Chicago, April 12.-The American
Meat Packers association, through it's
bureua of public relations, issued the
following statement today regarding
present meat prices and the probable
trend in the future. The associations s
membership includes large and small
packers. f+,%
"The situation today in the meat
industry is just about what Herbert
Hoover and other food administration
officials said it would be, as far back
as the first of the year." says the
statement.
"That high prices are caused large
" by heavy demands rather than any
control aimed to stim aiate prodaction

clearly in the case Of hogs. When the
minimum prcie fixed for hogs was
removed, the food administration pre-
dicted that the prices might go still
higher. The prediction is now being
verified. .>.
High Prices Will Continue
"High prices will continue for a
long time. Each day that brings final
peace nearer means greater call on
this country for meat. The supply of
meat is dependent first of all on the
supply of livestock. European herds
have been reduced by war. To that
extent, world production Of livestock

But the armistice, instead of hav-
ing reduced the demand for meat, has
given us more than 200,O00,O0O addi-
tional mouths to feed, either wholly or
in part. AS shipping becomes avail
able, an increasing number of hungry
nations will be accessible for provi-
sioning.

the effect that the state flood con-
troll commission has just established

vising that stations have been estab-

Pembina Federal stations already
existed at Fargo, Grand Forks, Hag-
gart and Wild Rice.
The purpose OF these stations" ;"
said Engineer Hard today, lis to ac-
curately determine stream velocity
and daily reading Of river height at
each point in order to know the vol.
ume of water passing. This data is
required by the commission in order
to determine the capacity of possible
reservoirs needed to hold back the
spring floods. These stations should
have been established ten years ago.
They are now placed in time to catch
this springs run in every scase. The
Sheyenne and James are especially
high this spring. The flood crest was
on at Valley City on Sunday, and the
big snow will raise it again. In Eddy,
Benson and Nelson counties the Sfey.
enne is ordinarily but a small creek.
Now it is out of banks and spreads
a half-mile over it's flood plane. The

At this weeks hearing before the
state banking commission efforts were
made to secure approval for this in
stitutiOn and admission under the
banking laws of North Dakota 1t
was shown that John J. Hastings,
whose financial exploits in connec-
ton with the bank have been regard
ed in some circles as somewhat fren,
zied, had resigned as director and
vice president of the American Ex-
change.
Deputy Bank Examiner Halderson
in his testimony before the commits
sion several times brought forth the
fact that Mr.. Hastings had resigned
and had made complete restitution"
to the bank in the sum of SIS .O26.S5.
This restitution is presumed to have
concerned three cashiers checks
each in the sum of $3,OO5.37. made
payable to Thomas Allan Box. secre-
tary Of the North Dakota council of
defense; Mr.. Hastings and the Fed.
eral Development Co., and a fourth

to admit the American Exchange bank
under the state law which would guar
antee the deposits of the institution
provided Mr.. Hastings is required to
pay the balance on note for $4,000,

It is said to have developed during

THERE IS A REASON"

The reason for the unusual good service from our Ingersol watches and alarm clocks is our careful sys- tenn of inspection whep we get them.
 We run the watch one day each in three positions: Dial up, dial down, and hanging up; and if it doesn't average good is it returned and a new one demanded. This is the reason why we seldom get a complaint from purchaser of one of these watches.
 Our alarm clocks are rigidly in- spected also.

At the same time, Chairman Peek

changed its attitude.
