DUN's WEEKLY REVIEW.

New York, June 17.-Dun's to-
morrow will say:
1.-THE repression OF business ac-
tivities Is not unnaturally accent
uated in various quarters as the
half-year nears it's ending. Prep
arations for inventorying and other
accounting begin to occupy atten-
ton and approaching holidays and
vacations also have a quieting in
fluence. These are factors which
are always present at this season,
but which have a more conspicu-
Gus effect during periods of COM
mercial reaction. More than year
of readjustment. with steadily fall
ing prices has brought certain
trades to the point where some re-
vival along conservative lines has
been possible. but the hoped for
general recovery is still deferred.
While the recent large attendance
Of buyers in some markets has
been encouraging, operations have
been mainly confined to immediate
or nearby requirements, and have
not been of sufficient magnitude
to prevent further increase of idle
machinery in some industries.

EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
THE NEW NATIONAL BUDGET LAW.
(From the MinneapoIis TribuneD


With the signing by President Harding the
national budget bill has now become law. 1t has
taken many years and a vast deal of agitation to
reach this stage and now that the way has been
made clear to put more business in government"
it will be up to those having authority to that
the best possible use is made of the new law
President Harding is to take the first step in
giving life and force to the act 1t is his duty
and privilege appoint the director of the bu-
man of courage, broad intelligence to national
needs, and good judgment. He will need courage
because in the very nature of things he will go
against long entrenched departmental customs and
prejudices. The force of old systems they are
felt upon departments and individuals is not easily
broken, but this force must be broken If the new
law is to work out in practice 1t should
1t Is to be expected the president will pick his
man for director with great care. The president
will be looked to primarily as the man respon-
sble for the success failure of the budget sys-
tenn and that by virtue of his office, his appoinive
power and his function of review of the work Of
the director. He has personal interest, therefore,
in procuring the best man from among various
men who may seem well fitted for this important
post. Experience may suggest changes in the law
as time goes on but the esteem in which the law
and the principle it embodies held will depend
largely the practical operation of the system in
its earlier stages.
Another thing is quite manifest in advance. and
that is that the budget system will work at its
best only If it have the full sympathy and support
of the members Of both houses of congress In that
direction probably lies the greatest danger Of
serious obstacles but it ought to be quite apparent
to every member Of congress that the taxpayers
of the land pin sturdy hope of national economy
on this new law, and that they will not he dis

concerted effort to impair its usefulness.

THE HOLT LETTER.

Mr.. Hamilton Holt editor of Independent, has
written President Harding letter anent his att-
tude toward league association of nations. The
burden of the Holt letter is demand that the
president define the position of the administration
this very important question.
The president can hardly be heard to say
that he has not had time to consider the matter.
For intarr-'~7hle months the whole question was
discussed 20 senate, during which time Mr..
Harding member. He voted for the league
with the Lodge amendments. Under such circum-
stances any virile man would have definite con-
victions vital a question.
During the campaign Mr.. Harding assumed a
non-committal attitude. Men like Hughes and
Hoover whom he afterward honored with a place
in his cabinet said that Mr.. Harding was for
going in" with reservations.
Johnson and Borah, irreconcilable opponents of
any league. claimed Mr. Harding as their own
and supported him. Colonel Harvey, bitter-ender.
is Ambassador to Great Britain. Judge Hughes
pro-eaguer, is secretary Of state. Thus Mr. Hard
ing equivocates.
AS senator he may have needed no we'll de-
fined policy AS a candidate for the presidency,
his advisors doubtless thought he should announce
But president, charged with the respon-
sbility for the welfare of the nation he must
decide upon policy and pursue it. To do less to
drift with the tide in the midst of the wreckage
of our national prosperity is not only unwse in
policy but wrong in morals
1t is true that there is a great difference of
opinion among republicans on the subject. But
Mr.. Hardings function titular head of the party
to hold it together is secondary. His primary duty
is to the whole people. Their welfare demands
that he constructively in some direction This
he should do openly.
The future Of Mr. Harding and of his party
is wrapped up in this question 1t cannot be side
stepped for much longer time The party is not

SOME RECIPES FROM
READERS.

