Blamed on Prices

Contrary to popular belief. it was
not intense nationalism or fear Of
war that caused the increased wheat
acreage in Europe. so much as the
rise in world prices.
Crop failures in the United
States and Canada contributed to
the price rise. The result was the
conversion of wheat-importing
countries into exporting countries.
This was particularly true of
France"

REVIVED PACT
SEEN DESPITE
WHEAT FIASCO
Delegate to Budapest Par.
ley Points to Fa-
vorabIe Forces.
BY DANIEL KIDNEY
Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-Back
from Budapest, where the world
wheat agreement foundered, one of
the two United States spokesman at
that f1asco predicted here today that
the pact would be revived and
strengthened.
Lloyd V. Steere, who is American
agricultural attache in Berlin, based
his optimism on these factors af-
fecting the two nations which have
been given principal blame for the
breakup:
l. Passage in France of the Elan
din wheat act
2. Expected pressure on Argen-
tina from an eventual fall in world
wheat prices.
Sees France Importing
Under the Flandin act" Mr..
Steere explained, the French
wheat subsidy is to be reduced after
three months and removed in six.
This will automatically reduce
French acreage, and after disposing
of its present surplus France should
again import a normal quota of
wheat.
Argentina interest in co-opera-
ton to reduce exports was de-
stroyed by a rising market and a
bumper crop. But fall in world
prices will in all likelihood cause
her to reconsider.
JNoc Of
don, has been authorized to call for
a resumption of the conference,
and a tentative date has been set
for March 5. The London confer
ence sh ould be more successful than
the one at Budapest.

ITEMS FROM
VERDE SCHOOL

The hot weather schedule of $3.50

four weeks of school, but now that
it is cooler, the schedule has been
heightened, opening at 8 and clos
ing at 2:05 for the first three
grades, at for the fourth and 3:20

The PTA has begun its meetings
and have planned to hold two
meetings a month. The business
meeting is held at the regular af-
ternoon meeting date. AT this time
speakers are scheduled for instruc-
tive talks. The other meetings are
to be in the form of social meetings
when the fathers can attend and
get acquainted.
The Verde sixth. seventh and
eighth grades are editing a news
paper this year. This is two
page paper and sells for one cent.
The editorship is progressive, being
for the purpose of developing re-
cruits. Each week there is an edi-
tor chief with five associate edi-
tors. This will give each pupil in
the room an opportunity to try his
hand at the business.
The fourth to eighth grades are
now listening to the standard school
broadcast every Thursday after
noon. This is a very enjoyable and
instructive half hour spent.

YOUR GROCER HAS
THIS SUNNY Way
TO BETTER HEALTH
Check Common Constipation
with a Delicious Cereal

Food has lot to do with how
you feel and how you look. For in
stance, you need plenty of "bulk''
with your meals to avoid the risk
of common constipation.
This ailment frequently causes
headaches, loss of appetite and en-
ergy. Yet, in most cases, it can be
overcome pleasantly and safely by
eating a delicious cereal.
Kellogg's ALL-BRAN furnishes
"bulk" in convenient and concen-
trated form. Laboratory tests show
the "bulk" in ALL-BRAN is safe and
effective. In fact, it is much like
that found in leafy vegetables.
Within the body, the fiber of ALL
BRAN absorbs moisture, and forms
a soft mass. Gently, this clears out
the intestinal wastes.
In addition, ALL-BRAN provides
vitamin B and iron.
Isn't this sunny way better than
taking patent medicines - SO often
harmful? Two tablespoonfuls OF
ALL-BRAN daily are usually suffi-
cient. Chronic cases with each meal
If seriously i'll, see your doctor
ALL-BRAN makes no claim to be a
"cure-all."
Enjoy ALL-BRAN as a cereal, OF
cook into appetizing recipes. Be
sure you get Kellogg's ALL-BRAN
1t contains much more needed
'bulk" than part-bran products. In
the red-and-green package. Made
by Kellogg in Battle Creek.

INTEREST IN
SALTON SEA
BOAT RACING

The recent motor boat regatta
at San Diego where fast outboard
motor boats last Sunday competed
for prizes, has created additional
interest in the developing of Sandy
Beach at the southwest corner of
Salton Sea, according to the cham
Der of commerce staff.
It was pointed out by visitors to
the chamber that the same type of
motor boat races could be held at
the south end of Salton Sea, and
that because of the high gravity of
the water and the below-sea-level
situation of Salton Sea, speed rec
ords would undoubtedly be broken
at every race meet. There would,
it was stated, be a great deal of
favorable publicity for Imperial
Valley, and these races would un-
doubtedly be the means of bring
ing about further development at
Salton Sea, particularly Sandy
Beach which is the corner most
accessible to Imperial Valley.
A study is now being made of
the project by the local SERA ad-
ministration, and Director Sterrett
has expressed himself as being
much interested in the possibility
of completing the road to Salton
Sea and development of recrea-
tional area for Imperial Valley
people and visitors.
