Operations were resumed today by the Juneau Lumber Mills, which clo1ed down last November for the winter The saw mill and the blaming mill began turning out lumber, but the box factory of the establishment still remains in- active.
 A force of 50 men is engaged i'll mill and yard work. In filling the positions, the management gave preference to former employees with the result that nearly all the workers took places that they had held last year.
 Twenty thousand box shocks were sent yesterday to the Libby. McNeill and Libby cannery at Taku Harbor. They were carried by the lumber mills vessel, Vir- ginia, ".

RECOVERY SLOW AND CAUTIOUS.

While it is entirely probable that the extreme limits of the contraction of business activities have doubtless been seen it is becoming increasingly ap- parent that the recovery date has been relatively slow and spotty. Nothing approaching a broad re- vival can be discerned from the trend of railroad car-loadings new. building steel output, automobile production and other representative industries.
 The March results of most of the major indus tries will be by all odds the best for any month of the first quarter Especially heartening is the pros pect of 100000 automobile production. Compared with the abnormal December levels the current rate of operations is quite encouraging.
 What the spring will bring forth is, however, another matter In view of the heaviness of com modity prices and the importance of grain, cotton oil and copper to the wealth. creating rate of the United States it is difficult to foresee large buying from sections that would normally be counted upon at this time of year to come forward
 In other words, business is gradually adjusting itself to the possibility of extension of the period of subnormal activity The reconstruction projects of State and nation will help and easy money will be of assistance in many directions but there must be genuine strength in the commodity markets to warrant the expectation of impressive forward movement

 The ways of the Federal Government with trusts are devious and strange.
 For while it will jump the packers vio- lators of the law, then it will let up the packers. It will smash the Standard Oil combine, only to let individual units grow larger and powerful than the original alleged menace It will smile with special favor the Radio Corporation for years, and then suddenly bounce upon that cor poration.
 Now the Government itself has induced large oil companies to agree to limit imports in apparent restraint of trade and violation of the antitrust law. At the time it has just forced the dis solution of the Bolt Nut and Rivet Manufacturers Association, steelmakers combine for alleged vio- laton of the same antitrust law.
 All of which is too much for the comprehension of laymen-not to mention lawyers and corporations which find it increasingly difficult to keep up with Government policy

SPRING, CLEANUP CAMPAIGN,
 GARDENS.

Spring is fairly with us again, and the returning robin red-breasts say it each morning with more eloquence than even the daily readings of the thermometer. Already the miracle of Nature is beginning to repeat itself The skeletons of tree and bush whose bare bones mark the winter season, soon will be transformed into Life, decked out in the delicate green bowers of etched leaf-patterns, From these recesses soon will sound the call of bird to it's birdmate as the couples start anew their housekeeping
 AS Nature refreshes itself its wand wiping out stark uginess and bringing forth new beauty, so humans should and do, strive to keep apace with it. Nature cannot achieve perfection alone. Men must play part, particularly where they have their habtations and go about their daily occupa- tions Lawns, no matter how green, are not beau- tiful if man-lnade debris sprinkles them here and there. Broken fences, unkempt houses, Uttered streets cannot be made lovely except through human agencies.
 Human effort is never so effective as when it is co-ordnated Man, working individually, achieves something. Only when teamwork into play does he approach the zenith of efficiency. It has been found true in play well as in work.
 So in the past few years Juneau has organ zed it's welcome to the vernal season and named it Cleanup Week" It did so because experience had taught the community that without organza- ton the welcome wasn't much Of a success as such things go. Now Nature has ushered Spring to our threshold The swelling of buds on the willows, the berry bushes, and shoots of grass, the ap- pearance of hardy perennias, all give notice of its early arrival It is time then for welcome, which is to say, Cleanup Week
 It should be an unusually good one this year. Juneaus winter was mild and much of the debris and dirt which always accumulates when have long, hard winters and lots of is lacking. Work that has been done in former years grounds and houses is reflected in better conditions It makes it possible to start from much farther advanced point than in the past Thus the same degree of effort and this year will be marked by a closer approach to realization of the City Beautiful" goal.
 Coincident with the Cleanup" gardening prepara- tions come to the fore. The time for thinking about them is passed and the stage of activity is reached. The for digging has arrived Plant ing is but a few days distant.
 Many residents, particularly in recent years, have planted gardens with splendid results Beauty and utility both have been served and the community benefited by their work They, too have recognized the value of teamplay is evidenced by the Juneau Garden Club That organization is the result of

