Charge Market Fixing Sparks Senate Hearing and Grain Prices Swing
Rising grain costs and selling pressure offset gains as testimonies before the Senate Committee accuse professional speculators of market manipulation. J T Saunders of the National Grange claims a well informed insider group moves markets to the detriment of ordinary traders while other witnesses deny collusion. Prices in grain and cotton futures drift lower or mixed as stock trading remains cautious. Changes in food prices appear in retailer chains with mixed meat and staple item cuts across Safeway and National stores, while bread and flour see notable reductions. See MARKET Page 3.

Keeper of the Owls Receives One Dozen Sky-Hooks
Bowen Cox, county purchasing agent, is named Keeper of the Owls as six white two faced owls arrive from Starling Pest Control. Six brown owls will be mounted in courthouse trees to deter roosting starlings. Cox seeks about a dozen sturdy sky-hooks to hang the birds, with mounting reinforced by iron pipe. The two faced owls have luminous eyes visible from both sides and mounting instructions call for scaring starlings away with firearms or fireworks for two or three nights prior to installation.
