BRITISH ADVERTISERS PLAN
FOR CONVENTION IN JULY

Harrogate. Eng, June 25.-(P-
Plans for the first annual British
Advertising Convention district IA
of the Associated Advertising Clubs
of the WorldD to be held here July
4-S, are rapidly being completed, c.
Harold Vernon, of London, district
chairman, has announced. So great
is the interest in the convention
among business men and women of
England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales,
Mr.. Vernon said, that it has been
found necessary to limit the number
of delegates to 1000.
The publicity clubs of Leeds and
Bradford will be joint hosts. Stuart
A. Hirst, of Leeds, has been appointed
chairman of a general organizing
committee for the convention. In
cluded in the membership Of the COM

Formed Association
Now in 1920 and 1921 the supply
far exceeded the demand. Rubber
was a drug on the market. So the
British rubber men formed an asso-
citation and got Parliament to pass a
law known as the Stevenson act.
Under this act rubber exports are
limited to a certain percentage of the
yield of 1921 production. The market
price for each quarter year deter
mines the percentage that can be ex-
ported in the next quarter.
Right now the growers are export
ing IS per cent of their 1921 yield.
The U. S. Department of Com
merce has just made an extensive
survey of the situation. It's report
says this:
Had the British colonies produced
and exported to their capacity in
1924 it is estimated that 100000 more
tons would have reached the market
during this year"
Promised Relief
In January, 1923, a delegation of
SEO"cIS, ucducu ny
Sir Eric Miller, came to America and
to protests of American consumers.
promised that in event of a shortage
the Stevenson act would be relaxed
so as to permit larger exports and
avoid unreasonably high prices.
But this spring, when the Rubber
Association of America cabled and
asked that this be done, the British
retorted that no emergency existed
and they were satisfied to let things
ride rs they were.
Repeated appeals from America
failed to change this attitude.
So, for the present, there is little
the American consumers can do but
pay the price.

TAKES
FIRST RANK IN
CAR INDUSTRY

Since the name Walter p. Chry sler,
through the Chiysler car, first be-
came known to the public, it has
grown to position of commanding
Importance in the automobile indus
try. Men competent to judge have
since declared that at the rate he is
going and the progress his organiza-
ton is making, he is rapidly estab-
fishing himself as the outstanding
new figure in the industry. These
men go SO far as to say that within
two years his organization will be
recognized as having achieved indus
trial accomplishments hitherto con-
sidcred impossible in the manufac-
turc and marketing of quality motor
cars. 1t is only to the public at
large that Walter P. Chrysler is a
new figure in the making and mer-
chandising of motor cars. Within
the industry he has known more than
dozen years as one of it's leading
men. Since he assumed position
of outstanding Importance in the ma
600 cars have been built and sold
under his leadership.
Today, at so, those closest to him
say that he and the organization he
has gathered about him are only APP
preaching the threshold Of their
greatest accomplishments. Recent
visitors to the Chrysler plants in
Detroit report that one of the most
amazing happenings in connection
with the building of that car is the
personal interest taken in all stages
Of its manufacture by Mr.. Chrysler
himself.
1t should be said here, to apprc-
ciatc the singularity of the man,
that the magnitude of his operations
and interests is larger than that of
any other American, with perhaps a
half dozen or ten exceptions.
But visitors who have seen him
spend hours at time about the
Chryslcr plants are inclined to agree

Miss Roberts and Walter met in
Washington the summer before their
marriage. He was then--as now-the
mound star of the Washington base
ball team.
He was enjoying one of his great
est seasons in 1913 and there WAS
many Il society dcbutantc who set her
cap for the smoke ball king. Miss
Roberts was in official society, being
The daughter of Congressman T.. l..
Roberts of Nevada.
His first present to her was Il pass
to the ball park.

she says. 81 went to the game, but

And since their marriage. Mrs.
Johnson has missed few ball games
that her husband has pitched, al
though it is often difficult for a
mother with four children to get
away from her home.
The Johnsons are a very happy
couple, with their healthy and lively
family.
Like the true wife, Mrs. Johnson
has jealousy guarded her husbands
health and his long pitching record
in the major leagues must in part be
attributed to her help.
In addition, to insisting that he eat
proper food, Mrs. Johnson has also
kept worry from her husbands mind,
believing that was more dangerous
than a touch of indigestion. -
When the children had measles or
chickenpox while Walter was on the
road he didn't know a thing about it
until he got back home. - -

Total Number of Farms De-
creases in Four Years,
Report Shows

Fargo, N. D., June -LR-Thc
total number of farms in Burke
county has decreased by nearly 400
since 1920, and the farm values in
that county have decreased from
$lS,2S8,66O to $10,639,502 since that
year, figures received today from the
United States department of COM
merce, agricultural census division,
show. The 1925 figures were OBJ
tanned through the agricultural CEN
sus of the state just completed.
The summary of the report receiv-
ed today shows that on January l,
1925, there were 1910 farms in Burke
county, while at the taking of the
1920 census there were 1.46l. Of this
number this year, no are operated
by their owners, while in 1920, LII
were owner-operated. Managers
operated IL farms in 1920 and this
year only one manager is running
farm for the owner. Tenants this
year are working 800 of the Burke
county farms, while in 1920, 1893 Of
the farms were operated by tenant
farmers.
The value of land alone in the
county was listed in the report as
follows: 1925-$s,406,417; 1920
$15.192,975. The value of buildings
on the Burke county farms this year
is s2,233 ,O85 while the buildings in
1920 were estimated to be worth
$3,O95, 726.
There are only 9,299 horses on the
Burke county farms this year COM
pared to 1870 five years ago. The
total of all cattle in that county has
dropped from 1884 to 14,495 this
year. The number Of swine has in
creased. In 1920 there we're 4,779,
this year there are 6,531.
Along with the other decreases, a
large falling off is noted in the
acreage of the county devoted to
farms. In 1920 there were 596,249
acres of farm land in the county.
This year there are A50,395 acres.
Crop land in 1924 was l4,4G3
acres and pasture land was $3.50
acres for which the 1920 comparative
figures were unavailable.
