PRICE BOOSTS ON GOODS STIR FARMERS' IRE And There’s the Story of All the Shouting for Inflation. Bu Scripps-Hevarrl Xftcspapcr Alliance WASHINGTON, Oct. 4—Practically everything the farmers sell bring them more money now than a year ago. But, these prices, generally, are below what they were three months ago. This would not be so significant if it weren't for the fact that the prices of things farmers buy have increased steadily during those three months. This is the reason for the protest from farming sections in the mid-west and the south; that's why many southern and mid-western legislators are talking currency inflation, and that's why the department of agriculture is so deeply concerned. Secretary Henry A. Wallace has hopes that farm prices will regain, and pass, their late summer peak. In this lies the chance for success of a major portion of the Roosevelt recovery program. Figures Show Story The latest figures of the bureau of agricultural economics show, for instance, these facts regarding the two great American crops: COTTON—The price on the farm a year ago was 7-2 cents a pound. Last July, however, it was 10.6 cents a pound. On Sept. 15, it had dropped to 8.8 cents. WHEAT—The price at the farm on Sept. 15 was 71.1 cents a bushel. A year ago, when the Hoover farm board was breathing its last, the farm price of wheat was 37.4 cents a bushel, little more than half the present price. And yet, here, too, the present price is below that of July. In that month wheat sold for 86.9 cents a bushel. The bureau's announcement also makes clear how far farm prices are from that long-sought "parity” level —the prices of 1909 to 1914. Over that period, for instance, cotton averaged 12.4 cents a pound; thus to attain that the present price will have to be boosted upward 3.6 cents a pound, or about $lB a bale. Index Is Out of Line Wheat's average farm price over that five-year period was 88,4 cents a bushel, or 17.1 cents above the price current Sept. 15. Expressed in index figures, first love of economists, who fix 100 as the price over a certain representative period, and then compare present prices to that immutable number, it boils down to this; The index of farm prices on Sept. 17 was 70. On Aug. 15, it was 72; on July 15, it was 76, a drop of six points in three months. But when the low point was reached last February, the index stood at 49, and on Sept. 15. a year ago. it was 59. Now, the index of prices paid by farmers for the articles they buy was 116 on Sept. 15, compared with 112 on Aug. 15, and 107 on July 15, an increase of nine points in three months.

EVOLUTION BY HEAT IS PROVED POSSIBLE Germination Method Discovered by Soviet Biologists. By Science Service LONDON. Oct. 4.—Evolution by jumps, or mutation, can be brought about not only by the action of radium and X-rays upon seeds and eggs, but also by the prolonged exposure of seeds to high temperature. Professor M. Navashin, together with P. Shkvarnikov of the Timiriazev biological institute in Moscow. describe in the British periodical Nature how seeds were inclosed in a closed bottle, kept for twenty days or more at a temperature of 131 degrees Fahrenheit and afterward allowed to germinate. Most of the seedlings produced were abnormal, the development of both roots and leaves being affected. and many did not survive. A considerable number of the surviving young plants displayed various abnormalities of leaf shape. A microscopic examination of the tips showed that the chromosomes—minute rodlike bodies believed to be responsible for the inheritance of characters in both plants and animals—had been disarranged badly from their normal positions. SALE OF FOUL-ODORED DRUG IS RESTRICTED Offensive Smell Necessitates Ban on Valerian Output. B.'> Science Service NEY YORK. Oct. 4.—Valerian, once a popular medicine that won the public confidence chiefly because of its bad taste and strong odor, now may be sold here only under resrictions as rigid and strict as those applying to the narcotic drugs. This is not because valerian is a dangerous popularity as a remedy has now mode it a public nuisance. Valerian, once the chief constituent of ‘'female tonics” and remedies for nervous and hysterical disorders, has come to be the chief constituent of -stink bombs.” , The American Medical Association comments on the situation as follows: "The control of valerian is not induced by its medical uses, but is instead to be a curb on racketeering. a system for making easy money, which may be said to be one of the prime developments of the last quarter century in which ‘stink bombs' constitute a significant part of the materia racketeeria.” OREGON'S PEAR CROP TAKES BIG DECREASE Yield Is Cut by Agreement of Northwest Growers.

By United Press JOLIET, 111., Oct. 4.—Warden Frank D. Whipp of the Illinois state penitentiary ordered an extensive search of all cells today, expecting to find—not bombs—but booze. The astonishing revelation that convicts in the prison, including the notorious Richard Loeb and Nathan Leopold, are whiling the long hours away with intoxicants came yesterday. Captain Thomas Nelson was making the rounds. To him floated the strains of “Over There.” The hilarity. Nelson found, was in George Sullivan's cell. Joining in the “party” was Leopold. Loeb was standing at the door. Sullivan and a fourth man identified only as Scott were so drunk, Nelson said, guards had to carry them to solitary confinement. Leopold, he said, had been drinking, but was not intoxicated. Loeb denied complicity.

Sweet Thing Candy Sales Are on Rise, Records Reveal.

By Scripps-Hoicard Xeirspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.—Some people measure better times in freight car loadings, in steel orders. in department store sales, in the complicated indices of business. Others take simpler indicatioss. Candy, for instance. "Sales by manufacturing wholesalers of all types of confectionery were 19 per cent larger in value in August, 1933, than sales during August, 1932," according to figures made available at the department of commerce. This means Sonny spent a penny for a lolly-pop; that sister's beau brought her a box of candy; that ma and pa satisfied their sweet tooth. Qandy is a luxury; people wouldn't be buying more unless they had more money to spend. BIG INCREASE SHOWN IN WALNUT EXPORTS 70,000 Bags Shipped by California to Europe; 900 Last Year.

