0He'd Rather 60

or Keep Old Job
By FRANK MORRIS

Republicans have Unanswered
Secretary of State Harry F. Kelly
to the edge of a political precipice
and are about to push him into the
1912 governorship race whether he
likes ii or not.
Kelly is not particularly enthusi-
Astic about running against Gov
Murray d. Van Wagner. They are
friends. and they have co-operated
successfully-keeping their rela-
tons free from politics.
Truly Bipartisan Rule
While Atty. Gen. Herbert j
Rushton and Auditor Gen. Vernon
j. Brown have been sniping[at the
Democratic governor, Kelly has
been working with Van Wagner
to give the state truly bipartisan
administration.
II the secretary of state could
control his destiny. he probably
would chose 10 run for United
States senator, or accept another
term in his present office.
But because the Republican
Party elevated him from Detroit
manager of the liquor control COM
mission to his present high post,
he has an obligation he cannot
escape.
The plan Is that all COP lead.

Gfthur II. Vandenberg: rural mem

trail committee; former Gov. Viii
her NJ. Brucker and the Alger-
Colombo faction in Wayne; all
Republican elected officials: mem

Cut in Cheese Imports Proves
Boon to American Producers

which thus far have proved salts
factory for the average american
taste.
Although the real effect of the cut
in cheese imports was not felt by
the United States until late in 1910,
statistics show a decrease of As
per cent for the year, compared with
1899 imports. In 1899 the United
States imported 59,071 ,O59 pounds of
foreign cheese. And last year the
total had dropped to 30 1922 ,678
pounds. Exports of bulk cheese,
however. scared 107 per cent in jan
uary, 1941, compared with a year
ago, while processed cheese exports
increased 68 per cent.
Argentine and Brazil cheese in
dustries have found an expanding
market in the United States in al
most all types of foreign varieties
including Tilsit, Holanda, Swiss
Gruyere, Parmesan, Limburger,
Danish blue" Romano and Reg
giano.
Imports of blue cheese from the
Argentine jumped from 313 pounds
in 1899 to 123,90s pounds up to Sep
teinber, 1910, and authorities indi-
cate that the amount will continue
to increase.

Brisk Buying Lifts

Advance of Almost

By FRANKLIN MULLIN,

CHICAGO, March ga rapid eX-
pansion OF buying in the short grain
market session today skyrocketed
wheat prices almost 3 cents bushel
to the best levels since January and
carried other grains higher.
Traders attributed the buying to
dealers who were covering previous
short" sales and to milling interests
and public participants as well. They
said the wave of orders which grew
as the session progressed apparently
was inspired by reports that higher
loan rate may be put into effect for
the new crop, by prospects of pass
age of the lend-lease bill and by the
war situation. Strength in other
commodities encouraged support of
wheat.

Woolen piece goods mills operated

Prices tended higher.
Little was expected in the mems
wear branch of the industry, how
over: while millmen waited for
definite word on the amount of ma

business went to jobbers who were
overstocked in particular items.
Shortages in spring wear went un-
noticed by the trade as more and
more units were given over to manu-
facture of fall and winter fabrics.
Volume in rayon goods remained
heavy, with new orders in the
standard fabrics groups calculated
at about double production. Brisk

CHICAGO, March 8.-Sharp re-
duction in imports of famed foreign
cheeses as a result of the European
War has been a loss to American
gourmets, but a boon to the average
cheese consumer and the domestic
industry as a whole, produce au-

American cheese producers now
contend they can make all but one
foreign variety-genuine French
Roquefort requiring ewes milk. How
ever, by boring storage caves out
of limestone cliffs above the Mis-
sissippi and using cows milk, Wis
consin, Illinois and Minnesota pro-
ducers have developed a blue-mold
cheese which, it is said, only true
Roquefort connoisseur can distin-
guish from the real thing.
Imports of Roquefort totaled l.
600 900 pounds in the first six months
of 1910, but dropped to zero since the
fall of France. The last shipment
was in June, 1910, 116,908 pounds.

This represents gain of two

Extraordinary activity due to de-
