LOW LEVEL IS HIT
 BY BUTTER PRICES
All Markets Weak And Unset
 tied During Week

CHICAGO, April 12-Butter prices this week reached the lowest level of the season. Following the lead of New York, where sharp declines occurred, conditions at all points assumed the characteristics of weak and unsettled markets.
 The chief factor. contributing to the weakened state was the general senti- ment that prices must go lower, based on weak foreign markets, heavier cur rent arrivals and a considerable stor- age stock surplus over the correspond ing week last year.
 A slow increase in production was in- dicated by reports of the American As sociation of Creamery Butter Manufac- turers, which showed a 33 per cent in- crease over last year. and report from smaller creameries showed a slightly larger make. The Minnesota Co-opera- tive Creameries reported a decrease over the previous week.
 Foreign butter caused nervousness with New Zealand and Argentine find ing a very slow sale at declining prices. Arrivals included POO casks from Hol- land and 6,T00 boxes of Argentine and 13,937 boxes of New Zealand ship nent in New York harbOr were unlOaded and made available for domestic mar kets.. A shipment of 5000 casks of Danish is due next Tuesday. but further shipments from New Zealand and tie Argentine are not probable.

SEABCARD MAKES
OPERATING RECORD

John Bowen, Americas agent for
the Seaboard Air Line railroad, an
nounced today that an excellent
record for the operation of trains
during May was made by the Sea-
board Air Line railway last month
when the trains maintained per-
centage Of 97.6 per cent for OPP
Grating on time.
Considering the lumber of trains
on the system, he says, this is con-
sid6red a rather high percentage
and is a result ef the efforts made
BY Seaboard officials to constant
ly improve its passenger service.
Some of the, divisions maintained
an. average of 100 per cent, while
others made from 97.6 per cent to
99.8 per cent, giving a net per-
centage Of 97.6 per cent for the
entire system.
Efforts are being made to bet
ter the percentage of last month;
the aim being to have all divisions
operating 100 per cent on time, ac-
cording to Mr.. Bowen.

cream. Sprinkle it over other cereals.
Cook it with hot cereals. Look for
the recipes on every package and try
it in mullins, bread, griddle cakes, etc.

+ Above, nature was seen in its
angriest mood in a series of
phenomenal cIoudbursts near
johnson City, Tenn. Four sepa-
rate torrents raced down Iron
Mountain, cutting great holes in
its sides, sweeping boulders and
trees in its path. The paths cut
in the mountain are shown in this
photograph. Then it dashed
through 20 miles of Carter cOun-
ty, carrying stores, homes and
railroad tracks along with it. A
dozen persons were killed and
scores of families were forced to
flee for their lives. Below center,
a 2o-foot gulley was cut through
acre after acre of farm land.
Near the center can be seen a
bush TO which Walter Lewis, z,

year since the appearance of the
iweevil. Last year the crop was very
short, just above 10000 bales, due
to an exceedingly wet summer and
a heavy we6vil infestation. =
Early this season the ccld, yet
weather and the ice damaged the
plant considerably, especially on
gray lands, but the dry, hot wealth.

the plant out and prospects fer q

of soreness, either when applying it
or afterwards and it dosn't even ir-

CHARGE AZ STEEL
FIRMS VIOLATED
ANTITRUST LAW
Suit Will Haze Bearing on
Activities of Trade As
sociations.

Cleveland, Ohio, March 2s.-Forty-
seven large malleable iron casting
companies ana 4S men. including Rob-
ert l.. Belt. secretary-trsasurer of the
American Malleable Casting Associa-
ton, were indicted by the federal
grand jury here yesterday ON charges
of violating the Sherman antitrust
law. The other individuals are Off
GERS of companies located in eastern
6rd central western industrial dis
tricts and one at Chattanooga, Tenn.
The suit is regarded here as like
" to have an important bearing on
activities of trade associations in
many lines of business and indus
tries.
The indictment briefly charges
maintenance of the American Male
able Castings Association with head
quarters here to represent the inter
ests; participation as members to-
gether with Belt, in an agreement to
eliminate internal competition. fix
prices, assign and allot customers to
one another, and enforce such assign
ments or allotments by fefraining
from competing for customers so as
signed.
The forty-seven companies. Of which
the National Malleable and Steel
Castings Company, with headquarters
here and branches in Toledo, Chicago,
Last st. Louis and indianapolis. is
the largest, have an output of ap.
proximately 100000 tons of malleable
castings annually, the indictment re-
cites, estimating this at 20 per cent
of the national production.
