D., April 6.—(?)—Per- sonality is a combination of charac- teristies with which one is born, and training, Dr. William J. Cooper, Unit- ed States commissioner of education, said Monday in speaking at the Mi- not State Teachers’ college. Personality, in its fullest develop- ment, must be built, Dr. Cooper said, and added it is the duty of the teach- er to help the pupil make the most ot what each has in his personal equipment.

National Grain Body Heads Meet Tuesday St. Paul, April 6—()—A stockhold- ers meeting of the Farmers’ National Grain corporation will be conducted ‘Tuesday at Chicago where future pol- icies of the organization will be con- sidered. Those who will attend the meeting are M. W. Thatcher, general manager of the Farmers’ Union Terminal as- sociation, St. Paul; W. J. Kuhrt, gen- eral manager of the Northwest Grain association, Minneapolis, and George Duis, president of the North Dakota- Montana Wheat Growers, Grand Forks, members of the directorate of the Farmers National. The annual meeting is expected to consider the world wheat situation ‘and resolutions urging farmers to cooperate with the Federal Farm board in seeking to reduce acreage by 25 per cent and bring production in line with domestic requirements, Hyde Says Optimism Growing in South Kansas City, April 6—(P}—Secre- tary Arthur M. Hyde says optimism has arisen in drought-stricken areas of the south. “I found the section I visited,” he said on his arrival here Friday night, “getting back in shape in good fash- Commenting on current business conditions, R. G, Dun. and company says: “The moderately better business conditions of the first quarter having been appraised, the main interest now converges on probable trends over the next three months. Many con- fusing elements still prevail, and the outlook is not ‘clearly defined, yet un- certainty is a natural concomitant of economic readjustment and the pres- ent period is marked by- unusually complex problems. Progress is being made, however, in surmounting the obstacles arising from the dislocation of world trade, and this obviously is a necessary pre- liminary’ to the ultimate recovery which is confidently expected. De- spite the numerous unsatisfactory as- Pects thai still appear, there is con- crete evidence of a lessening of un- settlement in various quarters, al- though complete stability is yet to be attained, “Strengthening of the financial.and commercial. structure, even if not plainly revealed in surface move- the forces of rehabilitation should be- come more prominent and effective with the passing of time. The de- velopments of the current week, so far as they have indicated any new turn in the situation, have been largely negative. Some emphasis has been placed upon the slight recession. in steel output, but it has come only after an uninterrupted rise since the beginning of this year, and a. let- down now is seasonal. Against that check to industrial activities, oper- ations in some other branches of manufacture, including footwear, have risen further, while Easter demands, notwithstanding the retarding influ-. ence of inclement weather in many centers, gave the customary impetus to retail distribution. Generalization in analyzing week- to-week changes in business is ren- dered the more difficult by the ex- ceptional phases of the transition, but the many contrasting tendencies do not obscure the undercurrent of im- provement in some basic lines. Sta* tistical barometers are being closely watched for signs of reversal of their adverse comparisons, and the recent gain in railroad freight traffic, al- though not sufficiently long sustained to be conclusive, is a hopeful feature. | Similarly, the narrower decline in Dun’s commodity price index is en- couraging, a better exhibit in this re- spect having been made for two con- Secutive months. ~ Hector Airport Is Donated to Fargo Fargo, April 6—(?)—Hector Air- Port, the 160-acre tract of land just north of the city which has been used @ municipal flying field for the last five years, was presented to the city of Fargo Monday by Martin Hector, to become the city’s permanent mun- icipal airport.

Big Spring, Tex., April 6.—(NEA)— If little pitchers had big ears, what a romantic story of the old south would have been heard by a tiny hand-cut. glass receptacle that has survived five generations in the illustrious Byrd family of Virginia and which is now in the possession of Mrs. Earl Philips, @ Byrd descendant, of this city.
