GOT LESS FOR THEIR CROPS.
Decline Of About 7 Per Cent in Level Of
Prices Paid American Producers.

Washington, Nov. PA decrease OF
about III per cent in the level of prices
paid American producers for the prin-
cipal crops during October is noted by
the department Of agriculture. Exclu-
sive of cotton the decline was 81 per
cent. For the past six years the price
level has decreased during October 4.3
per cent. The department attributes two
causes for the unusual decline this year.
First to steady improvement on the
prospective yields during October; sec
ond, to the levelling downward resulting
from a transition from year of small
production and high prices to year of
large production and lower prices, not
ably in case of corn and potatoes.

number of people should descend upon a
school at the same time. Moreover, most
people have enough matters of their own
household or business to attend to, which
precludes the possibility of their visiting
school because of the conflict in the
hours OF those duties with those in which
school is in session. Those two things
serve to keep down the visitations to

an. community are not interested in the
progress of the school work, when, as a
matter of fact. they are very much in
