Mrs. Logan was last seen by
neighbors On June l, police reported.
Mrs. Peete. when first questioned,
continually denied knowledge of the
body and refused to comment on
Mrs. Logan's absence.

DISPOSITION OF WAR
SURPRISES NEEDS STUDY

There should be no excuse for permit
ting the disposition of millions of dollars
worth of war surpluses to become the
scandal or the economic disturber as hap
pened after World War one. 1t is time
even now to begin to chart a sensible and
adequate course of action
In the main there are two outstanding
phases that must have a positive pro
gram. There must be no speculation,
either by individuals or nations. Both
these conditions prevailed after 1918.
Supplies that will be in foreign coun-
tries should be less trouble in disposition
than the vast stores of many articles at
home 1t we'll could be a good policy to
simply write off the books the articles
abroad but not permitting racketeers to
Law hold of them or for restored nations
to use them in trade speculatlons to the
detriment of this country as happened
before. If it is advisable to leave them
where they are now, these goods should
be allocated and disposed of to the best
advantage of the people who can use
them in the years of rehabilitation they
will REQUIRE. and under supervision by
this government until all fully are abb
sorbed and with no chance that they could
be put on the market
At home, complete knowledge of the
potential production of the things en-
umerated in the surpluses should be at
hand before any actual move is made
for their release. 1t should not be dlffl-
cult to prevent glutting the market on
single item. Manifestly there are many
articles that could be released in large
amounts and speedily simply because
reconversion will be slower in some IN,
stances than in others. Neither should
there be any material loss to the govern
ment in the program of disposal.
Necessarily the whole process will
cover a period of years. 1t is not expect
ed that conditions of production and con-
sumers' needs can be so we'll understood
or calculated as to permit the mind of
one person or minds of many to solve the
problem or work out q completed pro-
gram in a moment. The danger is that
this very attitude may be assumed Wnlcn
can mean only economic chaos and wreck
ing of long distance, we'll drawn up

These slaughter figures would in
dicate more meat for consumption
but the War Food Administration
has announced plans tC change the
beef set-aside so that a percentage
of the beef frcm utility steer, heifer
and COW carcasses will be set aside
to he used IN canned meat items for
purchase by government agencies,
principally the army. This change is
being made to make utility beef
available for canning. The War
Food Adminis tration said additional
canned meat for government agen-
cies is urgently needed and this di-
version of utility beef to meat can
ners is necessary in order that these
Gamers maintain capacity produc-
ton.
simultaneously a statement was
made by the Department Of Agri-
culture that 1945 production of all
meats will be almost 2,000,000,000
pounds less than the 24,500 00O,0O0
pounds production indicated for
this year. This decrease is. said to b.
largely because of reduced hog pro-
duction. Present supplies for civilian
use are running about Is per cent
below TIE same period last year.
Meat supply for civilians in 1945 will
depend upon military developments
in Europe, where victory fer the
Allies early in l945 would reduce
znilitary and lendlease require
ments by over a billion poundc.
Imperial Valley press., 1944-12-21

1t will be noticed from the foregoing
table that even $500 and $1,000 bills have
increased at faster rate than 81 and So
bills
Under a normal expansion of business
and prosperity one would expect, other
things equal, that bills of different de-
nominations would expand at approx
mately the same rate. In general the
Government supplies currency and bills
of various size in proportion as they are
asked for by the banks, which in turn
ask for them in proportion as they are
asked for by their customers. The exist
ing discrepancy in the increase in bills
of various size can doubtless be explain
ed in part by the fact that many indus
trial workers, unaccustomed to keeping
bank accounts, have been saving their
increased incomes for convenience in the
form of Experimentation bills.
But this explanation does not seem
adequately to account for the actual
situation 1t does not seem an unreason-
able presumption that part of this result
has been brought about by the existence
of black markets. Some retailers and
wholesalers, paying and receiving illegal
prices, and not wishing these transac-
tions to appear on their books or to go
through their banks, may have called
for larger-denomination bills to make
these transactions. The evidence pre-
sented by the table is circumstantlal and
not conclusive But whatever the explain
alton of the disproportionate expansion
of the larger bills, the fact itself IS
curious and interesting one.

