India and domestic Winter crop territory

some damage from freezing and thaW-

afterward held near the initial figures.
Corn opened unchanged to n up, and
subsequently continued firm.
Too much rain in Argentina and too
little over India had . strengthening
effect on Liverpool wheat quotations
and also influenced the market here.
Punjaub Province, the largest wheat pro-
-ducing section of India, confirmed re-
ports Of its urgent need Of moisture
and Of acreage curtailed nearly per

relief for wheat in United States dry
areas was negligible.
Low temperatures likely 70 stimulate
demand from feeders encouraged buy

The farmer was almost the firse

1T Il the history Of bad times that
those industries which are hit first are
the first to recover. It Is also part Of
this history that the farm Is one of bhe

the farm Is among the first TO feel IL.
Some day We viii learn how TO deal
with these up-and-down swings in BUSH

Of trade. When we push business up
too high these laws invariably result in

the automobile show season now in
progress in Distribution centers through
out the country the makers are to be
confronted by period Of intensive
competition In which the 1881 models,
designed TO At existing conditions, viii
be pitted against each other.
This years competitive position win
resolve itself into q contest among the
lower priced makes for existing buSl-
ness, with the announcement Of Ford
price cuts marking the kickoff in the
struggle. At present the lowest-priced
cars In the Ford and Chevrolet class are
getting larger share Of orders than in
normal times, largely due to price app
peal, which has become stronger with
the advance Of the season.
Ford Production.
Ford last year was credited with pro-
duction Of 100000 cars, estimated at
"a per cent OF the tndustrys output.
Although his volume was less last wear
than in 1870, his proportion of the total
rose from IS TO ~ per cent. One Of the
main factors IN his gain was low price,
and to meet In his competitors reScaled
their offerings.
The result was seen when Ford price
cuts were announced ranging I'D 70 s46
on cars and trucks. Edsel Ford, presi-
dent Of the company, said In formal
statement:
Reports we have received from our
branches and dealers throughout the
world lead us to believe the automobile
business will show q steady improves

Ford now faces Transformed lineup
Of not only four but six cylinder makes,
al OF which are featuring 1891 improve
ments coupled with prices at rock

Trade ReQuirementa
As trade requirements win be largely
confined to cars for replacement during
the remainder Of the Winter, the real
brunt Of the competitive stress Is rot
likely TO be felt until the middle OF
March, when al companies are to make
their real sales drive. In 1t General
Motors, as represented by the 1881
Chevrolet and Pontiac, with OldsnchiIs
now listed In the lower-priced range,

with Essex, from the Hudson plant All

This week Detroit and Boston, two Of
the vital distribution centers, are stag
ing their annual exhibitions. In these
cities and In Chicago, where the second
national show Of the year begins one
week from now, large orders are usually
placed by distributors. which should
mean substantially larger schedules for
the second quarter.

One time. I read, I don't know where, very unbeautiful descrip- tion of a complex. It was by one of the leading psychiatrists, so it may be taken seriously.
 He said that complex was like a dead dog thrown into pool. In time he would affect the whole love- ly water. Sometimes by skillful maneuvering he could be fished out quickly-more often not. If the pool were deep and he couldn't be found, there he stayed.
 The way to keep the pool sweet is to keep out the dogs. So we in- fer that the way to keep develop ing character untouched is to keep out complexes.
 Children cannot keep out their own complexes. Nothing is so silly as for parent to say, Brace up! You are too sensitive. Grow thick skin."
 How are they to grow thick skin when they don't know how?
 Now there is not room to emu merate all the contributory causes of inferiority. So I shall merely cite one instance.
 Millard's ears stuck out. They still stick out. They always will. But they don't hurt their owner one bit. He is nice-looking boy.
 Her Pride Struck
 If Willard had had strawberry mark on his back covered by his clothes, his mother would have for gotten it. But Millard's poor ears hit directly at her pride and as a result she cannot let him alone.

 Sleep on your side, darling, and be sure your ear is flat under your head"
 John, don't you think our boys ears are improving? Mrs Duff said she thought they were, but I can't be sure.
 T met Lyda Jones and her son to-day. A fine looking boy, and such a wonderful head!"
 Willard doesn't say a word. He seems quite indifferent to his ears. But never mind-they are doing more than. affect his looks-they are hearing every little word said about them and storing them away in some convolution for future tor ment-and if the truth be known, present humiliation.
 The boy is getting the impression slowly but surely that he is terribly different. And children magnify things outrageously.
 Before he became self-conscious, indeed when he was very young baby. his ears could have been nice ly managed. But the little pitcher grew. and why should he pay a cruel penalty now to satisfy his mothers hurt feelings? What are ears or noses anyway? Nothing whatso- ever. But feelings are, and think it is A shame.

NANCY PAGE Even Small Girls are Helped by Visits Away from Home
 By Florence La Ganke.

Joan was the most excited young
 ster alive. She was going to spend the week end with her beloved Aunt Mona. It is quite true that Mona
 was not really her aunt, but life
 long friend of Nancy's. She was en- ployed in a down town bank. Her
 family lived in another town so she
 had her own apartment. It was to this apartment that Joan was go- ing. Aunt Mona came for her at three o'clock on Saturday afternoon.
 Joan had her small bag packed at nine o'clock that morning. When it came time to say goodbye" her
 small cousin Peter was on hand.
 Aunt Nancy bade her goodbye in grown-up fashion with never so
 humiliating command as: "Now be
 a good girl and don't bother Aunt Nona." No indede, Nancy knew bet
 ter than that. She treated the trip
 casually and was amused to see how we'll Joan responded.
 Aunt Nancy had decided that her
 niece was getting fed up with her
 own ho Lsehold, bored with her sur
 roundings. She knew what short trip did to change her own point of view. Why wouldn't the same thing work with six-year-old?
 Once arrived, Joan made a num-
 Der of rather derogatory comments on the small apartment, but Mona
 made no comment. She put Joan to work setting table, helping with
 dishes. Later they sat before the fireplace while Aunt Mona read a
 story. Then Joan went to bed. Sun day was a day, of great delight. At
 seven o'clock Mona took her home.
 The next day Nancy and Mona had a telephone conversation. You sure ly did her a world of good. She came home with new point of view. She liked us all better, thought more appreciatively of her own bed and has done nothing but tell us
 what a good time she had. She hopes you will ask her again." Mona grinned, You know, I think I will, Nancy, she was good for me, too. She gave me a new point of view on my own possessions
