Trade Body Official Reveals
Effect of Yield on Ecua.
dorean Imports.
By DAVID J. WILKIE.
Associated Press stan Writer.

DETROIT, August 14-Cocoa and
motor cars seemingly should represent
two extremes to the lay mind. To
Robert C. Graham, chairman Of the
Export Committee of the National Au-
tomobile Chamber of Commerce, how
ever, they are closely related, as are
other primary products Of certain cour-
tries in which the automobile industry
is seeking to further the use Of Ameri-
can-made cars.
Pointing out that the purchasing
power of the people of foreign coun-
tries depends to large extent on the
income they derive from the sale OF
their own products, Mr.. Graham ex-
plains that because of better prices now
pervau for cocoa produced in Ecuador
that country Is showing signs Of an i'm
proving demand for American-made
countKtes where some betterment has
been noted in the market for home
produced commodities.
Sees Gain in Exports.
A healthy fundamental situation and
the probability of a gradual upward
trend in exports is seen by Mr.. Graham
as the result of the gradual disposal of
stocks of cars overseas.
" IL
Graham said, "is fully aware of the
importance of the export business and
through the National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce is organizing
committees, which are made up Of ex-
port specialists to help solve the prob
lens of the various markets or to re-
wise practices and guiding data in ex-
p oanS1 transport throughout the
Total output for July will show q
marked falling off, but it is interesting
to note that despite the closing Of the
main plant of the Ford Motor Co. here
during most of last month, the COM
pany's world production dropped only
slightly as compared with the pre-
vious month. This was accomplished
by keeping assembly plants throughout
the country in operation, using up parts
manufactured before the shutdown.
The total July production of the Ford
Co., was 133,035 cars and trucks, only
Al ,493 fewer units than were produced
during June. Few of the factories, in
Guiding the Ford, are working on full
schedule time, and part time employ
ment continues to be the rule in most
Of the plants.
Price Reduction Rumored.
Perhaps no industry in the world is
as subject to rumor as Is the automo-
bile industry. One of the latest in cir
culation is that leading manufacturer
Of low-priced cars is planning a price
reduction. Efforts to get the manufac-
turer to affirm or deny the report have
been unsuccessful.
Meanwhile the Oakland Motor Car
Co., has announced a reduction in the
price of Oakland Fights and Pontiac
skies and the Hudson Motor Car Co.
has reduced the price of the Hudson
that new models are to be brought out
during the Winter.

condition this year; the cattle sup
ply is short, on the other hand the
demand for beef products is also
short. being influenced by the pre-
vailing low prices on other forn.s
of meat food which is bound to
have its effect with the housewife
when she comes to select her daily
requirements. So, if we are to hold
up the price levels of beef, we
should ''make the cattle good,' in
order that everybody handling the
produce, including the consumer.
will feel that he is getting his
moneys worth.
There ism t a chance of passing
the buck We may get away
with it the first time but the fell
low that merchandise the meat
must deliver the real thing. The

for itself. The old saying that the

to the live stock AMI meat business,
which is so intimately associated
from the grass roots 10 the table
that every part OF the industry
must hold up its end. If it fails,

Stocks Suffer
Another Break

NEW YORK. May 7.U.p)-Stocks
broke today and the majority closed
lower after several attempts had
been made to rally the list.
United States Steel led the down
turn, breaking below 1859, compared
with the previous close of l73. Its
various turns during the session
were followed by the majority of
stocks.
Several factors were involved in
days irregularity. The principal
one appeared to be 'he unwilling
ness of the leading financiers to
see another sharp advance get under
way.
On each bulge the market met
more stock than it could absorb,
and this action bore cut the theory
that bankers were aNerse to resu.nr-
tion of the uptrend.
Other unsettling items included .
gloomie routloOk on the steel bnsl-
ness with production falling off,
and precipitate breaks in Mahattan

The Texan Is
O. Henry Tale

Based on 0. Henry's story "a
Double DYED Deceiver", Para
mounts latest release "The Texan" ="
comes to Fox Imperial Theatre to-
night for a three nights stay.
Starring Gary Cooper, who made
a hit in the title role of "The Nir-
ginian," his new play gives him a
romantic role of equal opportunity
and he makes the most of it. Fay
Wray is seen in the leading femin-
inc role.
Henry lived in Texas for num-
Der of years and his intimate study
of the men and women with whom
he came in contact gave him mater
ial for ~ stories having their locale
in the Lone Star state. OF these
"A Double-Dyed Deceiver" is consid-
cred his best.
The play was presented on the
screen several years ago, before the
advent of talkies, with Jack Pick
ford in the leading role, The i'm
provement in pictures since that
time, and the opportunities present
ed by the perfection of sound re-
cording, make the present picture
entirely different from the original

