witness, Baker broke down and wept
when first asked to tell why he fired
on his wife in their basement apart
ment at BOT o street. He later regained
his composure and said he remembered
little of what happened Immediately
before the shooting because he was so
excited.

while. Baker testified he went home
late one afternoon and found his wife
there. He asked her, he related, to
cook dinner for his three children. He
said she refused, referring to their chill
dren as "brats" and telling him he was

Three alfalfa meetings were held in

Demonstrations were made at the

INCREASE IN GRAIN
STORAGE CAPACITY
AT MARTS REPORTED
Facilities for Handling 10000
900 More Bushels Put
Into Use

Washington, May 9.-R-An in
crease Of more than 20, 900 900 bushels
In storage capacity at II Of the coun-
try's largest grain markets was re-
ported Saturday by the agriculture
department.
Concern has been expressed that
insufficient storage space would be
available July l when this years
large crop moves into the market in
view of the large grain stocks held
by the Grain Sterilization corpor-
alton and other agencies.
The department said a survey
showed a rated storage capacity Of
343, 595, 900 bushels April ! at these II
markets as compared with sol 1858, 900
July l. Despite this increase, how
ever, the stocks of grain In store were
said to have also increased with the
result that the untitled space avail
able on May l was approximately the
same as that Of q year ago.
The grain sterilization corporation
announced a week ago it had sold an
amount estimated at 20,000.000
bushels.
A warning was issued by the de-
partment in March that unless
United States producers decreased
their wheat production sharply they
would be forced into export trade
because of lack of storage. Chair
man Stone of the farm board, how
ever, expects no difficulty along this
line. The board probably will have
upwards Of 100000 bushels OF
wheat in storage before July l.
The largest amount Of new con-
struction "a reported at Minneap-
oils, Duluth, Omaha and Milwaukee,
Kansas City and Chicago we're said
to be the only large markets where
very little elevator space has been
added since last July. At Kansas
City, however, a new $500, 000-bushel
elevator is being built and 5000, 900 to
10000, 900 bushels more space Is ex-
pected to be added before the new
crop moves.
At Enid, Okla, an important mar
ket not included In the survey, 9
1000, 900 bushel elevator is under
construction while new elevators to-
falling IL, 0 900 to 100000 are ex'
pected to be built soon at principa,

BETTER Oils HELD
AUTOMOBILE NEED
Lubricating Engineers Doing
Their Share to Aid Motor
Performance

Finer oils and gasolines are neces-
sary to keep pace with improvements
In automobile engine design, accord
ing to r. D. Wigley, Bismarck rep
resentative Of the Alemite company.
whose firm has announced a ley and
improved oil for lubricating high
speed engines.
"Automotive engineers have left no
stone unturned in their search for
improvements and they continually
are striving for finer performance"
Wigley said. "As q result they already
have developed high-speed, high-com-
preston engines which are a big adj
vance over those of 10 years ago.
But the burden Of better perform
ance Of automobiles does not rest on
the engine designers alone. The lub-
ricating experts have their share of
problems. They realize that long life,
smoothness and ~flexibility Of opera
ton of these modern motors depends
upon the proper fabrication of every
part, and yet there has been little
change in the processing and produce
ton of motor oils. On the other hand,
the refining companies lost no time
in the development of new and better
gasolines.
"Alemite engineers determined to
develop a new type Of motor oil to
meet the changing trend in motor
design. An exhaustive search in the
oil markets of the world failed to re-
veal any motor oil which they felt
would do. It takes more than good
cloth to make a good suit of clothes,
but even the most expert tailor can't
make a good suit out of shoddy. Ale
mite selected Pennsylvania grade
crude, which Is considered by author
tiles to be the source of the finest oil.
Then began the development of a
process Of refining an oil that would
satisfy the requirements of modern
automobile engines as no other oil
could. Ten years were spent in ex-
haustive research and experiments,
tests in laboratories and on the open
road, under a great variety Of climatic
conditions.
"The result is an utterly new type
Of motor oil because the Alemite pro-
cess preserves the carefully balanced
structure of 1000 pure Pennsylvania
crude. A rugged, full-bodied, extreme
ly oily oil which retains its lubrictty
under the most severe service. IS
produced. It seals in piston power,
protects bearings with great efficiency
and has q remarkable heat res.s-
tance."
It is said that leading fabrication
authorities report that this modern
oil adequately meets the newly real
lied lubricating requirements Of mod
ern automobile motors.
