GROWERS FIX
POTATOPRICE
Frost Damage Will Be
Less Than First
Estimated

The original price Of 5 cents per
pound for new potatoes, fixed by The
advisory board Of the Valley Potato
Growers association, was again adopt
ed BY the board at their meeting
Monday afternoon. Reports from
market centers Indicated no basis for
m increase at this time, and the
board members stated they preferred

movement Of potatoes.
THE board is reversing It's Action

Of w. 4. McDavitt. Brownsville ship
per. Zach spring it is necessary
TO create a demand for new potatoes,
and l. believe il will be possible to
raise the price as soon as the de-
mand Is created. Heretofore the
board has started with q high price
and was forced to lower; this year
they are starting sc a moderate price,
and l believe rs soc as the market
Is created they can advance
McDavitt advises growers not 20

are ready TO market and 1t would be
advisable for them 70 await a better
demand and &C the same time permit
the tubers 70 develop.

30 per cent frost damage, and the po-
tato crop in Alabama has been seri-
ously damaged by cold wet weather.
The market for old potatoes Tuesday
morning was advancing steadily, in
dicating q corresponding advance for
new potatoes in a few days.
Growers in the area hit by frost
Sunday morning were more opti-
mistic Tuesday. The cold weather
Sunday and Monday aided the po-
tatoes, beans and tomatoes in re-
covering from the low temperature,
and growers forecast less damage
than originally estimated. Several
potato growers, who reported Sunday
that their crop was damaged 40 TO SO
per cent, stated Tuesday that dam
age would no exceed rs per cent.
Very few straight cars Of potatoes
are moving, and the heavy shipment
will not get underway until the
middle OF next week. Potatoes are
developing rapidly, and present indi-
cations are that the bulk Of the ship
ments will be good grades.
Beans were still selling at $500 per
hamper Tuesday morning. with irdi-
cations that the price will hold.
Heavy shipments are going cut Of
the upper Valley, and the movement
from Brownsville is steadily increas-
ing.
The cabbage movement declined 70

that the movement Tuesday would be
about the same, the price ranging
from SIS to $50 per ton according to

RADIO IS BETTER WITH BATTERY POWER
Flat cells are better
than round for "B" batteries

THE Eveready Layerbilt sB" Battery
No. $50 proves the superiority Of fiat
cells over cylindrical cells. I'm the
ordinary cylindrical cell "B' battery
the holes between the cells are usually
filed with pitch or some other mate
rial to insure the stability of the bat
terry and to prevent breaking the con-
nections. The Eveready Layerbilt does
away with all holes because it is made
up of fiat cells packed closely together
one on the other-like the leaves
of a book. The Eveready LayerbiIt is
all battery. Moreover, the flat cells
are more efficient - the active mate
rials produce more current when i'm
the fiat shape than the same quantity
of materials produce when i'm a cylin-
drical cell. That is why the Eveready
Layerbilt ouflasts every other type of
Eveready, and we are convinced il il
the longest lasting of all "B'' batteries.

CALAIS. France, July 20.-(RD-
Finding of the body of Captain AL
fred Lowenstein, Belgian financier,
today revived the mystery which sur
rounds his death.
IL was believed the French gov
ernment would begin an official in
quiry TO establish whether death was
accidental or suicidal 'and whether
any Of his fellow passengers on the
fatal plane trip share possibility
for his death. Discovery of the body
definitely set at rest rumors that the
mystery man of European finance
had perpetrated a gigantic hoax and
was still alive.
Authorities still have 20 determine
whether he fell accidentally from his
plane in crossing the channel or de-
liberately wrenched open the exit
door and plunged to his death.
DR.. Boulfroy, who examined the
body. found nothing to show the ex-
act cause of death, whether he was
drowned or killed by the shock OF
the fall from a height Of 1000 feet.
All he could do was to make abso-
lutely certain of the identity by com
parison of the dental work with work
that IL was known that Captain Low
