LEVEL OF FARM
PRICES SHARPLY
DOWN FOR YEAR
Large Stocks, Light De-
mand Contribute to Drop
in All Commodities.

By Seripps-Hoi0drd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, July 14.-Here is
the farm problem in three SEN
fences:
The farm price of cotton for the
five years from 1909 to 1914 aver
aged 12.4 cents per pound. The
farm price of cotton on June Is,
1881, was ~ cents.
The farm price of wheat averaged
1874 cents per bushel before the war,
and was SIG cents last mid-month.
Hogs were 1924 per 100 pounds
before the war, but at the middle
Of last month the price was $50.
Most of the difncuities of the
farmer, whose relief has been a ma
tlonal problem and a national issue
for years, are indicated by those
figures just made public by the
United States bureau of agricultural
economics.
The general level Of farm prices
has been sharply declining for more
than a year, and it dropped severely
again between last May IS and June
Is, the bureau showed In its survey.
Hogs Off 10 Per Cent
The bureau found that at 80 per
cent OF the pre-war level on June
10, the index of prices received by
farmers was six points lower than
in the middle of May, 40 points
lower than a year earlier, and at
a new low level for the period COW
cred by the record, that is, 1910 to
1881.
Here are some of the bureaus ex-
plantations:
HogS-An unusually weak demand
for pork and pork products resulted
IN 10 per cent decline in the farm
price Of hogs from May IS to June
Is. Although hog marketings have
been considerably below those of a
year ago, exports of pork and lard
have dropped considerably, domes-
tic consumption of pork apparently
Is lower and storage stocks continue
relatively large.
Cattle-The farm price of beef
cattle declined about 7 per cent in,
the month. Indications point to
the weakening consumer demand
Tor beef as the principal reason for
lower cattle prices.
Potatoes Drop Is Per Cent
Coma continued low rate of
consumption resulted in per
cent decline in the farm price of
corn.
Wheat-The June Is farm price
OF wheat averaged SIG cents per
buShel. This represented a decline
OF 13 per cent in the month, and
approximately Al per cent in the
year. Beginning of new crop
marketing season in the south, GER
tainty of large carry-over of old
wheat, and partial readjustment of
domestic market prices to an ex-
port basis were among reasons
given for the large drop.
Cotton-A reduction in domestic
consumption, abundant supplies and
'curtailment of European mill ac-
tivity resulted in the sharp decline
in the farm price of cotton in the
month prior to June is.
Potatoes-Farm prices of po-
tatoes dropped Is per cent in the
month as result of a substantial
increase in early crop shipments in
the south.

WEIRD EFFECTS PLANNED FOR
 CHICAGO FAIR
Lighting Experts Promise WiZardry in IlIumina-
 ton of Exposition
BY JULIAN T. BENTLEY United Press Staff CorrcsnOndcnt


 Chicago (UP)-Modern wizardry of light and shadow will pro luce weird, beautiful Illuminating effects at the lake front Century of Pro gress Exposition, Chicago's World Fair in 1883.
 Fantastic, almost eeric. lighting arrangements will throw into shar prelcf of ever changing col ors the buildings of revolutionary design, which are rising upon the man-made land of the exposition site.
 In the basement workshop In the Administration building, the se- crets are revealed. Here electrical experts under Edwin D. Tilson, H. luminating engineer. are at work on the problem of supplying the light.
 Here, with miniature models of the exposition buildings, the engi- neers work. playing intricate pat terms of many colored light beams on tower and facade; shifting the with shadings which run the angle of reflection. experimenting with shadings which run the gamut of the spectrum; noting each effect carefully: and produc- ing startling and beautiful effects. Prsms, slowly revolving cylin- ders bearing long peon tubes, fans and motors throw ever changing beams of light. tongues of flame and complex whirling patterns of light and shadow upon the build ing models Gay, bizarre cut-out patterns for wall niches gleam with almost barbaric SDlendOr as the brilliant shades from the gas-burning bulbs shine thruogh from behind. Then slowly the dag zling colors give place to softer shades as a revolving cylinder of long neon tubes begins to turn be- hind the pattern. A Column of Fire" burns within q tall glass cyl finder, the orange flames rising and falling, ever licking upward.
 With simplicity and economy the watchwords of the engineers. the secret of the lighting effects often Is quite simple.

