HIGH PRICES COME TO STAY
America Ceasing 20 Be Producing
Nation, Declares Clark.

Washmgton.-"The present high prices
for farm products have come to stay;
the rural population Is playing out; the
present census, If il classes the unincor-
porated villages as towns, will show be-
tween 60 and 65 per cent. Of population
living in towns" declared Representative
Champ Clark of Missouri, the minority
leader OF the house. AT the present
rate, in twenty years, the United States
will cease 20 be an exporting nation for
agricultural products, except as to cot
Ton.
One of the principal causes Of the
high prices OF farm products is the world
wide movement Of people toward towns
and cities. While a few people in towns
ana cities have gardens and raise chick
ems, and occasionally pigs, practically the
entire town and city population are non.
producers OF anything TO eat, but are
consumers only. For the first time, last
year, Argentina beat us in exporting
corn, and Argentina and Brazil are now
fighting TO take the frozen meat trade
from u.s."

MISS BELLE KINNEY WINS
Her Design for Memorial to Women
of South Selected.

Managua.-Recent reports that the
Americans, Groce and Cannon, were tor
tured before being shot are untrue. The
facts were in the possession OF the state
department at Washington a month ago,
and it was generally supposed that any
details of the tragedy had been given
publicity through official channels. As
it is, advantage has been taken OF the
opportunity in some instances to paint
a picture that was more interesting than
truthful.
The glory of Capt. Anibal Chayes, who
refused to obey an order to take COM
mand of the firing squad, is dimmed
somewhat by the light of known circum-
stances. Generals Toledo, Medina and
Iriasa had implored Zelaya to abandon
his purpose Of shooting the two Ameri-
cans.
Zelaya, however, could not be inhu-
enccd. and General Toledo finally or
dered Captain Chaves not to assume com
mand of the squad. Chaves chose 10
obey Toledo rather than the president
and as consequence was arrested and
held in Jail for six weeks. Upon his re-
lease Chaves made the most of the epi-
sOde.

New York.-Spcaking before the Eco

your farming methods are not changed

legislatures. As an alien / have no right

The system of agriculture in the Cen
trail West, or that part OF it settled
thirty years ago, was the most wasteful

not farmer, but land speculator. lie
went into the country knowing that the
land was sure to rise in value. So he
bought all the land he could get and
then robbed the land TO meet his obli-
cations until he could realize his eventual

The jaded city people of inherited wealth who find time heavy on their hands and themselves unable to take an interest in the routine affairs of life. might find it worth while to follow the example of d New York woman who has been amusing her self by giving working girls good time This woman confessed the other day to a suffrage convention that she had been in the habit of taking girls from the factories and stores. decking them out in fashionable fin cry and passing them off on her acquaintances as ladies of her set Several of the girls had succeeded in making such favorable impressions that the men who were smitten were quite willing to overlook the hoax when apprised of it, and it seems that some weddings are to follow.
