BRITISH EXPORTS
TOTAL Il PER CENT
London Expert Gives Position
of Empire in World
Trade.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, June 13.-Great Britain's
share in the world export trade in 1927
was IL per cent, Sir Philip Cunlifie-
Lister, president of the Board of Trade,
said last night in introducing his de-
partment's estimates in the House OF
Commons. This was 2 per cent less
than in 1913 In the same period the
European share of the world trade
shrank from 81 per cent to 50 per cent.
There was an obviously increasing
market In South America, he said, par
ticularly in the Argentine, TO which
the exports for the first three months
Of 1928 were so per cent higher than
the exports TO that country for 1924.
Despite the high tariffs existing in the
United States, there was also very
great opportunity there for increased
sales.
Sir Philip again urged the value Of
combination by British firms in selling
to other countries, particularly where
there was competition In selling the
same goods. like steel products. He
said that Britain had obtained 55l2
per cent Of the worlds Shipbuilding con-
tracts. One Of the new ships win af-
ford an opportunity for experiment on
large scale in the use of pulverized
fuel.
The output of motor vehicles for 1897
was 100000, showing an increase Of
77.OO0 over the output for 1924. The
figures for last year did not include cars
which were only assembled In Britain.

FOURTHDEATHLA|D
TO BANK ROBBERS
Assistant Cashiers Body Be-
Iieved Found in Abandoned
Shack.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LIBERAL, Kans., June 13.--Discovery
of the body of a man in an abandoned
shack near here today left four des-
peradoes. who recently robbed a bank
at Lamar, Colo, credited with fourth
murder.
The body was identified as that o.
e. A. KeSsinger assistant cashier of tn,
First National Bank of Lamar. He was
abducted by the robbers May 90 last
when they fed with large amount of
loot after killing A. N. Parrish. president
of the bank, and his son. John Parrish,
the cashier.
Located in the bad lands of western
Kansas, the shack apparently had not
been searched by hundreds of posse
men who patrolled parts of four States
for several days after the robbery.
While there were suggestions that the
body may have been placed In the hut
recently, this theory, generally was
secuted.
A schoolgirl member of a picnic party
found the body yesterday. The man
had been shot to death, apparently more
than two weeks ago. A rusty pistol
lay on the floor. naturalization was
ring and hunting license belonging to
Kessinger However. authorities decid-
ed 1t would be necessary to summon
relatives of the missing cashier before
positive identity Of the body could be
announced. Members of his family are
en- route.
Although posses, aided by airplanes,
searched parts Of Colorado, Kansas, Me-
braSka and Oklahoma they failed to
locate the fugitives. The robbers OBJ
tanned about $4,000 In cash and $76,-
900 In bonds.

E. ]. Meinhardi, of Chicago, the

21st, from 900 A. NJ to 500 P. M

fectly, but contracts the opening in
10 days on the average case usu-
ally giving instantaneous relief
withstanding all strain regardless Of
the size or location of the Rupture.
CAUTION-DO not expose your
self to the danger Of wearing old
style trusses with understands.
These trusses usually place the pad
on the lump and not ON the rupture
opening. This often causes strangu-
latiOn which usually necessitates an
immediate surgical operation or re-
suits in sudden death.

Agricultural Notes
Replant or Thicken
The Damaged Alfalfa

Replant or Thicker
The Damaged Alfalfa
Stands of alfalfa in southeastern
Minnesota which suffered from
winter killing until they are very
thin or at least spotted should
either be plowed up and reseeied
or thickened by sowing more seed,
says C. o. Rost of the division Of
soils of the University of Mime
sofa. "The sure way of getting a
good stand" he says, els to pillow
the field and reseed it. Where
thickening is attempted the fields
should be thoroughly disked or
spring toothed, making no effort to
save the plants that were left. Well
established alfalfa plants are not
easily killed and the field should
be worked until it has the appear
ance of having been plowed. It
should then be narrowed a suffic-
lent number of times to smooth it
and to pack the soil down. Where
ever a cultipacker or roller is avail
able, it should be used to get firm
seeded.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1928-07-12

"The proper time to work up the
field should be Immediately after
the first cutting. The best time
for the first cutting would be i'm
mediately following a good rain if
it comes about haying time. With
the hay removed, the fields can be
worked up, the seeded prepared,
and the seed sown. It will not be
necessary to inoculate the seed"
DR.. Rost points out that the
winter of 1856 was especially
hard on alfalfa. There was then
span of II years during which
there was very little winter killing
with the possible exception OF the
winter of 1925-26 when fields cut
three times suffered some losses.
As alfalfa is one of the best hay
crops grown, he is hopeful that
these occasional seasons when kill
ing takes place will not discourage
farmers from growing it.

TELEvISION FOR ALL

Broadcasting of televsion programs, whereby
action pictures as well as sound will entertain and
instruct the radio audience, is promised for the
coming fall, if present plans mature.
1t is said that the manufacture of televsion
receivers will be begun soon, and that these will be
so constructed that they may be plugged into ordi
nary radio sets now in use Later, if the demand
warrants, complete broadcast and television re-
ceiver will be placed on the market.
Thus it appears that the time is not far distant
when one may sit at home and not only hear, but
see motion pictures of performers hundreds of miles
away. And this is but one of the amazing develop
ments in applied science which are going on ali
around u.s.
