WHOLESALE FOOD
 PRICES DURING 1914
Higher, With Exception of Three
 Years, Than in 37 Years

Washington, Jan. 1.-Food prices in the United States during 1914 were higher than at any time during the last thirty-seven years with the ex- ception of the years 1882 when they were four per cent. higher than 1914 prices, 1883 when they were on the same level and in 1912 when they were one per cent. higher. The bu- reau of labor statistics in it's annual bulletin just ikaed on wholesale prices of commodities reviewing the years from 1860 to 1914 discloses that in the fifty-five years food prices were highest in 1864 when they were sev- enty-six per cent. more than 1914 prices and lowest in 1896 when they were forty per cent. below.
 In the years of the Civil war and during a dozen years Or more after ward prices of all commodities were the highest since 1860 when the first attempt was made at keeping a rec- ord of wholesale prices In 1854 prices of most ommodities reached their highest point. Lowest prices were recorded in the years from 1894 to 1898.
 Effect of War.
 The effect of the European war on wholesale prices in the United States is not fully disclosed in the report as prices for only the first five months of the war are recorded. Comparison of Civil war prices with those prevail ing in this country during the Euro pean war therefore is not possible The Spanish-American war apparent ly had little effect on wholesale prices as they remained on about the same level as they had been in the period imm ediately preceding it.
 Farm products prices in 1914 were higher than they had been in the last forty-four years. As with food prices their highest point was reached in 1864 when eighty-five per cent. more than in 1914 and lowest in 1896 when fifty-six per cent. below.
 Clothes and clothing were lower in 1914 than during the previous year and were higher than at any time since 1884, when they were on the same level, except in 1907, 1910 and 1913. Their highest prices were in 1864 when 254 per cent. more than 1914 and lowest in 1896 and 1897 when twenty-five per cent. lower.
 Fuel and lighting prices were five per cent. lower in 1914 than in 1913 but were thirty-two per cent higher than the lowest point reached in 1894 and 120 per cent. below the highest point, reached in 1865.
 Metals and Products. <
 Metals and metal products were lower than they had been since 1905, being eight per cent. below 1913 prices. Their highest point was reached in 1864 when 1914 per cent. higher than in 1914 and lowest in 1898 when twenty-seven per cent. below 1914 prices.
 Lumber and building materials were four per cent lower than in 1913, eighty two per cent. below tn cir high est prices reached in 1864 and thirty eight per cent. above their lowest point reached in 1897.

FRESH ERUPTION ON
 ISLAND OF AMBRIM
Experienced Most Destructive Vol-
 CaniC Outbreak in DeC., 1918

l Correspondence of the Asso. Press Sydney, Australia, Dec. 14-Delayed l reports have brought news of a fresh volcanic outbreak on the island of Am brim, in the New Hebrides Group, a spot which experienced most de- structive volcanic eruption in Decem- Der 1913.
 The Rev. A. T. Waters, a missionary stationed on the island of Oba, about sixty miles from Ambrim, writes that on the first few days of October last smoke and volcanic ash clouded the sky so thickly that the sun gave only a weird light like the moon, and it eventually became so dark that the people on Oba had to light lamps. Everything became gritty with ashes indoors, and @out-of- doors they were so thick that the sea could not be seen from the Mission house, which ordinarily afforded a fine view of the water.
 Panic Among Natives.
 Thehe was for a time some panic among the natives of Oba who thought one of the mountains on their own is- land was in eruption but the source of the trouble was later traced to Am brim and it appeared as though the eIClTS 1Slduu WdS The H1lS- sionary's letter did not say that any one ventured to visit Ambrim during the eruption, and the extent of the damage or loss of life, if any, is un- known.
 The previous eruption at Ambrim, in December 1913, was reported to have cost the lives of 500 natives, and to have completely altered the face and coast line of the island. Accord ing to the natives of Oba the recent trouble appeared to have been still worse than the previous eruption.
 Little Known of Interior.
 Little is known as to the interior of Ambrim, which has been visited but rarely by white men. No census has ever been taken, but among the coast settlements there are a number of mission stations, mainly Roman Catholic and Presbyterian, whose members had a narrow escape in the previous eruption.
 The New Hebrides islands have been controlled since 1906 by a joint commission of British and French of ficials under the supervision of two resident commissioners, one appoint ed by each nation.

Panama, Jan. 1.-F'isherme on the .Isthmus have completed the organiza- ton of the Canal Zone Tarpon club. It will have a clubhouse of it's own not far removed from the Spillway at Ga .tun which is the sire of the club mem sberss sport.
 a Shortly after the Spillway was com ipleted it was found that many large tarpon come up the Chagres river {, from the sea to feed on the fresh wa ter fish that come over the spillway from Lake Gatun. Since then this has provided excellent sport for the canal fishermen. One fish weighing more than seventy-five pounds has been taken with rod and line.

GLOOMY VIEW FOR
 FERTIL|zING CROPS
Farmers Will Have Hard Work to
 Get Materials, Says Houston

Washington, Jan. 3.--A gloomy view of prospects for fertilizing next years corps. is presented in a state ment issued yesterday by Secretary Houston of the Department of Agrf- culture.
 Relief measures undertaken by the Department since the European war disrupted the American phosphate ln- dustry and cut off potash imports from Germany will help, the state ment says, but they offer slim possi- bilities that the American farmer will get a small part of the fertiliz- ing materials necessary for his needs. Nitrogenous fertilizers alone will be availa ble in the quantities needed.
 Potash Supply.
 The secretary takes up first the potash supply, long since exhausted in the United States by the German embargo on shipments. Investiga- ton, says his statement, has shown four sources of supply in this coun- try, but none immediately available These are the kelp of the Paclflc Coast, alunlte deposits III 1Lau, iela- spacic rocks in the East and the mud of Searles Lake, California.
 Manufacture from feldspar has been found to be feasible, but the Searles Lake deposits presents tech nical difficulties and title to the prop erty is involved. Manufacturers are experimenting now, the statement says. with alunite. Kelp is offered as
 
 cerns have begun manufacture from keIp and government experts will be sent to the Pacific Coast to aid in the experimental work.
 Production Slow.
 Production will be slow for a long time, the secretary points out, and de- mand for potash in other industries is so great that none manufactured in the United States will be available soon for agricultural purposes. His statement says:
 The prices offered under existing conditions by the manufacturers of

Progress Is FaralYzed.

Here these vampires have inocu-
lated the entire commonwealth
with their venom and, sapping
the life-blood of commerce and in
dustry, sought to paralyze pro
gress and prosperity throughout
the state.
The remedy for this unfortun-
ate condition is with the voter.
The time to apply it is at the pri-
mary election and in its applica-
tiOn there should be no party lines
drawn. The slogan of every hon-
est voter should be "swat the
demagogue, " and when he is
driven into Obscurity there Will
be little agitation, little unrest,
little class legislation, and the en-
ployer and the employe will stand
on equal ground before the law !;
and fairness, friendship, intelli-
gence and the vigorous applica-
tiOn of common sense will adjust
any differences arising in a man
ner beneficial to all the parties to
the controversy.
