WHEAT PRICE FIXING
CALLED FUTILE PLAN
Farmers Raising Too Much Grain
for Stable Market, Says Rep
reSentatiye Anderson.

BY the Associated Press.
OWATONNA, MINI, August 21.-
The government cannot stabilize the
price of wheat" Sydney Anderson.
representative from the first Mime
sofa district, declared in an address
yesterday before the Rotary Club, and
added that the price of wheat would
return to normal when the farmers
got back to normal acreage.
Mr.. Anderson declared that the gov
ernment's impotency lay in the fact
that the price of wheat would come
down, regardless of acts Of Congress,
if a price on wheat was set which
would tend to induce the farmers to
raise more of this grain. Under such
conditions, he said, the government
would not hold the sack" indef1-
nitely.
The congressman pointed out that
farmers are raising 61.000.000 acres
of wheat. where they raised $4,000. 900
in 1915. when they were called on to
raise enough to feed the world.

Man Blue in Au His Organs,
Autopsy on Freak Discloses

NEW YORK, August 81. Fred
Walters. whose bright blue skin had
made him a good living for many
years in sideshows. died yesterday in
Bellevue Hospital from heart disease.
Physicians who made careful ex-
animation of Walters body discov-
cred to their amazement that not
only his skin, but all his organs and
tissues, including. brain. heart and
muscles, were of the same brilliant
color.
The coloring," the doctors an

nounced, was due to 'argyria' and
chronic silver poisoning. Some forty
years ago Walters is said to have
worked in a mine in Australia. If
this report is correct, it is probable
that while in the mine Walters
breathed into his body nitrate of sill
yer, which turned him blue"
Walters is survived by his widow
and siX-year- daughter
He was an officer in the 18th Regi-
ment. Duke of Cambridge's own
Lancers. and saw service in India,
In maneuvers he was thrown and his
horse fell on him. A theory expressed
by European scientists was that this
fall was responsible for his colorinG.
Prof. Verscher of Berlin, after a thor
ough examination, said he believed
the colorinE was caused by the OPEN
ing of Il small valve in the heart,
caused by the shock when the horse
fell on Walters chest. The valve.
known as the foramen ovale, was said
to be damaged so that circulation of
blood was impeded, and the venous
blood mixed with the arterial.
