Farm Price Slump
Hold Over World.
All Nations Strive To
Maintain Agricultural
Values.

WASHINGTON. = According tc
the department of commerce the out
standing features of the year 1921 ir
the international trade has been a
gradual lowering of prices through
out the world for most of the import
ant food products. This has resulted
in general agricultural distress in prac-
tically all the surplus producing coun-
tries such as South America, Austria
liza, Canada and the United States and
rather free selling, even at the low
prices. There has been general pro-
test in some of the European coun-
tries by the farm organizations, who
contend that their own markets are
being demoralized through the pour
ing in of cheap American wheat and
meat In certain countries where
price-fixing still holds, such as Ger
many and Poland, the price of home
grown rye and wheat is lower than
the imported article
AS result of the rapid decline in
prices, there has been an organized
movement in practically all the sur
plus countries seeking government re-
lief or protection. However, these
great economic changes that produce
world price levels are much larger than
governments, and therefore no govern
mental agency has been able to de-

Map Out New Plan
For U. S. Shipping.
Merchant Marine May
Be Subsidized by
Government.

WASHINGTON.-Chairman A. d
Lasker has completed a plan for ar
American ship subsidy and it is ready
for presentation to President Harding
The important feature of the plar
is that it provides for a reasonable
profit for ship operators. While
Lasker said he did not wish to dis.
cuss details of the plan, he admitted
that it established limit to profits
which could be made by operators, anc
that the first burden of earnings would
be placed on the indirect subsidy
import duties, tonnage allotments ant
mail subventions Mr.. Lasker furth.
er said that the plan is to have the
subsidy administered by the shipping
board under the direction of the Sec
retary of the treasury.
Within two years from July /, it is
hoped that the shipping board will
be able to get out of ship operation,
according to Mr.. Lasker. The pres
ent charter1ng system will be con-
tinued, the Chairman saidl with a
minimum of loss and an increased ef-
ficiency "to which the results of the
past cannot be compared" Financial
statements of the board are submitted
as proof that costs of operation have
decreased and that greater confidence
exists toward shipping board opera
tions.
World shipping conditions are ex-
pected to improve. The surplus ton
mage is expected to disappear, but in
the meantime the board will retain the
present chartering system, although it
is not in sympathy with it. "How-
ever" Mr.. Lasker added, "our month
ly operating loss on actual voyage ac-
counts is less than $1,000000, in re-

Census Bureau Makes
Final Tabulations on
Population.

WASHINGTON-The bureau OF
the census has issued statement
showing the total male population Of
the United States to be 53,o00,43l
which included 36,920,663 men and
boys IS years of age and over Oh
the latter number, 12,967,5 SOS were
single, 21,S49,266 were married, L.
1885, ,308 were widowed, 235,2S4 were di-
vorced and for the remaining no.
240 the marital condition was not as
certained by the enumerators.
The total number of females in the
United States, 51,S101So, included 35,-
177,515 women and girls IS years OF
age and over Of the latter number
o,616,o02 were single, 21,318933 were
married, 3,917,625 were widowed, 273,-
304 were divorced, and for the remain
ing 50,751 the marital condition was
not reported. The difference of $780,
333 between the numbers of married
men and of married women was due
principally to the presence in the Unit
ed States Of many foreign-born mar
ried men who had left their wives in
the countries of their former residence.
The census figures give no indica-
tion of the total number of persons
who have been divorced, but show
merely the number of divorced persons
who had not remarked at the time the
census was taken.

Cities Should Know~
Condition of Water.

WASHINGTON.-A knowledge of
the mineral content of city water sup
plies is of sufficient industrial value
to justify more cities to make such
analyses, according to the bureau of
chemistry, United States department
OF agriculture. The quality of the
water of locality, it is pointed out,
may be the controlling factor in the
location of such industries as steam
making, brewing. distilling, paper

Bill Would Put End
To Bank Suuabbles,

WASHINGTON Declaring that
his scheme would end the fight be-
tween country banks and Federal re-
serve banks over par collection of
checks, Chairman McFadden, of the
banking committee, introduced a bill
providing that bank not member
OF the Federal reserve system may
elect whether it will make an exchange
charge when remitting for checks
drawn upon it. If the bank decides
to do so, it will be required to pay
similar charges for the service rem
dered by the Federal reserve banks
in the collection of such checks.

Europe Continues
Best u. S. Trader.
Exports for 1921 are far
Above the 1918
Figure.

WASHINGTON.-Europe is still
our greatest customer and our over
seas transactions with the countries OF
that region during 1921 considerably
surpass 1913 figures, says the depart
ment of commerce in brief statement
for the year based on eleven months
statistics. The total value of our
trade with European countries in 1921
probably approximated $3.50, 100000
as against 81, ,49o, ,573,363 in 1918. More
detailed figures will be issued later
but even with the lower value of the
dollar our trade was larger than 1918
The United Kingdom is our best
customer in Europe and in fact in the
world, while Germany has risen to
sea4td slace in Europe as consumer
of American goods. Our exports to
Germany during 1921 exceeded by
about $25,0OO,OOO our exports to that
country in 1915. The final 1921 fig
ures for Germany will show an in
crease in value over 1920. AS COM
pared with 1913, American exports to
Italy in 1921 also show a great in
crease
Imports from Europe to the United
States during 1921 were approximate
ly $76O,h00,0O0, as against 1854, ,666, 103
in 1918. American imports from
France slightly exceeded in value those
of 1918. Imports from the United
Kingdom were slightly less than in
1913, while imports from Germany
were less than half the pre-war figures.

