DECREASE
EXPECTED TO
, BRING SELLING
Business Recess Welcomed
by Traders; Rapid Raise
Indicated.
BY ELMER G. WALLER,
United Press Financial Editor

NEW YORK, March 23.-Wall
Street has some disappointing news
to assimilate when it returns to
regular business next Monday and
traders are looking forward to a
period of cautious readjustment.
The New York federal reserve
bank retained it's 5 per cent re-
discount rate Thursday. This was
favorable factor but was more than
Offset by adecline of only Si44,000,-
900 in brokerage loans when it vas
expected that a contraction Of from
Sl66, 1000 900, last weeks rise, to $780,
600 might occur.
II was expected that the small
loan decrease would bring in large
number of selling orders over the
good Friday Holiday and many were
looking for a declining market Mon
day All financial markets Of the
country and most Of the commodity
markets were closed today. The
stock exchange and curb here, as
well as European markets, will re-
main closed until Monday, while the
Chicago board of trade and ali live
stock markets will reopen Saturday
for the short session.
Traders Welcome Holiday
The business recess was welcomed
by traders who had worried through
the swift changes this week, pre-
cipitated by Tuesdays market
break and 20 per cent money, and
followed by an astonishing recovery
which set in late Tuesday and con-
tinued through Thursday.
It was pointed out that the
market has recovered some -
points in the average for thirty
representative industrials in this
spirited rally of Wednesday and
Thursday. That was considered too
rapid a comeback just as the decline
was apparently overdOne.
InaSmuch as the rise in loans of
week ago was not wiped out, the
street was looking for further pres
sure from the federal reserve board.
The board is convinced that the col
lateral loan total must be curtailed
so that business can borrow more
freely at more reasonable rates. The
method of contracting the huge
total of nearly six billion dollars is
to force the small margain holders
TO sell to those who carry stocks on
cash.

Dovie thought suddenly of a story
she had heard Of a man who sold
his home and searched the world
for wealth and when he was an old
man learned that his back yard had
been discovered 10 be a great dia-
mond mine. She didn't remember
where she had heard 10, but IL
struck her with considerable force.
That is just what she had done.
Dovie flung herself out OF the
room and locked herself into her
own bedroom. Anything to get
away from her mother. with her
rasping voice and her bitter tongue
and always being reminded that ev-
cry bad break the Jansen family
ever had was because her mother
vas sacrificing for her. AT times
she did have a little feeling for
the woman who brought her into
the world. but at odd moments
only. when on rare occasions things
went smoothly for a time.
Mamma Jansen went to her own
room and decided she had a severe
headache. She put ice in a bag
for her head and took q headache
tablet. Then she lay down to think.
It was a wild idea! But neces-
sity was necessity. And Just as
suddenly a. Mrs. Jansen's headache
had appeared it disappeared. She
rose hurriedly and started to dress.
There would be just enough time
to get down to Kent's office before
he left! She would drive the car
and let him think she drove in TO
have a mechanic go over II because
1t hadn't been driven for a few
months.
Selecting her dress with especial
care. d~iscarding the later Partisan
models for a costume becomingly
motherly. Mrs. Jansen, dressed In
soft gray. knocked on her daugh-
ter's door.
Don't bother mel" Dovie called
loudly.
Don't bother mel" Dovie called
loudly.
I'm going out for a little willis,
dear" her mother informed her,
excitement in her voice. I'll tell
you about II when I come back"
Don't make a bigger fool OF
yourself than you can help" was
her daughters ungracious reply.
Kent saw Mrs. Jansen driving in
as he stood in the salesroom dem
onstrating a car to a customer. But
he didn't have time to duck. Mrs.
Jansen bore down upon him with
arms outstretched.
Kent. my boy, I'm so glad TO
see you"
She has her nerve. he thought
to himself. but held out his hand.

TEXAS DAILY PRESS LEAGUE
Foreign Advertising Representatives
Water Application Called Menace

