WHEAT LACKS
SUPPORT

CHICAGO, Dec. 2 1N.SO.
Wheat prices averaged moderately
lower today in early dealings. The
down trend was more the result
of lack of support rather than per
sistent pressure.
December wheat was carried off
9s of a cent to 971s. and May
dropped 3s of a cent to 967s.
The decline in wheat and favor
able weather news carried the
corn market down moderately.
Near midsession wheat was %
to 3s of a cent off, corn 1s to %
off, oats a to p cent off, and rye
unchanged to "a of a cent off.

ONE-QUALITY GASOLINE
Sunoco Manager Applies in Prin-
cipal What Sports Require

This is the time of the year when
hundreds of thousands of Ameri-
cans are interested in various out
door sports such as baseball, golf,
tennis and rowing. In each of these
sports is significant quality clev
erly used by Mr.. Robert Weir, Jr.,
the Sun Oil Company's district
manager, to Illustrate a point he
has in mind. He says, In practi
cally all sports one of the most
important features the beginner is
apt to overlook is follow through
that ability to complete the swing
of the stroke of the bat, racket,
golf club or oar. Follow through
gives the player that extra power
or distance that is SO important to
championship calibre. well, sir,
believe it or not, this same follow
through holds good III motor fuel,
too. To really be champion, a
gasoline must have a real follow
through, not just snappy summer
starting or a pick up like Blue
Sunoco's that has made it known
as the password of the road, but it
must follow through with high test
action, knockles power and mile
age economy. I mention this just
to illustrate the fact that Blue
Sunoco has an ideal follow through
for modern motors. This motor
fuel has literally been blueprinted
in advance just like construction
engineers blueprint a bridge or
You see, our Sunoco
engineers know how to take apart
the molecules found in crude pc
troleum and rebuild them into a
truly modern gasoline which, be-
it has been blueprinted in ad-
offers an ideal combination
of starting, acceleration, power and
economy

The Bismarck tribune., 1935-03-30


The reason for this encouraging de-
velopment Is the fact that Bismarck
is underbuilt. Several thousand per-
sons have come here to live during
the last few years and there has been
very little new building. They have
moved into whatever was available.
Approximately 100 basement apart
ments have been opened during the
last three years. The number Of
small homes In the development west
Of the railroad tracks and south Of
the Memorial highway now il nearly
two score. Practically every apart
ment in the city that has even the
faintest claim to that designation Is
occupied. There are no vacant houses.
Bismarck Is vastly underbuilt. On
the basis Of its present popuation It
needs at least 100 new houses.
Only Handicap Financial
These things, coupled with the per-
sistence Of the homecoming instinct,
account for the upward trend In Bis
marcks building prospects.
There IS just one handicap and that
is financial. A good many persons
who would like to build haven't got
enough money to make Q down pay
ment on q home. Lending agencies
would like to assist them but feel It
would be unsafe. These people will
have to get additional money some-
where before they will be considered
. good risk, even on q first mortgage.
Behind this conservative attitude,
Ill lending agencies admit frankly, Is
. fear that the impetus given BIS
marck by location here Of federal
agencies may be taken away on short
notice. They are afraid the prosper
ity which the capital now is enjoying
Is not Of the "solid'' kind. And so
they keep their money in their vaults.
II anyone comes along who appears
to them to be q good prospect he can
get q loan. To be q good prospect
one must have some money to invest
In . home property and his income
must be reasonably assured. In the
backs Of their heads the lending
agencies keep in mind what they can

Warrington. March 30.-(ReThe
soft coal industry and the United
Mine Workers Of America agreed Sat-
urday to accept NRAs proposal to
continue present wage and hour con-
tracts after April I. thus averting .
threatened walk-out Of nearly half .
million miners.
Warrington, March 30.-R- Sen.
atorial critics Of NRA hammerd away
Saturday at xhe Roosevelt admins
tration's bill to extend the Blue
Eagle law for another two years.
Meanwhile q crucial conference was
called In an attempt to avert q call
for . walkout Of $4,000 soft coal
workers next Monday morning.
The MIRA, through Chairman Don.
aid r. Richberg. had submitted =
plan for peace in the coal wage crisis.
Although 1t was emphasized that
nothing Was settled, one informed
source said It was . good bet' that
the walkout, which the United Mine
Workers insist would not be . strike,
would b averted.
Existing coal wage contracts ex-
pire Sunday night, and the U. N. w.
says the miners viii not work with.
out contracts. The NRA suggested
that the present coal code Be ex.
tended till June Is. when the re-
covery law expires. This, In effect.
would extend the wage contracts.
The coal dispute was one Of those
mentioned by Richberg when he urged
the senate finance committee to
hurry and get IN N2A bill before
congress. He said strikes also were
brewing In three other giant indus
tries-automobiles, steel and textiles.
Quickly Senator Harrison, chairman
Of the committee, introduced the bill.
But some NRA critics Saturday called
It more drastic" than the one It
would supplant.
Chief criticism was aimed at Ian.
guage permitting exemptions from
the anti-trust laws and broad provi-
sions defining interstate commerce.
Even Chairman Harrison conceded
the bill would be changed In many
ways by the committee he heads.
particularly in its provisions touching
On monopoly.
Critics Of price fixing were aroused
By testimony late Friday by Thomas
g. Blaisdell, former director. Of the
consumers advisory board Of NRA
about what he called price fixing and
identical bidding by industries under
codes.
