, The wholesale prices of cattle, hogs,
hides and corn are below the prices
OF 1913, while the average wholesale
price of all commodities is about 80
per cent above the level of 1913, and
the prices of many manufactured ar
tieles are double those of pre-war
days. The 1921 crop was below esti-
mated normal production and consid-
ering this and the large export move
nent of agricultural products last
year, it is concluded that stocks of
agricultural products at the present
time are not above normal. For fiji
teen or twenty years before the war,
agricultural production was slowly
increasing, but prices of agricultural
products were rapidly increasing, due
to the fact that the population of the
United States was growing fast and
was becoming industrialized. From
all this it may be concluded that buss-
ness has seen the worst slump for the
time being and will now gradually do
better, for year or two at least. The
wide difference in related prices be-
tween such things as farm commodi-
ties aud manufactured goods, stands
as an obstacle to resumption OF active
trade. But the Harvard economic
service concludes that the drop in the
prices of farm products is temporary.

From the agricultural conference at
Washington has emanated a sugges-
ton OF curtailment of production. 1t
has bad look. A crop that can be
made and is for any reason not plant
ed or harvested is an opportunity for
ever lost-tirne and money that can
never be regained. Rotation of crops
is agriculturally sound and diversiii-
cation is desirable-provided- a
commodity OF which there is a great
surplus supply there be substituted
something more sorely needed. But
failing to produce in order to advance
prices benefits neither the individual
nor the nation.

OLD HATREDS CAUSE MANY
DEATHS IN INDIANA FEUD;
DATE BACK TO YEAR 1882

family feud has been raging for years
between the Archer and Stanficld
families which has resulted in severa!
deaths.
CLYDE Archer met his death Tues
day, August IS. About year pre-
vious young Archer had killed his
an at French Lick. Ind, when he stab
bed Roy Stanficld, negihbor, who
accused Archer of stealing some mon
ey. He was acquitted in court on a
plea of self-defense.
Row Is of Old Standing
The two families had narDored ill
feelings against each other for many
years following the killing of Anna
bel Stanfield by Charles Archer, an
uncle of Clyde. The elder Archer was
acquitted of this crime, and a few
years later a brother of Clyde was
freed of a murder charge.
Back in 1882 Martin Archer was
killed by a man named Marley, who
was afraid Archer might tell of q lar
ceny job in which the murderer, his
victim and John B. Bunch We're impli
Gated, This killing aroused the ire of
the Archer family, the members OF
which swore vengeance.
The Archers, accompanied by John
Lynch, went in search of Marley and,
being unable to find him, discovered
Bunch. When Bunch declined to re-
veal the hiding place of Marley the
Archers bound him, took him to Salt
peter Cave, in Orange County, Ind,
u lonely spot near the home of Tom
Archer.
Here they again demanded of
Bunch that he tell where Marley was
hiding. AS Bunch repeated his state
lnent that he did not know the where
atouts of Marley the Archers shot him
to death and left his body in the cave
several days.
Later they removed the corpse,
placed it upon a pile of brush which
had been saturated with coal oil, and
burned it. Then tree was felled and
placed over the ashes to prevent dis
covery of the crime.
ConfcsScs to Crime

stricken, confessed to the crime. Fol-

The LGhus are one of the hitherto

Benny Leonard Will Battle Three Toughest
 Opponents in 23 Days

New York, June 16.-A new fight ing record is about to be hung up by Benny Leonard. who began today to dust of his armor like plumsd knight in preparation for jousts with three of the toughest opponents in the business within the extremely short space of 2S days. (
 Tex Rlekard has worked out two thirds of the original design and Poly Fitzsimmons has manipulated the other third. Jack Britton, world s welterweight champion; Lew Tender of Philadelphia and Rocky Kansas os Buffalo. are the trio who will fill 1t out.
 Three bouts within a month will net Benny at least a quarter Of million dollars, and if he can find the butt on which he steps, he will step out the welterweight champion of the world. the fourth fighting man since Napoleon to hold two championships. As Britton will not be down to 1S5 pounds Leonard s lightweight coronet will not be in danger.
 Leonards summer season will open June 26 at the New York yeledrome with Brittoh in 15-round no deci- sion bout, and on July 27 he will be back in Jersey City In q champion ship go with Tender. recognized as the most formidable contender. After that he may rest for while. No modern champion has such q record.
 Leonard has all to win and nothing to lose with Britton, for whom the opposite Is true. Leonard has only ms reputation and not his title at stake when he meets Kansas, though the Italian may be surprisingly better; but with Tender he Is taking a chance.
 Only three men have held more than one title at one time in boxing history: Bob Fitzsimmons, Terry Me Govern and Johnny Buff.
 Leonard who Is 26, has fought two previous no decision bouts with Brit ton, who is nearly 3s,
 Tender is 24 and has been boxing since 1916 when he was peddling papers in Philadelphia. Both he and Leonard have defeated Kansas. as the Buffalo man is not considered seri- ously in the running

 Locals Protest on
 InfieId Pop-up Tuesday

Memphis. June 16.-John D. Martin, president of the Southern association. in overruling protest filed by the Birmingham club of a game played in Birmingham Tuesday. and won by the Little Rock team. held today that in the Southern association an infield fly is rated as dead" ball on which base runners could not ad1 vance.
 On the play in question a Little, Rock runner, who attempted to adN vance from first to second base, was tagged with the ball by Birming- ham player. The umpire held that the ball was dead" and permitted the runner to return to first base. The Birmingham protest contended that the runner should have been called out.
 The league executive ruled, how ever, that the umpire'a action was correct, the Southern association fol- lowing the American league rule on such balls, which differs with pub lished playing rules on which the Birmingham protest was based.
