| ASKED TOSET new
DATES FOR hINOT
International President Not Able
to Attend May z7-25, Says !
Message to Strauss

A movement to change the dates of
the district Lions conference at
Minot was reported to the club at to-
days luncheon by DR.. g. b. Strauss,
the president. The matter was
preached in communication from
the district governor, the president
said. In explanation, the message
said that Ben Ruffin, the interration-
al president. can not be In attend
ance May 27-28. the dates set. May
1924 were suggested as convenient
for the head Of the organization, from
Richmond, Virginia. I
DR.. Strauss said he had, in reply.
explained the advantages Of tho dates
set, as affording q weekend trip for
Lions from here and other nearby
points to Minot, but that the North
Dakota Lions would not like to hold
the convention without President
Ruffin being present. SO he left the
whole matter to the judgment and
discretion Of the district governor, he
reported.
School Wants Lions Show
Dr.. Strauss said the various stunts
bf the Lions show, last Monday night,
had made such an impression that
the Indian school has asked for rep
etition Of the program there. He
suggested that the various particle
pants arrange to visit the school some
Sunday.
The talk OF the day was by Milton
K. Higgins, Of Mandan. who spoke on
law enforcement. It was an analysis
of too much legislation. Of enacting
laws thAt divide the people almost
equally-and Intensely ct that, aid
which, therefore, are bound to arouse
much violation-and Of allowing laws
to stand after conditions no longer
call for such statutes.
A law very generally broken, he
said, is the speed law prescribing IS
miles an hour. Nobody hardly stops
to think Of that limit, he said, and
the very best Of citizens break it. In
case Of illness or accident such vio-
lation would be justified, he said. He
felt the law should wisely limit the
use of the highways to such speed Is
was consistent with safety.
Public Attitude Important
II there is to be real enforcement
he said, 1t is the attitude of the pub
lie that is important. It must want
such cleaning up. It must be willing
to testify. It must be willing to do
jury service, whereas, men best quail
flied now usually have plea for be-
ing excused from service. because Of
their private business.
It is the inclination of the public
to shirk, he said, that forces prose.
cutors to bring in outsiders to spot
| violations. Spies are detested every.
where. This form Of cleanup, there.
tore, usually embitters the commun.
ity, Mr.. Higgins said. He said al
! this would be changed when the PEG.
pie Of the community take the same
pride in their services to the court!
as they would In military service fol

COTTON MARKET
TRADE ACTIVE

NEW ORLEANS, April 13.-(P-
Trading was fairly active on the
cotton market today with the gen.
eral trend of prices upward in the
face of realizing that developed on
the bulges.
Larger than expected consump-
ton by domestic mills during
March and prospects for unfavor-
able weather over the weekend,
we're the stimulating factors, but
were offset by disappointing statis-
tics from the British board of trade
and the usual weekend profit
taking. Liverpool cables also were
considerably lower than due.
July, which closed yesterday at
1898 and closed at 1921, or four
points net higher for the day. The
general market closed steady at net
gains OF from two to eight points.
Profit-taking and some selling on
the British board Of trade returns
for March caused July to ease to
1889, and October to 1875. The
dip attracted trade buying and in
duced covering by shorts owing to
the unfavorable weather prospects
for over the week end and prices
gradually rallied until July reach
ed 1898 and October 1881, or IL
points up from the closing levels of
the previous day.
July closed at 1891, October 1875,
and May 1888, two to five points
net higher for the day, while De-
cember showed s points up.
Port receipts 1905; for season

MOVEMENT LAST
WEEK LIGHTER
Rains Monday Night Delay
Harvesting; Cabbage
Price Higher
BY w. d. o
II. S. Market News Service


