Farm Product Prices Show Steady
Advance


Prices of farm products have
shown an advance during the past
two months and today North Caro-
lima is economically and financially
better off than most any other state
in the Union, according to a state
mept issued by Frank Parker, agri-
cultural s atistican of the North Car
Dina and United States department
of agriculture.
The reasonable prices for cotton
and tobacco and the fairly good
yields of these two crops have been
largely responsible for the favorable
conditions, he stated. Another rea-
son given was that North Carolina is
mot as nearly one-crop state as
might be supposed, or even as much
SO as Iowa, Illinois or Texas which
outrank her."
Statesmen ard bankers often COM
ment on the good financial condition
Of the State as shown by their loans,
sales and collections" said Mr.. Par
ker.
This does not mean that the state
Is flushed, or that farmers are even
able to pay all their debts. but that
hey are more nearly able to do so
han those. of other states.
"pr ces of farm products have ad-
vanced somewhat during the past two
months after steady decline which
resulted in the farmers products hav-
ing purchasing power of less than
.wo-thirds of o,her commodities on
prewar basis. The steady advance
Of manufactured products was bound
to react on crop prices, even If be-
lated"

The Monroe journal., 1922-12-22

The Russian winter is as severe as
that OF the northernmost United
States and Canada. and this has
made the problem doubly pressing,
for the Russian markets have little
clothing available, and the supply
that Is for sale Is held at prices far
above the reach OF the average
workingman. overcoats cost more
than a years salary. Some OF the
organizations allied with the Amer
lean Relief Administration have
sent clothing for distribution In
Russia, but these contributions. big
as they are. have been "only a drop
in the bucket.
To overcome these conditions. the
American Relief Administration has

Small Son OF Mr.. and Mrs. Bunyan

Emmett, the little four year old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Bunyan Coan Of
west Crowell street, died yesterday
afternoon. A year or so ago he suf-
fered a severe attack of meningitis
and not having fully recovered
he was unable to resist disease so
contracted influenza which soon de-
veloped into pneumonia. Funeral SER
vices were conducted this afternoon
by DR.. c. c. Weaver, pastor of Cen

body was laid to rest in the ceme-
terry at Mineral Springs. Mr.. Coan,
who is popular employee of the

have the deep sympathy of Monroe

little child is always sad, but inf
nitely more so at Christmas time.

Grave of Lincoln's
Grandfather Found

Louisville, KY, April 3.--The grave
of Abraham Lincoln, grandfather of
the martyred president, has been
found in a churchyard near here, in
the belief Of several Louisvillians who
recently have completed an extensive
investigation.
The investigators found two stones
their inscriptions hlotted away by
long exposure to the elements which
they believe mark the grave of the
cmancipator's grandfather who was
killed by Indians in 1856 within sight
of his cabin and before the eyes of
his three sons.
According to R. c. Ballard Thrus-
ton, who has made preliminary in
Nestigation of deeds in the Jefferson
county courthouse, the examination
warrants the belief the land compos-
ing the churchyard is part of the Lin
coin property, which included 400
acres.
Additional details of the death of
the emancipator's grandfather have
been revealed by the investigation, it
was stated.

Counterfeiters in Germany

Berlin, April 3.-A band of inter
offices in almost every European coun-
try, America and Australia has es-
tablished headquarters in Berlin, say
police and Reichsbank Investigators
Monies of half dozen countries are
being manufactured here. A score
ct arrests have been made but authori-
ties say the band is still functioning.
In addition there have been mand
arrests Of counterfeiters operating
alone making either German or Amer
lean money, American dollar and $40
notes are favOrite productions of the
rounterfeiters. German 50, 100 and
l,000-mark notes also are widely coun-
terfeited.
Confedcrates of the counterfeiters
usually dispose of the German money
counterfeited here in foreign coun-
try-France, Holland, Belgium, Swe-
den or Norway. The foreign money
made in Germany is marketed here.
One of the counterfeiters arrested
was the proprietor of large hotel in
Amsterdam who posed as pleasure
seeker and lived elegantly in the best
hotels.
A German counterfeiter of 100
mark notes was employed as mechan-
ician in n big artificial ice-skating rink
here. He established his workshop in
the attic of the "ice palace" and sur
rounded it with electric wires so ar
ranged that unexpected entrance
would cause an explosion in the
mint and destroy the "evidence."
The proprietor of the rink watched
him and informed the police who cut
the wires, entered and found the
mechanician busily printing money.
