The marked decline in the price
OF farm products resulted from
glutted markets. More was pro-
duced than could be consumed. For
eiEn demand fell off because the
European nations had neither credit
nor funds with which to make pur-
chases. Farmers were Obliged TO
throw their products on already de-
Ginning markets because of their
dire need for funds.
The readjustmcnt and price de-
cline hit the farm products first and
hardest.
Clnmor IL Insistent.
a clamor about the condition Of
farmers has been heard in the
capital for more than a year past.
Congress passed Legislation for the
extension of credit and the stimu-
lation of exports. The administra-
ton fostered similar private en-
beavers. An emergency tariff was
enacted
But these measures, while helpful

grown steadily worse. Secretary

call will take up all subjects bear

Invitations were to be sent out

President Harding. in writing TO
Secretary Wallace, spoke of the
severe agricultural dcprcssions.'
His letter said:
In harmony with our converse
ton OF fe& days ago. am writing
to ask you TO call a national con-
ference TO consider the agricultural
problems OF the American people.
We are all well aware of the severe
agricultural depression which exists
throughout the land and the extra
ordinary conditions which brought
about the present situation. No one
will pretend that the present condi-
tions could have been avoided, but
none of us is willing to agree that
there ought not be some corrective
and constructive steps taken to
remedy the severe hardships under
which so important Il portion of our
productive citizenship is struggling.
Thinks Conference would Help.
Il am convinced that conference
may be made very helpful agency
in suggesting practical ways Of i'm

into co-ordina ton with the helpful
investigation, which has been begun
by the congressional committee to Il

itself into two parts: One part to

TIMELY BEAUTY HINTS

Society women wash their own hair,
not because it is a fad, but because
they wish to obtain the greatest pos
sible hair beauty and be sure they are
not using anything harmful. They
have found that in washing the hair
it is never wise to use a makeshift,
but is always advisable to use prepa-
ration made for shampooing only.
Many of our friends say they get the
best results from a simple homemade
canthroX mixture. You can use this
at a cost of about cents a shampoo
by getting some canthrox from your
druggist and dissolving a teaspoonful
in a cup of hot water. This makes
enough shampoo liquid to apply to all
the hair instead of just the top of the
head. as with most preparations. Dan
druff, excess oil and dirt are dissolved
and entirely disappear in the rinsing
water Your hair will be so fluffy that
it will look much heavier than it is.
Its luster and softness will also delight
you.-Adv.

Strange Ceremony in Japan, In

Two Days of Worship.

Impressive Manifestations Of Loyalty

ing Worship.

Tokyo-After six years labor and
an expenditure estimated ut $4,000
000 the national shrine to the late
Emperor Mutsuhito was opened re-
Gently with solemn Shlnto ceremonies,
and amid impressive manifestations
Of loyalty. For three days the popu-
lace of Tokyo celebrated the occasion.
Every street was decorated with bunt-
ing, and from the humblest door Ian
terms were displayed at night.
The municipality gave q flower show
and open-air performances and the
atrical performances in Hibiya park,
but for the most part the festivities
were comparatively organized by the
citizens in different wards. At hun
dreds of central points stages had
been erected, where vaudeville shows
were given and there were fireworks
both night and day.
Over 100000 persons from the coun-
try districts visited the city during
the festival.
The shrine is u typical Shinto build
ing of plain wood, and of the simplest
possible construction. The opening
ceremony was attended by over 1000
persons and officials, and lasted about
three hours The central feature was
the delivery to Prince Ichijo, warder
of the shrine, Of the name tablets of
the late emperor, and their installa-
tion In the inner Sanctuary.
Prince Kujo, a relative of the en-
peror, delivered a commemorative ora
tion to which Prince Ichijo replied.
The shrine was thereafter opened to
the public and at least 100000 people
worshiped before 1t during the re-
mainder of the day.
The scene where these multitudes
of people were paying their respects
to the memory of the dead emperor
was impressive. The main entrance
10 the shrine is by means of new
and very broad road about two miles
in length. Along this road all the day
and evening two great strings of peo-
pie poured, one going TO the shrine,
the other returning.

They were sweeping up the coins that
rained continually on the steps OF the

Not a sound could be heard except
the light hand-clapping Of the wor-
shippers calling on the enshrined spirit
Of the emperor. No human voice was
heard. There was not even an audible
prayer; In complete silence the multi
tude. paid their respects TO the spirit
Of Meijl and passed on.
On the two following days the
shrine was again visited by hundreds
Of thousnndss and the proceedings
were enlightened by wrestling and 9th
er public entertainments near the
shrine. The crown prince. on behalf
OF the emperor, worshiped at the
shrine on the second day.

Fluctuations In market prices may
have several explanations. They fire.
quently take place in regions where
the local production does not equal
the annual consumption. There are
counties rich In agricultural possIbIl-

the annual incoming shipments OF

Many such counties with improved
