WASHINGTON, Aug. Is. U.P)-
The present drought situation and
resultant crop shortage hold no jus
tification of greatly inflated retail
prices on farm products. Secretary
of Agriculture Hyde said today at
ter comforting with President HooN
er on final preparations fer tom@r-
rows governors conference mere.
His department has received 10
reports of attempts at profit3crin2
and he is confident the crisis will BE-
passed without undue increases To
individual consumers. Hyde Saia.
He pointed out that while shortage
exist, for the most part theT
in foods for cattle and not foods
for human consumption.
Shortly after Hyde's conference
with the president. Representative"
La Guardia, Republican. New York,
called to protest to Mr.. Hoover
against a tendency he said bad aP-
pearcd in New York city to increase
the price of meat. butter, eggs,
vegetables and milk. At ;h' prcSi-
dents suggestion, he went To con
fer with Hyde about the situation.
Unless the price rise is checked,
he said. the consumer must take
drastic action. The New York mem
ber said he would urge the agri-
culture department to make pdb';r
figures on production of meat, but
ter, eggs, vegetable sand milk, n
order that the consumer might
know whether prices were Justified.
"Mv aim. - lie said. is TO pro-
tect the consumer from a hold-ur.
I don't want the consumer T.
get caught between the protitrerS
and the farmer.'
He said that while there is a sur
plus of meat and wheat, that the
prices of bread and meat have not
come down as they should.
John Barton Payne, chairman of
the Red Cross. also called upon
President Hoover today and in
formed the chief executive that the

He explained that local ~hapters
have been instructed TO proceed,
without further authorization from
the national organization, with re
lief for any local distress. and that
this is being done.
Payne said he expected relief
would be needed in the fall. Ii the
organization finds that its $4,000
600 fund is not sufficient, he said.
he would ask President Hoover to

BLAZE DESTROYS SUMMER
RESIDENCE AT DEER PARK
A. T. Watson Home, Adjoining
Deer Park Hotel, Burns

Fire of undetermined origin early
Friday morning entirely destroyed
the large frame summer dwelling Of
A. T. Watson, at Deer Park. AS far
as can be learned the blaze started
about 8 a. m, but was not discovered
until the flames had gained great
Roadway, and attempts to save the
building and furnishings were use
less.
The home, during winter months,
was unoccupied, but was looked after
by Mr.. Jankey, of Deer Park, who
lived nearby. 1t contained approx
mately forty rooms and was valued at
more than 100000.
1t was used as summer home for
the family of Mr.. Watson, former
coal operators of Fairmont, W. Va.
The dwelling adjoined the famous
Deer Park hotel property. The loss
is partly covered by insurance.
