Hoo MARKET
EQUALS 1928
PEAK PRICE

CHICAGO, Aug. 8. U.P)-Hog pri-
ces mounted to $12 per hundred
pounds at the Chicago stock yards
today, the highest price paid since
the boom days of 1929
As trading began in the world
center for livestock marketing,
commission men bid prices up to
$1190 as they were faced with an
other day of short receipts from
the farm belt. Competitive bidding
soon drove the price up to the S12
mark which records show has not
been equalled since August of 1929,
Just before the stock market crash.
Three factors contributed to the
price boom in hogs which has sent
the price of pork chops and ham
so high that American housewives
have begun to look for substitutes.
These factors are:
/. Uncertainty over the fate OF
the processing tax because of re-
cent court decisions holding it un-
constitutional.
.. Shortage of supplies which are
only about so per cent OF normal.
3. Reduction in packing house
stocks which make competitive bid
ding for available supplies progress
sively kecner as the stocks are de-
pleted.
The second and third factors
were considered by market experts
to be the most influential because
various interpretations of the pro-
cessing tax situation from equally
authoritative quarters analyze it
Yariously as extremely bullish, ex-
tremely bearish and of no real sig
nificance.
Whatever may be the outcome of
court tests of the tax at least the
government control program had
its share in the shortage of sup
plies because of the AAA contracts
with farmers last year under which
they agreed to curtail their pro-
duction.
This curtailment, coupled with
the drought which resulted in a
further shortage, is the principal
reason for the price increase.

Don't Quote Me-
lBy United Press

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. - Post
master General James A. Farley
has Just suffered another rebuff ON
the postage stamp front-this one
rendered by President Roosevelt
himself.
So maybe it's lucky the mueh-be-
leaguered stamp chief is yoyaging
across the peaceful Pacific at this
moment enroute to Hawaii where
stamp troubles won't worry him too
much.
The new Farley stamp snub was
revealed at the national museum
where selections from President
Roosevelt's personal stamp collec-
ton had been placed on exhibit in
connection with the national con-
vention of the American Philatelic
society.
A number of choice pages from
the Presidents collection are on dis
play but none of the stamps, ia
nous TO collectors as Farley faV-
ors," are being shown.
The Farley fayors" are the spe-
cial proof-sheet prints OF commem-
orative stamps which Farley gave
away to friends. The gifts aroused
such ire on the part of collectors
that the post office department had
to print up duplicates and put them
on general sale. This eventually
proved neat piece of business as
the post office sold more than
81 ,66ooOO worth of the special
stamps.

it over her. Then when the rain
drops off the barn caves she will
be dry and can hatch her little
chickens in peace"
That's a good idea,' barked the
Sea Dog. Uncle Wiggily fastened
the umbrella over the hen lady's
nest doing it at time when she
was off it for a few minutes to go
get something to eat When she
came back to the nest, she was sur
prised to see the umbrella there
making a shelter for her SO she
wouldn't get wet.
oh. how kind of you, Uncle Wig
gily," she cackled. Il am sorry
was cross to you, but you see you
were a stranger to me. I thought
you might be after my little chick
ems that will soon hatch out"
So after that Uncle Wiggily and
! the hen, who was no longer mad,
became good friends. And if the
sauerkraut will stop tickling the
pumpernickel, I'll tell you next
about Uncle Wiggily and the swim
ming chickens.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE WET
HEN

