with mixed and assert ed
lots ranging at $S.25 to $3.50 for heav-
les. A top of 50 was made on choice
killing steers of 1880 pounds up, this
being Is cents higher than was paid for
hogs. At the same time a few choice
native sheep brought up to 81 and the
best of the selected light weight lambs
sold as high as 80, with medium grades
at Sc to $3.50. The few spring

Local Butchers Pay Less.
These figures give consumers fair
idea of what the farmers are now re-
ceiving for live stock, in the run of our
markets. Butchers who are fixed to
buy direct from the farmer, and to
truck to town for killing, can heat
all Of those figures, for the freight
charges and commissions are deducted
from above quotations before the
farmer is paid. Naturally, then, he
can afford to sell lower at the farm
gate.
This gives the butcher who can buy
locally, and kill at home, a decided
advantage over the market man who
must buy dressed meats, brought from
packing centers in refrigerator cars.
The latter not only pays the outside
price for the live stock on the hoof at
the city yards, but also the packer S
cost of selling and the refrigerator car
freight bill.

Claim Dogs Smuggled
Into ENGLAND BY Plane
(By Associated Press)


LONDON, April 22.-Dog smuggling
by airplane has arrested the interest
of the House of Lords which recently
devoted part of an afternoon to a dis
cussion of the subject.
The pampered toy-dog was roundly
excoriated by a number of their lord
ships, Lord Willoughby de Broke sup
porting Lord Bedislowe in a demand
that such useless brutes" be excluded
from the country.
1t was pointed out that it is an easy
task for a person to smuggle the small
lap dog into the country in muff or
basket.
The ministry of agriculture promised
to renew its vigilance in the matter Of
preventing dog smuggling and to in
crease the penalties if necessary.

PRICE DECLINE COVERS
FOOD, CLOTHING AND
MEATS-326 PRODUCTS
BY WILLIAM r. SANBORN

Compared with last year the general
level Of commodity prices at whole
sale, in March was 40 per cent under
that OF the high level in May of 1920
Now 40 per cent in 10 months shows
quite Wholesale drop, and were all
the groups Of commodities indexed on
the same debated level there would
be less cause for complaint. But such
is not true. For example, farm pro-
ducts were but 25 per cent higher in
March than in 1913, while at the same
time house furnishings were up IT'S
per cent, by comparison with 1913
Wholesale prices, according to the
governments index tabulation. This
percentage Is the highest shown,
building material ranking next with
an advance of 112 per cent, followed
by fuel and lighting at LOT per cent,
and cloths and clothing at 80 per cent.
This comparison is with average
prices in 1918 and not with the peak
figures of the war period.
There can be no disputing that
farm products have had more than
their share of depression. Were a
comparison made today the March in
dex figures would again be discounted,
as the April break in grain and live
stock has been serious. 1t is almost
certain, taking the entire range of
farm products on today's markets.
that the farmer. taking his output as
whole, is back to the pre-war level,
or practically so.
Review Of Peak Prices
When prices were at their peak"
in the spring of 1920 cloths and
clothing were up 356 per cent, COM
norod with 1919 f;ouroc. huild;Do m
terials 341 per cent, and furniture and
furnishings, which made the Hottest
flight in the entire nine groups, were
81 per cent over the 1913 levels. Well,
the Index" shows that the latter had
fallen but IS per cent from the peak
up to the March tabulation, leaving
that group at 275 per cent or still ITS
per cent above pre-war days. The av-
erage advance for "all comodoties'
was 81 per cent, the groups of which
cover 326 different articles.
The fact that the average advance
in 326 articles is but So per cent is OF
no importance to the man desiring to
invest in those which are from 80 to
ITS per cent dearer than in 1918.
The March index shows that food
averaged so per cent higher than in
1918, but, had fallen 1871 per cent from
the peak, that being placed at 287 of
the 1915 level. This is the point that
the railroads and corporations are
stressing; the relative cheapness of
food as compared to the high levels
of last year On this showing they
are asking employees to accept wage
reductions gracefully.
Hogs Lowest In Five Years.
While it is true that few hogs were
taken by shippers at Chicago at 1920
on Wednesday. the practical top was
SO, the lowest in five years. Now look
at the general average, sS.45, against
s15.65 a year ego and $2090 on the
same date in 1919. Tie drop in cattle
has been relative over the same
period.

She alleges there was an understand

afford 1t she would receive salary.
Under this arrangement, says Mrs.
Heffron, she worked conscientiously
ministering to the sick and needy Of
the parish and in addition acting as
general aid to the rector. She had
rooms in the rectory, but needed also
living wage, which several times she
requested. DR.. Pratt told her the
church could not afford to pay sal

was succeeded in the rectorship by the

Jenny Wren was excited. She is

sleeve.
