be comparable to the increase in price

(Note: While the farm dollar" Is
expressive Of prices of farm prod

dollar expressive of the farmers cost
of living. During the depression the
prices Of farm products fell more
rapidly than the prices Of commodi-
ties In the wholesale market, in
cluding things which the farmer
b. must buy, thus increasing the farm
er's difnculty.
Now, with rising prices Of whole
sale commodities. farm prices are
even more rapidly increasing. The
disadvantage Of the farmer during
period Of falling prices becomes his
advantage when prices begin to
rise. Since January the prices paid
by farmers for commodities bought
have decreased by as much as four
points and in June were still below
the level of January, but In the
same interval the prices received by
the farmer for products sold have in
creased thirteen points-representing
. clear gain in the purchasing power
of his dollar. This fact. by the way,
indicates the reason for pressure
from the farm belt for indationary
measures.

crate leaders to declare the independ-
ence of the country. Civil war fol-
lowed. For a time the republicans
made steady progress In their endeavor
to bring the whole nation under their
government. But on March 26, 1912,
q terrible earthquake devastated the
country. The event broke the back of
the rebellion. Miranda was captured
and taken back to Spain in chains to
die. Bolivar escaped to Cartagena, in
New Grenada, now Colombia.
The details Of his struggles during the
next 18 years are too complicated to
follow. Suffice it to say that he per-
formed prodigies Of valor. shook OF re-
peated defeat and gained eventual vic
tory. Colombia he helped to free. That
done, he led an expedition into Vene-
zuela, fighting his way to Caracas; for
q time was victorious there, and then
again was decisively beated in the field
A second time in exile, he returned to
New Grenada to participate in second
Colombian effort toward liberty. But
again failure was his lot. He fled to
Jamaica, and there had a narrow escape
from assassination.
Finds Aid in Haiti.
1t was in Haiti that he found the help
he needed at the hands of Alexandra
Potion, then President. and Luis Brion,
q Dutch merchant of Curacao. who was
devoting his life and large fortune to
the cause Of freedom. With their aid
he equipped q new expedition, arriving
in Venezuelan waters March 81, 1916.
But the attempt was fruitless, and Boil
var was obliged to return to Haiti for
reinforcementS. Undaunted, he planned
still another campaign, and this time
he was completely successful. He drove
the Spanish forces out of New Grenada,
and by the close Of 1923 had expelled
the last of them from Venezuela.
Ecuador, Peru and Chile remained
under Spanish rule. Bolivar therefore
was obliged to 60 to their assistance.
The work was still unfinished when,
worn-out. disillusioned. heart-sick, he

Simon Bolivar, Honored Today,
Gave Latin Americans Liberty
Birth Century and Half
Ago Being Observed
in Freed Nation.

Simon Bolivar. the tragic George
Washington Of South America, was born
. century and . half ago today. Cele-
brattons Of the anniversary are being
staged in Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador
Peru and Bolivia. The highest civic
honors will be paid to his memory.
But the story Of the liberator's life Il
pathetically sad. He was. In fact. q
living sacrifice to the ideals Of freedom
and independence which he served.
His father, . rich land owner. died
when Simon was but years OF age,
the child's mother when he was 6. He
was left to the care of an uncle who
neglected him. His education was In
ted and ignored. and grew to manhood
without discipline or proper guidance
quick witted but wilful, clever but stub
born and quarrelsome.
In 1899 he was sent to Madrid, nomi-
nally in the care Of another relative
What he saw at the Spanish court
prompted him to hate the royal system
Of government. A visit to Paris inspired
him to diStrust even the prevailing
variety Of constitutionalism. He became
confirmed rebel.
Married Girl Of Is.
But his unorthodox political and So
cial views did not affect his heart. He
fell in love with a child, a girl Of Is
Maria Teresa Rodriguez de Toro, and
obtained her fathers consent to marry
her For Q few months they were
ideally happy. Their honeymoon they
spent en- route from Corunna to his ma
tive Caracas. But the Venezuelan eli
mate was unfriendly, and Bolivar's
lovely bride survived less than . year
The blow was staggering. The Liber-
ator never completely recovered from It
ITO cure the pain in his heart" says a
biographer. he Visited Europe again
and In Madrid and Paris plunged into
wild dissipation, which not only brought
no peace but threatened to wreck his
life"
Providentially, he was saved by q new
interest, which gradually became an ab-
sorbing passion. Napoleon In 1903
forced Charles w and his son Ferdi-
nand to abdicate the throne of Spain
The Spanish people then appealed to
England for help against the usurper

