RECOVERY STILL
SLOW BUT SURE
FEDERAL RESERVE COUNCIL
SHOWS TREND OF BUSINESS
MUCH DEPENDS ON THE
NEW CROP.

Washington, May s. Normal
Strengthening of the economic ma
chinery of the nation is reported to
Comptroller of the Currency Criss-
niger by the IL chief national bank
examiners representing the Federal
reserve districts at their annual
meeting in Washington.
The examiners said there had
been notable improvement in bus
mess conditions together with re-
stored confidence and favorable
outlook for the future. The belief
was expressed however, that pro-
gress towards normal conditions
would be gradual.
Marked improvement i'm New Eng
land business conditions was re-
ported.
In the New York district, bust
ness, generally shows a wholesome
trend although still depressed i'm all
lines. according to ID. C. Borden.
This depressed condition." he
said. lis believed to still be due to
our western and southern agricul-
tural situation to taxation, to the
still too high living costs and TO la
Dor COSTS"
Reviving purchasing power of the
farmers was reported by Howard M.
Sims, of the Minneapolis district.
From commercial standpoint" he
said, business ia the ninth district
has been considerably impaired by
reason of the lessened purchasing
power of the farmers. Since March
1, there is however, an increase mo-
ted in the sales of merchandise
which rs particularly marked in the
sale of farm implements and ma
chinery. Commercially speaking
further improved conditions are now
directly dependent upon crop results
of the present year"

Howard Business Man
Great A dvertis er

Howard, May 8.-One of the most
persistent advertisers in South Da-
kota, and a firm believer in the use
of printers ink, is David Theophi-
lus, business man of this city. In
this connection there is an amusing
little story in reference to one fea-
ture of his use OF printers ink.
In addition to other business in
terests he conducts an elevator, and
for a period of "a years he ran the
same advertisement in a Howard
newspaper, the ad reading: Dave
Theophilus Sells Salt"
After he had seen this line in the
paper for year after year an Ala
bama subscriber got tired of read
ing the same "spiel" and wrote
Theophilus a postal card, with these
words:
For heavens sake, haven't you
sold that salt YETI"
Theophilus looked up his record
of sales and replied:
Have sold $4,000 barrels since
you commenced reading that ad, but
still have some left"

PROJECT LIKE PEACE
SHIP.

Washington, May 8.-Government
retention of the nitrate and power
projects at Muscle Shoals, Ala, rath-
er than their lease or sale to private
interests. was urged by j. H. Lever
ing, civil engineer, of Los Ange-
les, in testifying before the senate
agriculture committee i'm support of
Chairman Norris bill proposing a
government owned corporation for
development of the Muscle Shoals
territory
Mr.. Levering declared the coml
mittee should never accept private
offer until one had been drafted on
a sound business basis, contention
which was agreed in by Senator
Hendricks, democrat, Wyoming.
Senator Norbeck. republ C a n,
South Dakota, asked if Mr.. Levering
thought Henry Ford, who has subj
mitted an offer for the property
was embarking upon another peace
ship" expedition.
That's just what I mean" the
witness replied. adding that he
doubted IL Mr.. Ford had a process
by which the manufacture of fertil
izers could be reduced by one-hali
their present market prices.
Mr.. Levering said much of the
port given Mr.. Fords offer came
from sucker money" explaining
thatspeculators already were selling
lots at Muscle Shoals, next to Mr.
Ford's factory"
When the discussion was directed
to the offer made by Frederick Eng
strum of Wilmington, N. c.. Mr.. Lev
ering declared it would be a scan
dal for congress to accept that pro
position"
