81 guarantee, gentlemen, that at the right

There will be no new Wilson arising to stir
up America against U.s."
eve shall soon have a working organiza-
ton in America We shall train our youth.
And we shall have men whom degenerate

A Sensational Exposure of
HitIer's Secret Plans by
DR.. Hermann RauSChninQ

"The religions are all alike-no matter
what they call themselves. They have no
future, certainly not for Germans :. One
is either German or Christian. You
cannot be both e. The parsons will be
made to dig their own graves. They will
betray their God to us. They will betray
anything for the sake of their miserable
little jobs and incomes"
Mexico is country that cries for cap
able master. 1t is being ruined by it's gov
ernment. With the treasure of Mexican
soil Germany could be rich and great. Why
do we not tackle this task?"
If there ever was place where democ-
racy is senseless and suicidal it is in South
America =. let us wait few years and
help them overthrow it. But in the mean
time we must send our people out to them.
Our youth must colonize"

1910 Farm Volume
Expected 10 Reach
New Record
Rise in Annual Income
Above 1899 Level
To Aid Business
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 22.-The
quantity of farm products mar
keted so far this year has been
running at higher rate than last
year, when the volume was the
largest on record, according to the
Alexander Hamilton Institute. In
May, the quantity marketed was
40 per cent larger than a year
ago.
Despite this increase in the VOL
unie to record high amount,
the demand has shown a suffi-
cient expansion not only tn alb
sorb the supply, but to absorb it at
prices above last years level Not
withstanding the recent weakness
in the prices of number of farm
products. the average price of all
farm products IN May was SO per
cent higher than a year ago.
Although the improvement over
last year was not particularly i'm
pressive in May. the situation in the
first five months was relatively sat-
isfactory. Despite the curtailment
in May, benefit payments for the
first five months amounted to 1884
100000 this year as against $362,-
0OO, 900 last year, gain of $22, ,0OO,-
600. As the result of this increase
in benefit payments and the gain
in receipts from marketings, the
farmers total income in the first
five months amounted to $3,243,-
100000 this year as against $2,949.- :
0O0,00 last year, an increase of 10
per cent.
This increase in income was off,
set to only small extent by a rise
of 90 per cent in the prices of goods
which the farmers bought. Conse-
quently. the farmers purchasing
power in the first five months was
7.8 per cent larger than in the cor
responding period of 1899.
The fact that farm income fo,
five months has been running at a
higher rate than last year provides
good evidence that the prospective
increase in the farmers annual in
come this year will be realized. II
is possible that if the war should
come to an early end the gain in
the annual amount might be less
than that indicated during the first
five months. The end of the war
might result in the prices of farm
products showing a deflationary
tendency.
The prospect at the present time
however, Is that such a def1ationary
movement would not be extensive
because of the support which the
Governments armament program
Is expected to afford. Consequently,
under any circumstances, the an
nual farm income this year should
be higher than in 1899 and general
business, which is dependent to a
large extent upon farm income,
should benefit accordingly.

Stock Averages
BY VICTOR EUBANK,

NEW YORK, July 22.-Stocks
generally remained in a comatose
condition today with war influences
again receiving principal blame for
the apathy.
A feeble try at recovery was made
by steels, but even these never got
far out in front. They were aided
by more than looked for increase
in this weeks ofhcially estimated
mill operating rate. Production was
up for the third consecutive week
to a top mark since last December.
Maintenance of a wait-and-see
attitude by speculative forces, bro
kers said, still was based mainly on
fears of a market shock if and when
the German inaugurate their
threatened "all-out" assault on Eng.
land. British authorities, later in
the day, were expected to issue a
defy to Hitler's peace or destruc-
ton blast.
With dealings inconsequential
throughout, transfers for the five
hours were around $4,000 shares,
one of the smallest turnovers for q
full session since 1918.
A feature of the Lstless pro-
ceedings was the sale of a 20 300
share block of Kennecott at a loss
of only Il from a previous trans
action. This transfer, rumored to
have been from Canadian account,
originally was said to have been in
tended for private deal. In sim
liar trades of the big board tho
seller has conceded as much as q
to full point.
Among resistant stocks were
United States Steel Bethlehem,
General Motors, Chrysler, Mont
gomery Ward, United Aircraft,
Glenn Martin, Great Northern,
Southern Pacific and Johns-Man-
vile.
Shares Of Ex-Cell-O Corp, tool
and machine manufacturer, were
boosted when it was announced Sec
ond quarter earnings were nearly
five times greater than In the
comparable 1889 months.