spirit was set afire by these events. He
saw In them an opportunity for South
America to gain independence from Eu-
ropean rule.
He hurried to London to confer with
Francisco Miranda, veteran revolution
ist. Together they planned an armed
revolt to begin at Caracas and spread
throughout Latin America. They ar
rived at La Guaira December S, 1910.
Republic Already Set Up.
But q republic already had been set
up. 1t was in control of q junta which
was far less radical than Bolivar and
his companion had hoped. A royahst
conspiracy, however, gave them the
chance they wanted. On July S, 1911,

WALLACE WHEAT
ACTION IS PRAISED
Thomas D. Campbell Cites
Fixing of Minimum Price
to End Bear Raiding.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PASADENA, Calf. July 24.-Thomas
D. Campbell, Americas leading wheat
grower, said in q statement today that
one OF the greatest steps ever taken to
return national prosperity was achieved
when Secretary of Agriculture Henry
Wallace caused the Chicago Board OF
Trade to fix the minimum price for sale
OF wheat and put an end to bear raid
ing:
1T Is the biggest thing the Govern
ment has done for agriculture in many
years." said Mr. Campbell. "and am
jubilant with the knowledge that we
have an administration with the cour-
age and determination to do the right
thing against all Odds"
Sends telegram to Wallace.
He dispatched . telegram to Secre-
tary Wallace, praising him for his step
and urging him to stand by his guns"
the Chicago Board of Trade and grain
growers.
The order raising the price of wheat
came when the bear raiders Of the mar
ket had succeeded in forcing the prices
down approximately 80 cents by short
selling, Campbell said.
Campbell. who has 5000 acres of
wheat in Montana, and who, in 1929,
was techinal adviser to the Russian
government on wheat-growing problems,
said this short selling takes place when
ever the farmers begin to harvest their
crops. In this instance, he asserted, it
was entirely without justification. As
there Is . wheat scarcity and farmers
are entitled to . just profit"
Held Encouraging 70 Farmer.
II don't know when have been more
thrilled" said Campbell, than when I
read the account of the precedent
breaking price-flxing order. It certain
ly is encouraging to the farmer to know
that We have Secretary Of Agriculture
who is bigger than the Chicago Board
Of Trade.
This (order) Is the truest indication
that the Capital Of the United States
has definitely moved from New York to
washington. You know that We can
never have national prosperity until In
dustry and agriculture are able to pro-
duce with some profit.
II believe the administration VIII see
that this is accomplished"

Rise and Fall Of Prices.

Generally speaking, all prices were
rising and dollars were becoming cheap
er from 1918 to 1920. Then prices
dropped and dollars became more dear
in 1921. Then prices took another squirt
and dollars deprecated In purchasing
power until the year 1926. when prices
began dropping rather steadily and dol
lars began appreciating in value. The
drop in prices, until this year, has been
steady and continuous. But the stand
ard Of measurement, the dollar, has
remained the same
These fluctuations up and down occur
almost from year to year IN normal
periods. Three times since 1S00-m
1914. 1855 and 1920-prices have risen
to extremely high levels, and. in terms
Of commodities. the gold dollar has
deprecated. After each OF these peaks.
prices have fallen. sharply at first and
then more gradually. Debts incurred
during the period of low prices and
dear" dollars have in each case been
easily payable in the flush periods Of
high prices and cheap" dollars, thus
"defrauding" the creditor out of as
much as half the money loaned. But
debts incurred in times of peak prices
and cheap dollars have been paid OF
with difficulty by debtors In times Of
low prices and dear dollars, and 1t Is
under such circumstances, as today, and
in 1896, that the plea Is heard for jus
tice to the debtor by debasing the
standard Of value-the dollar-and thus
establishing the illusion Of high prices
and cheap dollars" for debt payment.
