MOVIE DOG FAILS
 TO OBEY ORDERS

Hollywood. Dec. 30-(UP)-The Great Dane which comedian Nat Pendleton has been training these last 10 months to be movie actor went back to the dog-house today, in every sense of the word.
 Pendleton devoted three or four hours day to the dog, Sandow. Finally the big pooch obeyed his every command. Then Pendleton spent two months trying to convince Metro Goldwyn- Mayer that he had an actor in Sandow.
 Finally the studio gave in, and Sandow reported for work on one picture yesterday. His master went to act in another.
 Three hours later Sandow was re- turned to his master. The dog had refused to act for anyone but Pen- dleton.
 "So help me, can't give up my career for his, the comedian walled.

FARM IMPLEMENT

Cash Agricultural Income

CHICAGO, March 12.-Still fac

after record breaking business in
1887, the farm implement industry

Withstand recession tendencies.
General business conditions have
affected the industry, these sources
reported. but the general outlook,
although somewhat uncertain and
dependent upon numerous factors, Is
optimistic.
Cash farm income. an important
factor in the implement industry
was expected to be about 10 per cent
less than last year. which was the
best since 1929, according to Nat c.
Murray. = Chicago agricultural sta
tistician. Murray based his estimate
on the decline in farm prices. II his
ngure Is accurate, farm income win
be only slightly below that of 1896
and will be better than in 1895.

vance has left the backlog of obso-

Commodity Price
Changes for Week
BY A. A. PATTON,
Associated Press 0tatistician.


NEW YORK, March l2.-Commod-
ity prices sagged this week, continu-
ing an unbroken record Of declines
since the turn of the year.
Every important group-foods, farm
products and industrial items-shared
the weakness except live stock, which
advanced for the fourth consecutive
period.

dropped to 70.7l per cent of the 1925
average-the lowest level since mid
November. l934-from 1925 q week
ago and compared with "a. so last year.
Down Five Per Cent.
The steady whiting away at the
staple price structure since the first
OF the year has dropped the index S
per cent. This. of course, must be
added to the rs per cent slump In
1887.
Live stock alone breasted the de-
cllning trend In recent weeks. This
resulted from the sharp curtailment
OF shipments from farms to markets.
which conceded with an unusually
low level Of packers stocks. The
upturn in the last four weeks has
extended to approximately 10 per
cent.
The dip in grains this week was
moderate. Corn, wheat. rye and
oats, however, were all lower. Cotton
slipped back as mill demand showed
no signs Of picking up.
Market-basket items Of the average
housewife were substantially down.
sugar, cocoa, coffee, flour and lard
were all cheaper-at wholesale-while
eggs advanced moderately.
Textiles on Slightly.
Textiles dropped slightly. The in
dex. however, was the only one losing

reacted.
Industrial staples pressed into new

WHEAT RETREATS

Session.
BY FRANKLIN MULLIN,
Assoc lated Press financial Writer

CHICAGO. March 12--The wheat
pit hummed with traders talk about
the European political situation today
but it had no lasting bullish effect on
prices.
Wheat quotations rose as much as
Is cents at the opening to a high
OF s9as for May delivery. Later,
however. the advance was wiped out
by scattered profit taking and COM
mission house selling, inspired partly
by a reaction at Winnipeg.
Speculative interest was small, many
traders apparently being unwilling to
take position in the market until the
european situation became more quiet,
Prices IN other world markets were
marked up 3 to as much as IA cents
but the full advance was not main
tanned. Observers said the action of
prices indicated traders apparently
did not appraise European develop
ments as an immediate war threat.

rose as much as Ia early in the day
but this gain was more than erased
IN the subsequent reaction which
carried the contract down az cents

Milling interests were buyers here
and domestic wheat export business
expanded, being estimated at 500. 900
bushels. On the other hand. crop
comment from the Southwest was
favorable, some points reporting wheat

growth and in the best condition in

Letter received from s. NJ
FELTON,, of the Methodist Church
at Tavernier, asked for a bell
which was on one of the ferries,
and which the writer concluded,
would be of little or no use when
the bridges were finished
Clerk Sawyer was requested to
write Mr.. FELTON, and advise him
that the bell would still be in use
after the bridges were completed
Mr.. Porter was requested to in
vestigate the matter of assisting
the newly organized Federal Art

DIR. Singleton, secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce, said it
was his belief that the reorgan-
ization of the project in Key
West would add at least . per
cent to the interest being taken
in the city by visitors.
As the project is under the
supervision of Townsend Tor

his art, principally as an etcher

the management of the booth.
As for the charge that he is
away from the booth most of the
time, he admitted it, saying he
had been constructing Key West
signs at highway locations and
working on having a new slip
put in at Bahia Honda. Com
plants that Mrs. Egan is not the
qualified person to conduct the
booth when he was away are un-
justified Mr.. Egan said. One of
the criticisms, Mr.. Egan said, was
that she had never taken the in
terest to visit Key West.
INSTRUMENTATION has come from
the Miami-Key West excursion
tour bus station and also from
other travel agencies, which cut
out the Key West ferry schedule
and paste the name of their own
agencies below. and not from the
Key West booth. Mr.. Egan said.