RUINS REVEAL
 INDIAN TRAVELS

Chicago Discoveries indicating q previously unsuspected migration of the North American Indian have been made by Dr Paul s. Martin of the Field Museum. working Tn the Lowry ruin, near Ackmen, Colo.
 Reporting that excellent progress Ia being made in the excavations, Dr Martin wrote:
 "It would seem now as If this ruin Is quite out of place geograph- ically, since 1t is undoubtedly the work of Chaco Canyon people. who lived hundreds of miles south and east of this spot. in what Is now New Mexico. The pottery types found are unlike anything here Tn the neighborhood. and belong also to the Chaco types. We found Tn small passaGeway q cahe of l7 pieces of battery, most of them complete.
 "A test trench through the great kiya has just been finished. The walls, floors and other remains are highly interesting. although very puzzling."
 Among noteworthy discoveries, Dr Martin said, Is a sacred spring, which had been timbered and cribbed in prehistoric times. This seems to have served as sort or sanctuary. for in the water at the bottom of this timbered hole were found 10 pieces of battery aud more than 40 wooden prayer-sticks.
 The expedition is in its second season of operations. It Is h- nanced from funds provided by Julius Rosenwald and the late Au- gusta N. Rosenwald.

NEW PROCESS
 HARDENS METAL

Butte, Mont. (UP)-Milady need not worry about the jewel in the ring on her finger slipping from the prongs if the metal alloy worked out in the laboratories of Montana state school of mines is success.
 Metalurgists at the school have formulated a hardening process which they believe will enable jew elers to harden the more precious metals without destroying beauty. The research workers already have successfully hardened cop per through a precipitation proc ess with the addition of about 2 per cent of nickle silicide. The re- sulting alloy was nearly twice as strong as structural steel. but still retained the essential characteris- tics of copper.
 The copper hardened in this manner showed extraordinary abil- | ity to take the most delicate cast ing and machining
 Workers in Dr Curtis L. Will son's department believed that the same principle could be applied to gold, silver and other of the more rare metals and make them strong | as well as beautiful.

ACTIVE IN WORLD WAR

The death of Denis A. Mccarthy. poet. journalist and lecturer. which occurred last week at Cambridge, | Mass, removes one of the most brilliant men who came to this country from Ireland in many years. He was a native of Car rick -on-S Suir, Tipperary. and made his preliminary studies in the Christian Brothers schools of his native town.

Advertising Aids
 Liggett Stores
Chain to Which Local Store Belongs Made More
 Money in l930 Than Ever in History

i, chain of drug stores attributes tho astonishing success of the worlds leading drug enterprise to three reasons:
 1. A we'll rounded orga anization combining manufacturing and dis tribution.
 2. Manufacture and sale of medl- cinal essentials at a moderate price.
 2. Advertising.
 Mir Gales also claims that the New England States have shown more stability right through the depression and that present indi- cations point to even q greater i'm provement.
 'It takes a long time to fully restore confidence. but only q short time to shake it, which ex- plains the suddenness and depth of depression.
 But" he added in an interview that has been given national pub llcity," business will go back. Americans are pretty good sports.
 They say on the other side. Americans rise higher and fall farther than any other people.
 The showing made by the Wa terbury store and New England s condition compared to other sec tions of the country should be highly pleasing news to Waterbur- ians.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-08-29

With public confidence estab- lished through advertising as one of the three basic reasons for its unprecedented success, the Drug, Inc, of which the Liggett Drug Stores are a subsidiary. made more money in 1880 than in any year in It's history. A six months earn ing statement covering the period of January 1 to June 30th, 1881. inclusive Drug, Inc, shows also q gross profit of $35, ,215.47. Af- ter deducting merchandising and operating expenses. depreciation, interest and income tax reserve the net profit of this world famed en- terprisc shows q net profit of $lO.- 65G,O535O. It's consolidated sur plus report for the same period shows an earned surplus of $23.- 197,05326.
 The Liggett store on the cor ned of North and East Main street Is the Waterbury link of the great chain which encircles the United States and Canada. There arc more than 700 directly owned Liggett stores and 11.000 affiliated. but indepently owned Rexall stores in the U. $.
 Since it's establishment In Wa terbury the management or the Liggett Store has depended almost exclusively upon newspaper ad- vertising and the Democrat haS been one of it's chief mediums. It Is interesting for Waterburians 10 know that the local store stands surprisingly high among the most successful of the country. The so- called economic depression has not affected it's business and from headquarters comes the announce ment that the company is planning no curtailment. but on the con trary is mapping wider campaigns.
