Immediate introduction into Con-
gress OF two bills providing for free
text books for all public school pupils
except normal school students and
granting permission to teachers to
draw a salary in excess of $4,000 by
serving in the night and Summer
schools was ordered by members of the
Board of Education at a two-hour Ses
sion yesterday afternoon. The meet
ing was punctuated with spirited de-
bate on a number of live school topics
Recommendation that the bills be
introduced at once was made by Henry
Gilligan. chairman of the legislation
committee He requested that the
board direct that the bills be presented
to Congress direct, not through the
District Commissioners, and the &C.
tion was taken in this form.
Deciding that the consideration Of
the IL recommendations regarding the
conduct of normal schools in the Dis
trict, as made by the Bureau of Edu.
cation, could be better disposed OF at
special meetings. the board decided to

Echo of Gasque Hearings.
An echo Of the Gasque hearings was
heard when DIR. II. b. Learned, as
chairman of the committee on build
ings and grounds, made a report of
his investigation into a statement
made by Mrs. T.. r. Kalmbach before
the congressional committee regard.
ing some wiring done at one OF the
schools. DIR. Learned said that it was
charged that it took eight men two
days, at an expense of between $50
and SEQ, to do this wiring, which was
for the temporary hooking up Of a
motion picture machine, whereas the
Job should have been done promptly
ut from SIS to $40. 1t was pointed out
that the charge was made to sub
stantiate other charges that the re-
pair fund is not handled as economi-
cally as it should be. DR.. Learned
reported that he had determined that
there were but two District repair
shopmen on this job, and that it cost
SCOTS. 's'
"I want to say declared DIR.
Learned, that this is sample of the
careless rumors that get about. and
in this case got in a congressional
hearing under oath"
Mrs. Kalmbach, who was present at
the meeting as a representative OF the
District Congress of Parent-Teacher
Associations, answered by saying that
there were eight men at work on the
Job a considerable portion of the time,
but she did not know until recently
that six OF them were from the Poto-
mac Electric Power Co. She said she
never quoted any figures as to what
the wiring cost, as she had never been
able to obtain any, and that she did
not testify atsthe Gasque hearing un-
der oath.

ADVISES MARKET
ING BUREAU FOR
FARM PRODUCTS
PRESIDENT OF NORTHWESTERN
ROAD URGES EATING OF MORE
FARM GROWN FOODS TO TAKE
CARE OF SURPLUS

A new proposal for agricultural aid;
involving no price fixing or similar
Legislation, was offered in Minneapolis
by Fred w. Sargent, president Of the
Chicago & North Western railway,
who spoke before large group OF
Civic & Commerce Association men,
bers.
MI. Sargent proposed formation
of bureau Of marketing in the Unit
ed States department of commerce,
with $5O,OOO,0OG approposition, and
with instructions to carry on a world
wide campaign to increase consump-
ton of farm products.
"In the World war;" he said, "the
government campaign to get people
to eat less agricultural products, at
the same time that production was
increased. This was part of the eff
fort to win the war. Since then moth
ing has been done to repair the dam
age of decreased consumption"
Urges Eating of Farm Products
Eating of more farm products, from
wheat and corn to vegetables and
fruits, together with fuller utilization
of products derived from agricultural
produce, would solve the question OF
surplus, in his opinion.
"Take corn for instance" he said,
america produces 70 per cent of all
the corn raised in the world, and it
is amazing the number Of uses corn
can be put to. We need to educate
the world, including the rest of Amer
lea, to make fuller use Of these prod
ucts. In fact, if we could get the farm
err to consume the corn and other
products, as he can do profitably the
question would be solved"
Research and Advertising Suggested
Such a department could conduct
research to develop new methods OF
consumption. Mr.. Sargent suggested,
as we'll as aid farmers and bushes
groups to advertise possibilities of
these products. One company manu-
featuring a grain product is sending
advance men to Java to educate the
natives to the use of their product,
he said, as a means of widening the
market.
Create a market and we won't
have to repeal law calling for arti-
fical price fixing" he said.

Look For
The Automobile
DIR. Row Smith

A boy of seventeen, employed in
a responsible position with good
firm, disappeared a few days ago leav-
ing shortage of little in excess of
eighty dollars in his accounts.
For two years he had worked faith
fully, enjoying the full confidence
of his employers. A careful check
of his accounts showed that he had
been entirely honest and worthy OF
trust up to sixty days ago.
Look for the automobile" was the
crisp comment of the head of the bond
ing firm when told of the case.
Give years ago when thing happen
ed, we looked for the girl. Now
we look for the car.
A second checking of his record
revealed the fact that just thirty
days before he began stealing he had
bought a second hand flivver.
Having bought the car h had to
keep it going and there are always
lot of necessary expenditures that
a seventeen year old boy cannot for
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1926-12-08

