The Federal crop reduction pro- gram and emergency purchasing of livestock have augmented farm in- comes.
 Moreover, effects of drought on crops and livestock ranges in the Twelfth District was relatively less important than in other important agricultural sections of the United States. And, too, recent rainfall has materially improved the condition of soil for crop planting and for the growth of range forage in most parts of the district

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2. A marked improvement in the farm price relationship during the last year is revealed by the Bureau of Agricultural Economic Indices
 Whereas prices of all farm prod ucts increased 28 per cent between October IS, 1883, and October IS, 1884, estimates on the cost of com modities farmers buy show an in crease of but g per cent during the year ending September IS, 1894.
 The farm increases represent higher market values only, and do not include rental and benefit pay ments from processing taxes. Minus the latter, full parity with industry doo not yet obtain While the in- dex of all commodities bought by farmers stood at 126, the index of farm prices was an even 100.
 Improvement is reflected in a more rapid rise in farm prices than in non-farm prices.

that the Republicans had suffered dis
astrous defeats in the congressional
elections, he said that the party had
Jared much better in the contests for
local and State Offices 1t is sound,
he said, at its roots. The Iowa SEN
ator is making no demand for draS-
tic reorganization of the party at
this time. He said that many of the
so-called old guardsmen have been
already eliminated, either by time or
failure to be reelected. Nor was he
sure that all Of the older and more
conservative leaders should be tossed
out of the window. He said the Re
publicans should take firm stand on
half dozen legislative issues and let
it go at that.
Between the Borah idea for a gen.
eral clean up Of the party organiza-
ton, the Fess idea, more or less sus-
tanned by Dickinson, that the Re
publicans should seek to build on what
they have rather than rebuild, and
the Vandenberg idea for kind of
coalition effort on the part of the
G. o. P there IS wide divergence.
When the proposal, advanced by some
of the Republicans, that the old
party name be discarded for liberals"
or some such term, is cast into the
melting pot along with the other ideas,
it would be bold prognosticator who
attempted to say what would come out

ing that the Government must event.
ually devise a permanent relief pro-
gram to replace present emergency
measures. Harry L. Hopkins, Federal
administrator, told relief officials from
IS States today that 100000 families
will be on relief rolls this Winter.
II believe that funds of relief agen-
cies will be gone by February IS, but
I can assure you that Congress will
continue to care for needy families
on the present basis and that we will
not abandon in the Winter of 1884
and 1885 the work started in 1885,"
Hopkins said.
Il propose giving the needy fam
lilies 10 acres of ground and house
and then letting them live on that
land with help from relief" Hopkins
said. Il believe there are 100000
families on relief now and that num-
ber will be increased during the
Winter by another million
Ten per cent of those on relief are
from the drought area and they will
be removed from relief rolls within
a year, the administrator declared.
Announcing that he was opposed
to unemployment insurance. Hopkins
told the relief officials that:
Making people self-supporting is
the answer. Give them relief, give
them a house and a piece of land
and they will work out their own
troubles"

The amount of money to be

Mr.. Hopkins told congressional
leaders he hopes to get $40 mil

dition to a balance of $50 million
dollars he will have on July l.
He would not forecast the prob
able relief demand by months or

S9OOSU|T OVER
INK CONTRACT

PHILADELPHIA CAMP - Abb
rupt conclusion was written into
the cass of the White Manufacture
ing Corporation against the for
eigh mission board of the National
Baptist Convention, when a jury
in the municipal court last Friday
returned an opinion in favor of the
Baptists.
The white concern was suing TO
recover 5000 alleged damages in
the case of quantity of ink, val
'ued at $1,147.5O, which was sold
by written contract to one of the
Baptist Convention employees at
its branch office in Tennessee, on
March 80, 1929.
It was said the contract was
made with L. Tyre, of the conven-
TONS printing department.
The suit averred that S652.50
worth of the ink had been shipped
to the defendants shortly after the
contract had been made, when the
company received notice that the
balance would not be accepted.
The court held an employee was
not authorized to draw contract.
