CHICAGO, July 1.-IndustrIal pros perity. which began to arrive early In the year. still retains it's grip as the country enters the second half of 1923, according to a survey of con ditlons by Armour & Co.,. packers.
 The Armour business experts de- clare that slackening of trade no- ticed in May was, in the light of re- turns from the month Just past. ap parently just cautionary movement "a sort of halt wherein business was taking an inventory of itself.
 The packing concerns report also suggested that the public has be- come fairly well sated with econom- ical buying for economy's sake and Is now turning it's attention to high CT priced merchandise.
 Buying Power Satisfactory.
 If this conclusion, based on the fact that prices for goods and ma terial of higher grade have stood while prices for cheaper goods have weakened, is logical, the report says it follows that the buying power of the nation Is on a very satisfactory basis.
 During June observers seemed to sense certain easing in the tension which had been restricting the free movement of merchandise from re- tailers to consumers, and a better spirit seems to prevail in virtually all lines of industry" the survey re- ports. Two of the major economic factors conducive to that feeIIng were the record car loadings of LOLA, ,029 cars for the month of May. made public in June, and the average daily iron production for May, which exceeded the best record even of the war days"

PARROT, ONCE PURE, KILLED FOR SWEARING
Slayer Fined For Executing Indi-

EVANSTON, H., July 1.-When a parrot teaches Itself to swear it be- comes an individual with human traits instead of just parrot. This is the decision of Justice of the Peace H. G. Williams.
 Rutheda, the parrot of Mrs. Ser tha Flugge, was the purest and most clean minded thing I ever saw" before 1t flew away from her, ac- cording to Mrs. Flugge.
 Ferdinand Kutz, however, claimed he had been forced to kill the bird after finding it because 1t swore like mule driver and embarrassed him in company.
 The bird must have learned to swear by itself" Justice Williams decided. "No one has a right to shoot an individual with human traits, so I must fine Kutz S5 for killing the bird without a license"

 Suggests Withdrawal Of Millions Of Bushels As Means Of Keeping Prices Up

 CHICAGO, July 1.-Disposition of the present wheat crop through an increase in consumption will be the first goal sought by the new wheat council of the United States, which grew out of the recent national con ference here of all interests connect ed with the raising, milling, buying and distribution of wheat.
 Next, the council will try to bring about an approximation between the production of future crops and the consumption of wheat in this coun- try, Congressman Sydney Anderson of Minnesota, spokesman for the body's board of directors, said in an interview Sunday.
 Anderson declares it is vital to the prosperity of grain growers that the price of American wheat be deter mined in this country and not in Liv- erpool He believes that the best so- lution of the farmer problem will be found in cooperative marketing. Bring Control To U. ..
 The wheat council, he said, is now going concern.
 What we want" he explained, "is mensurate with general price levels at the standard of living In this country.
 Tt seems clear that the problem is one of bringing the control of the price of wheat within our own coun- try and that this can be accom- plished only by such means as will bring about an approximate balance between domestic production and consumption"
 Efforts toward increasing wheat consumption can and will be under taken at once, Anderson said, and will affect the- price of the crop about to be harvested.
 Organize Agriculture.
 The permanent solution of the problem, however" he continued, depends upon development and ap- p.ication of methods for organizing and controlling the production and mark keting of wheat in this country +-s fid- ~tifes more advantageous disposi- ticn of such surplus as may exist above domestic consumption.
 "It is my view that modern agri- culture must be an organized aGri- culture. It seems probable that the control of the situation will be found in the relatively few states produc- ing a surplus beyond their own re- quirements and that the organizd- ton of the relatively small propor- tion of the production in these states will be sufficient to establish a com dition of stability and equilibrium. v
 The wheat council, according to Congressman Anderson, will not confine it's attention to wheat alone. but will undertake to cooperate in all sound economic movements to promote the general welfare of the farmer"

1t is estimated by Distr Horticul-
tural Inspector Frank E. Nelson that
it will require 1900 cars to move the
apple crop of the Wenatchee and Okla
hogan districts this fall. That means
ITO trains of 100 cars each to move
the products of the orchards of the
Wenatchee and -Okanogan valleys to
market, and that many cars and trains
will move tremendous tonnage of
apples. The railroads are preparing
for this great drain upon it's rolling
stock by assembling cars upon every
available sidetrack adjacent to the
valley where the demand for cars ex-
lists, and announces that there will be
no shortage of rolling stock this year.
And it Is to be hoped that. the railroad
company will make no mistake in this
instance. This country, that is the
territory where the apple is the chief
product, could not stand another such
blow as was suffered last fall by a
lack of cars. Now, if the price is fav-
Orable the receipts from the apple
harvest is going to put millions of
dollars in circulationr which will give
the valleys mighty good imitation
of prosperity. If Mr.. Myers was reck-
less for votes he would go before the
apple growers and promise to secure
government backing to insure $500 a
box, but Mr.. Myers is the kind of a
man who would not promise the i'm
possible even if by doing so he might
be assured of a few extra votes.

day this community was wrought up
by tie report that bank at Chelan

Friday, and robbed of money and Sc
curities aggregating $4,000. Every
body was astounded, and so expressed
themselves over the boldness of the
robbery When the report was finally
sifted down it appeared that an unfor-
tunate pedestrian had been robbed on
the common highway of sum
amountigng to nearly 500. Now this
crime was shocking enough. because
the loss of 800 to tnis hard working

vidual as the robbery of large sum
from bank would have been to that
institution, but it was a small item in

is going on every day, in comparison
with what bank robbery would have
been with so large a sum involved.