Mrs. e. J. W: II have gotten so
much help from your column and
from other readers contributions,
that l feel as if I'd like to pass on
few of my own ideas. When
my family tires of potatoes cooked
in the usual ways, l serve the fol-
lowing: Wash and bake medium
sized potatoes, keeping just
enough boiling water in the bak-
ing pan to keep them moist. When
done, cut a small piece from the
top, scoop out the inside, and mix
as follows: for the interior of ev-
cry three potatoes add l teaspoon
of butter and one egg-white beat
en- stiff; season with salt and pep
per and return to the empty cases.
Put the stuffed potatoes back into
the oven for about eight minutes,
then serve them at once. l some
times serve sweet potatoes in this
way: Pare and boil medium sized
sweet potatoes until tender and
remove and place in pan in this
way: l layer of the sweet pota-
toes sliced, a little sugar sprinkled
over the slices, thin layer of
marshmalloWs cut into small
pieces, and then another layer of
the sliced sweet potatoes-and SO
repeat the order of. these layers
till the dish is full; finish with
the marshmallow layer. Set the
dish in the oven and let bake until
the marshmallows melt and are
brown on top. l hope to see in
print soon q recipe for Oatmeal
Cookies. VIII you kindly print
one?"
Answer: Thank you for the two
excellent recipes given above. Here
is the cookie recipe: Oatmeal
Cookies: Cream together l cup
butter and l cup sugar; add 2
slightly beaten eggs .(not .separat-
ed, tablespoons sweet milk. q
cups flour sifted with l teaspoon
soda and l teaspoon cinnamon. 2
cups of uncooked rolled oats, l
cup of small seedless raisins, l
cup of chopped walnut meats, a
pinch Of salt and teaspoon of
vanilla. This makes a stiff bait r
and should be dropped on buttered
tins by Tablespoonful. Bake
about Is minutes in hot oven.
Housewife: II read the recipe
recently printed in your column
for Chile Con Carne and am send
ing you mine, which is little diff
ferent but which we like very
much. Instead Of using ground
beef and pork, use cold leftover
beef or pork-which has been
either boiled or roasted. l buy a
five-cent package of spaghetti and
boil half of it in sailed water I'M
til tender. then drain 1t and rinse
1t in cold water (by means of a
colander). / then put the spa
ghetti back into the kettle in
which it was cooked and add 1

matoes, cups Of diced leftover
beef Cor pork) and a good-sized
onion which has been sliced and

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.

Chicago. June 17--T orrid wealth
er did good deal today to make
wheat prices advance. Closing
prices were unsettled, 2%c to 3hc
net higher. with July $1.S1A to
$1.311s and September $1.24h to
$1.24&. Corn finished 2%c to
2&c up, and oats gained nc to
1hc. In provisions the outcome
was unchanged to &c higher.
Apprehension as to the effect of
hot weather on wheat had relation
to the spring crop and was intensi-
fled by forecasts that abnormally
high temperatures would continue
several days. Another bullish in
fluence was knowledge that first
threshers OF the winter crop in Mis-
souri, showed disappointing re-
turns. Assertions that $50, 900
bushels, had been bought for ex-
port by way Of the Gulf Of Mexico
tended also to lift, values. Offer
ings were light until the market
had jumped as much as S cents a
bushel in some cases. At that
level houses with eastern connec-
tons became free sellers and re-
actions ensued. On the breaks,
however, demand broadened out,
with the July delivery displaying
particular strength as the day
reached a close. Bull leaders pre-
dicted that there would be no ma
terial accumulation of stocks dur
ing July. ..,...
Strength in corn was largely due
to possibilities of drought scare.
Oats were somewhat affected by
reports of crop deterioration.
Dullnese prevailed in the provi-
sion trade, and hindered the mar.
ket from sympathizing much with
upturn in the value Of grain and
hogs.
Closing prices: ,., ..-,.

If you'll put your light out, Uncle
/ Wiggily, I'd love to sit in the dark
and talk to you and Nurse Jane"
Right gladly will l do that"
said the bunny gentleman. So he
set the bottle of lightning bugs in
another room, where they would
not shine in the eyes Of the June
Bug, and then the buzzing chap,
with his big body, his Jagged legs
and strong wings grew quiet.
why is it you always bang

June Bug. But l am like most
bugs and millers, as soon as l see
the CLEAN of a light, no matter
what it is, l sail right toward it,

we insects are having lots of fun

I'm glad you like it," the bum

laugh. He thought of the time
the bugs came in to ride on his
toadstool seat, which turned
around like a piano stool.

with it, and we'd like to have you

went on.
Uncle Wiggily was just saying
he would be delighted to come,
and bring Nurse Jane, when, all
at once, there was a noise in the

room was dark after the FREELY
