IMPORT AND
EXPORT PRICES
1913 AND 1923

Washington. April s--Priee COM
parsons Of our imports and exports
for December 1913 and 1923 pro-
sen some interesting points with
out establishing any general princi-
pie other than that tarin rates had
little to do with import prices. Some
increases In import prices were
marked. particularly In the raw tex
tile group. Gnd some decreases were
appreciable. Export prices As a
rule showed increases. and sgricul-
tural export showed much better
prices than In December 1918.
An average pound price Of cattle
hides In December 1913 was 1914
cents and 1875 cents in December
1928: calf hides 34.6 C. and 24.se.
They were free under the law OF
1913 and the law of 1923. The
Plate River region 10 still our chief
source OF supply. Imports Of hides
and skins during the yea 1913
totaled 4ss.ooo.oo0 pounds. and
5s1,600,o 900 pounds in 1923.
The change in rubber imports is
for the full rear 1913 totaled 49,
tho total was es1.oO0.OO0 pounds
valued at lS5.000.o0O or about
26c q pound. In 1913 Brazil and
Britain split u market. but in 1923
British interests controlled about
rs per cen Of the business and they
are now getting ready to boO,t the
prices to the war level.
The large increases in textile
crudes can not be attributed alto
| gether to the tariff. The price OF
clothing wool in December 1913
was free under both laws. but the
ranged from 17.6 to 25.2c a pound
and 81 to $3.50 in 1923. Raw silk
price In December 1913 was 1885
and in December 1898 1928 a
pound. Egyptian cotton rose from
10 to 32.1c-free in both laws.
Hacked max and hemp were free
under the 1913 law and dutiable at
$40 a ton under the 1923 law. but
the former rose from $341.34 to
s1.OS6.72. and the after from $171
to S319.10 a ton: sisal free in both
laws. fell from $121.31 to $ll2.0S
n ton.
Other crudes were tin ore. free
40.5 to 39.2c a pound; copper, free
14.5 t o 12.1c a pound; quebracho
free. the Argentine wood used fol
tanning leather. 90 to 80 a pound

from $34.b9 to $45.4s a ton: news
print (free) from Is to 3.8c a
pound. Under the present tarif law
a duty OF l 7-Sc a pound was levied
levied on the metallic content OF
ferro-manganese. which of course
could not ave accounted for the
rise In price from $39.07 to 1870
a ton. Evidently higher production
costs are also accountable for these
increases. Import prices above cited
were determined before duties were
assessed.
OF the agricultural exports -four

Wheat from s3.3 t 31.l2: corn

and onions from $1.l5 to $l.67 a
bushel. Rice went from 80 to AZ:
cotton 1928 to 34.1: tobacco leaf 1872
to 3b.3: and cotton-seed oil from
IL to l0.2 cents a pound. In the
fruit group dried apes went from
g I o10 cents; prunes 6.3 to 6.6:
and raisins 10 to 81 cents a pound;
oranges from 32.6s to 33.42 a box.

December 1913 to 1910 in December
1923: hams 14.1 to IS: ard lis to

cheese 1871 to 2s.5 cents . pound.
Samon went from 81 to 1+.4c a
pound.
These are some OF the principle
items taken from the official tables
OF the department Of Commerce. but
they by no means exhaust the list.
They are indicative OF the Tact that
while price levels have changed,
the tariff has little to do with the
fact. On the other hand. the vast
increases In the purchase OF crude
products. and the fair increase in
exports Of manufactured goods,
show painy enough that the tariff
has benefited industry. which in
turn benefits agriculture in the long
run,

onte that over 10000 pounds OF the

If Kidneys Act
Bad Take Salts
Says Backache Often Means You
Have Not Been Drinking
Enough Water

When you wake up with backache and
mean you have been eating foods which
create acids, says well-known author
ity. An excess of such acids overworks
the kidneys in their effort to filter it
from the blood and they become sort of
parayzed and loggy. When your kid
neys get sluggish and clog you must
relieve them, like you relieve your
bowels, removing all the body's urinous
waste, else you have backache, sick
headache, dizzy spells; your stomach
sours, tongue is coated and when the
weather is bad you have rheumatic
twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of
sediment, channels often get sore, water
scalds and you are obliged to seek relief
two or three times during the night.
Either consult a good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys may then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for years to
help clean and stimulate sluggish kid
neys, also to neutralize acids in the
system, so they no longer irritate, thus
often relieving bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, can not in
jure and makes a delightful, efferves-
cent lithia-w water drink. Drink lots of
soft water. BY all means have your
physician examine your kidneys at least
twice a year.

tie these to the end OF long sticks.

hogs selected for removal and after
the hogs have come under the infu

being made to discover the indentity OF
the thieves, so the gangs may be

Census bureau reports published IN

grown another bumper crop and
placed the number of bales at only one

based upon gin reports OF December

was great rejoicing, while among the
church folks and prOhibitionlsts there
was immediate activity The city
council had allowed the sale by vote
of four to two. Mass meetings were

had before. four votes for the sale and
two against. Aldermen Stewart, Nc
Nulty, Deubler and Lowrey favored
the sale, while Aldermen Davis and
Hamilton opposed it.
That there were men in Dawson
alive to business opportunity was