There are too many thin cattle
coming on the market, as result
of actual or anticipated feed short
age. In the case of actual shortage
it is, to say the least, unfortunate
that these cattle should be put into
beef channels, and the industry
would be far better off they were
sent to feed.
In the case of anticipated short
age, it is best to use the feed TO
fatten as many as possible rather
than attempt to put little but not
enough flesh on all, because half
fat cattle don t dress well, putting
the packer up against a hard game,
with the result that he can't mer-
chandise the produce to advantage,
and naturally the packer feels that
he must buy them cheaper and that
is what makes the market prices.
We have always advocated and
still believe that the best practice
is to top out the herd and market
the fat stuff promptly. In ease of
short range, supplemental feed
should be used i'll order TO fatten
the bullock.
Feed prices this year are rela-
lively low, thus offering good OPP
portunity for profit in applying
our concentrates to make beef and
the use of supplemental feeds en-
ables us to get the best value out
Of dry range feed. This season s
relatively low grain and hay prices
offer an attractive proposition to
stoekmen and farmers who are IN
a position TO feed out thin and half
fat cattle in feed lots. Practical
cattle feeders fine that cattle which
have acquired certain degree of
flesh on dry grass put on further
finish with the greatest degree of
economy.
We are up against peculiar

REFRIGERATION IS
IMPORTANT FOR
PROPER HEALTH

The proper preservation of foods
today becomes an integral part of
the job of preserving health. The
scientific cold of electric refrigera-
tion kills the bacteria that spoil the
food. 1t keeps meats wholesome
milk sweet and salads crisp. And,
III addition, it cahnges the market
ing from an everyday drugery to a
twice a week adventure. Ruying,
too, becomes much more economical,
and precious hours of leisure are
granted the busy housewife, states
Erskme and Preble, distributors
of General Electric Refrigerators III
FL Centre.
To this important task the mod
ern scientific laboratories have now
contributed the simplest of ali elec-
Il ic refrigerators. One that is quiet
economical and extremely efficient.
Early in the twentieth century, a
French monk designed refrigera,
tion machine that was Theoretically
sealed and it is said that some Of
these machines are still running af-
ter % years of service without hav-
ing been rcfilled.
Tie General Electric Company
has developed Theoretically sealed
machine and now manufacture it as
the General Electric Refrigera-
tor. 1t is refined and simplified ana
has all the beauty of design made
possible by modern cabinet making.
Like the first machines. however.
the icing unit is hermetically sealed
and requires no oiling. 1t works au-
tomatically and is extremely quiet.
1t has no pipes, drains. belts or fans
and il can be installed in few
minutes without any plumbing or
wiring. 1t merely has to be plugges
into any convenient .outlet-as one
would an electric fan or vacuum

one to say cutting things. He is too
kind hearted.
Then after looking the field over for
few more days the Mayor and his
advisers came to the conclusion that
DR.. Charles S. Warner of Hartford
county, would do for Clerk Of the
Court of Appeals although this can
didate has had his eyes on the nomi-
nation for Comptroller. The man for
the latter place has not yet been pick
ed. The Broening people would like
to get ex-senator Lawrence B. Tow
ers of Caroline, but Mr.. Towers is
said to have no stomach for porting
over the figures in the Comptroller's
Office. He has plenty to keep him
busy in his canning houses and all
that, but he is said to be an expert
at vote getting. He has been marvel
at local elections in his own county.
It is conceded that the place should
go to the Eastern Shore for none of
the candidates already picked has an
Eastern Shore connection at all and
that there should be such connec-
ton is admitted all around. The East
ern Shoremen are prone to pick their
own people.
Richie Crowd Worried
By Mayors Strength
There is no concealing the fact that
the Richie people are very much
worried over the reception given the
Broening announcement and much
more over the success of the move to
get Mr.. Robb to run with the Mayor.
This strong combination was not ex-
pected, and to many it appears to be
a very good move for the Republicans.
A few weeks back such combination
would have been thought impossible
but now it is a reality. And not only
that but the Broening announcement
has been warmly received by many
Democrats who think he is the strong
est Republican available at this time.
So at this writing the Richie hackers
are straining every nerve to find a
way to Offset the Broening strategy.
Up to the very hour of the Broen-
ing announcement the hackers of H.
Webster Smith were very active.
They thought a dark horse the best
in the circumstances and pointed to
the ability of Mr.. Smith as a cam
paigner and also did not fail to men
ton the fact that he could provide a
handsome campaign fund without
having to do any begging.
But Mr.. Smith was known to few.
It was recalled that a few years back
he made a strenuous effort to prevent
the appointment of Morris A. Soper
to the Federal Bench and Of course
this fact di dnot help him in his as
piration to get the backing of State
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1930-06-26

leaders Of his party, In fact as a dark
horse he was in some respects entirely
too dark. So few people knew him or
know him even now.
And then Mr.. Smith is friend of
the Mayor and he let it be known that
he would not run against Mayor
Broening. He waited and waited to see
what the Mayor would do until the
Mayor did it. And then Mr.. Smith
went back to his law books but is ex-
pected to show his mettle in the cam
paign and bawl out the Democrats.
