Il, 1919, were quoted by the home firm on
Dec. 4, at from 3 to 6 cents a pound. 1t

and pelts the firm handles.
Prices have virtually been divided by
ten in the various departments. Calf
skins for which the firm paid from $4.75
to S11.75 each in August, 1919, today
will bring only from 40 cents to 81 80.
Ten cents is the low price on culls as
against $50 in August of last year.
Shoes are falling somewhat in price, but
it is doubtful if they reflect any such re-
auctions as the farmer is being obliged
to take for his raw materials that enter
into shoe manufacture.
Horse hides have taken such a slump
that it hardly is worth the powder and

half of Farmers.

BOSTON, DR.. 1.-THE New England
Association of Market Officials was or
gained yesterday at a conference of
heads of market bureaus of the New Eng
land states under the auspices of the
Massachusetts department of agriculture.
Officers were elected as follows: Pres
ident, Lionel G.. Mulholland. Vermont
market agent; vice-president, w. \. Mum
son, head of the division of markets in
the Massachusetts department of agricul-
ture; secretary and treasurer, Prof. j.
G.. Davis Of the Connecticut Agricultural
college.
Prof. r. J.. McFalI, field agent of the
Massachusetts Agricultural college, spoke
on the influence of increased freight and
express rates on farm products. He said
the higher rates in New England will
have the effect of localiZing the produc-
ton of products bulky in proportion to
their value. as compared with other COM
modities. He added that this decentrali-
zation process viii be brought about in
all other industries, as we'll as agriculture,
since distant shippers will be at a disad-
vantage. However, he said, the gam to
the New England farmer competing with
the western producer viii be offset by
increases in the price OF raw materials,
such as fertilizer and farming nipple
ments, caused by increased freight rates.
Criticizing the federal bureau of crop
estimates for inetficiency in giving out es-
Inmates, the market bureau officials were
informed by the New England agent OF
the federal bureau, r. V. Sanders. that
lack of funds to carry on the work prop
erIv has placed the bureau at a disadvan-
tage.

ARTISTIC HOMES OF ADOBE.
Western Women Who Have Turned
Builders Enjoy New Work.

Out in California where the adobe
is coming back. women and girls have
turned builders and are rearing some at
t%ractive looking bungalows. They fol-
low the style of the mission builders
! and work with a genuine zest once they
get their houses under way. In the
Huntington Park district, near Los An
geles, young women are giving time and
study to their plans, and are obtaining
exterior of the walls. When the little
homes are complete, it is planned to
train vines that will spread all over the
structures and add greatly to their pie
turesque beauty.
Many of the adobe houses built by
early Spanish settlers in New Mexico,
Arizona and California are still as solid,
If not more so, as when they were plas-
tered together from mixtures of mud and
grass more than a century ago.

pitable walls General Fremont was en-
tertained on his first visit to that city,
and in later days it received and pro-
vided entertainment for the Princess
Louise when she made her honeymoon
tour with the Marquis of LOrne. Don
Aguirre was a rich Spaniard, who did
not believe in practicing economy when
it came to providing a home for himself
and his descendants. He used adobe for
his walls because that was the popular
material of the time, but he made them

THREE CHARGES AGAINST SPY.
Espionage, Embezzlement and DesertiOn
Are Grimes Willers Faces.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE war
department, it was learned today, is pre-
pairing to turn over to the department of
Justice the case of John y. Willers. al
legged deSerter from the army and self
accused German spy. The charge of de
death. will not be dropped but will be held
over Willers for action in the event that
he is not convicted of espionage.
Willers is confined on Governors island
under the jurisdiction of Gen. Billiard.
His confession to the police in New York,
since repudiated by him, in which he de
clared he was in the army as a spy for
Germany and deserted in 1918, has COM
plicated proceedings. The military intel
ligence bureau has discontinued all espion-
age work, and for that reason the depart
ment of justice is the only governmental
agency which can properly prosecute his
case.
The state departments interest in the
case lends credence to a belief that Will
erS will be prosecuted first in the civil
courts. He is accused of embezzling some
$1,000 belonging to the company of which
he was commander, and an embezzler of
government funds can be tried in the civil
courts if the government so desires. 1t is
part of the present plan to press this
charge also through the department of jus
tice. In such a case the accused person
must be detached from the government
service and steps are being taken to dis
charge Willers from his commission as a
captain.
The charge of desertion can be prose
cuted only in the military courts, and the
government hopes first to obtain a convic-
ton for espionage and upon the release of
Willers to press the charge of desertion be-
fore a court martial. If he should be ac-
quilted of the charge of espionage he will
be rearrested Immediately by the military
authorities.

4olnlu and the furniture and tapestries
from Spain. The mansion contained a
store, magazine, warehouse and court,
and was a village within itself. The
residence had 80 large rooms and its
drawing room was known to the grand
ees from San Diego to Monterey for its
receptions and parties. The patio was
40 by 10 feet. and the great arches of
adobe were supported by columns of ar
tistic molding. The porch was 10 feet
in width, extending the entire length of
the court. This famous creation of
adobe stood solidly, defying the ravages
of time and weather until % years ago,
when a cloudbuFst in the mountains sent
a cataract down on the place, tearing
out the supports and starting the dis
integration that caused its eventual
downfall.
The early Spanish settlers are credited
with the development of adobe, but ex-
cavations made in ancient Assyria, Bah
ylon and Egypt nave disclosed the fact
that the same material, mixed with straw
and grass was generally used for home
building by those early races. This dis
covery recalls the story of the children
of Israel who, while held in bondage in
Egypt, were forced to gather straw to
mix in the bricks with which they We're
building walls. They followed the same
general process of molding the bricks or
blocks to a uniform size then drying
them in the sun, before setting them in
the walls. Where a stout building was
desired a very thick wall vas CON
structed, but most of the houses had but
one thickness of the hand-molded forms.
The adobe builders of 1920, while
seeking some of the decorative schemes
of the Spanish builders, are more intent
on providing small houses, rather than
forts, and are not making their walls
as thick as Don Aguirre deemed neces-
sary. Durability and ~permanency can
be insured without reSorting to such mas
sive walls, and as lumber and shingles
can be had for rooms and supports, it
is not necessary to invite mishaps such
as occurred in the 1872 earthquake, when
terrified persons gathered in an adobe
church whose roof fell in, killing many
of the frightened worshippers.
TIL saving in brick and tiles, the prin-
cipal items in home construction, is a
very important factor in the cost of pro-
viding the small house, and the workers
in western states may find many others
following their example in combating the
high cost of building. That the Cali
fornia women nave found il pleasant en-
ployment mixing the mud and molding
the blocks to go into, the walls is also
regarded as a promising augury that
there will be many converts to the adobe
plan.-KanSas City Star,
