Percy S. Straus, president of R. H. Macy and company, asailed a pro- posal to write into the code a pro- vision to regulate prices. B. H. Namm, representing 14 other large New York department stores, de- manded the price-fixing clause as a means of preventing stores from ad- vertising that they generally under- sold competititors. Straus said that “if retail trade groups can fix prices at net invoice | cost plus 10 per cent, then they may logically raise the. margin to 15 per! cent, 25 per cent, or even higher per- centages.” “The adoption of such a principle,” he said, “will not increase consump- tion nor build purchasing power; it will choke the free flow of commerce and shrink volume. Price-fixing agree- ments between manufacturers and retailers have heretofore been held il- legal.” Must Have Security Namm said retail establishments must be given security against unfair competition and a chance to make a fair profit ff they were to join in the| Blue Eagle campaign. He said the stores he represented welcomed higher wages and shorter hours for their employes but that steps must be taken to curb price cutting and ad- vertising claims of underselling com- petitors. He urged approval of the trade practice section of the code which, among other things, specifically for- bids misleading advertising. “From New York to Main street.” he said, “the question of false ad- vertising is of vital concern to all merchants and consumers.” He asserted that this method of ad- vertising broke down the confidence of the public and increased the cost of advertising to dealers, Deputy Administrator A. D. White- side said the recovery administration ; was willing to approve fair practice sections in codes if they were found to be equitable. Wholesale Prices on Decline Past Week Washington, Aug. 24.—(4)—Further declines in the average price of farm Products and foods pushed downward Slightly the labor department’s gen- eral level of wholesale price indexes for the week ended August 19. The department said Thursday the weighted index of 784 commodities stood at 69.3 for that as compared with 69.4 during the preceding Week. Average 1926 prices were taken as 100. “The decline was due in the main to further recessions in the average prices of farm products and foods and recent decréases in hides and leather products,” the department said. “The gain of more than 1% per cent in textile products was not sufficient to maintain the. general price level.” Farm products dropped a full point in the week ended August 19, from 58.5 to 57.5, while foods declined from 64.9 to 64.4. Flow of Porkers to Market Is Unabated St. Paul, Aug. 24—()—Seventeen thousand pigs came to the South St. Paul market under the federal emer- gency buying plan Thursday as Gov- ernor Floyd B. Olson protested to Sec- retary Wallace against what he term- ed price unfairness to that livestock center. Two hundred sows arrived also. Governor Olson told Secretary Wal- lace the price of 40 cents per hund- redweight below the amount paid at Chicago was too great in view of a difference of 17 to 19 cents in the cost of hauling between the two markets. South St. Paul livestock interests and representatives of farmers or- ganizations previously made similar protests. They said A. G. Black of ‘tthe federal corn and hog division of whom he married in 1930. Children Are Not Chicago, Aug. 24.—()—On the emphatic order of a judge, eight- month-old Elaine Shopkus Thursday was rpleased from a hospital that had held her since birth to secure payment of a board bill and incubator fee. A nurse placed the child, sleeping peacefully, in the arms of her father, Stanley Shopkus, 22, in Judge Joseph B. David's courtroom. The judge ‘ordered Shopkus to pay “not once cent of the hospital’s bill.” “My wife died in the Evangeli- cal hospital the day after Elaine was born prematurely,” Shopkus testified. “I paid $11 for my wife's care and left the baby in Says in Ruling on Hospital’s Act John Ringling, circus magnate, himself will hold the center ring in court at Sarasota, Fla., where he has filed suit for divorce, charging “mental cruelty and ungovernabje temper” against Mrs. Ringling, The couple are. shown above.

They've kept her there ever since and the bill has mounted to $260.” Shopkus denied an allegation by G. A. Kienle, superintendent of the hospital, that he had re- ceived considerable money from his wife's estate. “There are a lot of worthy hos- pitals, but there are a lot of*oth- ers that ought to be put out of business,” the judge declared as he signed the order. “Human be- ings can’t be held as chattels; that’s final.” Guard Oil Scion From: Kidnapers | Guy Waggoner, 50, above, son of W.

Bates is accused of kidnaping and many other sensational crimes, but indications are that he will be tried in Boulder, Colo., for bank robbery. the agriculture department indicated in-a reply that the differential would be considered.

TARIFF ARGUMENT Await Return of French Repre- sentative From Important Paris Conference London, Aug. 24.—(?)—Paul Devi- nant, French representative at the in- ternational wheat conference, left for Paris Thursday to consult his govern- ment concerning the controversy over wheat prices and tariffs. The conference held its session without him and adjourned until to- morrow morning with no agreement effected to cope with the wheat glut by an international agreement to re- duce production and stimulate con- sumption, His departure took on added sig- nificance ‘from the fact that in con- ference circles it was believed other importing nations probably wouldabide ty any decision France might make. The conference is attempting to es- tabish just how high the price of wheat must go before importing coun- tries will undertake to reduce their wheat tariff barsiers, The exporting nations—the princi- pal ones being the United States, Canada, Australia and Argentina — have asked the importers to cut tar- iffs once wheat has remained for four months at 11.47 pre-war gold French francs per puintal. (This is the equivalent of 60 gold U. S. cents per bushel, or 82 U. 8. cents at the present exchange rate). The importers are asking between 12.5 and 13 francs (between 66 and 69 gold U. S. cents per bushel, or between 90 and 95 U. 8. cents at present ex- change). Despite the difference of opinion, predictions of success in the effort to echieve an international agreement came from conference headquarters, Prizes Are Awarded In Garden Contest Premiums were awarded Wednes- day for the best three gardens entered in the Burleigh county garden contest. The five best gardens in the contest were selected by a committee repre- @nting 300 contestants. The best Unree of the five were judged by a committee consisting of County Agent H. O. Putnam, Commissioner of Agri- culture and Labor, John Husby and Worth Lumry. Winners of prizes for the best gar- dens and the premiums awarded were as follows: First prize—George Boelter, 1014 10th street, $10 worth of merchandise donated by the A. W. Lucas Co, Second prize—Same Meske, 1714 Bowen, Ave., $7.50 in merchaindise, donated by Montgomery-Ward and Co. Third prize—Mrs. Matt Pillen, 219 Bowen Ave. $7.50 in merchandise, donated by the J. C. Penney Co, John Nord, 405 17th street and F. P. White, 221 South Sixth street, were owners the other two gardens selected by the committee repersenting the contestants.

The boys will be divided into two groups after assembling at scout headquarters, but will meet later for games, dinner, adventures and to meet some of the scout officials of this dis- trict.
