Jardire Reports Farm Situation

ton-Improvement in the
agricultural situation continued in a
moderate degree throughout 1925, but
as yet farmers have not reached an
economic parity with other groups OF
producers, William M. Jardine, secre-
tary of agriculture, said in his annual
report. The continued betterment OF
agriculture has reached a point, he
said, where the position Of the farm
ers on the whole is now the most IA
vorable since 1920. THE heavy net
movement of rural population away
from farms has been checked" the
secretary said in his report. Mote
worthy progress has been made in the
liquidation of Indebtedness among
farmers. Purchase Of supplies and
materials for farm use has been re-
sumed over the country on a scale
contributing measurably to general
business prosperity"

Foul Play Theory Unten- able - Alcoholism May Be Cause-AnaIysis Is Ordered.

Los Angeles, Oct. 19 P--Doubt today still clouded the sudden death here Saturday of Mrs. Craig Riddle, wealthy Philadelphia society woman, but police and district attorneys in vestigators admitted small evidence remained on which to build any theory involving foul play.
 After a post-mertem examination yesterday, pr. A. f. Wagner,'county autopsy surgeon, said death ap- peared to have been due to alco- holism. There were no anatomical indications of poison having been administered or taken in fatal dos age, he added, though a chemical analysis of stomach and vital organs might reval important data on that subject.
 Such a chemical analysis has been ordered and until the results are known, probably not for several days, the investigation of Mrs. Bid dle's death will remain open. Should the chemists report reveal no trace of poison, Dr. Wagner said the cause of death would be officially entered in the records as alcoholism In that case. it was announced al the district attorneys office, no in quest will be necessary.
