Hogs Slightly Higher Than Last Year = Index

By HARTMAN w. NICHOLS United Press Staff COrreSpOndent

Chicago-The livestock industry continued to suer in 1883 despite governmental attempts-process ing taxes and governmental buying and slaughter of pigs-to pull this phase of agriculture from the dol- drums.
 Livestock raisers over the great plains country and southwest were not cheerful at the years close. Cattle had dropepd to the lowest price levels in more than 30 years. Hogs were slightly above 1933, Tn the United Press commodity index, but not sufficiently to bring any cheer to the pig raisers. Offerings at the major markets were limited and commission me min the small CT ,centers reported business was confined greatly to truck offerings instead of the long trains of live stock in good years.
 The United Press index as of De- cember 9 as compared with the close of 1892. shows:
 Steers $4.75 p. cwt $5.25 D. cwt Hogs 3.50 p. cwt. 2.85 D. cwt Lambs 4.75 p. cwt. 6.62h p. cwt
 The peak price for hogs came in October, when they jumped to $5.55 per hundredweight. The 1892 peak was $5.50. This was after the government for more than month had taken over pigs and piggy sows, to the total of 3.000,000, killing them and giving the meat to relief in most in- stances.
 Then the government affixed a Sn nnntc dt,a 1 cessing tax on hogs, raising 1t to $1 on December 1. These taxes, instead of aiding the producer, were q detriment since they even- tually resulted in such low prices that they actually were borne by the farmers.
 Cattle opened 1883 with the best prices on light steers and heifers at $7.10 and the veal top at $6. Vealers spurted to $10 m February. the years peak. The market sagged thereafter until a low of $5.50 was touched in June. Prices moved up again through September, but resumed the de- cline until the low was made In December at $5.
 Choice native lambs topped the first month of the year at $6.50 per hundredweight and followed an unsteady route until April. The first week in April saw tho lowest top on lambs for tho year. s5.50, and in contrast the second week saw one of the highest, $s.b0. Ex. tremely heavy receipts was given aE the cause of the low prices, while slight offerings from the country caused the high quota- tI0Ds. Prices continued good pn- til in tho middle of August the seasons best levels, ss.7b, were reached, Then they Aaaed Co b0. low the 1D32 close,

money, avoiding the danger of un- controlled increase in Ns quantity Gas in Germany.
 The arrival of the cotton "plow money" has put cash in the hands of farmers hereabout who had not known what money looked like for years. ~ . That a great deal of this govern ment money has gone to pay debts is shown by the fact that TIC. Yarbrough of the First National Bank estimates that debts owing Fort Worth banks by country banks practically have been wiped out in recent months.
 Stand by NRA
 MIRA compliance here appears to have been rather more complete than in many cities. H. s. Eos ter, head of the. compliance board, has complete records of 425 com plaints, of which he says only 40 per cent, far less than the average, was due to ignorance.
 This is due, Foster says, to ex- tra efforts made here to inform people of MIRA requirements. A questionnaire on unemployment here showed that of 4,223 blanket code signers, 997 employers took on new help, creating 3,941 new jobs, and making possible a dollar increase in payrolls of $3,957,- 048.87 a year.

And the industry that used to spend half it's time cutting it's own throat and the other half wasting precious natural resources, has seen seen the bright light that comes from MIRA headquarters in Washington.
 The days when four huge wells were turned loose just to enter tain trainload of oil field visitors, who saw literally millions of dol lars go spraying off to the Gulf of Mexico, are definitely over.
 SOLVES ITS PROBLEM
 believe 1t accurate to say that no other industry has made such great and sudden strides toward solving its own problems under NRA as oil, and it has done all this at it's own expense, without going to the taxpayer for anything but moral and legal backing.
 oil men, from Oklahoma to the Gulf, are pleased with the way their code has worked. And why wouldn't they be, when it has raised the price of crude oil from 10 cents a barrel to anywhere from 75 cents to a dollar?