Not far from Uncle Wiggilys
summer cottage in the woods at
Green Lake were farms and gar
dens. fields and meadows. Living
on these farms and in houses near
the gardens were many animal
people.
One day the jolly old rabbit gen.
tleman hoped away from his cot
tage and over toward one of the
farms.
I may find a new kind of ad-
venture there he said to himself.
Uncle Wiggily hoped all alone.
for his wife and Nurse Jane were
busy in the cottage and the bunny
boys and girls were making a new
sand city and having great fun.
Soon Mr. LongearS reached the
first farm which was kept by jolly
old Sea Dog gentleman. As Uncle
Wiggily hoped around the end OF
the barn he saw, sitting under a
bush beneath the caves of the barn,
hen lady all cuddled up. Her
eyes were shut.
How do you do, Mrs. Hen said
Uncle Wiggiiy politely.
Hen Is Angry
All of a sudden the hen ruffled
I'D her feathers, making herself
look twice as large as she really
was. and she opened her beak and
she opened her eyes and she cried:
Cut, Cut! Cuti'
oh, you're going to cut me, are
vou2" asked Uncle Wiggily in sur
prise. Why. what have I done?'
He hoped nearer.
Cav! Cav! Cav! Cut! Cut! Cut!
Ka Dab Cutl" screamed the hen,
who was now very angry, ruffling
her feathers more than ever Get
aWay from herel' she cried. She
popped up and chased Uncle Wig
gily her wings slithering on the
ground like those of an angry tur-
key gobbler.
MY goodness! What's the mat
ter with you? I haven't done any
thing. Why are you SO mad at
me?' asked Uncle Wiggily as he
hoped away, for he didn't want to
be bitten by the hen lady.

FRIENDSHIP q

Mrs. Evelyn Smith Of Chicago has
some unique ideas on friendship as re-
suit Of which she will stand before q
Judge tomorrow To learn whether she IS
to be electrocuted or spend the rest of
her life in prison.
Mrs. Smiths friendship for Mrs.
Blanche Dunkel and her willingness to
go TO the extreme in demonstrating that
friendship are the reasons why the for
mer will appear before the Judge
Mrs. DunkeI was in love with her dead
daughters husband and wished to pre-
vent him from marrying another woman
with whom he was associating. Mrs.
Dunkel. being unable to break up the i'm
pending match. decided she would rather
see her son-in-laW dead than married to
somebody other than herself and eN-
pressed herself so TO Mrs. Smith.
She repeated herself 50 much, accord
ing to Mrs. Smith, that the latter, in her
own words, thought she would go
screwy.s Finally Mrs Smith decided that
as a favor to Mrs. Dunkel she would kill
the man in question She did so in par
tieularly atrocious manner. first plying
her victim with poisoned highballs, and
when he was dead, sawed up his body
and disposed Of it.
The corpse was found and Mrs. Dun
kel questioned. She, apparently did not
have the same feelings about friendship
possessed by Mrs Smith and promptly
told the law that the latter had COM
mitted the crime. The police took the
trail of Mrs. Smith, caught up with her
and charged her with the crime. By this
time she had forgotten her friendship
for Mrs Dunkel, denied the crime and
accused her accuser Of committing the
deed.
The police finally wormed the truth
out of both women and their trial on
charge of murder followed. Waving
their right to a jury, the case was heard
before a Judge who pronounced both Of
them guilty of first degree murder.
Friendship is a wonderful thing and
all of Us should do all that We can to
foster it. However, it has its limits, and
any doubters are referred to Mrs. Smith
and Mrs Dunkel for confirmation of the
statement.

CLOSING TRANSIENT CAMP

Two different viewpoints are express
e on the closing Of the federal trans
lent camp here. and II remains for the
coming fall and winter months TO decide
which Of the viewpoints Is correct.
Those who have favored continuation
Of the camp assert that closing it means
the streets will be full O panhandlers
flocking here from the east to escape the
rigors Of winter. They point out that the
city has been renlarka ply free from beg
gars during the past two years when the
camp was in operation.
The opposite view is taken by those
who saw IN the camp merely a means for
those wishing to avoid work to be sup
piled with food, clothing and shelter.
They claim that with the closing Of the
local camp and similar camps eastward
along the border. transients will hesitate
to venture out to the far west. knowing
there is no safe and assured refuge for
them any more.
Camp supporters eontroyert this with
the assertion that lack Of such camps
prior to their establishment did not dis
courage transients from coming here
and that they will do SO again.
This particular issue IS aside from the
one on ''employables' and "unemploy-
ables" between the board of supervisors
and the SERA.
"Work or jail" ;" is the suggestion to
those who favor closing the camp. How
ever they do not go any further and ad-
wise Just where the work IS to be found.
It must be admitted that maintaining
men in comfort without work, is dan
gerous practice. It kills off any desire
for those receiving such care to return to
the ranks of workers. Possibly the gov
ernment was prompted to close up the
camp by realization of this fact.
Time alone will tell whether the camp
was a good thing for this community,
or an institution without which we can
very we'll do without.
