FARM PRODUCTS HAVE ADVANCED
 IN THE PRICES
57 Per Cent Increase in Hog Quotations Has Stimulated an Advance All Along Whole Line

Chicago, July 7- CUP) - A month-long advance in farm prod uct price, led by a 57 per cent in- crease in hog quotations, was hailed to-day as marking a "won- derful step outof the depression. {"
 "The higher prices mean that every car load of hogs will bring the farmer $200 to $500 more. It will encourage all farm prices. Corn will advance, so will other products" Gates A. Rycher, Drov- CTS National bank official, said.
 This advance is an economic factor of utmost importance" Charles E. Snyder. editor of the Corn Belt Farm Dailies, said to- day. He was oneof the first to foresee an upward trend in com modity prices.
 "This advance adds thousands of dollars to buying power of the farmer and will be felt not only in the rural districts but in every part of the land," he said.
 The 57 per cent boost in hog prices sent quotations to $5.35 a hundred, which is $40, however, below the quotation of year ago. Hogs were $3.60 hundred a month ago.
 Cattle prices are up about II

ANOTHER CHARGE
 AGAINST DE VALERA

Not being able to make much headway against the Irish Free State on the threat of prohibitive tariff, a new plan has been devised, which may be more effective, in that it might gave the stronger power an excuse to use force to carry its point. It is charged that a boat has landed arms in Ireland
 and that De Valera is seeking as- sistance from -'some other govern ment" in his determination to have his own way. Whether all these schemes win have any effect Is somewhat doubtful. The public is not falling for that sort of stuff tas they used to use some time ago.

Chaplin Spouts
Economic Theory

VANCOUVER, B. c., June l3. U.P)
Charles Chaplin, comedian, re-
turned from Europe and the Orient
today brimming with economic
theories which have nothing to do
with the new silent picture he will
produce.
The man whose acting derby,
cane and floppy shoes convulsed
millions, was considerably annoyed
when he stepped from the steamer
Hikawa Maru.
The japanese vessel brought $15,-
100000 in gold from Japan. Charlie
opposed the principle and the fact
of that shipment
"They say this money is brought
to balance trade" he said.
well, those who insist on bal
ancing trade should be prosecuted.
What human beings endure patient
ly amazes me. There is new
world awakening at hand. People
everywhere want more of the bene-
fits and privileges of material plen-
ty.
"Financiers will have to take less
profit.
"They call me a comedian. I've
decided I'm as good an economist
as financiers are comedians-if you
know what I mean"
He said he had worked out in his
own mind a new idea for picture
and would start production shortly.
"The picture will be silent, as far
as I am concerned" said Chaplin.

SON OF BRYAN
ASKS HOOVER TO
MONETIZ,E SILVER

LOS ANGELES, June 13. U.P)--
President Hoover was urged to
recommend to congress the prompt
passage of a bill for the remoneti-
zation of silver, in a wire from
William Jennings Bryan, jr, made
public here today.
In sending the wire, the son of
the Great Commoner said he was
acting in his capacity as chairman
of the executive committee of the
Bimetallic association.
States represented by national
committeeman, delegates and silver
interests were Arizona, California,
Utah, Idaho, Colorado, North
Dakota, Rhode Island, Montana,
Wyoming, New York, New Mexico
and Virginia.
The resolution emphasized the
necessity of maintaining the gold
standard but said the present re-
serve of monetary gold and future
prospects afford no reasonable
expectation that gold will continue
to serve unaided as a sufficient and
satisfactory money and credit
base The present commodity
price level, it continued, has
reached a point where productive
industry is becoming Improbable
and the payment of taxes and other
debts is becoming impossible"

WOMEN LEADERS IN PROHIBITION
ARGUMENT PRESENT AT CHICAGO

Liquor legislation will return to
the states where it belongs, and
where the legislatures are more re-
sponsive to the desires of the peo-
pie" she said. Young people (and
old ones) will drink less; the gov
ernment will be relieved of the cost
of enforcement and be enriched by
excise taxes. Repeal will take away
the Sinews of war from the racket
ers.'
Mrs. Peabody is a comfortable
woman, a little broad, far from
stylish, definitely maternal, A dear
person, utterly sincere.
Mrs. Peabody also belongs to the
social register group. She withdrew
her name from the register how
ever because she doesn't like the
associations She prefers to move
in other circles.
One cannot help being moved by
Mrs. Peabodys earnestness and
simplicity. Many have laughed
because we are having daily prayer
meetings for the men facing the
most difficult problem since the
Civil war. We have precedents. l
recall that Benjamin Franklin, af-
ter long wrangling in the conven-
ton in 1887, asked Washington
for a daily prayer. And that Abra-
ham Lincoln asked the country,
when defeat was in sight, for ma
tional day of prayer"
Mrs. Reabobdy is going to have
daily prayer through the Republi-
can convention, "and it ought to be
twice daily during the Democratic

cry of victory has run down through

But two obstacles, both appar-

sit on congress doorstep until &C

measure. One obstacle is a def
nitely hostile senate; the other is
the assurance from administration
sources that President Hoover will
veto the bill if it should, by chance,
slip through the senate.
Before the vote, Representative
Patman CDem) Texas, author OF
the bill, announced he wound move

Senator Manuel Hidalgo, Commun-
ist leader whose policies are model
ed on those of Soviet Russia, was
considered a likely successor today
to Carlos Davila, who resigned
suddenly as the head of Chile's

The upset in the new administra-

members Of the junta disagreed on
important questions. Troops were
confined to barracks, but the coun-
try was reported quiet.

resignation was due to disagree
ment with one member of the
junta. 1t was understood there had
been a demand for a military gov
ernment, supported by civil cab
met under DaVilla.

many supporters the soul of the
revolution" issued a communique
as minister of defense denying the
military had sought increased pow
erS in the regime.
1T is untrue difficulties have
arisen through claims of the mill
tary to interfere with the acts of
the junta," the communique said.
"Contrarily, I declare emphatic
ally firm determination exists in
the army and navy not to mix in
politics, but to continue faithful to
fulfillment of duty and to protect
the Socialist republic"
Senator Hidalgo was defeated for

vigorous feminine repeal advocates.
Mrs. Henry N. Peabody formerly

BINGHAM LEADS
REPEAL FORCES
AT CONVENTION
BY LYLE c. WILSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, June 13.-The fight
for outright repeal of the prohibi-
ton amendment will be led on the
floor of the Republican national
convention by Sen. Hiram Bing-
ham of Connecticut.
1t became necessary for Bing-
ham to make the fight instead of
DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler OF
New York, the other leader of the
extreme i-prohibition wing OF
the country, because the latter will
not be a member of the resolutions
committee. Under the conventions
rules he is prevented from making
q minority report.
Bingham will be Connecticut's
member of the resolutions COM
mittee. New York's member will
be Secretary Ogden L. Mills, who
while he agrees with Butler on the
prohibition issue does not feel in
position to take a leading role
in the struggle because of his ad-
ministration position.
Bingham, tall, spare Yankee
type, recently gained prominence
as champion of the anti
prohibition cause when he fought
an oratorical duel on the senate
floor with the great dry Spokes-
man. Senator Borah.
He is the author of several
4 per cent and other modification
bills, but his activity here is di-
rected at outright repeal.
He, like other repealists, expects
that the Republican platform COM
mittee will vote them down since
each state has but one vote on
this committee. They are stalking
their chances on a fight later or
the floor of the convention where,
when the minority report for re-
peal is forced to a vote, each dele
gate will have a vote, giving the
large anti-prohibition eastern states
greater voice in the result.
