The big difference is that the sale of

Farmers Union Terminal
Assn. Sells It's Properties

st. Paul-By the sale of its
properties to the Farmers Nat
ional Grain corporation, the Far
mers Union Terminal association
has placed the elevators and the
farmer members thereof in a
strong financial position, the
associations weekly %agricultur-
al review says.
"As a result of the Farmers Nat
ional taking over the grain handling
of the Farmers Union and other CO.
operative marketing groups, Nj. w.
Thatcher, general manager of the
association, said, "the field represen-
tatives now are enabled to carry on
field work without being hampered
by the restrictions of boards of trade
and grain chambers of commerce.
The Farmers Union will continue
its work of bringing farmers into
the organized cooperative marketing
movement. However, it has now
now thrown off the shakes of hav-
ing to obey rules and regulations
which heve been set up by the priv
ate grain trade. 1t no longer is re-
quired to be at the mercy of bonding
and insurance companies, no matter
how friendly their services have
been, as the Farmers National is
now taking care of the financing and
handling Of the movement of grain
from the point of origin at country
points to the terminal markets of
the nation.
The regional cooperative mar
keting associations now are in
a position to help organize cooper
alive elevator organizations at count
ry points, assisting the farmers in
organizing so that their require
ments for assistance from the Far
mers National are acceptable, and
starting the machiners for the hand
ling of their products from the
country points to the terminal. One
thing which is required, however, is.
that there be a sufficient volume of
grain available at country points
where new associations are formed
to make the operation of a local plant
profitable"

When F o'clock struck and the clerks half holiday became effective there was evidence of enthusiastic relief on the part of the hundreds the recess affected. There was a general rush for the shore, country and nearby summer resorts and camps. Whata day!
 June 20th's record of 97 was not reached until o'clock in the afternoon. There was not a sem blance of a natural breeze to tenn per the heated air, but notwith- standing this fact construction crews carried on in many projects and no prostrations were reported to either the hospitals or the po- lice.
 The streets of the business sec tions of the city were practically deserted this afternoon. And for the hundreds who managed to ef- feet a getaway in search for elu- sive relief there were thousands who remained at home and "un- dercover" to escape burning up.
 Even the iceman and soda foun- tain specialists perspired in fren- zied efforts to keep others cool and happy.

New Orleans, July 2S-(UP) -- A new cotton crop, estimated al nearly 14,000,000 bales, the aver age of which cost IA cents a pound to raise and which will sell fol slightly more than nine cents, ha: begun to pour into American mar kets.

 Most of the crop will he dumped on 8 glutted market. Cooperative associations and pools believe planters will sustain vital losses.
 They say that for want of cash to meet pressing debts, the farmer will be forced to accept a low mar- ket valuation instead of holding for better price.
 The estimate of five cents a pound loss was evolved by the Georgia State College of Agricul- ture in a survey covering five year period.

 Farmers blame spectators, trad CTS and the government which fostered the farm board and the Cotton Cooperative asso- citation. Traders charge that the farmers refusal to help themselves is responsible for their plight.

New York, July 2S.-(UP).- Trading on the stock exchange logged along to-day neck and neck with the market of yesterday. Prices moved within a point range in 1 nearly all issues and interest was entirely lacking.
 There were d few bright spots and a few weak features, but the widest gain was ? Is points in Eastman Kodak which reached I1411-8 and the widest decline in Childs company which lost 1-2 points to a new low at 16 1-2 on fears of dividend reduction. Motor shares were firm, featured | by Chrysler which rose 3-4 to 23 1-2 and Mack Trucks up 1 3-8 at 33. General Motors held around the previous close of 37 3-S, Auburn at one time was driven down to Al 3-4. Around ? D. m., however, it rallied to 145 1-2 where it was off 3-4 from the previous close.
 The leading issues were moving in a narrow range. Steel Comm on ranged between 92 7-S and 9l 3-4. Around the end of the first hour It was at 92 3-S, unchanged from the previous close. At that time, case was at 6S IS off 3-4; American Can 98 5-S off IA; and General Electric Al IA up 3-4.
 Standard Oil of New Jersey held a gain of nearly a point in firm Oil section. Utilities registered fractional gains. Rails rallied to- around the previous close from early declines.
 For a time American wooden preferred met buying that sent 1t to 35 5-S. However, it reacted to 34 3-4 O. 1-2 later in the day. De- claration of the regular dividend on Studebaker Common sent that issue mp 12 point to IS 6-S.

 Two questions to come up, were:
 l. Dividend on common stock, now $7 annually. It was said this would be reduced to s or perhaps $4 annually.
 2. Wages and salaries of Steel corporation employees. Wall street has circulated stories pur- porting to come from authentic sources that the wage question would be brought up after the di- vidend had been pared down so that the corporation would he in a position to compete with inde- pendent operators many of whom have made wage cuts.

And it seems that MT Smith paid for the chickens with 8 check of $15 pay able at the Citizens s-Manufacturers' bank. He received plenty of change back after settling for the costs of the "chicks."
 The same operation was per- formed in another meat market near the corner of Baldwin and Luke streets. Chickens were order ed for a party, $15 check pre- sented and cashed and returned marked IN. G." The police were informed to-day of MT Smiths &C., tions.
 From now on all Smiths, who are strangers to the good merchants on Washington Hill will pay cash. Even our good friend "AP" unless accompanied by Mayor Frank Hayes or Chairman John H. Crary, will be obliged to produce satisfac- tory credentials.

ROtarians Hear Sea Scout Who Made Trip With
 Byrd
100 YOUNGSTERS THERE

Thrilling episodes of the Byrd Antarctic expedition were de- scribed at the meeting of the Ro- tary club at the Elton to-day by Paul Siple, sea scout representa- tive on the trip. It was boys day and about 100 youngsters were guests.
 He stated that land was sighted on Christmas day, 1928, after a weary four month journey. "I was first sailor, then a dog sled driver, a taxidermist and jack of all trades" he said.
 The wall of ice, as high as 200 and 300 feet, formed a barrier. This wall is in the ocean as far as 1000 feet in depth.
 Two ships were used. The wood- en one had bow thirteen feet in thickness and the sides were three feet thick, he stated. The metal one, while one would think it stronger, would have buckled in like a tin can if it had attempted to penetrate the ice.
 The water used in the camp was accumulated by melting snow in fifty gallon container in back of the huge coal range in the cook shack.