TOBACCO TRUST
IS j N De R FIRE
F e d eral Commission
Charges big Concerns
With Price Fixing.

WASHINGTON - The Federal
Trade commission in report to the
senate in answer to recent resolu-
ton by Senator Smith of South Caro-
lima, asserts that three of the prin-
ciple tobacco manufacturing compan-
les successor to the old tobacco COM
bination are engaged in conspiracies
with numerous jobbers associations
in order to keep up jobbers' prices at
war levels and to prevent a fall of
manufacturers prices, though prices
paid to tobacco farmers for leaf had
fallen greatly.
The report says that the evidence
shows that the American Tobacco
Co., p. Lorillard Co., and to a less
extent Liggett & Myers Tobacco Co.,
three of the successor companies of
the old tobacco combination, which
was dissolved under an antitrust de-
cree in 1911, have each been engaged
in conspiracies with numerous section
al and local jobbers' association to
keep up the prices of tobacco products
in the United States through price
agreements and intimidations. Dur
ing the same period the relation be-
tween supply of leaf tobacco and the
demand for it has resulted in such
low prices to growers that tobacco
farmers raising the more important
types, hurley and bright Southern,
have formed marketing associations
to sell their tobacco crops coopera-
lively. The report goes on to say
that the conditions of price fixing are
found in the tobacco trade during
periodswhen public attention has been
constantly directed toward the ap-
parently unwarranted spread between
producers and consumers prices in
agricultural products generally. In
this connection it is noteworthy that
two of the successor companies re-
fused access to correspondence nIes,

wise a scheme that could thwart or
apparently delay the gradual settling
of prices to lower levels. In general
production appears to have decreased
in practically all the surplus produc-
ing countries, whereas it has shown
marked increase throughout Eur
ope. The European wheat crop this
year, excluding Russia, is 1,187 7,000,-
600 bushels and is equal to the pre-
wat .normal production of the le
countries reporting. The increase of
thl tropean wheat and rye crop this
year over last is 238O00,0OO bushels.

European nations would have to per-

Europe could not prosper with an IN

Division Call To Be Issued

The immediate need in certain Cur
opean countries Tor garments OF Ell
kinds adult as we'll as children's is
so serious that it is earnestly hop
ed the chapters will continue pro
ductiOn with undated enthusiasm.
The situation in Russia is especially
appealing and it is planned to ship
children's garments there as rapidly
a. possibly.
The foregoing report just received
from American Red Cross headquar-
ters in Europe setting forth the dire
need for clothing of all forms the
basis of an appeal that will go to the
341 chapters OF the Red Cross in
New York, New Jersey, Delaware
Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Connec-I
ticuj to redouble their efforts in gar
menC production so that thousands Of
destitute persons may get warm
clothing before it is too late. 1t is
planned 10 push the work with great
ViSOr during the Lenten period. Az
r&uGcmentS have been made by the
Red Gross with the American Friends
Service Committee, which is now op
Grating in the above countries, to con
output OF the Red Cross Workrooms.
While a steady stream Of clothinS,
including garments made from " orn
and discarded materials, knitted ar
tiCleS and baby leyettes, has been 60
ing overseas since late last summer,
many Of the Red Cross wOrkrOoms IN
the Atlantic Division remaining open
through the hot weather in order
that the shipments should not be
halted. the demand for apparel of all
kinds has exceeded the supply.
American Relief Administration, now
engaged III distributing foOdstuffs TO
the destitute populations, has en-
phasized the necessity of increasiE
the supply of clothing if many lives
are to be saved. The American Red
Cross, in addition to providing cloth
ing, has been supplying medical ale
in the needy countries.
The call to chapters for increased
production embraces an appeal to the
school children of the Junior Red
Cross to take an active part in fill
ing the emergency order.

TOday's Newspaper Jokes

Total circulation OF all American
newspapers has doubled in the last
eight years according to the state
ment of one who knows the facts.
This is a long stride forward. 1t
means that the average person IS
twice as well informed about what is
going on, all over the earth. as he
was in 1914. This is one real benefit
of the World War, which aroused
great curiosity and got people in the
habit of seeking facts-news. Per
haps to counteract the tragedy OF
war more than twice as many jokes
have appeared in the press OF the
world during the past three years.
This fact is voucher for by the edi-
torial staff of Topics OF the Day,

The annual address of President
e. d. Pierson which was TO have

appreciative audience Thursday af-
ternoon in tho auditorium of the
Terrell High School. 1t was made

He said in part "The object of this
association as expressed in its con-
stitution is to promote the progress
of education in tbs State of Texas"
1t can best do TIM by using its in
fluence to secure better teachers,
higher salaries, longer school terms,
better school buildings and equip
ment, and securing more lofty pro-
fessional ethics. 1t is fact that
we cannot carry out the purpose of
the association unless we do those
things which are calculated to raise
our educational standard, both as to
moral fitness and mental efficiency.
