MARCH FLOUR SHIPMENTS
Heavy Increase Shown Over Same
Month In 1920

Associated PreSS Dispatch.
Minneapolis, April 15.-Although
reports stated that -four market is in
an apathetic stage, flour mills here
shipped more -four and mill feed dur
ing the month of March this year
than in 1920, it is shown in figures
compiled by the Minneapolis Traffic
tssociation.
During March this year, Minnesota
-four mills shipped $500 cars Of -four
and mill feed while during the cor
responding month last year but Asp
cars were loaded for export. w. P.
Trickett, manager director of the as
ISOLATION, explained that the increase
in March this year partly was due to
the fact that there was surplus of
equipment to take care of the ship
ments while last year at, that time
a serious car shortage was experience
ID and much flour could not be ex-
'orted for that reason. Local mills,
he said, had more contracts for the
grinding of flour in 1920 than this
year, but many of them transferred
the actual milling to their eastern
mills where the shortage of equip
ment was not so acute.
Mr. Trickett estimated that the
mills of Minneapolis were grinding
at about fifty two percent normal
capacity, with each successive month
showing Improvement.

MOTHER DOG BEGGED
Story Told of Animal Instinct at
Clear Lake, MINI.
Associated Press Dispatch.l

lASSOC1dC6Q FT0SS D1SpdICn,
Clear Lake, Mimi, April 15.-When
the owner of dog and nine puppies
turned them out without food and re-
fused to feed them any longer, the
mother dog did just what a human
mother would have done in similar
circumstances She went from door
to door begging food for her little
one. The dog would scratch at the
back doors of Clear Lake houses and
when opened she would look into the
face of the person who came and then
at her half starved puppies, telling
as eloquently as she knew how that
they were In need.
Her appeal was always needed and
food was provided for the wanderers.
But in every instance the mother dog,
hungry as she must have been, re
fused to touch any of the food until
her little ones had had all they want
ed. The case was reported at length
to Sam f. Fullerton, executive agent
of the Minnesota Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty, who investigated
the story and found it true in every
particular. Mr.. Fullerton compelled
the dogs owner to take her and her
puppies back to provide enough food
for them.
