two years of age and during all those years I have nev er run across a medicine that I consider in a class with Tanlac," said W. H. H. Fouts, the well known retired building contractor, residing at 37 West Vine street, Canton, Illinois, in an interesting interview, recently. Mr. Fouts is a veteran of the Civil war and fought in the famous battlo of Gettysburg. He is very proud, and justly so, of the services he rendered his country In those trying days. Mr. Fouts is a man of unquestioned honesty and integrity and one of Canton's most substantial and highly respected citizens. He has lived there for over fifty years. "For almost twenty years," he continued, "I have suffered from stomach trouble and complications, such as headaches, gas on my stomach, palpitation of the heart, constipation and dizziness. I not only suffered dreadfully from these ailments, but for the past ten or twelve years I have had an awful seige of rheumatism and had reached the point where I never expected to be well any more. A great many people here know about the time my health went back on me and I got in such a bad shape I had to give un my business. My stomach was in such ! a condition that I could hardly retain anything I would eat and I would suffer like blazes with cramps and pains all through me. My heart would jump and palpitate so on account of the gas on my stomach that I feared I had heart trouble. At night I would almost smother and have to get right out of bed, feeling like I would never be able to draw another good, free breath. " "Why, before I got this Tanlac I had not been able to get a good night's rest in so long that I can hardly remember the time. I have had such awful rheumatic pains in my legs and such a drawing on my muscles that many a night I would just have to get up and walk about the room trying to get relief. But all is quite different with me now. A few weeks back I began taking Tanlac and now I am in as good shape as anyone could wish to be. Why, I am feeling as well as I did twenty-five years ago, when I was handling big building contracts, and I honestly believe I could go right out now and handle as big a job as I ever did and put it over with my same old time vigor. My stomach never bothers me any more and I never have a rheumatic para or an ache of any kind, and I sleep like a- log every night. In fact, I am feeling so strong and well that I have a mind to do some more building. I tell you a medicine that will fix a man of my age up sound and well, after he has suffered so long, is bound to be unusual. There is no word of praise too good for Tanlac." Tanlac is sold in Richmond by Clem Thistlethwaite; in Greensfork by C. D. Sornie; in Cambridge City by Mr. Dean House; In Pershing by Sourbeer & Rodenberg; In Centerville by Centerville Pharmacy, and In Milton by W. L. Parkins. Adv.

During the Civil war "Grandma" was living exactly where she is now, and she remembers clearly the passage of negroes through to the North through the famous Fountain City station on the underground railroad system. "They would slip them on and on a little farther each night," she said. "Oh, how many they did get through!" Mrs. Keever has a son over 70

years old, and daughter left of her family of eight. She has several grandchildren and a number of greatgrandchildren, she said. HOMES ARE BROKEN UP BY MOUNTING COST OF LIVING NEW YORK, Aug. 8. The breaking up of many homes, suffering among thousands of the city's poor and even death have followed in the wake of mounting prices in New York City, it was stated at the office of Commissioner of Public Charities Bird S. Coler today. There has been a sharp increase in i tho mimhor nf annHrntinna tnr finan. . ' f starvation. The exact figures for t. . t fow . w-r- nor .van. VY Sfl,r ht whPn thev are S?Lf

Parents of large families, unable to pay increased rents and buy food for many months, at the same time are begging the city authorities to care for some of their children, to save them from death by starvation. Mothers are bringing little boys and girls to the borough offices daily, asking for temporary commitments, in the hope that there will soon be some relief and that hey will be able to collect their families together again. Recent increases in the price of milk in New York have worked a great hardship among the poor. The city authorities say the increase in milk and food prices generally undoubtedly has been a factor in the deaths of many children from malnutrition. MAHRENHOLZ SURE OF TOTAL SUCCESS Evansville Man Confident Trutona Soon to Relieve His Troubles. EVANSVILLE, Ind., Aug. S. "I had to lay off from work recently but I'm going back on the job again next Monday morning," John Mahrenholz, residing in Benninghoff avenue, said recently. "I believe Trutona is going to entirely relieve me of my troubles," he added. "I've had a severe case of rheumatism for the past four or five1 years. My leg muscles would often cord up in knots as big as eggs under my knees. I had the same trouble with my collar J bone. Large lumps frequently formed i on my temples and hurt me so badly I couldn't bear to wear my hat. "I knew of several people who had I been benefited by Trutona and then I decided to try It. My improvement certainly has been rapid. The 'knotty' formations under my knees have dis appeared and the lumps on my tem ples don t bother me any more. I can wear my hat without pain now. I'm glad to publicly thank Trutona and 1 recommend it to all." Trutona is now being introduced and explained in Richmond at Thistlethwaite's drug stores.

of the federation say they have taken three factors into consideration. There are 218,000 farms' In the state and on this basis the money would be raised at the rate of $1 for each farm; on the larger farms a quarter of a mill on the assessed valuation of the farm lands and the third consideration was the prosperity and general conditions of the farm land. Lewis Taylor, secretary of the federation, has received from Joseph P. Tumuty, secretary to President Wilson, an acknowledgment of the receipt of the telegram of August. 4, in which the federation, threatened to advise all of its members to hold farm produce if the strike of railroad men continued.
