sents what hogs have to bring in order to give them the pre-war purchasing power with respect to prices of commodities farmers buy. Largely because of a lack of balance between <upply and demand, hog prices since the World War have averaged the fair exchange value only in one year (1926) when it happened that the size of the hog crop was considerably decreased. In 1932 the farm price of hogs averaged only $3.47 per hundredweight, but

CrHHIC

the crop was traded for a pig. which ate the balance and grew i into a hog. The hog was traded for | a calf, which was bartered for a pair of colts. Burris now has a dandy team of horses which cost him tlie nickel. o Sixth Yuletide i:> Jail Ijongmont, Colo. — (U.R) —Albert Luccia, alias Joe Martinez, has set up what police believe to be the all-time record fob number of Christmases spent in jail — last year, when Lucr-ia was jailed for 'intoxication it marked the sixth 'yuletide straight he had spent behind bars. Luccia. who was jailed | Christmas Day told officers he was 18. and admitted he had started drinking "when very young.”

as the prices of commodities farmers buy averaged a little higher than their pre-war level, the fair exchange value in 1932 was proportionately higher, or $7.76 per hundredweight. The disparity, therefore, was $4.28 per hundredweight. Adjustment of hog production under the Agricultural Adjustment Act In 1934 will help wipe out this disparity and again restore hog prices to the fair exchange value.
