Agricultural market reports by ra
diophone is the latest innovation an
nounced by the bureau of markets,
United States department of agricul
ture. This service will be launch
ed experimentally at East Pittsburg
this week, and with the necessary ra
diophone apparatus, farmers and oth
ers within a few hundred miles of
Pittsburg will be able to learn agri
cultural market conditions and prices
immediately after the close of the
markets. The reports are to be sent
from the radio stattion KDKA over
a wave length of 330 meters.
The department's experimental ra
diophone service follows shortly the
inauguration of sending agricultural
market reports by wireless. Daiiy
radio market reports are now being
dispatched from Omaha, St. Louis,
Washington, and Bellefonte, Pa., and
received by wireless operators in 22
central and eastern states who imme
diately relay the news to farmers,
shipping associations, distributors of
farm products and others.
Although in existence but a short
time the department is receiving
many gratifying reports regarding the
usefulness of this service, and mar
keting organizations everywhere are
not only watching the work with keen
interest, but are arranging as rapid
ly as possible to utilize the service.
lending the reports by radiophone
wojLj greatly simplify their receipt
by farmers, and "thtrs direct. iD as
much as the operation of a radiophone
set does not require a knowledge of
wireless codes. Instead of coming
in dots and dashes the market news
would be received in English, the
same as conversation over an ordin
ary telephone. At present those de
siring the radio market reports must
make arrangements with local exper-
fenced wireless operators to receive
and relay the messages to them.

$2.00 is now selling for $1.50. Tires
that were selling in 1920 for $40.10
are now priced as low as 325.55.
An inquiry into grocery prices for
the present time as compared with the
prices a year and a year and a halt
ago shows a very decided cut in the
high cost of living. Beans have turn
bled from 9c to 4V2c; rice from 12M.C
to 6c; sugar from $25.00 to $8.75; po
tatoes from $2.50 to $1.3'? per hun
dred; eggs which a year ago were

and found that standard advertised
clothing lines which sold at high
prices from $70.00 to $75.00 are now
on the regular market at $45.00 to $50.
Prices of other lines of clothing have
dropped from $50.00 and $55.00 to $40
and $35 and even less. A standard

are now priced at $7.50. Overalls.
which less than a year ago were sel-
ing at $3.50 are now priced at $1.85.
While many articles are still found
to be selling at the same price they
were right after the war, in many in
stances these are found to be goods
which did not raise in price during
war times. Many other articles the
investigation showed have not been
cut in price to the retailer. The in
vestigating committee found that in
practically all cases where a substan
tial cut in price had been made by
the wholsaler the Oregon City retail
merchants have passed on this bene
fit impartially to the consumer. Al.
together it seems the cost of living
is keeping an even pace with wages

The reader was Mrs. M. D. Latour
ette A3 the club is making a study
of the history 01 music in JfTances,
Mrs. Latourette's subject was "For
eign Influence," which was in part as
follows:
"Frederic Francois Chopin was born
near Warsaw, Poland, His father,
Nvchols Chopin, "was a French
refugee, the natural son cf a Polish
nobleman, who accomianied King
Stanislaus to France, taking there the
name Chopin. Nicholas Chopin was
born in Nancy, Lorraine, and went to
Poland in 1787 durin gthe political dis
turbance. He became a teacher there
and married a Polish woman of poor
but noble family.
"His fondness for music early assert
ed itself and his parents wisely let him
have his way, procuring the best oi
teaciiers for him. At the age of nine
he played in a concert and from that
time on was made much cf by the
Polish people. He composed his first
piece of music at age of ten. After
iinishing his studies at the Warsaw
Conservatory, his father decided it
would be well for him to see some
thing of the world. He visiter Berlin,
Vienna, and later started for Paris
reaching, there in 1831. In Paris
Chopin's artistic career may be said
to have begun, and there ne spent his
happiest as well as his most miserable
days. Gave first concert in Paris 1832,
but it was a failure financially. A
second concert a little later met with j
the same success, and h was badly
in need of funds, this made him very
dejected. By chance he met Prince
Radzewell who -introduced him to the
Rothschilds, who at once found him
paying pupils, and his fortune turned.
After this Chopin's playing became
the rage and he even threatend Liszt's
popularity.
Chopin was the greatest genius of
the piano who has ever lived, one of
the most lovable, interesting and ro
mantic figures' in the history of music.
His life was brief but full of incident
and his service to the art "of music
cannot be too highly estimated."
Refreshments were served during
the afternoon.
Attending were Mrs. J. W. Moffat,
Mrs. William Andresen, Mrs. C. O. T
Williams, Mrs. Matilda charman, Mrs.
