the announcement was made that on
March there were SIS, 900 900 bushels
of corn in tho farmers hands all hands
were much surprised. 1t began TO looV
as II the big supply in sight might work
for the good of the consumer and bring
down the price, but Mr.. Hoover's bull
ish statement as to tie possibility OF
$3.50 wheat provided the excuse for
keeping the corn back on the farms, with
the inevitable result that the price hay
advanced.
Many men on tho Produce EXCHANGE
are asking why il was necessary for
Congress to make an appropriation OF
$1,000. 00o, 600 to pay the farmer the diff
ference between the guaranteed price

was so confident that the price of wheat
might go to $3.50 a bushel Some OF
them assert that the Food Administra-
ton has done everything in its power
TO sustain prices of corn. oats rye, bar

cost OF living is due to official inter-
views and nothing else.

Indiana Man upset.

IT was learned yesterday on excellent
authority that the Corn Products Re-
filming Company recently wired a corn
shipper in Indiana that II had Just pur-
chased corn from the Argentine TO te
delivered in New York at 20 cents a
bushel under the price that the Indiana
corn man was asking for his corn de-
livered in New York. The Indiana man
was so upset over the telegram that he
telephoned the Corn Products Refining
Company's buyer to verify the contents
Of the message.
The Indiana corn man said that be-
cause OF Mr.. Hoovers statement that
wheat might so to $3.50 a bushel It
had been impossible for his firm to pur-
chase a single carload OF grain AT var-
Gus stations adjacent TO Indiana polls.
Tie point of his talk was that the farm
ers were so impressed by Mr.. Hoover
declaration that still higher prices were
coming that they wouldn't sell corn,
oats, rye, barley or anything else now
in order to reap the benefits later

have no such breadth of view
"Under the leadership of Lodge, Pen

THE i'll considered talk about a 'peace

SAYS HATE OF WILSON
STIRS LEAGUE FOES
Cummings, Democratic Chief,
Scores Senators.
Special Despatch to TIE sUS.

WARRINGTON, March 12.-Homer s,
Cummings, recently chosen chairman of
the Democratic National Committee, de-
Tended the League of Nations to-day in
the general discussion by blaming oppo-
sition to the covenant on personal an
tipathy to President Wilson on the part
Of Senatorial DIRECTORS.
By contrast Mr.. Cummings sought to
make It appear that Senatorial opponents
to the plan are not patriotic. He con-
trasted the position OF these Senators to
THE patriotic attitude of former Presi-
dent Taft"
As in every defence Of the league plan
thus far advanced by every one from
Mr.. Wilson down no effort was made to
meet the arguments brought forward
against the covenant.
Mr.. Cummings said that no ono who
In his heart of hearts desires the crea-
ton Or League OF Nations has any
hesitancy In giving the President hearty
and sympathetic support"
Reverting again to M. Taft he said
that the ex-President "is big enough to
realize that the draft Of the covenant
was framed by representatives of a
great many nations after the fullest con-
sideration."

'If any man is SO intent upon inter
mixing the project Of permanent peace
with an idealistic dream of a league of
nations he must be actuated by the mo-
tive TO force the league through the
senate merely as a part Of the peace
treaty so that II cannot Of itself be de-
feated. To attempt to force the League
OF Nations through as a part of the
peace treaty in this way would be a
clear violation OF the spirit of the Con-
situation, and any man who would at

himself to the severest condemnation.

fundamental change in our structural

Senator Johnson (Cal). Republican.
approved the divorce of the peace treaty
from the league, saying 1T would be
monstrous IL the constitution OF the
League of Nations were interviewed with
the treaty OF peace. 1t is to be hoped
that the advices from Paris indicatine
that the conferees of European nations
have taken an attitude against making
the League of Nations a part of the
treaty Of peace are true. However, they
may not be dependable.

GORGEOUS SETS IN
ELSIE FERGUSONS
LATEST PHOTOPLAY
No Expense Spared to Make tr'
Staging of "The Marriage"
Price" Artistic.

The most gorgeous sets that have
ever been used in society picture
play were used in Elsie Ferguson's
new Aircraft picture, "The Marriage
Price" which will be shown. at the
Huree theater next Friday and Satur-
day. The drawing room is replica
of Frank Gould's drawing room on
that m;llionaire's Lakewood estate.
The furniture was made especially tor
the set and the paintings, tapestries,
rugs and bric-a-brac is worth small
fortune.
Copies of rooms in the Plaza and
St. Regis hotels of New York are
shown perfectly in this picture.
Another remarkable set is the rae
ing stable, copied from Frank Gould S
stable at Lakewood. Real marble
floors were laid in the studio, instead
of the painted cloths which used to
satisfy the public taste. The stall:
were made of mahogany with marble
columbs. Carved walls and sttineo
glass windows complete the elaborate
set.
Miss Ferguson plays the part Of
society woman in "The Marriage
Price," who becomes impoverishe..
and seeks to make her own living witt
more or less success. There is
pretty love story and the situation
are quite dramatic. Wyndham Stand
ing is the leading man.

San LUIS VALLEY FARMERS SHOULD BEGIN TO REALIZE THE REm
VALUE OF THEIR FARMS NOW OFFERED AT BARGAIN PRICES

such buyers were crazy. Then In 1904 when
some Of the ''far seeing" farmers began paying
$4,000 nm acre for this same land the wise ones
could see more insanity cropping out. Later in
1909 these same farms were transferred for
considerations reaching as high as $4,000 an
acre. Then u few years later the $4,000 an
acre price was reached. and now comes along
the man who pays the sum Of $4,000 an acre
or u total Of $40. 100000 for 80 acres
And do you know that this same rapid
advancement in land prices has been exper.
fenced in almost every agricultural section Of
the United States except the San Luis Valley?
And do you know that the only reason It has
not been a repeater here is because you land
owners have got it into your heads that $4,000
and $4,000 an il all It's worth?
The Iowa farm sold for $500 90 an acre
Fort Collins and Greeley farms have been sold
at prices from $4,000 to $4,000 an acre.
Western Slope farms have been sold ut $500 90
an acre. Alfalfa farms in the Pecos Valley
of New Mexico have changed hands ut $500 90
an acre. but here in the San Luis Valley where
the water supply is Incompatible. where maxi
mum yield Of farm products are produced.
where markets are unexcelled and where
the climate is most healthful and invgorating,
the land owners persist in Offering their farms

BY CARL B. STOW

friend In Iowa c.y!ng that an 80 acre farm near
his home had Just been sold for Sa0.0OOOO
And this Is information that should sink
deep in the minds Of every land owner N the
San Luis Valley. II points out the trend Of
investments. and il means something vital to
your future prosperity.
No matter hCw small n sum you paid
for your present land holdings; no matter
what inducements may be offered for the pur-
chase of your farm: no matter II tempting
offers would show you big profits en- your in
vestment, you should consider seriously and
thOuxhtfuy Of the future possibilities Of this
agricultural section before pricing your farm.
Good farming land in the San Luis Val
ley Is priced far below its real value-and
right at time when this agricultural district
st, nds out one of the high spots" Of Colo
RADIO in agricultural production and prosperity.
Nearly every person who reads about
this 80 acre Iowa farm selling at five hundred
dollars an acre will feel like saying that the
buyer must be crazy. But il he? Would you
care to 60 on record in saying that the limit
has been reached.
In the year 1900 when Iowa land first
sold - high - $62. SO an acre. everybody said