see. Nothing but experience can ever
teach him how expensive an auto
mobile is.
Driving car means there are places
to go-and there is spending to be
done at these places. And going to
these spending places means that
company must go along and mo fell
low wants to be a piker."
Then there is always an emergency
to be meta blowout a spare, the
monthly payment, insurance, road
accident, smashed tenders and en-
ergencies cost money and demand it
quick!
The bonding company will bring
this boy back to his distracted par
ents. The firm will probably accept
a settlement. The boy will be put
on probation, the car will be repos-
sed because there are two payments
due, the bonding company will perhaps
lose a little money and the boy will
be branded as a thief.
Employers who discover their youth
full employees buying cars are becom-
ing suspicious and are watching them
narrowly. The youth who undertakes
the support of an automobile on an
errand boys wage is face to face with
a great moral hazard. Parents who
are watchful of their boys future
will hesitate before they give their
consent to the purchase of car that
must be maintained out of a salary
of fourteen dollars a week. =
A few years ago a youth set out
to save enough money to get married
Now he has an ambition to get enough
ahead to make down payment on a
second hand car.
If boy is in trouble, look for the
automobile.

GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, Feb. 9.-Brisk rallies in
the wheat market today went hand
in hand with active buying OF future
deliveries of wheat and with wide
spread indications of improved de-
mand for flour. The wheat market
closed firm, one cent to ~ cent net
higher, May 17OB to 171,H and July
152 to 1929. Corn finished one cent
to IL cent up, oats l b to 13s cents
-advance and provisions varying from
20 cents decline to a rise of seven
cents.
In contrast with the strength
which, especially during the last part
of the day, developed in the wheat
market, was weakness that rgevailed
at the start Fresh declines at Liv-
erpool were the chief disturbing in
fluences, but aggressive purchasing
here for houses that yesterday were
conspicuous sellers gave a lift soon
to values. Meanwhile, reports of
better buying of flour were arriving
from Minneapolis, Omaha, st. Louis
and New York. Unfavorable crop
advices from western Kansas added to
the upward trend of the wheat mar
ket and so too did spreading opera
tions between Chicago ana Winnipeg.
Much of the new speculative buying
of wheat was apparently based or
current talk that bearish factors had
been discounted and that broader Eu>

rcpean demand was overdue, only
four cargoes of the total amount of
wheat which could arci1c at trans
Atlantic ports during the next two
weeks being still unsold. Another
stimulating iafluence was somewhat
firmer cash wheat t:ad;ng basis at
minneapolis, Omaa.t and Kansas City.
ON the other hand the cash trading
basis for red winter wheat in Chica-
go was to 2 cents lower, although
the market for hard winter was firm
Persistent buying of corn in small
lots attracted attention. 1t was point
ed out that the present visible sup
ply of corn is only about a quarter
million bushels larger than q year
ago, whereas the corn market is
about fifty cents under Last years
level. Oats demand enlarged but at
the start all deliveries established q
new low price record for the season

cite carriers, were the only features
of the rail list.
Commodity markets displayed q
firmer tone, wheat rallied more than
a cent a bushel on short covering.
Cotton closed four points net lower
to six points higher. Raw sugar ad-
vanced 1-32 of a cent a pound and
coffee futures moved up five to Fl
points.
Call money held steady at 51A per
cent, although outside loans" were
reported as low as five during the
afternoon. Banks are reported to
have called about $25,000,O0O addi-
tional in loans during the day. Time
money and commercial paper rates
were unchanged.
Foreign exchanges moved irregu-
larly lower. Demand sterling eased
slightly to around $4.S6 and French
francs sagged to new low level for
the year at 3.67 cents. The Canadian
dollar went to discount of 7-16 of
one per cent, also a new 1925 low.
Douglas daily dispatch., 1926-02-10

Heavy buying of American Can,
record for all time at SO4, rallied to-
days stock market after an early
period of irregularity which was
featured by the renewal of selling
pressure against the so, called flood
merger stocks. Trading was again
on a large scale, the days sales rum
ming above 100000 shares.
The recovery took place in the
face of the highest call money re-
newal rate since January 4. The stiff
fer rate was generally attributed to
the apparent hesitancy of some cour
try bankers in sending their surplus
funds here for investment in the col
lateral loan market, because of the
publication of brokerage loan figures
showing that more than $3,5OO,00O,oOG
had been employed here for that pur-
pose at the end of January.
Strength of American Can reflected
publication of the annual report,
showing net income of $16,390,056,
after charges and federal taxes, equi-
vaIent after preferred dividends to
$32.74 a share earned on the old com.
L
ed at 155 and then broke to 1882 in
further reflection of announcement
that the Postum Cereal company had
withdrawn it's bid of $185 share
for a majority interest in that COM
pany. Postum closed two points low
er at 11O% after selling as low as
1887. Ward Baking b. broke over
8 points to 6OB and then rallied to
SIS.
Formation of a new copper export
association stimulated activity in the
copper shares. American Smelling
led the advance by climbing over
points to. 142h and Anaconda, Calu-
met and Arizona and Utah advanced
a point or two.
Oils were under heavy action with
California Petroleum, Sinclair and
Standard Oil OF California in the fore
front of the advance. Sulphur, Sugar
and leather stocks also gave good
exhibitions of group strength.
Trading in the automotive issues
was featured by a jump of over five
points to a new high record at 505s
by Motormeter A. Jordan advanced
q point.
Heavy buying of "Katy" common,
which crossed Al to a new high rec
ord, and the strength of the anthra-
