responsibility Of his statements but
hid behind a series of assumed and
fictitious names whereby he hoped to

Accusations Fall Flat.
His statements We're never taken
seriously by anybody, and the rank

county laughed at his unintelIigibIe

so-called friends and on the strength

HOG PRICES Are
LOWEST OF YEAR
Heavy Runs At All Points Bring
About Fresh Declines - Cattle
Prices Fail to Reach Under Light
Run-Sheep and Lambs Steady.

(By U. S. Bureau of Agricultural
Economies and Minnesota Dept. of
AgricUlture).
South st. Paul, Mimi, June "a.
1924: Bullish corn prices are SEEM
ingly causing livestock producers to
iquidate their stock from the feed
lots especially hogs, receipts Of which
are some $4,000 more at seven prin-
clpal markets in the aggregate this
week than last.
Prices of hogs dropped fully 25c
on Monday and this decline was in
creased to 35c today when buyers
offered steady to 10c lower prices on
butcher and bacon material, bringing
current prices to the lowest levels of
the year. Best butcher and bacon
hogs sold at S6.65 while mixed Offer
ings brought S6.40 to $3.50 with less
finished kinds down to S6.25. Pack
ing sOws sold from $3.50 too $500
with pigs largely S5.75 to S5.85.
The cattle market continued very
dull and but for the light local re-
ceipts which offset the bearish re-
ports from Chicago the market would
undoubtedly have been lower.
Steer stuff topped in load lots at
S8.85, bulk selling at $500 to $3.50.
Fat she stock continued slow at $3.50
to $500 for common and medium
cows and heifers. Gamers and cut
ters were listed at 1925 to $500 with
bologna bulls mostly $375 to S4.25.
Veal calves looked stronger on paper
dCe to the improved quality, top sorts
going to packers at S725 to $3.50
mainly. Stockers and feeders were
nominally steady.
Only handful cf sheep arrived in
the sheephouse and the market was
aSsout steady. Better grade native
lambs brought S12.25 to S13.25 with
straight culls $500 and fat sheep
from $500 to S5.25.

Enough Of this bread Is made at one t;,king to last 8 whole winter. Holes are punched in the cakes co that they can be strung on a pole. and placed across the ceiling. IL often happens in some Of the peasant homes Of northern Norway that a man can re ach Up and tear of a piece Of this bread as he wants it.
 Tortillas; I1apjacks by Another
 Name.
 Tn Syria the hearth is often two stones between which fasots are placed and the bread is cooked on an iron plate placed on top.
 Some of the Indian tribes of the Pacific slopes Of the United States make a kind Of four from acorns which they soak in boiling water. the sun. The tortilla of the Mexican is almost as much part Of his cos tune or background as his huge peaked hat. It is a kind Of flapiack which it takes a cultivated taste and a gastronomic trick or two to appre- ciate. It is made from Indian corn which has been parboiled and crushed into paste and is baked on an Iron or stone plate but not enough to make the tortilla brown.
 "Cassava root makes one of the principal foods of the people of tropical America. From the coarse meal, somewhat resembling oatmeal, thin round cakes are made.
 Scotch and Indians Have Scones.
 Tn India the natives eat round, flat cakes Of unleayened wheat bread called 'chapatties' The cook shapes them with his hands and bakes them on a griddle on the coals. They re- semble to some etxent the thin sheets made of wheat flour and water. called scones, which are eaten in Scotland.
 "One of the most interesting of the Unleavened breads is the Passover bread which has been used by ortho- dox Jews since the time Of Moses. It is made much like the most primitive bread--a mixture Of flour and water baked in round cakes-and resemble the calcined remains Of cakes made from coarsely ground grain which have been recovered from the Swiss lake dwellings of the Stone Age. In those days, however. the grains used were barley and a one grained wheat.
 First Bread From Barley.
 Psychologists believe that barley was the first grain used by the an- cients in their bread making, but wheat must have come into use soon after barley. Loaves of bread are represented in sculpture on ancient