Irrigation interests see a real menace to the continu-
ed prosperity Of the Valley in the application Of ;. T.
Franklin Of Ednburg for permission to divert sui
flcient water from the Rio Grande to supply a tract
Of more than $1,000 acres.
Existing irrigation systems Of the section have join
ed in opposing the applications before the Texas
board Of water engineers.
Ten thousand farmers Of the Rio Grande valley
have been urged TO sign petitions to the engineers
asking that the permit be denied.
NOW Cameron county commissioners are on record
in a resolution addressed to the state board opposing
granting Of the application.
There is no lack Of water, competent engineers VINO
have made careful surveys declare, but storage dams
are necessary before more land is brought under cul-
tivation. Until such time as storage is provided u
would be unwise to greatly increase the area now I'M
der canals. these authorities say.
There are at present something less than 100000
acres OF land under the canals of the irrigation sys-
TENS along the lower reaches OF the Rio Grande. To
add another $4,000 acres would require lifting OF APP
proximately one-fifth more water from the river ana
expert counsel Of the present districts say II cannot
be done safely.
There is no provision in the application OF FRANK
lin for the storage of flood waters these engineers
saw. If there were, the application would be seen IN
an entirely different light. There is sufficient water
finding its way to the sea to irrigate every acre Of
tillable land along both banks Of the river, i proper
control works and storage facilities are Installed,
engineers agree.
In time an agreement is going to be reached with
Mexico concerning the division Of tn ewaters Of the
International stream, storage dams will be built and
huge storage basins formed.
When this is done the application Of any person
for water will receive the support Of all applicants.
Until it is done districts now operating feel they are
entitled TO protection by reason Of prior use.
The application of Franklin is said to De based on
a presentation made several years ago. But argue
the present operators Of irrigation WORKS 4 granting
NJ q hermit ON the strength Of a former presentation
endanRers prior systems, the permit should not be
granted.
The ease seems destined to have an important bear
mig on the future Of irrigation in the Valley.

Speaking of Appropriations

Under the big dome it is known there exists a all
ference Of sll6O3,6l3 between the senate and house
n aggregate amounts proposed to be appropriated
To be exact. the senate would appropriate s57'7llol3
and the house SAC, LOT. 400. Texas Is a fast growing
commonwealth. 1t is an expanding commonwealth.
Its population is increasing at a rapid rate En-
ro,,ment in the public schools is increasing by leaps
and bounds. Registrations at the university and al
other institutions Of higher learning tell the same
story. Texas is a very wealthy state. There shoulo

She was a little taken aback.
But she did not lose her poiSe.

the car gone over and see YOU for

Kent excused himself reluctantly
and turned his customer over to
one Of the statesmen. He knew he

he led her into the office and
proffered a chair.
For a moment Mrs. Jansen look
cd at Kent. twisting her handker-
chief nervously before she plunged.

come in to see you and find out

What difference does II make

She liked that.

had to come to you for her sake
and ask If YOU wouldn't come over
for Just a few minutes this evening
and let her explain"
There IS nothing to explain"
Kent said in a tone that should
have terminated the interview. but
Mrs. Jansen hung on desDeratelv.
"Oh. yes there Isl She is my lit
tie girl-and I can't sec her suffer
any more without seeing YOU and
having a chance to tel her side
OF the story. I am a mother-you
don't understand"
Really. / don't see what can be
done about il now" Kent answered
icily, and started up. II was I'M
pleasant.
MY dear boy. Of course I am not
asking you to do anything about IL.
OF course that is out Of the ques-
ton. I am lust asking you to re-
lieve my child's anxiety. She has

Kent was suddenly touched. His
face softened a little. Maybe Dovie
did care a little. after all. He hated
himself for weakening, and his
manner was uncertain as he ran
his hand nervousiy through his
curly hair.
Mrs. Jansen's voice was soft and
sad.
Kent. dear. you don't know what
II has cost poor Dovie to come back
TO this little town and face all
these people after what she has
done! She came back Just espe-
cially to see you. I don't believe
she can ever stand TO 90 back to
the count. The minute she made
that fool marriage she was like a
girl in a dream-stunned. She
came all this way-you owe 1t to
her-she. she loves you"
All the old longing came over
Kent again. Dovie-the only girl
he had eve given a thought-came
back all the way from Paris to ask
his forgiveness. Just to ask MS
forgiveness. 1t was too much. And
Kent vas young.
Mrs. Jansen left the Johns Motor
company. with its big salesroom. its
garage and its smart offices. her
face wreathed in smiles. She turn

Mamma Jansen paced the library
floor. biting her nails and smoking
one cigarette after another waiting
for Dovie to return from her visit
to Vivian.
She leaped for her as she came
in the door.
"Oh, honey, how did everything
go?"
Dovie flung herself into a chair
and mamma could see that things
hadn't gone any too we'll.
Dovic exploded:

Speaking of Beet Sugar

Republican congressional leaders say that the in
creased tariff on sugar opens the way for much low
nrofit wheatland to be seeded to sugar beets and for
beets to take a prominent place in crop rotations gen.
orally. They say there are about 100000 acres of sugar
beets in the United States and some estimates indi-
cate the present estimates may be trebled." Sen. Reed
smoot Of Utah is the chief apostle Of the beet sugar
interest in the United States. This is appropriate.
Early Mormon pioneers Of Utah established the beet
sugar industry and the first beet sugar mill in the
west was built in the city Of the Saints.