She's No show-ofr

Sne'S NO ShOW.Om
 There still are some things about Colleen reminiscent of her oldsdays in pictures. For one thing she still uses the same car in which she has driven to and from the studio be- fore her retirement.
 She has had the car for so long now that she regards it almost as member of the family. And with its new coat of paint it looks just like brand-new car.
 Another thing is that she has the same disregard for conventions, continuing to do what she likes and when she likes to do it. Clothes still fail to impress her to any great extent. If she gets a dress she particularly likes, she'll wear it as long as it's wearable. Colleen always has been of the opinion that the person, not the clothes, was what really counted. And she hasn't changed that opin- ion a bit.
 And last. but far from least, she still has a passion for apple pie heaped with vanilla ice cream.

was done: "The first thing was to cut production to where it was approximately equal to consumptive demand" says Collett. "Since the code took effect production has been cut approximately half mill lion barrels day in the United States"
 PRODUCERS GAIN BY CODE
 Texas, when it was producing million barrels day, got only $300,000 for that oil. Today, al- lowed a production of 888,00O bar rels a day, it gets $75,O0O for that. So why wouldn't oil producers be happy?
 The problem of oil bootleg
 ging remains. Collett estimates that perhaps 25,OOO barrels of ""hot OiT' are being boOtlegged daily, but other estimates place
 this as high as 10000 barrels a day. This might not seem like a
 great deal, but when refined and
 dumped cheaply on the gasoline
 market it upsets the whole mar
 keting machinery, as the oil bus-
 mess still is highly competitive.

 Among the speakers who will address the 1894 Annual Meeting will be President John Christen- sen, who has lately been named vice-president of the National As sociation; M. J. Burnham, of West Hartford, who will tell what the public expects in fresh vegetables as observed by retail market man; DeForrest Wells, Danielson farmer, who has been engaged in growing cauliflower for the past half century.
 Other speakers include Profess sor Fred K. Crandall, Rhode Island State College, who will outline re- suits obtained from rotating and fertilizing vegetables; Lawrence Bevan, director of markets, Boston, who will discuss consumer de- mand: and Dr G. P. Clinton and pr w. E. Britton, of the Connecti- cut Agricultural Experiment Sta tion, New Haven, who. will discuss disease and pest problems relating particularly to sweet corn.

 Hollywood.-Colle Moore-it's familiar name, but you'd never know the girl who carries 1t.
 The seevrely straight bobbed hair, which was SO distinctive of her, has given way to Beautifully waved tresses. The once peaceful disposition has, been supplanted by a fighting determination. The un- happy gleam in her eyes has changed into a joyous sparkle.
 Underneath it all, however, Col leen still is the same, because, no matter how much success or fail ure comes into her life, she never will change. To me; to all her friends, she alway will be .. just Colleen. Colleen has learned that money is only a small part of what life has to offer. A year ago she spent great deal of time alone in her beautiful Bel-Air mansion.
 Business kept her husband, Al Scott, in New York 8 good bit of the time. Colleen had to stay here because of her contract with Metro Goldwyn- Mayer, which paid her a good-sized salary. But despite the fact that the money came rolling in every week. there was no work. And she was one of the unhappiest girls in the 1 film colony. She has spent other unhappy weeks in that home, too, despite her luxurious surroundings.
 This holds particularly true of that period right after her divorce from her first husband, John Me- Cormick.

She'll Fight Now
 "I'll never do another picture I don't like, as long as live," Miss Moore told me. I've done plenty of them in my time simply because I wanted to- be peaceful and get along with everyone.
 Now I've learned that the only way to get along in, this business is to fight for what you want. Then you usually get it..
 ''So I have taken up fighting and have found out that it works won- derfuNy. But if that ever fails to get me what I want, I'll quit the game before I'll do a picture I don't like.'

 She's happy now, has an entirely different outlook on life. But money hasn't brought that about. In fact, now that she's here mak- ing Success Story" at the RKO studio, she isn't even living in her pretentious home, preferring 8 small apartment. ha%.
 The reason she advances is that she didn't think it worth while to open the house for such 8 short period of time-she's returning to New York Jan. 15.
 The real truth of the matter, however, is that she's afraid to live there with only servants around her. It's too big, lonely.

CHARGES OF POLITICS IN
RELIEF

A paramount factor in the coming
elections are the voters who are get
ting help from the Government.
either in the form of relief or hene-
fit crop payments.
Opposition forces are charging
that the Administration is playing
politics with relief, "You can't beat
Santa Claus" has become common
expression among them.
Suggestions have been made from
time to time that persons on relief
rolls should be disenfranchised so as
to prevent politics from creeping in.
Mere mention of this rouses the ire
on the relief administrator, who
points to the humiliating effect it
would have on the morale of the
thousands who are unemployed thru
no fault OF their own.
