COLONEL RICE
 SPEAKS HERE
.A.E.F. Officer Home From Australia Attends E. !.
 WoIf's Banquet

A farewell supper was held last night for Ejnar I. Wolf, commander of Clark Commandery, Knights Templar, at the Masonic temple with Col. Roy E. Rice of the Army Air Corps as the principal speaker. Wolf is leaving for the army next month.
 Comdr. Wolf, an empIoye of the state highway department. has been active in Masonic and Odd Fellow circles for many years. After the business meeting over which Wolf presided for the last time, Q supper was served by members of Naomi chapter, O. E. s.
 Col. Rice, past commander of the American Legion, returned to his Woodbury home recently on fur- tough. Before his return, he was chief of personnel for the Army Air Corps in Australia and the south west. Several weeks ago he was sent to Washington on a special mission, after which he. received his furlough. Col. Rice was formerly employed by the Scovill Mfg. Co.,, and has been in the service since last February. t
 Describing the problems of supply, transportation, communication and personnel in the southwest Pacific, Col. Rice stated that the Australian welcome the American troops and cooperate splendidly with them. He said that teamwork by the mem bers of the Air Corps will win the war for the Allies.
 At the meeting Col Rice explained that although we are taking heavy toll amongst the enemy forces, the JapS seem to be able to replace their forces almost overnight. One of the great hazards of the American airmen, almost as great as being killed in a crash, is returning to a base after escaping from 8 plane. The jungles are extremely dense and surrounding waters are infested with sharks and crocodiles.
 Lauding the navigators of the planes, Col. Rice explained that the many small islands would otherwise be entirely missed by the pilots. He stated that both the health and the moral of the troops is excellent.

There appears TO be no tend

This Will increase the cost Of pro-

II may be expected, therefore.
that commodity prices will rise

Further Rise in Prospect
For Commodity Prices

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-From the
outbreak of the war 10 the end of
1910. commodity prices. on the
average, showed relatively small
rise. according 10 the Alexander
Hamilton Institute. The price in
dex, compiled by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics on the basis of
1926 as 100, advanced only Go per
cent, rising from the pre-war
figure of $50 in August, 1899, 10
500 in December, 1910. For 1910
as whole, the price index aver
aged 7S.6. or only slightly above
the 1899 annual figure of I'll.
Early in 1871, commodity prices
began 10 rise at a much acceler-
ated pace. despite the fact that
the government established ptice
ceilings on number of Commod-
tiles. The price index rose from
800 in December, 1910. TO 93.1 in
December, 1871, an increase of
l64 per cent. The annual average
for l94l was $40 as compared
with 1876 in 1910, an increase Of
1919 per cent.
The prospect is that commodity
prices will continue TO rise during
1912 unless the govern n I
freezes all prices and wages at
current levels. as was recently
done in Canada At The present
time, it is questionable whether
Congress will put into effect such
a drastic price control measure.
