LOOKING INTO PRICES
BEING PAID FOR HOGS
Secretary Wallace Seeking to Ascer-
tain Cause of Low Prices.

Investigation as to whether the pre-
vailing low prices being paid for hogs
are the result OF undue influences, is
being made by Secretary Wallace at
Washington.
Over period of fifty years, the
secretary has found, the value of 100
pounds OF hogs has been approximate
ly the equivalent of II bushels of No.
2 corn at Chicago prices but the price
has fallen to such an extent as com
pared with the rising price OF corn
that the corn-hog ratio at present IS
much out of line with normal.
Hogs closed last week around 81
per 100 pounds, for the average bulk
of sales, while corn closed the week
at S1.07 bushel The low price OF
hogs for the year was $6.65 for the
week of June lilo when corn sold
at "a cents. There was gradual IN
crease in prices until the week OF Sep;
1915. when the average Of packer and
shippers purchases was $50 Corn
sold that week at an average OF ~
cents. Ia the last month hog prices
have declined more than $3.50 hun
bred pounds, while the price OF corn
has increased u cents bushei.

The fire department was called to
The Dawson News office at 7:3O
o'clock Saturday night in response to
an alarm turned in by negro who

Another alarm was turned in early

COTTON THIEF IS
CAUGHT IN DAWSON
BALE STOLEN IN LEE COUN-
TY BY NEGRO rs FOUND IN
LOCAL WAREHOUSE.

Will Powell, negro tenant on the
farm of Dr. c. L. Ketchum, of Adams
Station, was caught red-handed in
Dawson with a bale of stolen cotton
Wednesday, He was turned over to
the Lee county authorities.
Sheriff Woods received a telephone
message from Lee county officials to
be on the lookout for the negro, who
was said to be headed toward Dawa
son with the cotton. The sheriff i'm
mediately got busy and found the cot
ton at one of the local warehouses,
where Powell had left it and said he
would be back in short while to get
the money. Sheriff Woods waited, and
when the negro returned he got his
Change" in the form of handouts.
AT the sheriff's Office Powell con-
fessed to stealing the cotton and also
acknowledged that it was the second
bale he had stolen this season besides
large quantities of peanuts The other
bale, he said. was carried to Americas
and sold.
Nabs Another Cotton Thief.
When John Wimbush, negro tenant
on Mr.. John Hills place, near Bron-
wood, was in the act of entering one
of the local banks to get check cash
ed Chief of Police Hill nabbed him
and escorted him to the city jail.
A telephone message from Bron-
wood had requested the chief to be on
the lookout for the negro who was
headed toward Dawson with a load
OF seed cotton When Mr. Hill begun
his search he found that a check had
already been given the negro for the
cotton
Wimbush declared that he brought
a load Of wood to town, but after real
ling that the game was up" he adj
mitted his guilt. In the meantime Mr..
Hill arrived from Brentwood and the
check and negro were both turned
over to him.
Considerable thieving, much more
than usual, is now being reported to
the officers, due to short crops and
scarcity of money.
