Chongesin Week
B, the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 12.-Commodity
prices hit the upward trail again
this week following the setback of
the previous seven-day period.
Growing congressional resistance
to price controls provided a favor
able background for rising quota
tions. Heavy industrial and con-
Sumer buying kept the pot boiling
vigorously. For the week the Asso-
ciated Press price index of 35 spot
commodities advanced to 1916
from $3.50.
Cotton was an outstanding per-
former in cash markets as crop re-
ports indicated the smallest yield
in twenty years. Talk of possible ex-
port subsidies for cotton helped to
puah quotations to the highest level
since 1890
Hogs also moved up sharply,
touching a four-year high Of $11 so a
hundredweight at Chicago, although
prices eased bit as the week closed.
Lambs also were higher.
Other foods moving upward were
eggs, cocoa, coffee, flour and Lard.
Wheat and rye also picked up
ground during the week.
Among industrial materials, rub
ber, bituminous coal, turpentine,
wool and tin sold at higher prices.
The few commodities showing de-
clines for the week were lumber,
sugar, butter, cattle and corn. Oats
were the biggest loser.

WELCOME, TONY!

lot of hands were extended in warm greeting yesterday in Juneau to Anthony J. Dimond, Alaskas Delegate in Congress here his first visit to the Territory in year.
 It has been a year of hard work for Tony" Dimond
 Not that Irony" is doing any complaining, or that he even degns to mention the long hours of conferences and testimony before committees and the grueling grind of preparing bills to be presented to committees or read on the floor of the House or Senate.
 Delegate Dimond though the pace is fast and the track rough in places is genuinely happy that he has been instrumental in bringing the huge ap- propriations for national defense projects to Alaska He is pleased that the Territory he represents at Washington D. C., is at last point of front-lne consideration in the race to make America an ar senal of democracy and a capably defended nation.
 He recognizes that any Federal money allotted for expenditure in the Territory in these days must be tied to some National Defense need and he sees many institutions and developments needed in Alaska which are not strictly of a defense nature. These things too Irony" Dimond is working toward with every effort at his command.
 These are not the sort of things find from talking with Delegate Dmond. They are the things we know from his record of accomplishments and from the enthusiasm and sincerity with which he talks about the bis pending and the things he hopes may be accomplished for Alaska
 But Irony" Dimond isn't going to have long stay in the Alaska he loves. With the Congress on vacation and due to re-convene on September 15, Dimond must be back to the National Capital by September 25. There too many bills of vital importance to Alaska, pending in Congress, to allow our delegate to remain away long.

All Hail to Corn
Cincinnati Enquirer)

From the time that bread kept the P- grms alive in their first years of struggle in America corn has been the staff of life for large portions of the country This is particularly true of the South where the preparation of corn meal for the table is a fine art
 It was the Indians who taught the Pilgrims how to plant corn and how to it. But we have inn proved vastly on that early tutelage. The Indians cultivated their corn with clamshell hoes. They used sticks to plant it. They planted it in little hills and with the grains of corn they put squash seeds. We do the except that with our farm machinery we plant the corn in rows. Instead of squash we grow pumpkins with it.
 On every farm in America corn is grown; usu- ally as the staple crop. It fattens the hogs; 1t makes Bourbon whisky which every Kentuckian will admit is the best of all stmulants; it can be turned into sugar; it is marvellous food for man; cattle love its dried leaves and its stalks can be made into paper. Altogether it is marvellous grain Wheat, barley, oats, and rice are foreigners. or course we have assmilated them they are thor oughy a part of us But corn is native It is American. We fioE corn cobs in the graves of the Mound Builders. It was here centuries before we white men came Just enjoying it as green corn-corn the cob. succulent and satisfy ing. We hail it as delcacy beyond compare

the other day on the floor of the House by John I'M Coffeess In word the congressman was saying was that the defense organization in Wash ington is top-heavy with dollar-a year men whose interest in their government positions is largely in securing public contracts for the corporations Of which they officers.
 It is unjust and unfair in the highest degree to charge to imply that William s. Knudsen, for ex- ample is particularly interested in placing defense contracts with General Motors and that John Big gers of Toledo, who is production manager of the OPM, is placing the interest of Lbbey- Owens Ford above that of its competitors.
 Such industrial leaders as Knudsen and Biggers have left their private empoyments and gone to Washington to serve their government because their government called them. In very real sense they have been drafted to serve their nation as the lectees in training camps have been drafted,
 To impugn their motives to imply that in their official capacities they in any wise looking out the interests of the companies in which they are officers to confess either gross ignorance or wilful maliciousness.
 It was necessary of course for the government to go to successful business enterprises for who are capable of directing the program of industrial mobilization. That program has not moved forward as fast it should because the industrial leaders were drafted too late and because also there are too many reformers in top positions anxious to ad- vance upon the goal of social reform whether we rearm not.
 We should like nothing better than to have one of these outstanding business leaders designated as head of the entire defense program and given full power to make decisions and to cut the official red tape which ties up defense production in a hundred ways.
 And incidentally any dollar-a-year in Washington who sought to serve his former instead of his present. employer would place contracts with his competitors rather than his company. Bet ter than anyone else he understands how little profit and how much grief these public contracts entail.

HOROSCOPE E "The stors incline
 but do not compeW
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER Il

Mingled good and evil are indi- cated in the horoscope for today. While the stars stimulate leaders and encourage sagacity there is a threatening sign for labor.
 HEART AND HOME: This is a favorable date for starting new work or taking new positions The configuration is promising for the home and the family, both of which will be appreciated as never before. Contrast between conditions here and conditions in occupied coun- tries of Europe will be felt by even the least serious Americans. Young men in uniform will carry happy memories and will seek havens of peace in cottages and city dwell lings, wherever the latchstring is out; that should be at every door.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: While the world watches each days terrible waste in the World War it is wise to read the stars for forecast of the time when peace is attained. With European cities destroyed, lands devastated and centers of in dustry in ruins it will be the task of the United States to carry. on as the savior of nations. Here fac tories and agriculture, expanded to meet war exigencies, will continue to produce magnificently for end- less needs. Now is the time to look forward with the light of astrology
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Individffal sacrifice will become more and moro necessary from this date, but many selfish persons will question the ur- gency of self-denial in this land of abundance. Campaigns of edu- cation will be carried on by the press and the radio, but subtle fifth column suggestions will have eff feet upon certain minds. Astrolo- gers warn of trend toward ex- travagance among all classes. Prices of luxuries will rise, but there will be large sales of things not nec- essary in a war period.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS :. Entrance of Uranus into the sign of Gemini in August will continue to influence warning nations, each violently insisting that it has right on its side New tactics will be ev:- dent in Hitler's campaign. The war of nerves, due to Neptune's influ- |ence, will be less effective for the Axis while the Victory movement gathers influence in Nazi-occupied countries. Gradually a sense of the rights of man will gain among op- pressed victims of Hitler and the seeds of rebellion will germinate rapidly.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of pro- gress financially and nationally. Gains of many sorts will be made by men who serve their country.
 Children born on this day should be fortunate in their life experi- ences. They should be highly intel ligent and personally attractive. Exponents of good will, they have ability to win success.