Vegetable and fruit shipments
from the Lower Rio Grande Valley
during the past week were lighter
on account Of the rains Monday
night which delayed harvesting. APP
proximately 975 ears Of all commod-
tiles were shipped as compared with
more than 1900 cars during the
previous week. Wednesday was the
lightest day with only IS cars for
warded.
Among the leading commodities
reported for the week were 189 ears
Of cabbage, 116 carrots, 50 beets,
116 beets and carrots, $50 potatoes,
50 green beans, So onions and 224
mixed vegetables. The shipments to
date this season as reported Satur-
day morning were 1929 cars of fruit,
1891 vegetables, or a total of 1920
cars. Shipments to the same date
last eason were 1146 fruit, 1892
vegetables, or a total Of 14,748 cars.
The movement of carrots and
beets continues to be comparatively
heavy, and promises to hold on at
the present rate until the end of
the month. The demand for these
commodities has been steady, and
little change in prices has been
noted. Shippers report an in
creased demand for mixed cars Of
beets and carrots.
Cabbage has registered slightly
higher prices as a result Of greatly
reduced shipments, some points
paying as high as $500 per ton to
growers. Wird order carlot sales
the latter part of the week we're re-
ported at $14.00 per ton, as COM
pared with $1,000 a week ago. A wide
range in quality makes heavy Gull
ing necessary.
Demand for new potatoes has
been active, most shippers being I'M
able to fill orders. The price to
growers has been advanced from
$500 to SIS per hundred pounds,
with a corresponding increase in
carlot prices which are now $3.50

digging it is expected that the peak
Of the movement will be reached

Green beans have likewise been

weather has affected the shipping
quality to such an extent that most
shippers will handle them only for
the account of the growers. Most
sales Of carloads and lots in mixed
cars have been made at unchanged
prices, or on the basis Of $500 per
busheI hamper F. o. 3. cash track
and S2.25 usual terms. Prices to
growers have been around SITS per
hamper.
The interest in onions has shifted
from Raymondville to the Laredo
and Winter Garden districts. 1t is
estimated that Is to 80 cars remain
to be shipped from the Raymond
vile section. Under favorable
weather and market condition 5 to
10 cars daily are ready to nov
from the Corpus Christi Robstown
section. Rains were general over
South Texas Monday night, with
additional local showers in the
onion districts Friday. with the re-
suit of the onion shipments being
delayed from three to five days.
Prices have held about steady at
$1.40-1.50 per crate for yellow Ber-
mudas and $1.75-2.00 for Crystal

up about 3 points more to q new

FARM AID Is
WHEAT BOOST
Messages From Washington
Cause Advance in Spite
Of Other Bearish News

CHICAGO, April 13.-(P-Wheat
traders went rough-shod today oye
anything concerning supply and
demand, giving heed solely to farm
relief doings at Washington. Prices
for wheat made a decided advance
as a result, but late selling to real
ize profits on the bulge in the mar
ket led to a reaction as the day
drew to an end.
Closing quotations on wheat were
unsettled, 3-8c to 7-8c a bushel net
higher. Corn finished at 5-8c de-
cline to 1-2c gain, oats LAC off to
3-8@1-2c up, and provisions a
shade to Csc down.
At first, wheat values here show
ed an uncertain trend, owing to the
fact that Liverpool prices were low
er than had been looked for, and
that with n exception the general
run of news today was bearish. A
steadily upward turn to the market
followed. as messages were. receiv-
ed telling of conferences between
legislators and President Hoover
and other administration officials.
differences became general here
that any difficulty about proposed
enactments for farm relief were be-
ing ironed out rapidly.
Aside from farm relief, the prin-
cipal news at hand was that ex-
port call today for wheat from
North America continued slack, al
though Winnipeg dispatches said
houses with export connections
were heavy buyers of October wheat
at Winnipeg.
Corn had a firm undertone, and
displayed sympathy with wheat
strength, but all upturns in corn
values led to prompt heavy profit
taking sales. Eastern shipping de-
mands for corn was fairly good, and
country offerings small.
Provisions lacked support. not
withstanding that hog values were
about steady.

With the possibility Of further
money stringency early next week,
