Charles W. Armour, head of the Armour interests in Kansas City, Friday said he believed food prices had reached their climax and are now on tfie down grade. “General food prices are working toward a lower basis,” he said. “The cereals are getting down. People are going to take advantage of lower prices, and that will have a tendency to relieve the stringency in meat prices, especially pork.” > The barn at the Holstein breeding farm of the Van Camp Packing company, two miles north of Martinsville, was destroyed by fire Thursday, lightning setting the place ablaze.
