RISING WHEAT
PRICES HAILED
SIGN OF CHEER
Conservative Traders Warn,
However, That Boom Is
Too Rapid.
BIZ united Press

By United Press
CHICAGO, April 13.-Hope that
higher wheat prices will lead Amer
lea out of the slough of depression
grew stronger today.
Soma conservative traders, how
ever, said a rs cent -bushel adj
vance since Friday was too rapid a
rise.
They were firm however, in the
belief that the great staple of the
farm industry has a greater intrinsic
worth in view of the desolation of
southwest winter wheat areas and
marked improvement in export con-
ditionS.
Attention of the entire nation
was focused on the grain trading
centers by the known record that
bull markets broke the panic of
1896, steadied stock prices in the
World war crisis, and led the way
to recovery in 1921.
AS yet, the trend was not strong
enough to be conclusive. 1t was
pointed out that crop scares" oc-
cur almost annually and that the
market normally is bullish each
spring.
A determined rise in prices oc-
CURED last fall after grain had sold
at the lowest levels since the Eliza
bethan era, but most of the grain
slipped away through the winter.
Railroads expected little increase
in carloadings as a result of the adj
vance. They pointed out that stocks
held by farmers have been reduced
to about 160,000,0OO bushels. With
an estimated winter wheat crop of
440, 100000 bushels the margin left
for shipment to market is slight.
Farmers will need 10000 900
bushels of the total for feed and
300,000,000 for seed and home con-
sumption leaving available for ship
ment at the July harvest about
100000 bushels.
So although the amount in
granaries is somewhat larger than
usual, most farmers will be forced
to conserve the supply in fear of a
later shortage.

old party wheelhorses have been
" swinging behind the candidacy
'of Frederick Van Mugs for the
Democratic nomination for United
States senator and the effect has
become apparent, they tell me.
Probably no Democrat Yields the
personal power and is listened to as
attentively in the southeastern tier
of counties as is Uncle joe Cra-
vens of. Madison.
The fact that he is out working
for Van Nuys gives the aspirant an
edge in that section that will be
difficult for the manager of Walter
Myers to offset.
Then, too, Dale Crittenberger
veteran Anderson editor, is being
listed among the Van Mugs aids
and this carries weight in the old
Eighth district.
The candidates recent statement
that he is in favor of a referendum
on prohibition has hit Myers in his
strongest point. opposition to pro-
hibition, and has stolen much Of his
thunder.
Reports from over the state are
to the effect that in approximately
fifty-four counties Van Mugs has
the edge, according to his friends.
That the agricultural centerS are
opposed to Myers because of the
charges that he killed the income
tax measure by writing over it and
that they are prone to blame him
for exercising bad Judgment il
handling the entire situation, is
prevalent gossip.
1t also is known to Democratic
managers that Senator James E.
Watson has indicated to friends
that he prefers his opponent to be
Myers instead of Van Mugs.
Because of this sentiment, the
same leaders are prone to view with
suspicion the enthusiastic support
accorded Myers by well known Re
publican newspapers clamorous in
their demands for the reelection CT
Hoover.
Spirited advocacy of a Democrat
by known leader of the OPPOSE
ton press always is a cause for
dubiousness, and especially in this,
of all years, when the national ticket
is up.
This very support is losing Myers

Girl Crazy offers a variety of
entertainment with mirth and
melody, romance and action, and
beauty and atmosphere predomi-
nate. Among the roles interpreted
by the cast are Broadway beauties,
a child prodigy, Hollywood cowboys,
Mexican senoritas, two gunner, and
polished villains.
The action shifts from a city tene-
ment, to a western dude ranch and
a Mexican resort and ranges from
riproaring chases to rhythmic dances
and tender love scenes.
The story, as is probably known,
deals with girl crazy youth who is
sent to the quiet of western ranch
to cure him of his weakness for
beautiful women.
He imports a snappy jazz band,
a bevy of Broadway beauties, dresses
the cowpunchers in dinner jackets,
and turns the ranch into a playboys
paradise.
Mitzi Green comes forward again
in Girl Crazy" and is purported to
almost steal the picture with her
limitations of Bing Crosby, Roscoe
