FARM PRICES BACK
ON PRE-WAR BASIS
Drop in Markets Severely Felt by
Farmers--Expert Thinks
Bottom is Reached
CBy Associated Press)

| Lexington, Ky, March 2-Re-
cent declines in farm prices have
resulted i'll quotations on many
; farm products returning to pre-
war level, according to figures
which have been compiled by o.
b. Jesness, chief of the section of
markets of the State College of
Agriculture. According to Mr..
Jesness, the adjustment from war
TO pre-war prices has come more
rapidly than most people antici-
pated and has resulted in a reduc-
ton Of the farmers purchasing
power by five or six million dol
lars as compared to this time in
1920.
According to the figures, the
average price Of beef steers on
the Chicago market during 1910
was S0.S3 per hundred pounds. In
1914 this rose to $S.65 while con-
ditions brought about by the war
caused the average to mount to
$15.45. The decline of recent
months has brought the price
back 10 about 50. During 1914
the average price Of hogs at the
Chicago market was $3.50, ac-
cording to the figures compiled
by MIR. Jesness. This rose TO
$18.l4 during 1910, but the bulk
Of the sales on the Chicago mar
ket are now near 50 per hundred.
Lamb prices have also slulnped
to 1916 level, he added.
Corn and oats have dropped
back to about the level existing
before the war, according to Mr..
Jesness. while wheat is still above
this level. Egg prices, which for
several months showed more
strength than most farm pro-
ducts, recently suffered a severe
decline, wholesale prices drop
ping "A cents in three weeks. To-
bacco growers, cotton farmers.
wool growers and producers of
other farm products have expert
enced staggering declines in the
price Of their products,
The nature of the farming BUS
mess. according to Mr.. Jesness.
has made the change in prices
more severely felt by this class Of
men than in many other lines.
Predictions concerning future
farm prices cannot be made with
any assurance of accuracy be-
cause of the CompleXity and the
number of factors involved. the
market expert said. The biggest
decline i'll farm products. in his
opinion, has taken place. Lower
ing prices of supplies and equip
ment needed on the farm will
help bring about the lower cost
of production which is necessary
to restore the balance between
prices and production costs. he
concluded.

HAS HE THE VISION?
SY DR. FRANK CRANE Copyright. 1921. by Frank Cranep

The powers of the President of the United States necessarily limited, and yet he has an opportunity that is gigantic
 Just now President Harding has it in his power to. bless this country and the human entirely beyond: anything that has ever been done in the world up to the present time. ::
 There is only one question: Has he the Vision?
 At the cost of one battleshp less he reegate all battleships to past of barbarism He put end to strife between Capital and Labor betweel nation and nation.
 He can lift the people to a plane of civilization within few years such as, according to the slow progress of the past would not be reached by evolution for thousand years.
 He can make his name to be remembered and vered above that of any earthly ruler of this day.
 Has he the Vision?
 His one great opportunity is this:
 It is to establish the School Republic.
 That is to say to set on foot movement to organ ize every public school in the United States as little republic instead of little autocracy.
 It is to train the children in the fundamentals of Democracy.
 It is to teach children how to govern themselves, how to get along together how to handle the machinery of politics. so that when they from school they Will be intelligent citizens. =
 There is difference between teaching or preach ing on the hand and training the other there IS difference between laboring with adults and develop ing in,nressionahe and tralnable childhood
 In the past there were no national systems or eou- cation for little and large children but the present. with public school systems developing throughout the Word offers an amazing opportunity for progress.
 It is cheaper quicker and rational to save the country through the children than In any other way Every needed reform be brought to pass through handling the coming generation infinitely more easily ton in the world is undoubtedly that of putting end to war We have how difficult It IS TOT adutS to grasp this issue. :, =:
 Let us begin with the children and train them in. Democracy in self-government, and Tn rlght lVlng-
 President Harding can do this.

Here is a piece of real newspaper feature writing. It was written by q re-write man on the Chicago Tribune about six weeks ago. He built this human interest story on a bulletin sent to all of the newspapers by news bureau. The bulletin read some thing like this: Irene Nancy, Italian. r years old and pretty, reported at the South Clark street police station this afternoon that a woman fortune teller whom the girl had visited at 434 Clark street kept a S20 bill which the girl had placed in the gypsy's hand in order to insure a better for tune. Detective Sergeant O'Rourie was sent out to hunt up the gypsy and returned an hour later with the girls SEQ"
 Here's the story the Tribune man wrote:
 There was a nap of velvet in the vernal zephyrs of Taylor street The breeze whispered sly nothings and there was a sort of darling feeling in the air.
 Irene Nancy noticed it. She is r., and her Italian eyes are large. deep and dark, and there is the soul of Naples in them.
 The dreamy feeling would not pass So. captive she was lulled in the fine spun web of romance. The gentle anodyne of spring stole into her sens es and she was waited away on the | gilded clouds of love that sail like yachts of whipped cream in oceans of i apricot wine.
