Commodity Price
Trends of Week
BY ii. n. McGILL,


AUBURNDALE, Mass. July .
Political agitation industrial Stagnation
and new lows in security values have
not forcefully affected commodity
prices in recent weeks.
During the past week the average
price level of ! commodities registered
the third consecutive increase. While
the magnitude of the movement was
only fractional, yet three weeks up
ward trend, without interruption. in
the face of adverse economic condi-
tions, indicates price stability. Out Of
IA individual groups curing the week
Just closed five averaged fractionally
higher, six groups were moderately
lower. while three remain unchanged
Industrial prices held steady and
have not moved downward since early
June. The stabilizing influence Is
noted first in the unprecedented and
radical price decline which measures
nearly 49 per cent from 1929, and sec
end. the narrowing ratio OF new pro-
duction as compared with actual
consumption.
Agricultural prices were one of the
six groups that declined, although the
drop was extremely small For well
over a month prices Of farm products
have held relatively steady, despite
large reserve stocks and improved
growing conditions for this years crops
Live stock prices continued the ad-
vance which started several weeks ago
The price recovery was largely respon-
sible for the upturn in the average Of
all commodities.
Textiles also recorded considerabl
strength led by cotton. Since the low
point of cents a pound. cotton has
advanced nearly cent. Coarse textiles
were also fractionslly higher. The two
other groups which recorded price
strength during the week were vegetable
oils and hides and leather.
Building materials prices dropped to
new low point due entirely to the
further lowering in the price level of
lumber. Latest data show that de-
spite production curtailment stocks at
the mills are relatively heavy in terms
of current and near-term prospective
consumption.
The three groups which showed no
price change during the week were
industrial commodities, chemicals, paper
and pulp.

Railroad traffic at present requires
the use of only about so per cent of
the facilities of the carriers. Not only
have they been affected by an indus

a large amount of merchandise, but
the inanimate condition of the heavy
industries and the low prices of agri-
cultural products have cut deeply into
those groups in their tonnage classi-

the competition from motor trucks has
been aggravated by the necessity of
owners of these trucks to find employ
ment for them at rates with which
the steam carriers cannot compete.
The value of department store sales
is about 25 per cent lower than year

Metals, sugar and rubber have recently

CLAGUE, ANDERSON
MOVE FOR EARLY
DISTRICT RULING
Ask Supreme Court for Action
on Minnesota Question of
ReappOrtiOnment

Minnesota will soon know wheth-
er its congressman are to be elected
at large or according to the 1881
legislative reapportionment, if mo-
ton made by Congressman Frank
Clague of the second district and
August Anderson of the third before
the United States supreme court re-
suits in an early decision.
Their motion asks that the Mime
sofa case be heard before March 81.
This would open the way, it is hoped,
for a decision on the validity of the
Minnesota law before May l.
With the final date for filing their
candidates. May 10, and the prim-
aries June 20, decision at the earl
lest possible moment is sought in the
interests of the voting public and all
those who desire to become candi-
.lates.
Doubt as to whether they can make
the congressional race in their dis
tricts as established by the contested
state law, or whether they will have
to face the ordeal of a free-for-all
battle at large has disturbed Mime
sofa house members ever since the
attack on the acts constitutionality
was launched. An early decision in
the case would do much to straighten
out the Minnesota political tangle.
If the decision sustains the Minne-
sofa supreme court in upholding the
law, Republican incumbents can pro-
coed in the normal way to prepare
for the autumn campaign.

Washington Lauded
at Lions Dinner

George Washington was pictured
as the wealthy statesman who put
country above personal gain by DR..
E. L. Jones, Storm Lake, Iowa, attor-
ney, at the bicentennial ladies
night" dinner of the Lions club at
the English Lutheran church, Monday
evening.
Washington was soldier. states
man and wealthy landholder, but first
and last he was a farmer" DR.. Jones
told his audience. He recalled that
Washington was born in the country
and returned to the farm to spend
his declining years.
Lincoln and Washington were con-
trasted, Lincoln as the poor boy who
rose to Z position beside the earlier
patriot in the hearts of Americans
while Washington was the heir to a
great fortune who risked it all to
fight for his country's freedom. Lin
coin was a poor man, Washington an
aristocrat among aristocrats, yet
both achieved greatness, he pointed
out.
DR.. Jones defended Washington
against "debunkers" who picture him
as immoral, grasping, timid gem
eral. He explained that Washington
realized an overwhelming defeat
would dishearten the struggling col
onies and avoided engagements in
which he felt victory was uncertain.
He pictured Washington's moral
weaknesses as only small eddies flow
ing backward in the great river of
his life.
The banquet table and the room
were decorated in patriotic, colonial
style and the mattresses wore dress
es in the vogue of rs.