CELESTIAL SHOW NOW
AT ITS FINEST

1t does not require gifted astronomer
or a nightly student Of the heavens TO
appreciate and enjoy the colossal show
every night at this season OF the year
For instance, three nights ago thousands
gazed in wonder and awe at Celestial
performance that happens monthly.
Tipping the upward end of wonder
full new moon hung dazzling star.
To the eye the two heavenly bodies al
most touched. In a half hour that lilu-
sion faded and the star was below farther
away. The next night they were Tar
apart. They will continue to go their
ways until the next new moon. AND II
the atmosphere is as clear as the other
night. the show will be repeated.
The star? Venus, one of the planets
and believed by some to have been the
Star of Bethlehem which guided the
shepherds to the manger where lay the
Christ-Child. =.
The proximity of the two bodies is
known as a conjunction. Their closeness
was an illusion since Venus is 61,O0O,OOO
miles farther from the earth than the
moon.
Early risers may see Saturn doing the
same turn at morning performance on
the eastern horizon. Or If not Saturn,
rise early lust for one of the magnltl-
cent sunrises at this season.
Or if sunup is too early, drift out Tor
the most gorgeous sunsets to be seen any
where in the world. Nature is prodlgal IN
her displavs of wonder, and all free for
the seeker.

THE BIG BILLS
New York TimeS)

(NeW YORK 1lmeS)
Since the end of 1899 the volume of
money represented by bank deposits has
more than doubled, and the volume of
money represented by hand-to-hand cur
rency has more than tripled. The latter
rose from $1,000, 100000 to S23,S00,000,-
600 at the end of September of this year.
But a study of the increase that has tax
en- place in notes of different denomina-
tions brings out an even more striking
fact. The big-denomination bills of $40,
$50 and 500 have increased at much
faster rate than the smaller bills of 81

A tit too much suieiding has been
pulled off lately in this country
You can't wonder when epidemics
of suicide take place in defeated
and subjugated nations; but suicide
is far too abnormal in a victorious
and prosperous land like our own.
Always. however, the suicide feels
himself an exceptional person and
i'm most exceptional circumstances.
The cases most played up in the
newspapers lately have beo1 cases
of women, which leads to the query,
whether women are more likely to
become involved i'm such situations
as to offer no means of escape, but
death.
Undoubtedly society has imposed
heavy loads upon feminiiIity and
not fair ones at that. Much could
be done TO tighten those loads, but
that's a long, almost endless road
TO travel before anything salutary
may be accomplished.
II is worthy of question too
whether the quicker remedy might
not lie i'm the re-educatiOn of wo-
mankind with regard to her own
rights and limitations and the best
ways of guarding and maintaining
them. Here's this beautiful and dash
ing Mexican actress, Lupe Velez.
She should not have died. Society,
probably institutionalized religion
had more to do with her death than
any individual person.
It's the age-old story of such love
tragedies as that of Tess of the
d-Urbervilles, of Margaret in Faust,
of Juliet and Romeo. History is
crowded with such tragedies and
the only way to forestall them is to
change the ideas and prejudices OF
society which is n tremendously long,
long row to hoe.
-. Nobody can take his own life with
a good conscience. That poor little
Velez girl didn't have good con-
science at all about it as her last
notes plainly reveal. Her church, in
which she was brought up from a
child, considers suicide a crime and
condemns to everlasting punishment
anyone guilty of it. The weight of
religious opinion outside her church
agrees with that attitude; SO no
wonder she could not follow that
path with a good conscience. Hamlet
devoutly wi hes that "The Ever
lasting had not fixed his canon
'gainst self-slaughter," which shows
clearly that attitude of Denmark
and the Middle Ages on the topic.
The rlain and daring truth (which
the only nation ever to accept is the
SOviel. Union) is that there is no
such thing as an illegitimate child.
Who stamped it illegitimate? The
Creator? No, society. And what right
had society to assume such pre-
negative as to put the seal of any
lifelong shame ON a little newborn
babe. Now and then we. see a woman
bold enough and brave enough to
live up to that.
That's where the crime lay in this
case, on the shoulders of society;
and that's where the responsibility
lay, on the shoulders of society. In
any fully enlightened society, that
poor crazed girl should have been
allowed to live, have her child, and
rear it without fear or favor of Soc
iety and without the yea or nay of
any one individual man on earth.

Farm real estate values continued
their upward movement during the
four months ended November l, 1914,
with an increase of about per cent
for the country as a whole. The
largest increases occurred in the
Mountain and Pacific states, while
little CT no upward movement was
reported in many areas in the re-
mainder of the country. This state
ment is given us by L. w. Fluharty,
specialist in farm management of
the Agricultural Extension Service,
University of California.
Preliminary data indicate that the
since last March is about 10 per
cent less than was true in the cor
responding period CT 1943. Although
a relative slackening of market ac-
tivity is apparent, the level of sales
in most regions continues abnormal
ly high! The volume of resales, that
is, sales of properties acquired with
in the preceding two years, is high,
particularly in the far west, where
resales were 20 per cent of all sales
in the third quarter of this year
The proportion Of sales for cash
and the average size of down pay
ments increased slightly. Again,
however, small down-payments and
short-term mortgages were reported
in a significant minority of the
credit Financed transfers.
