A SHORT time ago an interesting ceremony
took place in the White House, when John
Taylor Arms, representing the artists and
publishers presented to the President OF the
United States the first copy of the George
Washington Bicentennial Portfolio, which con-
tains 20 etchings illustrative of the life OF
Washington, executed by as many we'll known
American etchers and published by the George
Washington Memorial Associate This port
folio edited by Mr.. Arms, has been in prepa-
ration for more than year. The idea of such
a collection of etchings originated with Arthur
H. Brook and it is Mr.. Arms has sald
his vision, knowledge and enthusiasm which
brought it to a successful completion. Months
of research and effort were devoted to each
subject, with the result that every individual
print is both an historical document and
distinguished work of art. In addition to the
etchings, this portfolio contains an apprecla-
ton of Washington-the man, the statesman
and the soldier-by Prof. Dixon Ryan Fox OF
Columbia University and short biographies OF
the artists represented written by Dorothy
Noyes Arms.
The plates IN some were printed by
the artists themselves and in others by the
greatest professional printers of Europe. The
paper used throughout has been especially de-
signed and hand d-made for the purpose water
marked with Washington's initials and coat
of arms. It is issued in an edition OF 1000
copies At the time of its publication, October
l. the entire collection of etchings was placed
on view in the art galleries of Kennedy & Co.,
New York.
The artists who took part in this enter
prise each furnishing a separate plate, are
William Auerbach-Levy, Ralph Boyer, Samuel
Chamberlain, Kerr Eby Sears Gallagher, Childe
Hassam Arthur w. Heintzelman, Eugene Hg-
gins Earl Horter Robert Lawson, Allen Lewis,
F. Luis Mora, Robert Nisbet, Louis Conrad
Rosenberg, Ernest David Roth, Albert Sterner,
Walter Title. Levon West John W. Winkler
and George Wright. Each one of these etchers
was, as far as possible, allowed to select his
own subject from a number of subjects set
down by historians as representative of notable
events in the life Of Washington The work OF
each artist was not only inspected by the editor
but passed upon by distinguished historians In
ORDER that there should be no historical in
accuracy. Beyond this however. the artists
were left free to render their theme according
to their own inclination.
And it is an interesting fact that in every
instance the style Of the artist has been main

CHICAGO, July 16.-Julv wheat

Board of Trade in the last half

loss orders, setting a new all-time
low record price for futures.

finally exhausted itself, stocks of
commodities are being used up and
developing scarcities will begin to
revive business activity.
A few weeks more should tell
whether this new price upturn really
presages a return to better times or
whether it is just another false start
like those that have been made in
the commodity markets previously.
Just year ago prices turned joy
fully upward, then appeared to
stabilize and by October it seemed
pretty certain the long decline was
past. But the world again was dis
appointed as prices began to fall.
Wholesale prices in general usu-
ally turn up in June, owing to sew
eral seasonal changes which come
at that time. It would have been
disappointing if this had failed to
come. Now, that it has come, we
may view the general situation with
more confidence.
Dollars Value Scars
An upward turn in farm prices
is important to everybody because
it signals turn for the better in
business, since the farmer is the
source of our prosperity. And, gen.
orally, when prices are no longer
going down manufacturers buy ma
terials with more confidence, mer-
chants renew their stocks. AS the
result, industry spurts.
It was high time that something
interviewed to turn the current of

prices in the other direction. BY
averaging all wholesale commodity
prices together it has been possible
to show that they had gone as low
as they we're in 1905 and 1906.
This has meant that debts con-
tracted in flush years after the
World war had to be paid with dol
lars which suddenly became as valu-
able as dollars were in 1905 and 1906
Dollars were dollars then, you re-
member, and they have been the
same sort of dollars again-big dol
lars, hard dollars, precious dollars.
Higher Price Needed
The recent price excitement has
centered mainly on the hog market,
because Chicago hog quotations adj
vanced approximately So, reaching
their highest point since last Octo-
Der. This particular rise carried the
price to $3.50 a hundredweight, as
against $3.50 hundredweight dur
ing the last week in May.
Cattle and sheep likewise re-
sponded with new highs, and on the
same day cotton had advanced IS a
bale from its low.
Of course, this would be con-
sidered very low hog price by all
that we had been used to before
1881. A price of SO is needed to help
put the corn belt on its feet again
But another increase of the same
amount would bring the price close
to that. The highest in recent years
was around $11 in 1929.

SURVEYOR MOVES TO

Short, county surveyor, today flee
his budget estimate with Charles A
GroSSart, county auditor.

chairman, at 81 1000, and one rod
man at $1,000.
His budget request was $4,000

This sharply contrasted with
budgets, filed by three other officials
Friday, demanding increases for
salaries and operating expenses.
Timothy P. Sexton, county treas
urer, seeks an additional appropria-
ton of approximately $4,000 and
Ira A. Haymaker, recorder, wants
an increase of 81 $40.
Pay increases for his employees
also were asked by Superior Judge
Joseph r. Williams.
The treasurer asked a budget of
$115,665, compared with 500 1852 go
now in effect. He seeks $4,000 for
his chief deputy, now drawing
$4,000, an increase for his cashier
from $2,40O to $4,000 and approx
mately $4,000 for other deputies.
Work of the treasurers office
has increased and we must have
more money" Sexton said.
Haymaker estimated his budget
at $33,720 for 1888. His appropria-
ton this year was $31,880.

The long decline in wholesale
commodity prices seems to be near
an end-at least, the signs appear
to point in that direction.
With hogs leading the parade of
rising farm prices and other lines
showing signs of joining in the joy
full procession, many millions of dol
lars have been added recently to the
value of the holdings of the nations
farmers, with whose purchasing
power prosperity begins.
The rise has continued for several
weeks, giving hope that the change
at last is fundamental.
The recent addition of So a hun
dred pounds to the price of hogs
adds a paper profit" of around
5000, 000,0 900 to the property of Amer
lean farmers. It means that 81 has
been added to the value of every
hog now owned by the farmers,
since the government estimates
there are now 100000 hogs on
American farms and they will aver
age 200 pounds each.
Cattle, Beef Move Up
The recent rise in prices has also
extended to cattle and beef. Cotton,
corn, wheat and other crops have
also shown improvement and gen.
eral strengthening in tone, as indi-
Gated by the daily market reports.
However, these still have a long
way to go.
If it is true that the change in
prices is fundamental, then one of
the longest declines in history has
