FARM PRODUCT PRICES: The following comment comes "from "The Prairie Farmer," leading agricultural paper of the middle west and sounds good: “Recent substantial increases in prices of the major farm products indicate that the most important of the lost customers of business, the —American Farmer, is about to be restored to life. '.'Fjimiers and the people of country <owns directly dependent on agriflilture make up 40 per cent of the population and buying power ot the country. Restoration of that buying power through higher prices for <farm products is essential to renewed prosperity. The upward trend of farm prices is the most reliable indication that we have reached bottom and are beginning U> fljtnb back toward better times. “Price advances recorded so far are not artificial and are not due to anything but natural causes. In fait, these advances were overdue. There is no real surplus of any farm crop with the possible exception of cotton. For the first time in years the wheat crop of the United States will not meet our domestic requirements, while the world crop is not large enough to indicate any surplus. Demand for livestlTtTi has overtaken the supply, -.and there are indications of a further advance in the price of dairy products. “Basic conditions justify the advance that has taken place-so far in prices of farm products, and con' skierably more. How tar that advance will go depends on how rapidly men can be put back to work, for the economic interests of all producing classes are closely tied together. “For the r.|St time in nearly! three years the constructive forces of the country seem to have gained the ascendency. For the second consecutive month the average of commodity price levels has advanced. giving hope that the long decline is over. Dr. G. F. Warren of Cornell University, one of the best students of price movements in this country, is authority for the statement that farm prices will advance about twice as rapidly as other prices, just as they fell more rapidly when the tendency was downwa rd. "At their low point, the purchasing power of farm products in terms of other commodities was only 50 per cent of pre-war—a condition under which prosperity was impossible. The price of farm products is the most important business indicator, and each step upward marks a definite gain in the fight against the forces of depression. "(t is to be hoped that improvements already noted will restore confidence to bankers, and result in jnore liberal use of the credit madt available by the expansion policy of the Federal Reserve. It is important that real estate foreclosures be avoided Need extra money? You can get it here—quickly and confidentially on your own signature and security.

whenever possible. . In general the debtors of the country are the producers. and an easing of the policy ot forced liquidation will lend strength to the constructive forces that are at work.” 1 ' -- — LJohn T. Myers, for more than forty years, an outstanding figure ■ in Decatur business, died suddenly yesterday, bringing sorrow to a wide circle of friends. For several j years he lias made a, fight against • ill health, the while continuing his i business until recently, but the last i attack i.ime so suddenly and was i .-o severe that aid failed to resusiitate him. Mr. Myers was always interested in affairs which he believed would benefit the public and assisted in securing various industries and in other ways aiding his community. His life was a busy one and he was held in high esteem. Our sympathies are extended to the bereaved ones. We get a smile when we read that the Republicans expect to win the coming election because of slight rises in the markets the past week or two. We can't help but know that a lot ot folks have been so badly bruised by the depression that they are beyond aid and the good Lord knows that if prices would suddenly jump to three times the present quotations it wouldn't restore the average person. It would help of course, and we sure hope they come through, but don't get too hopeful. If we have learned any thing the past three years it is that we can't be too careful or too conservative. The legislature intends to stand pat on the $1.50 tax limit and its friends are insisting on sales and income taxes to make up the deficit. To get any money out of incomes the next year, they w ill have to place the exemption very low. Sales tax will cost a lot to collect and no one can guess what the returns will be. In the meantime every county will have to go through the form of declaring an . emergency, naming a commission ■ and getting along the best they can. It may work out but we doubt ' it. Another daylight robbery and | w hile it may have been and probably was by local talent, it calls attention again to the fact that every precaution should be taken to e’ean the city of undesirable loiterers, who seem to have made this somewhat a headquarters recenty. Mayor Krick's proposed new ordinance is well worth considering. Republicans claim the improvement in the stock market is due to the confidence in Mr. Hoover while Democrats say it is because ot the indications that Mr. Roosevelt will be elected. Take your choice. o * RADIO PROGRAM » « Wednesday’s 5 Best Radio Features WABC—CBS network 3:30 p. m.— , Kathryn Parsons. WABC—CBS network 4:45 p. m. — Funny boners. WHAF—NBC network 5:30 P.

