Rotary Luncheon
Enjoyed by 81
At Mckenzie Hotel

Eighty-two Rotarians and their
wives enjoyed hilarious time at
the Rotary luncheon given in honor
of the ladies at the Mckenzie hotel
last evening. ]. L. Bell was the
speaker of the evening.
The jollity of the evening started
on the stroke Of $3.50 o'clock when
lthosc who were late contributed to
the evenings entertainment and the
Golfers of the Rotary fund by being
the recipients of special vocal greet
ings. Taxes of twenty-five cents
per head were levied, Judge A. M.
Christianson, Burt Finney, DR.. f. P.
yQuain, and J. l.. Bell, and their
&guests being among the late arri-
walls who dropped quarters in the
tin can circulated by Bob" Webb.
Hank" Halverson started the
singing as soon as the guests passed
through the doors of the Mckenzie
dining room. Harry Wagner presid
ed at the piano. Balloons at the
places of the diners invited the
crowd to enjoy a carnival season.
With little delay red,, white, and
blue spheres bearing the Rotary
motto were floating about the din
ing room and noises very similar
to those of carnival festivities echo
cd through the hall.
The first act of the president at
ter welcoming his guests was to in
st tute an investigation concerning
the outcome of Fred Copelin's Ford
day celebration which he declared
had postponed the Ladies night pro-
gram. After Mr.. Copelin had assur-
ed his inquisitor that the day had
been complete success with so
many cars present that no one
had been able to count them, he fin
ally estimated that five hundred
cords had appeared in the celebra-
Jon. A tax of twenty-five cents
per hundred was declared by Henry
Duemeland. Bob" Webb appeared
with the can and collected the
money.
Before the speaker of the even
ing, j. L. Bell opened his address,
Dr.. v. j. LaRose and Frank W.
Murphy gave reports on the Detroit
and st. Paul rotary meetings which
they had attended. Mr.. Bell who
had been the official delegate from
= the local Rotary club to the Inter
national Rotary convention at 81
Louis, Mo-, gave splendid report
of the meeting.
Penetrating his report with
many humorous asidcs and inter-
pretations of events the speaker
delighted the Rotarians and their
guests with his report. He spoke
of the inspiration derived from
hearing such personages as the
former presidents of Rotary, Presl-
dent Harding, Edward Guest. Arthur
Mcighen of Canada and various 9TH
err speakers of national and inter-
national fame.
J He said that in speaking to Mr..
\ Meighan later he found that Harry
Mclean, formerly of Bismarck, was
taking a prominen; place in the bus
mess life of Canada, and was we'll
known to Mr.. Mcighan.
After announcing the committees
for the next three months, LEV
Craswell and Roy Bonham for July,
George Bird and Bob" Webb for
August, and Fred Conklin and o. N.
Durham for September, Mr.. Dueme E.
land concluded the meeting because
he said, II know you all want to g.
to see the Spice of 1922"

WHEAT |SLOWER
AND CORN HIGHER
Weekly Review Shows Prices
of Provisions Advanced.
Hog Values Drop.
By the Assoc atcd Press.

By the Assoc atcd Press.
CHICAGO, May 26-Higher prices
for wheat have gone hand in hand
this week with lower prices for corn.
Unfavorable crop reports lifted the
value of wheat. Some enlargement
of corn receipts at St. Louis, Kansas
City and Omaha weakened the corn
market. Compared with a week ago,
wheat this morning was q to 1 cent
higher. corn 24aB to rs cents down.
oats, at a cent decline, to a shade
advance, and provisions varying
from 5a7 cents to Is cents gain.
Impaired crop prospects for wheat
We're reported day after day from
Kansas, Oklahoma, Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois. and there were indications
that, whereas, spring wheat advices
were favorable, the growth through
out the entire winter wheat belt was
subnormal. Although some trade RS
were disinclined to place much faith
in the reported deterioration, others
took the ground that to a large ex-
tent winter wheat was going back
instead Of making progress, and that
warm weather was needed to bring
the crop along.
-four, together with a decided falling
off in the United States, visible sup
ply of wheat, tended further to
strengthen wheat prices. Warlike
moves by Turkey and Greece also
were given some attention as bullish
factors. Slowness of speculative
buying, however, and of new export
business acted as more or less of a
check on upturns in price. and so,
too, at times, did weakness of stocks,
together with assertions that Eu-
ropean crops were in better condi-
tion than last year.
Notwithstanding that no increase
of the movement of corn to Chicago
took place, the corn market here was
bearishly affected by the lessened
scarcity of other centers. Oats were
easier with corn.
Packing houses reported trade
brisk, and provisions averaged high
er despite a setback in hog values.

