G PRICE TREND PROVES IRREGULAR
Liqht PorkerS Go 10 Cents
LoWer-Heavies Are
Higher.

The hog market ruled irregular in
the initial session Of the week at the
Indianapolis Livestock Exchange. A
small demand for light weight ma
terial forced that grade of stuff Zoe
lower while a strong demand for
the heavier grades of porkers forced
them 10c higher.
The run was estimated at $4,000,
and was absorbed readily. The top
price of s14.25 was placed on choice
light weight porkers. The bulk of
the matured stuff sold over a price
range of s12.65@14.
Hog Price Scale
Trading was done over the follow
ing scale of values: Heavy weights
brought $11S5013; mediums were
$13.2561350: lights averaged $3.50
OLA: light lights commanded a price
of $14; pigs moved at $13.5OQ1 IA;
smooth packing sows sold at S11@
lips; rough packing sows cashed at
$1O.5O611 and stays were SS911.
The cattle market was slow be
cause of the absence of several of
the more important traders. Values
held about steady, in spite of this
light demand from the buyers. Re
ceipts were estimated at 700 head Of
cattle. Steers were priced at S6@ll;
heifers, 5000 and cows $5@S.
Western Lambs Arrive
Receipts in the sheep and lamb
division of the exchange were esti-
mated at 900, but only a little more
than 100 were actually in the open
market. Western feeding lambs,
numbering 100, arrived late Saturday
and were sold that afternoon at a
top price of $14. This offering was
included in today's Official receipt
count. Prices on native lambs held
about steady at S12.50W13.5O and
sheep were priced at S4dS.
The calf market proved to be
thigh roller" and prices were boost
ed so cents at the start Of the regu-
lar trading period. Best veals were
prices at SIS and the bulk of the
sales were made from $14.5OQ15.
Receipts were estimated at 400. A
heavy demand was the cause Of the
price increases.

Job Hunting Chorus Girls
With the revues running, the cho-
rus girl suffers less from lack OF en-
ployment here than the actor. Those
who do not find a place in vaudeville
or musical shows turn to stores, tea
shops, cafes, night clubs and any
other work which will give them an
opportunity to look for engagements.
Among the actors remaining here
and not regularly engaged, the time
is spent mostly in production or
movie work. Numerous plays are
given summer try-outs in nearby
towns and cities and then brought
back and tucked away. II found &C
ceptable for the new season, which
begins blooming in August to bios

Believe Young
Hindu Chosen by
Christ to Work Will

London, June 27.-((P))-Attack s
by Theosophists upon Mrs. Annie
Besants proclama ton of Krishna-
murti as the great teacher. through
whom a new dispensation will be
revealed to the world, apparently
have been futile.
There have been some dissenters
IN theosophical meetings attended
by Mrs. Besant in London, but the
venerable high priestess has appar-
emily silenced the storm which
threatened before she arrived in
England with the unusual young
man who heads the Order of the
Star In the East, of which Mrs. Be-
SAINT is guardian.
Mrs. Besant believes the young
Hindu teacher was chosen when a
child to be the vessel through which
the Christ, or the Lord Maitreya Of
the Hindus, is to make known His
will.
In discussing Krishnamurti with
representative of The Associated
Press, Mrs. Besant said:
"Christs ministry lasted but three
years. His body was crucified But
the great spirit lived. and, assum-
ing a different form which was able
to pass through doors and vanish
~ 'A'i' iIC hPpCdlGu W his ulSCl-
pies at various places. He told them
He would come again.
This coming has been fastened
slightly because of the present
world crisis. That has been reveal
ed to me. Again the Christ, the
Lord Maitreya. or the great world
teacher. as you will, has chosen to
manifest Himself in one. who. like
the man Jesus. is of a despised and
downtrodden race. l was told this
while Krishnamurti was still a
child
HE first gave evidence Of his
mission on what I regard as an his
toric date. December %. 1924, at the
jubilee of the Philosophical Society
in India. He is an eloquent and
fluent speaker in his normal condi-
ton, but suddenly he spoke with a
voice not his own. A hushed spell
came over that huge gathering of
some twenty thousand persons, as.
like one inspired. he gave a mes
sage TO prepare for the second COM
ing of Christ. SO far that is the
only occasion OF which Krishnamur-
Il has spoken in public as the voice
of Christ"
From the boys earliest childhood.
Mrs. Besant said, he was able to
send his spirit from his body at will,
and while his body slept his spirit
was away gathering wisdom which
he has recorded in his writings.
