Extended To Farmers

WASHINGTON, March 17.-R
Governor A. G.. Black Of the
farm credit administration reported
today that easier debt-payment
terms had recently been extended
to about 100, 900 farmer-borrowers in
the Great Plains area.
These loans, made by federal land
banks and land bank commission
ers, have been reamortized to give
borrowers a longer period in which
to pay and to reduce installments.
The liberalized terms were ex-
tended, Black said, to farmers who
had suffered crop failures because
of eve droughts and as a conse-
quence had become delinquent in
meeting their FCA debt payments.

BUSINESS ACTIVITY
UPTURN EXPECTED
Industrial Exports Reported
Moving AT Sharply In
creased Volume

WASHINGTON, Marcn 17.-F'-
Noting that industrial exports were
moving at a sharply Increased
ysaume and speculative markets
We displaying more confidence
than a month ago, the bureau OF
AGRICULTURAL economics said today 1t
expected a reversal this spring OF
the recent downturn in business &C
tivity.
The bureau added, however, that
there were no signs pointing to a
rapid recovery thereafter.
In an analysis of economic on
ditions and their effect upon agri-
culture, the bureau said it did not
expect any marked diminution in
domestic consumer demand for farm
products.
There are several important rea-
sons for assuming that the current
decline in industrial activity will be
less sever and not SO prolonged as
that of the 1898 period, and Will
not result in as serious contraction
in national income and in domestic
demand for farm products" the bu-
reau said.
"The present relapse was pre-
ceded by much smaller increases in
commodity and security prices than
was that of 1898, and inventories
in the hands Of manufacturers and
distributors apparently increased
but moderately during the final
half of 1899 as compared with the
more prolonged period of inventory
expansion which Immediately pre-
coded the 1898 depression"

spices. They make a salad in which
they want to use them. or they are
masters of fine dish or so calling for
spices not ordinarily kept on the
kitchen shelves"
A tradition still prevails in many
households that men do not like salads.

Doubtless it used to be. And it's still
true that they don't like feeble dabs of
salad, tricked out in fancy dress. They

For proof that he's right. Stephen
invites you to examine menus Of the
last ten years as offered by restaurants
that cater to men. In those 'depres-
sion,' or recession or, at any rate,
more frugal years. you'll find that
salads become increasingly prominent
and also that food in general grows
more wholesome. Also more cosmo-
politan, with the best of Old World
dishes being combined skilfully with
our great American Dishes" Stephen
says. He likes some of the Old World
dishes enormously, but he is staunch
admirer of American cooking.

serious artist and highly successful

main business. And during his years
as art student and frequenter Of the

familiar with European cooking. But
the best food in the world is to be

of her dinner perfect. No wonder she
was heart-brokenw when her cake failed!
If only she had known the impor-
tance of the right baking powder. She
would have understood why 50 many
expert cooks rely on Royal for de-
pendable results every time.
You see Royal made with Cream of
Tartar, has a special steady action
that is different from most baking
powders. Royal begins its work the
moment it is stirred in the batter.
Thus the expansion of the batter is
continuous and ever. That is why
Royal cakes are 6ne-grained.. Light.
fluffy. Why they keep their delicious
moistness and flavor longer.
Many ordinary baking powders
seem to have an explosive, Hnsve~
action. Agreater part of the expansion
is delayed until the cake is in the oven.
Rising is often over-rapid. 1t may
blow the batter full of large holes.
Then the cake is coarse, dry, crumbly.
