Nations Swine Are Worth
S25O,00O,00O More Than
Six Weeks AGO.
BY HARRISON SALISBURY
United Press staff Correspondent


CHICAGO, July 9.-Squealing pigs
on thousands of American farms
today shrilled message of cheer
as experts estimated the nations
swine were worth 100000 more
on paper than six weeks ago.
The fattening porkers were lead
ers in a commodity price rise, which
analysts hope will go far to shake
the gloom of the long depression.
For the broad backs of the hogs,
which provide an eighth of the
country's farm income, are carry
Ing an advance that is spreading to-
day to nearly all of Americas agri-
cultural commodities.
Beef cattle sold at quotations 80
per cent above those of May. Lambs
are Is per cent higher. Butter
steadily is advancing. Grains are
up. Cotton prices are better.
Buying Power Is Increased
The total potential buying power
of the farmer has been increased
by millions. And the farmer. econ
omlsts point out, is the backbone of
national prosperity.
A new feeling of optimism was
spreading from farming communi-
ties to thir industrial neighbors to-
day as the gans of the last month
were counted.
That feeling, j. s. Campbell of
the livestock bureau of the depart
ment of agriculture asserted, is more
important than the paper profits
which have been recorded.
This development doesn't mean
much to the packers and the people
who haven't any hogs to market, as
far as cash goes he said.
Better State of Mind
But it does mean different
state of mind. After all these weeks
of low prices, the upturn has
cheered people. The rise has
brought every one out of the dumps.
It's the psychological benefit that
helps"
This view was echoed by Herman
Conway, research director of the
Livestock Marketing Association.
Part Of this advance" he said,
lis seasonal. But the rise is broader
than that. 1t comes from a genu-
inc shortage of supplies.
"Ano it comes at a time when
farmers had become discouraged
with raising livestock because of the
inadequate returns. Now they're
getting their wind back. They feel
more optimistic regarding the fu-
ture."
Benefit Direct to Growers
The greatest part of the profit
from the better prices is going direct
to the growers, figures showed. The
price increase has not yet spread
to products in the hands of packers.
AS an example OF the return
raisers are obtaining, sales on the
Kansas City, East st. Louis, Omaha
and Chicago hog markets during the
past week brought farmers an
average of s1.83 head more than
a month ago. This amounted to
s528.S7O for the four markets.
Though increases in grain quota
tons have been small compared with
those for livestock, market experts
believe grains viii benefit extensive
ly by the bettered hog and cattle
prices. This movement is being re-
tarded somewhat. it was believed
by the imminence of tn new
harvest.

Prime Minister Ramsay
Mcdonald of Great Britain
was the first statesman to
sign.
AS president of the conference, he
declared the treaty open to sigma
ture, walked around square
formed by tables, and signed the
document which lay on translat-
ors table in the center of the
square.
Chancellor Franz Won Papen, For
eign Minister Baron Constantine
Won Neurath and Finance Minister
Count Lutz Schwerin Won Krosigk
signed for the Germans.
Won Papen Is Nervous
Won Papen, wearing morning
coat, approached the table nervous
ly. He threw out his chest several
times, then attempted to smile as
he picked up the gold fountain pen.
Macdonald referred directly to
future settlement with the United
States in an extemporaneous speech.
Our agreements must have re-
Spouse elsewhere" he said. I'VE al
ready have said that any agreement
we reach must be placed in a world
framework"
1T is no good collecting sums
from one government, or any coun-
try, which disturbs world trade"
Macdonald said. THE United
States, the country most fitted to
withstand economic shocks, now is
as severely hit eas any European
country"
Opened New Book"
1--WE have opened a new book.
There are no more reparations.
Those great payments, sums which
represented no transfer of goods,
have not been punishment to one
nation, but an affliction to all" the
prime minister asserted.
All the eighteen countries repre-
sented at the conference signed the
treaty except Rumania, Yugoslavia,
Portugal. and Greece, who asked
more time for study.
Kwan Yoshida signed for Japan;
Antonio Mosconi for Italy; Edouard
Herriot and German Martin for
France; Paul Hymans and Jules
Renkin for BelgiumS Macdonald
and Sir John Simon for Great
Britain.
The agreement enabled Germany
to make final payment of $685.
100000 in long term bonds, or cent
for every dollar called for in the
original victorious allied demands
of SOS, 1000, 100000.
Young Plan Is Buried
The agreement buried the Young
plan; its preamble said it COM
pletely put an end to PREPARATIONS"
Germany will not pay anything
for three years, pending return of
German prosperity which means
that if Germany can't sell the bond
issue in fifteen years, she will pay
nothing.
No time limit was set for ratifica-
ton of the agreement.
The question of war guilt" the
clause in the Versailles peace treaty
holding Germany and her allies SOLE
ly responsible for the losses suffered
by the allied powers, was not men
toned specifically in the preamble.
But the Germans accepted the
phrase put an end to PREPARATIONS"
as avoiding the famous war guilt
provision of the Versailles treaty.

