BRADSTREET'S

NEW YORK, Dec. 10. = Up = Brad
streets tomorrow will say:
Colder weather with snow and
growth of the holiday buying urge,
aided in some areas by distribution of
savings club funds, has pushed retail
trade to the front this week. Even in
the south, where low priced cotton
still overhangs the entire business sit
uation, there is mention of holiday
trade being factor, although num-
Der of cities report volume so far, on
the other hand, has tended to contract
except, where recorder or fill-in buying
is noted. Industry has quieted further
and building, f f e t e d by colder
weather or snow, has tended to slow
down, building materials of all kinds
reflecting this in reduced volume of
buying. Hardwood lumber seems less
subject to pressure from this reason,
possibly owing to furniture trade buy
ing.

news furnished the main impetus for

Spirited bidding for international

into new high ground were Crucible

Revival of strength and activity in

Increased activity developed in the
low priced motors under the leadership

to reports of record breaking holiday
business, with Woolworth and Ma

In the railroad group, Pere Mar

and Lehigh Valley established new
high levels for all time. The specula-

would make a more generous distribu-

result of unusual prosperity this year
was an important factor in the adj

A drop of one cent or more a bushel
in active wheat futures, based on more
favorable weather reports, featured the
commodity markets. Cotton drifted

slightly easier tone, with demand ster-

be free to the public.
A number of community and. fra :
ternal organizations are taking part

lean leg:on, the schools, the Hi-Y
club, the Y. M. c. A., Y. w. G. A..

Unlocked for downturns in wheat
quotations at Liverpool gave particular
emphasis to talk current that pros
pective big crops in the southern hemi-
sphere were competing with those har-
vested in northern countries and that
the competition is daily becoming more
keen. In some quarters gossip about
big Russian exports had also more or
less bearish influence. Shipments from
Russia were asserted to total 100000
bushels since July l., compared with
II, 100000 bushels last year.
Colder weather expected to bring
about larger receipts of corn tended to
weaken the corn market. Oats met
with a good class of buying and turned
strong in the late trade. Provisions
were responsive to weakness both of
hog values and of corn.

DISPATCH TO ASSIST
RADIO FANS TO CLEAR
AIR OF INTERFERENCE

The Douglas Dispatch, at the re-
quest of number of Douglas radio
fans, will take the initiative from this
city in urging governmental super
vision of the air in order to escape
interference in hearing caused by
too many stations broadcasting or
the same wave length. Within the
next few days the Dispatch will send
a telegram to Senators Ralph H.
Cameron and Henry Ashurst and Rep
resentative Carl Hayden, urging them
to support two bills now before CON-
eress for government control of the
air.
All radio fans who are interested
in securing better results in receiv-
ing are requested to sign their names
to this telegram. The more names
signed to the telegram, the more eff
feet it will have in Washington. It

radio owners in the city. Those who
desire to sign the telegram are re-
quested to notify The Dispatch office
promptly.
The interference is caused by too
many stations using the same wave
length; a condition that is constantly
growing worse as additional stations
are installed. The two bills now
under consideration by congress both
offer a solution of the problem througl
government control of the air, and are
quite similar except that one pro.
vides for a separate commission, while
the other puts the administration in
the hands of the secretary of the
interior.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March 81. - The
Anheuser-Busch Company, me of
the largest brewing companies in the
world, is ready to make real beer on
an instant's notice, officials Of the

Believing the trend of public opin

that only a slight change would be
necessary to make pre-war beer,

CANDIDATES In
PRECINCT RACE
START BATTLE:
Positions as Committeeman
Sought After New
Boundaries Fixed.

A scramble of candidates for posi-
tions of precinct committeeman was
on today, following announcement of
new Marion County precinct bound
aries by county commissioners.
There are now 269 precincts in the
county, an increase of sixty-four.
Commissioners said many of the
precincts were created to relieve on
gestion at the polls. Heretofore
many persons in large precincts
have been unable to vote because of
the large numbers waiting i'll line
when the polls + about to close.
Commissioner Cassius L. Hogle said
in some precincts there were as
many as 1900 voters.
Provided for by Act
Redistricting was provided for by
an act of the 1925 Legislature. New
law provides that all precincts must
lie entirely within the corporate
limits or entirely outside the city.
The increase it is said will aid
George v. Coffin, Republican county
chairman who is seeking reelection.
The Marion County Voters League
opposing Coffin, is preparing to put
up candidates in each precinct for
precinct committeeman. The COM
mitteemen elect the county chair
man at a reorganization meeting,
the Saturday following the primary.
The primary is May 4 this year.
On the Democratic side there has
not been much interest displayed
over the precinct organization. 1t is
reported party factional leaders
have come to an agreement where
by precinct committeeman will be
placed in the field and elected on
the basis of merit and party loyalty.
Increases
The sixteen precincts in the
First ward have been increased to
twenty. Nine precincts have been
added to the twenty-one already in
the Fourth ward. In the Ninth ward
the number of precincts was in
creased from sixteen to twenty-one
and in the Tenth ward from thirteen
to twenty-five.
In the Thirteenth ward increase
of five precincts was made, making
the new number fifteen. In Warren
Township the number was increased
from five to nine, and in Washing.
ton Township an addition of ten
precincts was made, giving the
township twenty-five precincts.
