ocal GRAIN QUOTATIONS WAGNER'S GRAIN LETTER CHICAGO. Aug. 1. Many local figure that corn and oats have Been their highs tor some weeks; they don't expect much more than a liberal bulge, they say that labor irritation Is too profound, that the cost of living demands attention. The Inglls corn report was regarded as totally out of place. It Is more of a guess or warning and cannot be accepted as an estimate. Washington hints that food leaders may be trying to bring about cheaper wheat. Removal of the hot and dry weather may be weighed on bulges. CHICAGO GnAIN RANGE Furnished by E. W. WAGNER A.

Hog, Once Reviled, Now 1 00,000,000 Strong, One of Uncle Sam's Greatest Agricultural Assets; Worst Enemy is Hog Cholera

Some American Pigs in Their Native Haunts WASHINGTON, Aug. 1. The American hog has come into his own, and though he has not yet found a place in the parlor, he is regarded with more favor than ever he was in the past. He is a national asset of the first importance. In this country are more than onethird of all the pigs in the world. There were 70,000,000 of them in January. Today there are probably 100,000,000 say one for every man, woman and child in the United States. The great enemy of the pig is "hog cholera," which kills from 60 to 100 per cent of the animals attacked. It

HIGH PRICES WILL REMAIN, REPORT OF U. S, BOARD SHOWS (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Aug. 1. No relief from present high prices is forecast in the federal reserve board's monthly review of business conditions issued today which notes that July saw increases ininany lines. "In general'' the review said, "there is a disposition to accept present prices levels and to expect a continuation of the prevailing level for some time to come." In many districts high prices have not served to check demand, but the possibility of obtaining goods was found to be of greater moment to the buyer than the price fixed. On the other hand, the board said, the "very great" price increases which have taken place in certain lines have made buyers more cautious, care being taken not to increase unduly stocks acquired at the present price level for fear a decline might occur. Continued high prices, along with constant growth in trade, both wholesale and retail trade and Increased activity in some of the basis industries, sustained confidence in the in 11 We also want Will Pay 1.65 Paying $2.05 a bushel for

from a diseased animal until its own blood is heavily "loaded" with the germs. A pig that has been immunized is not in the least affected by doses of viris 100,000 times as large as would suffice to kill an ordinary hog. A quantity of blood from the pig thus treated is then obtained by cutting off the end of its tail and drawing off the vital fluid with a vac-

i uum apparatus. The wound is then dustrial situation and led to expansion in many lines. Almost the only complaints heard concern shortage of raw materials and. in a few districts labor troubles, although a majority of the districts report normal labor conditions. Instead of a fear of unemployment which had been expressed during the early part of the year" the board said, "the reports received manifest the fear of an impending shortage of labor." The exodus of alien workers was blamed in part. The agricultural outlook on the whole was reported favorable with indications that the cotton crop would be much shorter than previously indicated. Manufacturing continues active, marked advances in prices having occurred in cotton goods, with many mills oversold. Export orders were said to be large. Raw wool is in heavy demand and revival in building has continued. Turning to the financial situation the board declared that while speculation continued at an unpre.cedentedly high level, an Investment demand for stocks has revealed itself, leading to the withdrawal of an unusual amount of shares from the market. The banking situation was reported sound, credit and collection conditions good and failures small and few. Read Palladium Want Ads.

But the immunity thus produced lasts only from three weeks to two months. Permanent immunity is obtained by injecting at the same time a little viris five to twenty-five teaspoonfuls of serum, and simultaneously one-fourth to one-half a teaspoonful of blood from a cholera-sick hog, depending upon the size of the animal. That pig can never thereafter have the cholera. The viris would certainly kill the beast if the serum were not simultaneously given. During the present year more than 500,000 quarts of the serum will be manufactured in this country by commercial concerns (under government supervision) for tale to farmers. Thus farmers can now raise hogs without fear of having their investment wiped out within a few hours or days by the plague.

Wool Market Less Active In U. 5. In Last Week (Bv Associated Press) BOSTON, Aug. 1. The Commercial Bulletin of Boston tomorrow will say: "The wool market has been less active this week many of the manufacturers being away for a vacation, hav ing already covered their needs fairly well. Such sales as have been made, however, still continued strength and even a rising tendency on certain classes."

i HAYS TO (Continued from Page One) Ject and what do you propose to substitute in its place? It is not enough to oppose the present law, eince the state must be supported by taxation and some law must be enforced. W have a right, theefore. to know what you are going to do about it. "In short, we say again to our Democratic friends : We have acted In thi tax matter Just as your own party promised to do if entrusted with power and just as your own tax commlssion and your own governor urged should be done, but which you lacked the courage to do, notwithstanding the fact that your own commission referred to the existing tax law as a 'legalized system of robbing the amall property owner.' Have Done Best "We have done the best we conld under the existing constitution. We do not claim that this is a perfect law. Experience will show the weak places. Neither do we claim that it has been perfectly administered by human beings and to err is human. The Divine only is perfect The Commission has had an enormous work to do assess for the four-year period all the real estate in Indiana, put in force a new tax law and conduct a campaign of education among the local boards In order to make them familiar with th new law. It is inevitable that mistakes should be made. "It is likewise inevitable that all property will not be put on the duplicate in Indiana this year at its true cash value, but it is clear that the outrageous conditions portrayed in the report of the Ralston Special Tar Commission will not continue after this year's assessments are made and that the present law is more equitable in its application than the former law. "The present tax law does not undertake to provide new sources of revenue, nor does it present any addition al ways of raising taxes. By the limitations of our constitution we are confined largely to what is known as a general property tax. The present tax law Is intended to place on the duplicate all property at its fair cash value. The result obtained so far most clearly indicates that it is a vast improvement over the former law. Three Times Former Value. "The coming duplicate will approximate six and one-half billion dollars or nearly three times the former assessed value with a corresDondin re duction in the tax rate. All property discovered for taxation is more nearly assessed at. its true value than ever before and under the law now In force the burdens of taxation will be more equitably distributed than was possible under the old law. "The new law lays no additional burdens on the people. It simply proposes to distribute the existing burden in proportion to the property owned. It says to everyone: '' 'You must list your property at its true value,' a proposition so fair that no one will be heard to object to it. In its administration, if defects appear, they will be corrected in a constructive and not in a destructive way. "Of course some persons and corporations will pay more taxes under the new law than the same persons and corporations paid under the old law. This is inevitable if inequalities are to be removed. Other persons and other corporations, however, will pay less. T believe the present board has the courage to enforce the law impartially against all persons; to put all the property of the state on the tax duplicate at its true cash value so far as the board is able to reach it and discover its value.