BicenfenniaL Observed Here
With Ball, Programs, Exhibits
School Children
Give Program

Several hundred students and par
ents gathered at the Lincoln school
auditorium Monday morning for one
of the thousands of program given in
the United States in honor of the BIZ
centennial of George Washington's
birth.
The stage was decorated with a
large picture of Washington and a
flag of the type which he described to
Betsy Ross.
With S. w. Limburg as director,
the high school orchestra opened the
program with several appropriate
numbers. Myrl Lindeman, acting as
master of ceremonies, announced the
east of the playlet which followed.
One-Act Play Presented
The playlet, which was put on by
the Junior and Senior high school
pupils, took place in a modern home
in which hung life sized portrait of
George and Martha Washing ton.
When the family had gone to the
colonial ball in Washington's honor,
the figures came to life. After
scrutinizing the modern conveniences
of the household, Martha and George
played by Dorothy Ewart and Wilbur
Melges, heard an orchestra playing
the old time favorite, the Minuet.
They danced until they heard the
family returning from the ball and
then they returned to their frame on
the wall and watched the young min
net dancers file into the parlor and
continue their dance. The minuet
dancers were Junior High girls and
included Jeanne Beckstrand, Cert
rude Smith, Irene Truesdell, Jean
Melges, Jeanette Hillig, Marjorie
Pettis, Eileen Farrell and Flossie
Falk.
Prefers Peace of '76
After the minuet was finished, the
dancers left the house at the disposal
of George and Martha who decided
that the peace of 200 years ago was
far better than the hustle and hustle
of today and stayed in the frame.
3 Junior and Senior High school
students who had part in the pro-
gram included, Dorothy Ewart, VIII

Find Work for
3 In First Week
OfLeSiOnDrive
Is Register; Renew Call for
Jobs; Wages No Object
Committee Says

Three of Is men who registered
with the American Legion employ
ment committee here during its first
week of existence have been placed,
one at carpenter work and two as
farm hands.
Registrations at the offices of T.
F. Reed and D. w. Gold in the Farm
ers State bank building have been
fewer than expected, which is believ-
ed to be an indication that unemploy-
ment conditions here are less serious
than believed.
Of the Is men registered, however,
ten are married and have an average
of four children depending upon them
for support. The Legion has urged
everyone who can offer employment
to call the office, whether it be a
short time job or a permanent posi-
ton.
Registering for work includes fill
ing out a card with information as
to ability and experience and necessi-
ty of finding employment. Members
of the committee say that all the men
declare wages are minor considera-
ton and that they will accept any
salary within reason.
The committee urges everyone to
report any work to their offices which
may mean a few dollars to one of
the unemployed. They also ask men
who are out of work and are willing
to work to register. They will en-
deavor to find odd jobs enough for all.
Numerous letters have been sent to
the office from unemployed men from
surrounding towns asking for work.
In response to these letters, the COM
mittee says, eve would be pleased to
be able to find enough work for unem-
ployed men in other towns, but as the
work in Redwood Falls is scarce, we
believe that our primary interest
should be for the jobless here, and
later on If conditions warrant we will
do our best for the help of the UNI
employment situation in surrounding
towns"

FIREMEN ANSWER
TWO MINOR CALLS

The Redwood Falls fire department
answered two calls in four days when
it was summoned to the j. r. Keefe
home on East Wyoming street, Sat-
urday afternoon, and to the Roswell
& Muetzel garage, Tuesday morning
The chimney burned out Saturday
morning and sparks on the roof burn
ed through into the attic causing the
fire at the Keefe home. The fire de-
partment was called at approximate
ly 1: 80 p. m. when smoke and flames
were noticed by neighbors. When
the department arrived at the home,
the attic was all ablaze, but quick
work by the firemen kept the flames
from spreading and little damage was
done other than to the roof and attic.
The second call was turned in Tues
day at 10 a. m. from the Roswell and
Muetzel garage on Washington
street. No damage was done to the
cars stored in the garage.
