Washington. Deo s.—(Special.)—A
-lit improvement i tlio general ag
i(cultural situation is indicated in the
monthly .agricultural review issued by
the United States Department of Ag
i fiiltuie. I’rices of cotton, grain and
I.restock products as well as prices of
the thins# farmers have to buy, have
slowly tisen. The general price level?
m f been mavirg slowly upward, with
some farm products making a mod' r
ate recovery.
"This has put a little money into ,
'i1 po, ]., ts of some farmer- put heart ,
...to many more, and has done both for
hose who carry farm products,
through these channels," says the re
\ lew.
The October index of prices received
nt the farm for 1* farm products is
placed nt lit) an a compared with 100
ii 1913. The- index of wholesale prices
of commodities that tlie farmer buys,
other than food products, is placed nt
:•,!*. Thus, farm products will pur
ehn.se tv, pec cent as much of other
commodities ns in 1913. This Is an
improvement. of 1 point sinro August ]
ami September. but is 1 points lower
tli.in July. The review summarize#]
■ auditions In various sections of the
'•untry as follows:
lin'd In 1’iHir Shape.
In the east, agricultural conditions ;
.re in relatively p >or shape. Some
poultrynien are doing fairly well but
most dairymen ate having all they can
'o to bre.iK even. Potato, apple, hay ,
and truck glowers are thoroughly dis
ouraged. *
The cotton belt shows the best g< .
real recovery of any region as a whole.
Tlie crop is very poor In many areas,
hit men who have any cotton to pen
I c| good at the prices. General busi
ness ins been much stimulated.
In tluj corn belt, growers arc Same- j
what encouraged at the rise In grain
prices. A heavy full run of hogs lo
i.nrket, as well as heavy movement
' ' cattle and sheep to farm# is report
id. Winter grain shows good stands.
Had weather and muddy roads arc ]
hampering fall work.
Cars are Needed.
In the wheat belt, shippers have |
Pern handicapped by an almost unpre- i
■ edentod shortage of freight ears. He- i
pints last week indicated that 400 ele
vators In Kansas were, closed for lack
of cars. Winter wlieut stands gen
• rally are reported fairly good.
Tn the iange country, rain and enow
have Improved range conditions, but
severe weather hns somewhat, pinched
stock. Sheepmen are feeling fairly
good at sheep, lamb, and wool prices.
The outlook for next year is generally
considered favorable.
Shippers on the Pacific coast have
teen b.tmpered by car shortage. Ap
ple growers have been hard hit by
tow prices in eastern markets. In gen
eral, hi wever, fruit and livestock in
terests show fairly good return# for
the year and considerable optimism.
F'iguree compiled by the department
during November Indicate that an ab
normal movement of population from
farms to towns Is taking place.
“Wife Hired Man
to Kill Spouse'’
—
Detroit Sleuth# Charge Wo-'
man Offered Gunman
$20,000 for “Job.”
Detroit, Mich.. Dec. 8.—Mrs. May i
Blenn Ford solicited the services of '
a. gunman to kill her wealthy husband. !
Ney J. Ford. offered the gunman 520.
000 for the "Job.” and gave him a
photograph of her husband to make
sure the right man was slain, accord
ing to the sworn statements of four
detectives whose Investigation result
'd in Mrs Ford's detention today on a
charge of attempting to commit mur
der.
Denying the charge. Mrs. Ford de
clared she was the victim of "a frame
up” that grew out of her domestic dif
ficulties. These difficulties include a
suit for divorce tiled last August in
which she chargee cruelty and a suit
asking 525,000 damages of her
estranged husband for alleged assault.
Mrs. Ford was arrested last night,
when, it is alleged, she was about to
meet Edward Kttnath. a detective
lieutenant for a second conference on
her reported plans for the slaying of
her husband. Kunath, It was said,
was presented as "a Kansas City gun
man.” Wednesday night when the al
leged plot was first revealed by Mrs.
Ford.
The first meeting according to the
detectives, took place in an npart
tuent, especially rented for that pur
pose. Three detectives claimed to
have overheard the conversation.
Several plans for the killing were
presented by Mrs. Ford, the officers
declared.
Common Sense
Remember You’ll Be Old Yourself.
>fot enough respect is. paid to old
age
We are not kind enough not toler
ant enough with the weak and in
llrm
We art annoyed at the alow-moving
person who checks our speed when
wo get on or off a car or train.
We are exasperated when an elder
ly person holds us up at the ticket
office window because fading eyesight
i akes counting change a slow pro
i ess.
We aic displeased when a middle
_ed or older person sitting in a seat
with us moves about frequently be
cause one position soon tires him.
The diacourteous treatment given
elderly people by the majority of per
sons is surprising and distressing.
We are all going toward that age
v hen younger generations will hax e
is much cause to b» annoyed by our
ctlons as we h've to be annoyed by
the actions of old reople today.
Why not more sympathy and kind
ness shown toward the elderly?
Ferbaps they have but few more
•-ears to llvg and why should not
those who are of younger years make
the time as happy and comfortable
as possible?

upon.” said Lovett.
Regarding the ability of the Central