EDERLE STILL IS HAPPY
Plays Tennis, Dri1es; No Long S7elnus
BY EVELYN SEELEY
Times Staff Writer

NEW YORK, July ct takes
most people a long time to be-
come philosophers, but Gertrude
Ederle is a philosopher at IS.
Il don't care about fame" said
the girl who, almost exactly six
years ago. swan the English
channel. 81 had enough"
Its an awful lot of work to be
famous. Ja-a-aa, and it takes a

She smiled heartily as she
spoke. She tossed her dark hair
back from her forehead. She
looked very young and healthy
and content. There we're festive
touches of red velvet ribbon on
her dark blue and white polka
dot dress.

said, and her rosy face clouded.
But can't, I guess. I've sort
of made up my mind to that now.
Anyway, I have a, lot better time
when I'm not having to train for
a swim"
She was trying out her broad
cast from an aquaplane towed by
Mrs. Guy Lombardo's speedboat,
with Mrs. Lombardo at the wheel.
THIS was to have been the be-
Il ginning of the comeback"
she explained, a comeback" that
would include swimming feats
reminiscent of the Ederle of six
years ago. But her physician

her, would increase. and compli-
cate her ear trouble.

don't want anybody feeling sorry
for me. I am just about as good
as overland I hear plenty"
She hears, in fact, almost nor
mally. You do not have to shout
to make her hear, but only to raise
your voice a little. And what I'M
dertones she misses her quick per-
ception catches from your express
sion.
She is the first to laugh-a
a hearty, deep, childish laugh-at
a joke. And over the telephone or
the earphones of radio she hears
perfectly.
CHE can still swim, strongly
~ and enduringly, but she is not
allowed to do much of it.
81 can still swim home" she
shouted as a big wave toppled her
off the aquaplane.
Some of her records still stand,
although she-unmathematical as
most women-can't remember
which ones. She is more inter
ested in the rev records American
women are piling up.
She delights in officiating at
swimming meets or merely in
watching them.
American girls are swell swim
mers," said she. They always can
show the world. They are better
all the time-faster."
1t is probably her enthusiastic
interest in the swimming others do
that prevents Gertrude Ederle,
whose swimming career ended at
its peak, from succumbing to the
has-been blues.
Also, she has a passion for
motoring, speedy motoring which
often brings her a summons. She
is good at tennis. She enjoys a
general enthusiasm for an active
life.

asked the court to dismiss the
charges. He told the court:
"After q careful investigation

The request was Immediately
granted by Judge A. M. Stack.
Higgins reserved the right to
reopen the case at any time in
the future that evidence might
be sufficient to support a possible
conviction.
Neither defendant appeared in
court. Libby is living in seclu-

The solicitors action, in effect,
simply meant removal of the case

brought to trial at any time the

and the court sets a trial date.