GAINS ARE SEEN
FOR POULTRY

CENTERVILLE, Md. June ID
I.N.SD.-The poultry industry,
which holds an important po-
sition in American agriculture,
should improve during the next
few months, R. w. Dunlap, AS
sistant Secretary Of Agriculture,
told the Maryland State Poultry
Association today.
Among the reasons for the opti-
mistic view of the immediate fu-
ture of the industry was that
flocks have been culled closely
so that approximately 10000, 900
hens, an average of four to the
farm, have been taken out Of
production during the year. Early
hatchings for this year were
lighter than last and this will
reduce the number of early lay
ers this fall.
Furthermore, cold storage hold
ings of both eggs and chickens
are substantially below those Of
year ago.

In Advertising Bread

Because the Government was
able to reduce the consumption
of flour during the war. Joseph
Wiltshire, president of Standard
Brands, Inc, says that by an
advertising campaign now it will
be equally able to increase the
use of bread and reduce the
huge surplus of wheat in the
present emergency. Mr.. Wiltshire
has grown up with the food in
dustry, having been connected
with the Fleischmann Company
for 33 years, during which he
rose from yeast packer to presi-
dent. His statement follows:
"The Department of Agri-
culture informs us that the
winter wheat crop, to be har-
vested within the next two
weeks, will greatly exceed last
years crop and will double the
amount of surplus wheat in
this country, making a total of
4OO,OOO,OOO bushels of wheat
above domestic requirements.
Storage charges for the pres
ent surplus are already costing
the Farm Board $3,OOO,OOO a
month, and what is to be done
with the huge additional sur
plus at the end of this month
is a serious problem.
"a sensible solution of marked
benefit to the whole country
would be the devOting by the
Government of sum, equal
to only one months storage
charges on the present surplus,
to give publicity to the value
of read as a food. The object
would be to restore bread to
the position it occupied before
the war and lost because
similar campaign against the
use of flour during the emer-
gency.
IF an advertising campaign
during the war could materially
reduce the consumption Of
bread, it is reasonable to as
sumo that it can also build it
up to its former position by
showing that the war emergency
conditions no longer exist, that
different kinds of bread are
the foundation of a meal, offer
ing the most nourishment at
the lowest cost, and that the
eating of more bread in Amer

holders of the Alton. the stock
holders protective committee told
the Interstate Commerce Com
today. A brief filed by
former Senator James A. Reed
of Missouri, said:
with the evidence indicat-
ing conservative value of
S125, 100000 for the Alton prop
erty, it is quite manifest that
the S75,OOO,OOO which the Bal
timer and Ohio is paying is
wholly inadequate price for the
property.
"The acquisition Of S125, ,OOO,-
600 for S75,OOO,OOO Is not the
acquisition of one carrier by
another on terms and condi-
tiOns which are just and rea-
SOnable."
The Washington times., 1931-06-18

lean homes will consume most
of the wheat surplus and wipe
out that serious obstacle to
prosperity.
"The sum of S3,OOO,OOO spent
in judiciOus advertising by the
Federal Farm Board in a con-
centrated campaign covering a
period of a few months would
present the story in every pub
licatiOn in the country and
would Immediately have a re-
markable effect. That sum would
do the job, and it represents
only one months storage charges
on the present wheat surplus
which Is soon to be doubled"
Mr.. Wiltshire adds that if every
person in the United States should
eat only one more slice of bread
a day, it would mean the con-
of 6O,O0O,000 additional
bushels of wheat in a year and
that well-planned publicity cam
paign in this emergency would
cause at least three times this
amount of increase, or differ
ence of approximately the sur
plus now on hand.

STOCKHOLDERS
GAIN NUMBERS

The number of stockholders in
American corporations increased
almost 25 per cent during 1880
despite the widespread business
depression-or perhaps because of
it, says the Standard Statistics
Company of New York, in an
analysis of the changes in the
lists of stockholders of so large
corporations.
1t has been more or less COM
mon knowledge that odd lot sales
of stocks have increased enor-
mously in recent months and the
figures on the large gain in num-
ber of shareholders bear out the
promise that the man with few
hundred dollars has purchased
his 10 or 20 shares of stock to an
extent not dreamed of several
years ago.
In this study SO of the largest
corporations for which the num-
ber of stockholders was available
as of January l. 1880, and Jan
uary l, 1881, were considered.
These so companies had 3,522,000
shareholders at the beginning of
the year and 4,401, 900 at the end
of 1880. a gain of "a percent.
