(WASHINO- TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL. Wesrn senators are In decided dls agreement with the vtawa expressed by Uanuglntr Director Eugene Meyer of the War Finance corporation concerning 1 the return of prosperity to Western agri culture, partlculaly the sheep and stock men. Senator McNary declared that the contrary la show by the demand for a price guarantee coming from many farming sections and expressed the view that this agitation would subside if the War Finance -corporation would act more liberally In aiding farmers to plant and harvest tbelr crops.' Henator EtanfleWf said that while con ditions are Improving, he is far from agreeing with Meyer that satisfactory prices are now being realised. "Prices cannot be satisfactory when they are below, the coat of production. not only below the costs at which stock on hand was .produced, but below the present cents. Of all the products men tioned by Mr, Meyer, corn, hogs, csttle. , sheep, hides and grain, not one Is- up to the cost of production except fat lambs ready for slaughter. In which there Is now a slight profit, and possibly In corn, but not in corn pn the basis . -of the coat at which U was produced. From Oeorge A. Mansfield, president ef the Oregon state farm bureau, comet a vigorous letter assailing the conduct fit the War Finance corporation as ad , mlntflered by Mr; Meyerr Mansfield says that conditions around Klamath Falls have been "fearful." and that It a touching to see the way the sheep men of Morrow county and Eastern Ore gon are trying to hang on without money or credit. "We foolishly hoped that the War r inance corporation was organised, to give us relief In those caaeji in wh Itie strict rules of banking preven our securing ' relief." said Mansfield's letter, "but we find that In practical operation they require the same strict rules. They only do the farmer up In a package and deliver him back into the hands of the money lender. "I am sending a copy of. my letter to you to alt the senators who ae known to be In sympathy with the alms of the agricultural btoc. and I hope that you and they will pardon the plain speaking In this letter. If you could be on the ground and see as I dp the .. distress among these people, I am sure that you would feel willing to try to bring such pressure to bear as would have these matters administered In way to afford real relief." Meyer in his statement a few days ago aald that sheep are selling prices considered satisfactory to growers and feeders," that the cattle market I no longer demoralised, but that feeding and fattening Is going forward with fairly satisfactory returns," and that . "there is a broad market for wool and . bides at good prices." " Food which they gathered from the garbage dumps at the city, garbage In cinerator near Guild's lake , served them fnr as the onlr means to satisfy their hunger, according to the atories told Patrolmen Pat Keegan and Taylor by Walter Swensen, 10, and Louis Desire, 74, who were arrested at their Impro vised home beneath an Inclined ap proach to the Guild's lake gravel pit 1 They appeared In municipal court Mon day afternoon on charges of vagrancy. Desire, who was stele rrom ms meagre and unwholesome fare, was held for the county board of relief. Swensen agreed to leave the city, and was .discharged ' Judge Bo man. . The police told about finding the crude shelter, in which '8weneen had ragged a broken .bed spring from the refuse dump.- On this the two men had made a bed of old gunny sacks. A mouldy loaf of bread lay on the ground one corner, near two tins of jam which had' been discarded due to breakage in shipment. A half-empty can tomatoes, soured, after being open several days, comprised the remainder f their commissary. 'How lona has it been since you washed your face?" Keegan declared he atked Swensen.' "Well, I loaned a cake of soap to a fellow here seven ' days ago, and he never brought It back," the boy replied. "We get enofgh ' to eat here in the dump when lis dry, but when it rains vre have to go hungry. The rain spoils ite bread and washes the other stuff away. Questioning revealed that Desire is not a citizen. He will probably be turned over to the immigration authori ties for deportation as an undesirable clttsen. He said the only relative he had is a brother somewhere in France ': Am s FEATURE SHOWING OFPEGGYIGE DRESSES flf Take Your:Discbunt in Glenwpod Butter 82c Model Grocery 4th Floor No deliveries except"with other purchases made in the grocery departments' Best.