SYNOPSIS “Marriage is like reading a novel without suspense. No matter how charmed you may be at first with the words, a sustained effort demands little surprises, little moments of not knowing what’s going to happen,” Pamela Warren informed her lovely, young niece. Patricia Braithwait, as they basked in the Palm Beach sunshine. Eight years before the wealthy Pamela had married handsome Jimmie Warren, and, in spite of an overwhelming love, their marriage had palled. Pat is shocked to learn that her father has lost his fortune. Aunt Pam suggests that Pat insure her father’s and her own future by marrying the wealthy, middle-aged Harvey Blaine, warning that the glamour of love wears off. Pat goes to an isolated spot, alone, to solve her problem, where she meets a handsome young man who only reveals his first name—Jack. He tells her of his plantation, "Eagle’s Nest”, where he hopes to go some day with the “right” girl. A strange peace envelops Pat in Jack's company and she wishes the witchery of the moment might continue forever, but—thoughts of her father’s financial predicament break the spell. Jack, too, is fascinated by Pat and can hardly resist embracing her. CHAPTER FIVE Sharply it came to her that in their three hours together he had told her nothing definite about himself. He was not going to tell her. Aware all at once of the instinctive fear of the unknown, she turned swiftly through the jungle path to her car. “Goodbye, Jack,” she said as she stepped on the gas. “It’s been fun. I’ll never forget being once a tramp by the side of the road." His aloofness was swept away. “But there’s going to be more than once! Isn’t there? You said I might come over this evening? Or I thought you did. You told me your hotel. You aren’t going without telling me your full name! You meant it when you said I might, didn’t you?” His words rushed out. “Yes, I meant it—then; but we’re no longer tramps by the side of the road. It was just a lovely dreamtime. Things are different—in real life. And we’ve—l’ve come awake. When one is awake one knows that duties erase dreams. Goodbye, Jack. Oh, I loved it all.” He stood where she left him, still as bronze. ... As one would say; “She’s dead”—he said, “She's married.” Motor roaring. Passing car after car. . . . He wanted to kiss me terribly, thought Patricia. And 1 wanted hirty to. . . . It’s the first time 1 ever wanted a man to kiss me. ... Why didn’t he? Any other man I know .. . But he isn’t like any other man 1 know. . . . That then is what the girls mean when they talk about . . . thrills . . . such a cheap word. I never knew before what they meant . . . not really. ... Oh well. I’ve no time for dreaming. Aunt Pam said I must marry at once. And, of course, one couldn't say to a strange young man, “I’m poor and have a penniless old father who counts on me to save him. I’m looking for a home for us and the only one open to me is owned by an old of a horse-face—won’t you take us quickly? I’m sure I could love you if there were time to waste on these matters. . . .” Well, the Harvey Blaines don’t waste time over moonlight end sea lusic. . . . Besides, this man is a stranger. Even if he were ”» evitable match” . . . Perhaps she had merely imagined he liked her; or that he had meant

anything when he spoke of taking the right girl to his eagle’s nest with that strange look in his eyes—and again in the tent. . . . Because a man wants to kiss a girl —Oh, fool! I never speculated on what a man might mean before. But it takes time for those things to happen. Maybe he wouldn’t ever think of me in that way. And if he did — maybe he’s poor and we’d have to wait years and years. Only old things can rush into marriage with poor girls. “No time to waste” . . . “An old man” . . . “Homeless” . . . “Penniless,” sang her motor. Perhaps he’ll come over tonight anyway. He isn't easily turned aside. He showed that when 1 tried to freeze him on the beach. Perhaps it isn’t as bad as Aunt Pam thinks. I may not have to marry at all—anybody I’ll have the truth from Dadums before I do any desperate daughter stuff. • • • Mrs. James Darcy Warren, famed on two Continents for her exotic beauty, submitted herself to a big rocker on that side of the veranda girdled hotel which commanded a view of the driveway. Ben had reported that Patricia had not returned the car, and une a s y and disturbed, Pamela had come to the hotel immediately after lunch. She was not happy over what she had said to Patricia in the morning. Pat’s youth and beauty, given time, would put her in a position to choose for herself. But in view of her father’s pressing situation—ah, the pity of it . .. The Gulf Stream hzd withdrawn its cooling breath. The low land lay fallow in the heat. The older women were “resting” in their rooms; the men were on the links. Now and again young folk wandered away into a jungle-park on which the hotel gave at its back. A taxi swung into the driveway. Porters ran out and began snatching a multitude of bags bearing foreign labels. A woman in a sand enszmble, sand shoes and hat, fol-

lowed the porters up the broad ] steps. A medium sized woman of ( thirty or thirty-five, quiet, colorless in dress and manner, yet drawing , 1 the eye. Pamela, who scarcely ever noted j hotel arrivals, remarked her ap- , pearance in detail, wondering who ( she was: “Beautiful, without having any claim to beauty. Distinctive, ! yet not distinguished.” The woman disappeared in the wide entrance; but her image, like a passing whiff of perfume, remained. Harvey Blaine, looking like a ( mournful horse, came out, peering anxiously about, and joined Pamela to engage in bromidic conversation ' about the fine weather. Scarcely hearing him, speculating about the swift charm of the woman in sand, Pamela watched anxiously for Pa- ' i tricia. She saw Mr. Braithwait’s fall ( ■ form coming up the walk. His step was a little slow, his fine erectness drooped somewhat. Or so it seemed . to the disturbed woman. She wel- : corned him warmly; but was saved an uneasy explanation of Patricia’s i absence by the sound of flying foot--1 steps. i “Lunch over?” called Patricia from the walk. “I mean, has the ’ hotel lunched without me?” ! The fashionably garbed clothes--1 rack beside Pamela unfolded like I the snapping open of a jack-knife; i the long mournful countenance of Harvey Blaine beamed. : “Give an account of your absence, i young lady.” Accepting the chair i llaine offered him, Mr. Braithwait’s ■ gentle eyes regarded Patricia with mock sternness. I A proud man; determined, even : a little ruthless you would say at
