FARM PRICE BOOST
 MAY BE EXPECTED,
 SAYS WHITE HOUSE
Hope for Better Prices Justi- fled By Rail Rate Reduc- tions on Grain for
 Export
By Associated Press


 Washington, August 12.-Strong lIhope for better prices in the agri- cultural markets Is justified by re-. auctions in the railroad rates on , grain for export. already in effect and proposed, according to a state ment issued at the White House to- night.
 Recent reductions in the export rate on grains between Chicago and New York, the statement said, will be followed by sweeping revisions of grain rates generally, including those from Mississippi river points and on the lines to the gulf, in order that the entire agricultural interest may share fully in the benefits.
 Tn general" the statement contin- ued, Advances in freight costs are passed on to the consumer by adding them to the selling price. But in grains, whose domestic price is domi mated by the foreign price of the ex ported surplus, the producers suf- fer when rates go up and benefits when they go down. Therefore, though the exports represent a minor share of the total grain production the lowering of export rates affects the entire crop. These reductions of rates, together with the arrange ment for financial assistance to ex- yort trade and the assurance that fEurope is going to need extraordi- nary quantities of American food stuffs, constitute altogether a justi- fication for strong hope that the ten- ! dency in the agricultural markets ,.ff ha da0idod1u ward better prices"
 Reductions of transportation rates on grain for export was described as ''one of the most important measures the administration has initiated for the relief of agricultural and of general industrial conditions. The reductions, it was explained, were in- sisted upon by Secretary Hoover as a concession to the agricultural inter- ests when on behalf of President Harding he negotiated with the car riers the basis of the settlement of their claims against the government growing out of federal control.
 This was made the basis of the adjustment" the statement said, the railroads relinquishing their so- called labor inefficiency' claims and undertaking to inaugurate reductions in the export grain rates, while the administration undertook to assist them by securing early settlement of their claims against the government.
 Moreover, the statement declared, it was discovered under the old con ditions that the Canadian railways and ports were getting the lions fshare of the grain movement to Flu krope, including American grain. \ ITO meet this condition" it said, and insure that the American pro- 1 ducer would not only get his full share of the sales in foreign mar kets, but would also get the highest possible price, a movement for deduc- ing export rates was inaugurated by the administration

was contrasting the clean content of
home life with the squalor of drunk

What do we want when we re-

asked. What do we desire to ease
our burdens, to gladden. our hearts,
to bring smiles to our lips. and joy
