FARM CROP PRICES
BELOW PRE-WAR LEVEL

The prices Of six Of the important
crops on May / of this year were
below the pro-war average prices Of
that date, according to figures coll
lected by the bureau of crop esti-
mates, United States Department Of
agriculture. These crops are corn,
oats, barley, flax, potatoes and cot
ton. The report showed that the
prices of the three grains-wheat,
rye and MISUNDERSTANDING above the
pre-war average prices. During
April the average price of wheat de-
clined from $3.50 to $123 per bushel.
The report shows that in general the
industrial crops, such as flax, cotton
and broomcorn, are the most depress-
ed in price, and that food crops, such
as wheat, rye, potatoes and apples
show relatively less decline.
The prices in various parts of the
country vary, with South Dakota be-
ing the center of the low-price dis
trict, the May / report shows. The
average nrice Of wheat in that state
was 80 cents per bushel, and in some
counties it was as low as 70 cents.
Corn was selling at an everage price
of 80 cents per bushel in South Da-
kota, while the average price for the
United States being 36.8 cents. The
report showed a big decline in the
price of old potatoes, especially in
Michigan, where the average was %
cents a bushel, which was 20 cents
below the average for the United
States.

CLARENCE MAKES
STRONG APPEAL
Metropolitan Cast with Alfred Lunt at
Head Gives Satisfying Perform
ance in Auditorium.
With Booth Tarkington's light

With Booth Tarkington's light com
edy. Clarence as the vehicle metropol
itan cast direct from a winters run
Mt the Globe theater iii Boston with Al
fred Lunt at the head presented the
seasons most finished performance IN
the Auditorium Saturday night before
a capacity audience While some other
comedies which have been presented
here have been equally as strong in plot,
Clarence is of a distinctive type and the
subtle humor of the lines makes it es-
pecially appealing.
MIR. Lunt created the role of Clarence,
and it would be difficult to conceive of a
better Interpretation or lmpersonation
of the part than was given it Saturday
night 1t easily could be a failure in
less competent hands, but Mr.. Lunt is
Il master of his art, betraying no APP
parent effort to act otherwise than in a
perfectly natural manner, which is one
of the tests of real ability.
Clarence is the name of doughbOy,
a scientist who became mule driver in
the army and after the war sought a
lob from a prominent business man.
He received no encouragement at first,
but because tickle members of the bus
mess mans household gave the eX-sOl-
der a history of the domestic troubles
which promised to disrupt the family he
was engaged as handy man about the es-
tate in order to keep him quiet, and
he conceals his identity until the last
act.
Supporting Mr.. Lunt were John Flood
as Mr., Wheeler, the business man
Mary Boland as Mrs. Wheeler; Mar
garet Cuasck as Violet Pinney, gov
erness for Mr.. Wheeler's daughter; Rus
sell Nedcraft and Viola Harper as the
Wheeler children, Bobby and Cora,
both of whom took their parts with
consummate skill: Susanna WestfOrd
as Mrs. Martyr, Mr.. Wheeler,s office
assistant; and Agnes Findlay, Barlowe
Borland and William Lorenz, who met
the requirements of minor characters in
a way that contributed to a perfect
whole.
The performance was indeed a satisfy
ing one, by a company whose compe-
tcncv rarely is exceled here

Gotham's Pollution Committee Plans
War on Pests.

NEW YORK, March 2I-The adver

first 100 live hOusehies received by him
between March % and 81, in order that
he might demonstrate new. method OF
planned Yesterday by Edward Hatch ir..
chairman of the committee on Pollution
and Sewerage of the Merchants assocla-
ton. It was inspired by him, he says,
after Mr. Needham bad searched fruit
lessly for flies with which to experiment
and demonstrate, and after Mr.. Need
hams secretary had volunteered to as
quest of the single fly discovered in the
parlor of her own home Melted bruised
knee and two broken vases.
Il then suggested that the best way
to get anything in New York city IS to
advertise for it in the New York daily
newspapers" said Mr. Hatch. 4 am
sure the result will again prove the
this advantage to be obtained from ad-
vertising: As the New York newspapers
have quite a circulation outside the city
it is possible that the advertisement
NAV attract attention in many outside
towns which are less clean than New
York.
'sPerhaps the advertiser viii be sur

ever. the out-Of town flies may be on
the alert and refuse to be caught for
New York experimentation. They are
far more agile and elusive than they

threatening danger. This may, however,
be due to their keenness, for the house

to try for the team has the privilege and
after a series of games the best players are
picked out to represent the club The
present team has been the choice Of the
club for the past three seasons, and
PLAYS a fast, snappy game Of ball.
With TIC Athletics travelling at the
pace they have shown in the last two
games this should be the real feature game
of the season. At any rate the fans will
get their moneys worth and should turn
out strong to help the boys who are trying
to boost the game. It's not difficult to
figure that the Athletics, from the sup

CAN'T REDUCE AID RATES.
Newsprint Is Too Costly and Union
Scale Is High.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. March 21.-That
financial disaster would follow the rcduc-
ton of advertising rates was the con
sensus of opinion of publishers and adj
vcrtising executives of newspapers at
tending here Saturday a meeting of the
the officers and directors of the National
Association of Newspaper Executives,
according to Charles Miller Of Atlanta,
Ga. president.
Retailers have been misled by the
rpot market prices Of paper" said Mr..
Miller. 1T is true that the spot market
price Of paper has dropped from II cents
a pound to seven. However publishers
buy their paper on contract. Last year
they were paying four cents. now they
are paying six and n half. Then, too,
freight rates are higher and there have
been no reductions in the wage scales
of union men. Consequently lower rates
are out of the question:

Cross. has hired of Carl A. Mitchell three
rooms on the south side of the Hooker
house. and will move there about April

While the rooms are not as large as
those which the branch has occupied in
the federal building they are of sufficient
proportions for the work which Is now
being done by the organization. One adj
vantage of the new quarters is their ac-
cpssibilitv. as they are up only one fight
instead of two. as was the case at the
federal building. 1t will be necessary,
however. for the branch to pay rent,
which the government did not require.
but the removal from the federal build
ing was made necessary by reason OF
orders recently issued to all Red Gross
branches which have been occupying gov
ernment buildings.