Chicken Dinners, Winding Trails Among Many Attractions. BY STURGE WELLS Times Automobile Editor Ever since inaugurating these Sunday automobile tours, each week has brought forth the same question from some thoughtful soul—- " Why don't you drive down to Turkey Run state park?” Arranging a party of four, all desiring to spend the day in the "great open spaces,” hiking and riding, four of us donned our riding habits, such as they were, and set forth early Sunday morning. At least it seemed early to me! Driving an Essex Terraplane Eight de luxe sedan, thanks to R. L. Losey, Hudson-Essex distributor, who had done quite an excellent job of arousing my curiosity by constantly telliing me what a "fine sensation” one gets Terraplaning—a Terreplaning we did go. However, that comes later! Road 36 Is Best For the benefit of those Sunday drivers who are a bit “rusty” on the best route to take to Turkey Run, we recommend taking State Road 36 out of Indianapolis through Danville to Rockville and turning north on Route 41, which leads directly to the entrance of the park. The other way is by taking Road 34 out of Indianapolis through Jamestown and Crawfordsville to Route 41, taking it south to the entrance of the park. However, this route is longer and the roads are not in as good condition for highspeed driving. Arriving at the park, we made immediately for the inn, which bears the same name as the park, and arranged to have four of the “slowest” horses in readiness for our contemplated two-hour jaunt. Dinners Are Excellent Much to my chagrin, and I speak from actual experience, this “twohour riding idea” probably was the most fatal mistake of the day for me—not even having held a horse's bridle since “the good old days” back on the farm! The dinners at the inn, a modern steam-heated hotel boasting of 118 rooms and surrounded by large forest trees and well-kept lawns—are par excellent, especially the chicken dinners, which are billed on the menu as the “piece de resistance.” Accompanied by Ora Sample, who owns and rents the saddle horses at the park, we started out on five of his prize “nags” to take in the sights of one of the more popular riding trails. Winding in and out of heavilytimbered woodlands, fields thick with goldenrod and tall sedge grass, along the brink of deep ravines and the banks of Sugar creek, this trail offers a vast variety of beauty and color at every turn. Park covers 1,230 Acres There are a great many outstanding scenic attractions at Turkey Run state park, located near Marshall in northern Parke county, where the waters of Turkey Run and Sugar creek meet. Chief among these are Rocky Hollows, Gipsy and Newby Gulches, and the fine old home of Solmon Lusk, original owner of this 1.230-acre tract of park lands. V Here one sees a conglomeration of heavy timber, flowers, abundance of moss, ferns and clinging vines, some of which are so protected that within their depths temperatures vary only slightly, it is said. In order fully to appreciate the many scenic beauties and georgaphical oddities at Turkey Run, one must roam among them and see them in the living, for mere words adequately can not describe them regardless of how apt one is at description! % Essex Is Easy Riding Possibly the best way to accomplish this to my way of thinking, is astride one of Guide Sample's horses, leaving the rest up to him, as he seems to know about every foot of land there, due to the many hours and days of constantly making the rounds over these old trails and mapping out new ones. While there is a lot of difference between riding a horse with an easy gait, and driving a modern automobile, in our case much of the pleasure of the day's sport was in Terraplaning. The new Essex Terraplane 8 gives one the feeling that he merely is gliding along. Distributor Losey claims this is due to thee car's lightness, brought about through its construction of lighter, yet stronger and more durable materials. Whatever the reason, after driving approximately two hundred miles irv a Terraplane 8. I. for one, can vouch for its smoothness of riding. quick acceleration and ease of driving RETURN OF KAISER TO THRONE IS PREDICTED By United Press MONTREAL. Oct. C.—The return of a Hohenzollern kaiser to the German throne within the next few years is predicted by R. Henschel, son of the largest locomotive manufacturer in Germany. Interviewed on his arrival here. Henschel said that there is a strong movement, particularly among German youth, for the restoration of the monarchy. *

Comedy Code Drafted by Rotary in Farce Session

Club Decides New Officers Can Operate Without Aid of NRA. In addition to holding the annual election of directors the Rotary Club last night drafted its own NRA code, to be applied to its weekly luncheons. However, just as the “code” was to be ratified, a list of the new directors was brought in, and it was decided things would be so much better under the new regime that a code would not be needed. The new directors are Arthur C. Burrell, Hal E Howe, Luther L. Dickerson, William M. Zeller, Ray E. Siebert, Walker W. Winslow and Roy Sahm. They will succeed Harry W. Hobbs, J. Harry Green. Henry Holt, Isaac R. Holycross, Chic Jackson, Herbert S. King and Curtis H. Rottger. The “NRA Code” was formulated during a satirical stage presentation written by Mr. Dickerson, which centered around Mr. Zeller in the role of General Hugh S. Johnson. It was the unanimous opinion that NRA stands for a No-More Ruddell Administration, Mr. Ruddell being the incumbent president. The austerity of the “General Johnson” conference was interrupted at frequent intervals by a bevy of dancing girls and a girl orchestra. This talent was produced by Henry K. Burton.
