: THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE. THURSDAY, JULY 30, STEADY INCREASE IN COST OF GROCERIES New Peak Prices for Year Are Posted in Chicago Markets for Food Products Chicago, July 30—()—With the level of farm prices the highest since September, 1930, according ‘to official government figures, new peak prices of the year were posted Thursday in the Chicago commodities markets, where are established the values of agricultural products and the found- ations for the ultimate consumers’ grocery bills. Mirroring the devastation of drouth, the markets churned with excitement in scenes similar to those witnessed almost daily for six weeks as traders judgment of the cot of destruction of many varieties of crops was meas- ured in prices on the blackboards of the major exchanges, Wheat, rye, corn, butter, eggs, lard and potatoes quickly reached the 1936 peak levels when the markets opened for business. Heat and drouth have resulted in the sharpest July advance in egg fu- ture prices since 1925, veteran traders on the mercantile exchange said. Since the first of July, October de- livery eggs have climbed from 24% cents a dozen to 27 cents, the peak which was reached in early trading ‘Thursday. Potato futures on the mercantile exchange were at new peaks for 1936 in early dealings. Potatoes for Janu- ary delivery sold up to $2.45 per hundred pound sack. November butter advanced % cents to a new 1936 peak of 34% cents a pound, highest price in July since 1930. Mill Firm Will Stop False Advertising’ Washington, July 30.—(?)—The fed- eral trade commission had announced ‘Thursday General Mills, Inc., Min- neapolis, had agreed by stipulation “to cease false and misleading advertis- ing” in the sale of a cereal designated as “Wheaties.” The company will no longer adver- tise that the whole wheat which goes into the cereal contains “almost twice the body-building protein of corn,” the commission said. ‘The commission said the company admitted using fictitious impersona- tions in radio advertising and had agreed to stop “representng that any of the proceeds from the sale of ‘Wheaties is used to defray the costs of an operation or medical attention for @ fictitious person named in a broadcast, or that any such operation or medical attention is dependent upon the sale of Wheaties.” All the larger buildings of New Orleans rest on wooden pile founda-! tions.

Nine seats in the province's 55- member legislature are undecided, including two for which voting will not be held until next month. The Liberal-Progressive govern- ment of Premier John Backen must win eight of them to maintain its control. Of the 46 seats for which returns are complete, the government has won 21. It needs 29 for a bare ma- jority as the election of a speaker cuts down the government strength by one. Chief opposition is from Errick Willis, youthful conservative leader, who increased his party's strength from 10 in the last legislature to 14 with several more possibilities in the | undecided constituencies.

BRACKEN STRENGTH wil CALLS FOR FIREMEN REDUCED LAST YEAR Two Major Conflagrations Make Property Loss Heavy in 12-Month Period Despite a heavy increase in the es- timated property loss due to two ma- jor conflagrations, | fires to which the Bismarck firemen were called fell off from 82 last year to 72 for the fiscal period ending Jun | 30, the annual report of Fire Chief | Ryder Hamro shows. | Flames, which destroyed the Ar- mour Creamery Co, plant and the Da- | kota Seed Store warehouse and dam- aged eight other commercial and pub- lic structures, 36 residences and three private garages, are known to have caused a property loss greater than last year although no official figures are available for comparison. Sixty-four of the 72 runs made by the local fire laddies were on alarms and eight were on still calls, Hamro reported. There were no false alarms as compared to three during the pre- vious 12-month period. In 1934 a to- tal of 92 runs were made by the de- partment. Firemen got in 33'2 working hours on runs, laid 13,500 feet of hose, work- ed a pumping engine a total of seven hours, used 140% gallons of chemicals and traveled 61 miles to and from fires by truck. In line with the fire prevention work they filled 124 extinguishers throughout the city. Defective wiring was giving first Place among the causes. Fifteen of the fires starting from this source. In second place were dirty or defective chimneys and stove pipes and ci- garettes, each being responsible for nine. MiscelManeous or unknown causes numbered 29, gasoline or oil explo- sions four, burning rubbish three, children playing with matches two | and hot ashes one. Nineteen of the fires had already been extinguished when the firemen arrived and 17 did not require the use of either water or chemicals, the re- port shows. Water was used to put out 15 of the fires, chemicals were used on 12 and in eight casts the chimneys were cleaned out. 2 SLAIN IN RED RIOT Monterey, Mexico, July 30.—(4)— Two men were slain and seven wound- ed, it was learned Thursday, in a night gun fight between red workers and members of the Civic National- istic organization here.

Landon wrote Norman Thomas Thursday that labor unions have the right “to promote by lawful and proper means the organization of an unorganized industry, which include the right to send in an or- ganizer.” The Republican nominee's letter was in reply to a communication from the Socialist candidate for president in which Thomas asked for an elaboration of Landon's accept- ance speech statement that employe freedom from coercion “means as I read it, entire freedom from coercion or intimidation by the employer, any fellow employe or any other person.” “In my statement which you quote,” Landon wrote, “there is noth- ing to suggest that I am in favor of infringing in any way the right of free speech or free assembly. “I am opposed to any such in- fringement. The workers have the right to meet among themselves or with others Of their own choice to promote organization, with complete freedom from interference from any- one whatsoever. The workers should be fully protected in this right by the authorities.” In his letter to Thomas, Landon referred to a lead and zinc mine suike in Kansas of June and July, 35. “I acceded to a request, jointly pro- ferred by the sheriff and prosecuting attorney of Cherokee county that I send troops to maintain order,” Lan- don said. “I instructed the troops through the adjutant general of Kan- sas to maintain order, to disarm all armed civilians, including the armed guards employed by the smelter and mine operators, and those that may have been armed on behalf of the la- bor groups. ... “The troops, however, were directed | not to interfere with labor meetings! and other activities of the strikers, so ACTOR FUTILE {LANDON ELABORATES] KNOX RETURNS 1 Predicting a big Republican sweep all over New England and expressing confidence the G. 0.
