Prices on Bluffton Market
Chalked up to Highest
Levels Since Jan.
Shipments of Hogs Show no
Response in Volume to
Rapid Rise in Prices

Hog prices, in the doldrums for
past three months, did surprising
about-face the first of the week en-
couraged by war developments and
staged a spectacular rise to top of
$3.50 on the Bluffton market We'd
nesday morning.
The price rise, the highest since
January, however has not resulted in
any increase of shipments here, it
was said by local livestock buyers.
In fact shipments now are running
somewhat lighter than those of
month ago.
Two reasons for this were ascribed
by shippers here. The principal one
is belived to be a scarcity of hogs
which were heavily sold early this
year when the corn-hog price ratio
was unfavorable to the livestock feed
ers.
Expect Higher Prices
The other reason for curtailing of
offering is believed to be due to an
ticipation of higher prices by farm
ers who still hold marketable hogs.
Wednesday mornings top of $3.50
represented a gain of S1.10 per hun
dred pounds over the price one week
ago. 1t was likewise an advance of
so cents over Mondays top and 80
cents above Tuesdays best price.
Generally conceded was the claim
that developments of the European
war provided the spark-plug which
set off the hog market fireworks.
Whether this will remain a potent
factor in a sustained rise, however
appeared to be opensto question.
Quote Market Expert
Local feeders and shippers were
interested the first of the week in a
statement by G. B. Thorne of Chicago
representing the Institute of Ameri-
can Meat Packers who stated that the
German invasion of Denmark was not
expected to result in increased pork
exports from the United States to the
United Kingdom Immediately. Den.
mark, he said, had supplied Great
Britain with about one-third of its
cured pork. However, he added wher
large accumulations in both Great
Britain and Canada were consumed
there would be possibility of improv
ed demand for pork from the allies.

SUNSHINE OVER
ARIZONA
By ADYL REYOH

Whether there is, sunshine or
shadow over Arizona, when you
read this column November 5th,
will Have come and gone, but it will
remain a date that will stand for
ever in history regardless of who
has been elected as our President
of the United States of America.
Government of the People, by the
People, for the reaple, is the prin-
ciple on which our Democracy is
founded. 1t was built on the firm
foundation whose corner stone is
the right of every citizen to vote
for whom he thinks will hest serv
for the common good.
AS citizens, as individuals who go
to make UP the unity of our ma
ton, we have voted into office the
county, state and national office
holders by our majority vote. This
also is another principle of Democ-
racy, the Majority rule. It should
ever be the care of each consclen-
tiouS v~ting citizen to see that the
Majority is not really a vociferous
Minority.
AS we look forward into Fhe
future, we must remember that
the future power and prestige OF
this country depends upon a proper
development of our youthful citi-
zens. Let each and every one of you
help protect their dreams, % their
enthusias1nS, their ambition. Help
to guide them along the heritage
of romance, marriage, home build
ing, and children. These milestones
along the path of life are properly
the heritage of every young person
and should be the Source of life's
most blissful experiences, to be
measured when the sunset years
lead into the broad highway OF
another life over to and across
the River Jordan.
Most important among the many
vital teachings of Ahe young people
should be that of the ethics of q
good winner or loser. What better
>,me to preach this doctrine than
at election time, when of necessity
some must win and others lose.
Each one should carry continual
thought lhat no matter what we
undertake, it is hcw we accept sur
cess or failure that counts.
Sunrise and morning, star Sunse'
and evening star, the days sun
shine and the nights starlight
shed their rays on both the VIC
tors and the vanquished in the
election race, and may they all
work together for the United
States of America, and for the
glorious state of Arizona.

So soon after the World War
prosperity had begun and the Har-

try. Negro families were resorting
to house rent parties in order to
secure funds with which to main

show it was for it seems that every
body was on parade. House rent
parties started off a bit on the
innocent side. They supplement the
dwindling family incomes. However,
the going "got good" and they
became big, serious businesses. The
various sources of revenue added to
these parties were bootleg liquor
and "rooms for rent.
