CROP PRICE INCREASE

An increased demand for oils and fats, coupled
with deceased imports, has contributed to the strik
ing rise in soybean prices which has occurred in
recent months, according to press dispatches from
Chicago, where market quotations have been the
highest in four years.
This comparatively cash crop, whose pro-
duction almost negligible up to about dozen
years ago, is now grown more than 10 million
acres with every prospect of continued and rapid
increase. The largest acreage is found in Illinois,
but production is large in all states of the

Anniversary Observed
By Organized Travel

NEW YORK, July 5-Organized
pleasure travel observed its Tooth
birthday anniversary today.
1t was on July S, 184l, that Thomas
Cook operated the first publicly ad-
vertised tour from Leicester to
Loughborough, in England, for
which he chartered special train of
the Midlands Railway and booked
$40 passengers. Within 10 years he
had extended his tourist system to
all parts of the British Isles and had
carried out the first pleasure cruise.
taking several hundred passengers
on the steamer Eclipse from Liver
pool to Carnarvon and other places
of interest along the Welsh coast.
In 1851, Thomas Cook & Son took
l65 900 visitors to the first Worlds
Fair, held in London's famous Crys-
tai Palace, erected in Hyde Park.
Thomas Cook made his first visit
to the United States in 1866. In
that year he brought his first group
of English tourists to the United
States, visiting among other places
of interest the historic battlefields of
the Revolutionary and Civil Wars.
In 1872, soon after the completion
of our first transcontinental rail-
road, ne set sail from Liverpool with
the first escorted tour around the
world, crossing our Western plains
on the Union Pacific Railroad and
continuing by trans-Pacif1c steamer
to the Far East. Cooks first Amer
lean of1ce was established in 1872
In New York. The organization
now includes $50 offices on six con-
tinents.
In 1927, Cooks planned and car
ried out the first escorted tour by
air, flight from New York to Chi
cago, arranged in connection with
the Dempsey -Tunney championship
bout. No regular passenger air
services existed between these two
cities at that time. The tour was
made by specially chartered planes
and included ringside seats for the
now historic Battle of the Long
Count"
Commenting on the present world
situation as 1t affects the business of
travel, Harold White, president of
Thomas Cook d Son in America,
said:
obviously these are dificult
times, with such . large part Of the
world closed to pleasure travel.
However, new avenues of tourism
are rapidly developing in our West
ern Hemisphere. Above all, Amer
leans are discovering the United
States.
when this war is over I think
we may expect a surge of travel
similar to that which followed the