LOBDELL EXPLAINS
BIG FARM ISSUES
Farm Loan Head Tells Bankers
Problems 0utrank Rail
road Situation.

Terming the problems OF the farmer
or vital interest to the nation and of
greater Importance than the railroad
situation, Charles f. LobdeIl, federal
farm loan commissioner. made an ap-
peal to the bankers of the United States
to aid in their solution, in an address
at Atlantic City this week Judge
LobGeIl SAID the investment in agricul-
ture IS $4,000, 200, 900 in excess of the
total investments of three other great
industries in the United States. includ-
ing railroads and steel manufacture
The establishment of the inter
mediate credit bank" he said, means
another line of country bank-a small
bank of rediscount. The farmer who
grasps 1T will benefit, as will the coun-
try banker who awakens TO its impor-
tance. This new rediscount bank is the
problem of the country banker. 1t will
come either with his cooperation or
opposition"
Commissioner Lobdell said three prin-
clpal objections had been raised to the
passage of laws to improve the credit
facilities of farmers These we're
paternahsm. class legislation and that
the measures were unnecessary He
answered these objections, although in
discussing the first named he said he
regretted seeing the government he
coming the owner of a chain of hanks
but added: "In discussing paternaIism
1t is all a question of who is benefited
by It, There was no opposition a short
time ago when the doors of the Treas
ury Department were opened to de-
post funds to have the financial str,lc-
ture of the United States"
The farmer asks for no fayors. he
seeks only square deal He is NOT
opposed to big business, but, on the
contrary, realizes that, properly regu-
lated, 1t is vital factor in our indus
trlaI and financial systems. Given a
square deal, agriculture will continue
our chief industry. with the farmer
the corner stone OF our economic str1Ic.
ture." 81 ~

WEEK SEES HALT
IN STOCK DECLINES
Bear or Bull Market Outlook Now
Puzzling Wall Street
Traders.
By the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 26.-The reaction
In securities and commodities prices,
which had been under way since the
first week in March, came to a sudden
halt this week, which witnessed a
sharp rally in the stock and other
speculative markets. Expert OBJ
servers generally were of the opinion
that the market had been oversold,
at least temporarily, and that the
brisk recovery was a natural correc-
tion of a weakened technical condi-
tion. Opinion is still widely divided,
however, as to whether the recent re-
action was the beginning of a bear
market or temporary setback in
cidental to the final phase of the bull
market which began in the late sum-
mer of 1921.
There were several constructive de-
velopments during the week, includ-
ing the statement of the Federal Re-
serve Board advisory council that
business and credit conditions We're
good and that there was no imme-
diate prospect Of an increase in Fed
eral Reserve rediscount rates, and the
announcement that j. P. Morgan &
Co. had agreed to underwrite part
of the Austrian loan, which was ac-
cepted as evidence Of the soundn ess
of the investment situation.

PRICES OF BUTTER
DROP DURING WEEK
Increase in Gross Product. How
ever, May Soon Cause
Advance.
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, May 26.-Under pressure
of more rapid increase in receipts
the butter market during the week
ended today continued weak and un-
settled.
Prices were considered too high and
quality unsuitable for storing. Con-
sumption, the only outlet, although
considerably enlarged, was not suf-
fcient to absorb the full increase in
production.
Despite the rather heavy declines
there was some indication that prices
were nearing bottom. Probably the
most important of these was the ar
rival of increasing quantities OF grass
butter on all markets, particularly at
Chicago. Traders also gave their
attention to the fact that this is the
first week this season during which
the Into storage" exceeded the "out
of storage" movement.
Wholesale prices OF 80 score butter
at Chicago closed at 3S1a. loss of II
points. Quotations from New York, Bos-
