The woods were full of amateurs and
would-be stars, but good porter was
hard to find!
At that, about all that Sam ever
discovered about the porter was that
he was Spanish, uncommunicatlVe to
the point of clammishneSs and good
worker, all of which suited Sam. A
busy executive has no time, especially
around a radio studio, to keep tabs on
the help and predict their future
whims. 1t was hard enough to keep
I'D with the talent at times!
So, If in the interim between two
duties, Jaime would lean on his broom
and watch the programs for a few
moments through the glass partitions
separating the studios from the re-
ception lounge, Sam paid very little
attention.
On one or two occasions, however,
he did ask the rather handsome Span
lard what he thought Of the programs.
Taciturn as always, Jaime would
merely smile and shrug eloquently.
But, from his Latin heritage. the por-
ter would watch, and think Of his own
long, long thoughts, and of what he
was thinking no one knew.
" X X
THAT last statement isn't strictly
true Maria, the little dark girl
Jaime visited couple of nights a
week, had both an inkling of and an
influence over the porter's thoughts.
For a matter of some little time
there had been an understanding be-
tween the two that some day there
would be home all their very own, a
neat back yard with rose bushes and
flower beds. and in time a few little
ones playing in it.
But every once in a while Maria
would become just bit exasperated
at the slowness Of Jaime's progress in
this land Of opportunity. 1t didn't
sem as though her prospective spouse
was taking very great pains in getting
ahead.
Don't you ever consider asking that
boss Of yours for better wages?" she
would storm at him. "Oh, I know you
well enough. Jaime Gonsolvo! Always
you were the silent one, and away
from your own countrymen, you are
doubly bad! All, If only were man,
You would see quickly enough that
I would make at least enough money
to take a wife"
TAIME would usually smile and dis
miss the TRADE with good nature.

FARM PRICE INDEX ADVANCES
TO HIGHEST POINT IN SIX YEARS

that the rise this summer in prices
of farm products has not all been
net gain for farmers, since farm
ers have had to pay higher prices
for goods purchased. Short feed
crops have raised the price of all
feeds purchased, for instance, to
the highest point recorded since
September 1880.
Feed price increases, the bureau
explained, were chiefly responsible
for the advance in the average of
prices paid by farmers for all COM
modities. The index of prices paid
for all commodities purchased was
126 on August Is, compared with
1913 on July Is, and with 1875 on
August Is last year.
. The index of prices paid is slight
ly higher than that of prices receiv-
ed, but the disparity against farm
ers on August Is was the smallest
since August 1929. This summers
gain in farm prices raised the pur-
chasing power index of farm pro-
ducts to 98 as of August Is, COM
pared with SO on July Is, and with
IS on August Is year ago.
The five-year period 1909-14
equals 100 in all of these price in

Is, and with LOG on August Is a
year ago. Grain led the. march to
higher prices during the past
month, with both wheat and corn
passing 81 bushel, for the first
time since July 1928.
Prices of truck crops rose sub
stantially during the month; prices
of dairy products were strong;
chickens and eggs advanced season.
ally, and meat animal prices were
higher. Cotton, cottonseed, and
fruits were the only major groups
to recede from the July level.
Group indexes of the bureau show
that prices received by farmers for
grain were up 20 points during the
last month, truck crops were up 10
points, dairy products were up 8
points, chickens and eggs were up
6 points, and meat animals We're
up 4 points. Cotton and cottonseed
were down 2 points, and fruit prices
dropped 9 points.
Compared with a year ago on
