GRAINS MOVE UP
ON ALIEN UPTURN
Oats Leads With Advance
of 2 1-8 Cents at Start.
BIZ Unitcd Press

By UnitCd Press
CHICAGO, July 31.--A surprising
upturn in the Liverpool market was
reflected in higher wheat prices to-
day on the Board of Trade.
At the start wheat was q to %
cent higher, corn was Is to is cents
higher, oats were unchanged to Us
cents higher, and rye was up 4 TO
% cent.
The advance at Liverpool checked
selling sentiment and induced mod
crate buying of wheat early. Broom
hall cabled that the Liverpool
market was strong as traders were
influenced by the Canadian gov
ernment's Geographic crop report
which emphasized reduced prospects
in many sections of the Prairia prov
inces. Most traders here were in
clined to be cautious, however, and
the selling was not heavy.

Of indications in his personal his
tory that stamp him as irregular
"a pioneer who refused to stay
put, always moving on to a new
front where there was something
new to be learned or a bigger job
to be done.
He was born Nov ~, 1885, at Mount
JOY, Pa. During his grammar and
high school days he got odd jobs
doing mechanical things in the
neighboring hardware and handker-
chief factories. When he got out of
high school he went to Lancaster,
Pa, to study shorthand, typeWrit-
ing, bookkeeping and commercial
law.
But, in 1904, he got a chance that
doesn't come to every bright young
business man. He was taken on as
secretary to a lecturer and author
and with him spent two years see
ing and learning things in the
British Isles Then Henry l.. Bar
ton, at that time works manager of
Westinghouse, dicovered him and
started him on a two-year special
apprenticeship course in machine
shop work, erecting, designing and
engineering, and in 1909 he became
assistant to the superintendent of
the automobile engine department.
Joined ChrySler in 1926
In February, 1910, Mr.. Keller
went to Detroit to become chief
inspector in the Detroit Metal
Products Co.. which made automo-
bile aXles, and from that moment,
his consuming interest became auto
mobile making. 1t was in 1911, when
he joined the central Office staff of
General Motors working chiefly on
Cadillac, that he became acquainted
with Walter P. Chrysler, and the
friendship stuck, although he stayed
with General Motors when Mr.
Chrysler left in 1921.
AT one time Mr.. Keller was vice
president of Chevrolet in charge of
manufacturing; at another time he
vas general manager of Canadian
operations. In April. 1926, he joined
the Chrysler Corp. to aid in the big
task of combining the Dodge Broth
ers plants and became president of
Dodge in 1929. as we'll as vice presi-
dent in charge of manufacturing

Average Maturity Up

The shift in short term issues
falling due in large blocks into long
er term issues due on smaller
amounts over the next IS years, the
Treasury reported, raised the aver
age maturity of all government is
sues on June 30, 1885, to years and
7 months from years and II
months on June 80, 1888.
The only remaining large debt re-
adjustment step in the near future
is the refunding shortly of $780,
100000 of Fourth Liberty Loan Az
per cent bonds, called for redemp-
ton Oct. Is, into lower interest
bearing securities.
Another step to reduce the cost of
government borrowings was taken
by the Treasury Monday with the
offering of another $10O,000,000 block
of 27s per cent 20 to 25-year bonds
to the highest bidders. A recent
similar issue drew an average pre-
MUM of l 1892 point over par, or
million and a half dollar premium
to the government.

Expert
Lauds Local Grapes

Additional proof that this valley is
ideally suited to the growing of grapes
was received this week by g. F. Woot-
en-, who several weeks ago sent a crate
of several varieties of grapes to the
horticultural field station at Beltsville,
Maryland.
In discussing the qulaity of these
grapes, j. r. Magness, principal POM
ologist of the field station, says:
"We received your letter of October
81 and received just last night the
crate, of grapes which you were. kind
enough to forward. Unfortunately,
these were apparently delayed some
what in transit and arrived in rather
bad condition. This was due primarily
to the packing, I believe, however,
rather than to inherent weakness in
the grapes. We were able, however,
to evaluate the quality of the grapes
from the sound ones that were present
"If this is a typical sample I will
have to take back what said about
Tokays probably not ripening under
your conditions. These Tokays, as well
as the Malagas, the Maraville de Ma
laga, and the Pink Thompson were of
excellent quality.
I'm thinking over your growing con-
ditions we have wondered If any Of
your growers have tried the Foster.
This is large, good quality white
tabe grape which ripens very early
with grapes as large as Malagas and,
we believe, of possibly better quality
Also, it has proved quite hardy. 1t is
a good producer and, we believe, would
be worthy of trial. If none of your
growers have it we could supply few
cuttings from our California vineyards.
"The color and quality of all the
specimens which you sent were most
excellent. We regret that they did not
come through in better shape, but they
certainly indicate that it is possible
to grow good quality viniferas in your
section"

r. r. Woods Tells OF
Townsend Meeting

The recent Townsend club conven-
ton was the greatest ever held In the
city Of Chicago, r. r. Woods Of White
Bluffs remarked this week after re-
turning from there as one Of the IA
delegates from the state Of Washing
ton.
Denying alleged reports that only the
aged and the infirm we're In atten-
dance, Mr.. Woods declared that only
40 per cent of the delegates were over
60 years of age, Is per cent being from
IS to 60 and the rest even younger.
Everything possible was done by those
opposed to the plan to ridicule and
minimize the convention" he said, add
ing that there was total attendance
of 7,O47 delegates, with thousands Of
delegates jamming the corridors to
hear what was said.
In talking to people from other
states, Mr.. Woods was told that the
Townsend movement was growing each
day; kilograms were read at the con-
vention from the railroad trainmen of
New York City, who said that 10000
trainmen in that city were behind the
movement; from Ohio, which reported
a membership of one and a half mil
lions; from Altoona, Pa saying that
a recent newspaper poll conducted
there showed 941k per cent of the peo-
pie in that locality favoring the move
ment.
ct talked to everyone on the train,
both going and coming home, and
they all were enthusiastic boosters for
the club" Woods said. Contrary to
reports that the solid south and in
dustrial centers were against it,
found in my talks with people that the
plan was actually going over big in
those places.
"The slogan displayed at the con-
vention, Enact the Townsend Plan at
this Congress, or Elect Townsend Men
at the Next Election typified the spirit
of the people. Nothing can stop the
movement; if our present legislators
refuse to pass it, men will be elected
who will make it law.
"There were delegates there from
every state in the union and the sem
timent of everyone was that the plan
will be successful"
