DECLARED IMPROVED
Department Store Sales and
Building Contracts Take
Lead in Upward Swing

Minneapolis. April l6.-P}-Major
increases In department store sales,
both In rural and urban areas, were
shown In March compared to the
same period year ago. the ninth
federal reserve bank Of Minneapolis
said Monday in its monthly prelimin-
airy report embracing the district.
Thirty rural department stores in
the district, which includes Minnesota,
North Dakota, South Dakota, Mon
tana and parts Of Wisconsin and
Michigan, showed sales gains Of -
per cent, while q city department
stores had q 28-per-cent increase.
Six times Is many building con-
tracts were awarded during the month
than q year ago. for the greatest per-
centage increase OF any individual
lire OF business shown during March.
the report pointed out.
However" the report continued,
upon analysis. 1t appears th4t this
enormous increase was due to the
small volume Of building contracts IN
the northwest last year.
Comparison Means Little
A comparison a the volume Of bus
mess during March Of this year with
that Of last year Is Of small Sign
ificance, the report said. because the
hank holiday period year dgo great
II hampered transactions Of many
kinds Of business, resulting In the
smallest volume Of business during
that month than any since the start
Of the depression.
However, business In the district
was somewhat more active In March
than In February Of this year, after
allowance for purely seasonal factors.

Washington, April 16.-(P)-The

President Roosevelt's declaration of

A year ago the country was emery

hoarders were under orders from the
president to shell out. Exporting was
licensed and early In April, 1888, about
e, 000, 900 in gold was shipped to
France, Ny000, 900 to italy and $1,000
600 to England.
Then on April 10, President Roose-

Freedom from the North Dakota

year-old ex-convict, at st. Louis. Mo-,
Saturday night.
Sebastian, who was released from

Decentralization of
Wheat Being Urged
World Conference Would Reduce
Present Surplus by Use
as Animal Feed
RECOMMENDATION IN SIGHT
Proposal to Make Some Grain
Unfit for Human Use May
Win Approval

Rome, April 16.-(R-Tens of mil
lions of bushels of wheat are to be
from the possibility of hui
man consumption through process
Of denaturization, if plans discussed
before the world advisory
wheat commission are ratified by the
here represented.
Under the Craftsmanship of Ameri-
can Minister John MacMurray, the
commission discussed arguments for
and against denaturizatiOn and tech
meal means Of achieving 1t. Dena-
turization means chemical treat
ment Of wheat so as to make 1t unfit
for human consumption but still very
palatable to cattle and pigs.
Benaturization, - was said, would
materially reduce world stocks Of
grain and thus permit the reaching
of firlner market, with higher
prices for the farmer. It Is the ire
mendous existing stocks Of wheat
which depress prices so heavily.
It seems to be the intention Of the
commission to recommend to the gov
ernments of the United States, Ar
gentilla, Canada and Australia, the
overseas exporting countries: the
Danubian exporting states, and the
importing nations such as England,
France, Germany and Italy, to d.
vide wheat into two classes, reserv-
ing the high grade for human con-
sumption and consigning the low
grade definitely to animal consump-
ton.
Is Good Stock Feed
The commission had before it tech
meal tests showing that wheat has
as many good qualities as other grains
for cattle and pigs II not more than
20 per cent Of 1t is placed In the food
mixture.
Delegates argued in favor Of inter-
national decentralization that low
grade wheat completes with high
grade wheat sold for human con-
sumption and lowers its price. De-
maturing such wheat before export,
or before import, would decrease
wheat stocks, increase the price of
high-grade wheat and lower the price
Of low-grade wheat 50 as to let it
compete more favorably with oats,
barley and maize.
The only argument advanced
aginst denaturization is that 1t might
react unfavorably on the price Of
other cereals used for animal feed
ing.
Delegates said that il the denaturi-
zation were agreed upon, the dena-
tured wheat could be exported out
side the export quotas agreed upon
at the London conference last Aug
ust. New quotas could also be made
for denatured wheat.
The commission is interested In the
method Switzerland practices OF de-
maturing low-grade wheat as It enters
the country, that Is, before import.
Government officials plunge q forked
instrument filled with an oil into the
sack. The oil permeates the wheat
and makes 1t unfit for human use but
leaves 1t an excellent animal food.

Coughs, Colds, Go

BUCKEYES MIXTURE is not a
cheap preparation, but it takes so
little of it to completely Danish a
cough or cold that it costs far less
than any other preparation.
Buckley's is so marvelously good
that one dose gives unmistakable re-
lief. Two doses may stop your cough
or cold entirely. Goodbye to sick
ening syrups and dopey preparations.
Take Buckley's. 1t means safe, sure,

A Good Movement

Experts at the state forestry school
report increased interest In tree
planting. Many farmers, taking adj
vantage Of assistance offered by va
rious government agencies, are pre-
pairing to plant groves this year or
next. The custom Is to prepare the
ground q year In advance and keep
1t summerfallowed. ...-
The plots to be planted range,
usually, from five acres to quarter
section. Ground which is to be taken
out OF grain production frequently is
to be devoted to these forestry prof.
ects.
Whether or not careful handling
can insure the success of these groves
remains to be seen, but the successes
at the Federal Experiment Station
at Mandan seem to prove that it
can. Certainly the average farm
would be infinitely better off for a
woodlot and it costs little to try.
Climatologists have marked the re-
lationship between woodlands and
rainfall in the past, the idea being
that trees make the air humid and
hence encourage precipitation. If
this theory Is true, extensive plant
ings OF trees may do much to cause a
return OF normal conditions In this
area.

able to keep an emergency ration at
hand to take in the night in case you
get to feeling pretty awful. Some
orange or orange Juice is the ideal
emergency ration.
Afternoon Tea: One cup clear

sugar and two substitute cakes.
Dinner: Three ounces lean meat,
fish or fowl. One cup Of 5 per cent
vegetables. One portion Of fruit. OPP

tomato Juice, with bread substitute.
Bedtime Snack: One-half glass
full Of orange juice.
In addition TO the five feelings
