prices for supplies and manufactured
goods while he receives comparatively
low prices for his products. In short
his purchasing power is low. AS
prices at the farm gate rise. the farm
er's purchasing power also grows. This
is what has been happening in the last
II months.
The purchasing power of the farm
dollar is still far below what it should
be, in the view of most observers. But
the fact cannot be denied that it is i'm
proving month by month.
In May, the level of prices of the 10
principal crops stood at 40 per cent
| above 1918. This represents the peak
point since July, 1922. The decline
from 40 to 80 per cent above 1913 be-
tween May and July of this year is due
to seasonal influences and does not
spell the beginning of another long
drop in prices

weapons and the exhibition of animal
ferocity which ensued was as fearful
a thing as the most disordered imagi-
nation could picture. They tore at
each others eyes and ears with their
hnnds and with their cleaning tusks
repeatedly slashed and .gored until
both were cut fairly to ribbons from
head to foot.
Bar Comas had much the better of
the battle as he was stronger, quicker
and more intelligent. 1t soon seemed
that the encounter was done saving
only the final death thrust when Bar
COmas slipped in breaking away from
a clinch. 1t was the one little opening
that Oak Koya needed, and hurting
himself at the body of his adversary he
buried his single mighty tusk in Bar
Comas' groin and with last powerful
effort ripped the young jeddak wide
open the full length of his body, the
great tusk finally wedging in the
bones of Bar Comas jaw. Victor and
vanquished rolled limp and lifeless
upon the moss, a huge mass of torn
and bloody flesh
Bar Comas was stone dead, and only
the most herculean efforts on the part
of Oak Kova's females saved him
from tht Fate he deserved. Three
days later he walked without assist
ance to the body of Bar Comas which,
by custom, had not been moved from
where it fell, and placing his feot
upon the neck of his erstwhile ruler
he assumed the title Of Jeddak of
Warhoon.
The injuries to Oak Kova had de-
layed the march so greatly that it was
decided to give up the expedition
which was a raid upon a small Thark
community in retaliation for the de
struction of the Incubator, until after
the great games, and the entire body
of warriors, ten thousand in number
turned back toward WarhoOn.
We reached the city Of Warhoon
after some three days march and
was Immediately cast into dungeon
and heavily chained to the floor and
walls. Food was brought me at inter
walls but owing to the utter darkness
of the place I do not know whether I
lay there days, or weeks, or months.
No sound reached sne from the world (
above and no word would my jailer
vouchsafe when my food was brought |
to me, although I at first bombarded /
him with questions.
