Prices were not materially changed Although quotations on winter wheat Reclined slightly with premiums being deduced toward a new crop basis.

The Canadian crop averages from four to five inches high and is well rooted and of excellent color according to the Manitoba free press. Dry, cool weather has retarded growth, however and the crop has lost most of the advantage of the early start. Warm weather with good rains is needed since rainfall during April and May was relatively light. Conditions in Europe continue generally favorable with no market ren in duction from last year' prospect. The condition of winter wheat in Germany is favorable. In the countries of the lower Danube crop conditions are more favorable than last season when unusually heavy winter killing materially reduced the flinal outturn. The largest acreage Bince 1927 is reported in France'but production is expected to be below the unusually large crop of last year. Prospects in Italy indicate a crop of 25 to ., million bushels below last seasonXccordnig to trade and official estimate. A considerable part of this reduction is in the southern provinces where much of the durum wheat is produced. The Spanish crop is now placed at the record figure of 161 million bushels, which is somewhat more than the usual domestic p ii it AUTOMOBILE 1 I- l 3c-5- PARKING IS VITAL TO COMMUNITY ever-increasi- ng $1.10-$1.1- $1.02-$1.0- S1.12-S1.1- 4c-6- $1.04-$1.109- 4. remains unoticed, if present. And don't for a moment imagine that the call of Spring to the home gardener is one whit less appealing than that or the swishing wind to the fisherman or the caressing breeze to the lover.

Pacific Coast markets were mostly inactive because of the light export inquiry and limited takings by local mills.

Montana dark, northern spring in bulk with 14 protein was quoted $1.15 and No. hard winter S1.13 per bushel. A few parcel sales about equally divided between red and white wheats were made to the United Kingdom during the past two weeks, but there was practically no trading with the Orient The sharp reduction in silver exchange has restricted buying by Oriental imports and Chinese dealers are reported to have requested the cancellation of old contracts or to have asked deferred delivery. Shipments out of Columbia River points from July through May have totaled 18,-450,000 bushels this season against against 21,679,000 last year New crop prospects in Washington and Oregon continue favorable but farmers are not pressing old crop grain upon the market and 15 to 20 million bushels are yet available for market accord ing to trade estimates. California wheat markets continued dull and prices tended lower with the approach of new crop gram. Quota tions at San Francisco were lowered c per cwt during the week with No. 1 hard and soft white wheat quoted that market June 6 at Some new crop wheat was being contracted on the basis of $1.75 $1.80 per cwt for No. 1 hard winter sacked delivered; May receipts at that market totaled 6,510 tons, of which slightly over 4000 tons were of northern wheat. Old wheat stocks in California are low and prospects for the new crop are irregular. A good yield is in prospect in the Sacremento Val ley and in irrigated section of the San Joapquin but the crop is heading short in otner areas because of lack of moisture. Harvesting has begun but is not expected to be general for two or three weeks as repening has been retarded by cool weather. The Los Angeles market held about unchanged during the week with good milling wheat selling around 0 and 0 feed, wheat per cwt Mills were" fairly active buyers of baart wheat but offerings were principally of weed types with a good proportion of northern wheat shipped by water from Portland.

At the tame time, the amount of retail business done in a community and ihe amount of business to be derived from motor traffic depends to no little degree upon the amount of available curb parking space. A given block can accommodate only so many automobiles an adjacent lot has a given capacity and no more. Therefore, it is a problem jf two things: turn over of space or getting more cars in and out of Vie space in a given length of time, and eliminating the deadhead or cars that occupy the available space. The first is a matter of a parking limit, requiring a city ordinance, taking into consideration that the specified time limit is equitable; such an ordinance is only as good as the enforcement. The second is business judgment and forsight and i matter of common, every-da- y jooperative fairness by and among the business men and citizens in ereneral, and in this way the parking space of most communities can be, figuratively speaking, increased all the way from 10 to In a recent survey of parking conditions in a midwestern city, it was learned that of the parked cars in the downtown area (the check of being made in the morning, at noon and in the late afternoon) 23 the available parking space was occupied continuously from morning to night by the same cars, 81 of which were cars owned by local business and professional people, two merchants having two cars each for jhe full day; also that the average parking time per car was two and lf hours; therefore, each car parked continuously deprived three Mid h customers of a space to park. In other words, the in this town, by their carelessness, thoughtlessness, or for their wn convenience, were driving a fifth of this trade away. At the same time, this survey proved that in many cases local merchants had ample parking space at the rear of their stores and some of them had available garage space, unoccupied. The majority of the merchants in this town complained of lack of business, or stated that they could "stand" more business; many "cried" about business, when they could, by a little thinking, plus a very small amount of effort and inconvenience automatically make possible an increase in business of from 15 to 20 for themselves and the community. You cannot expect business from your trade zone, from other towns or from motor traffic if you do not provide for potential customers to park the cars they use as a means to get to your city. And remember, if your community, your town doesn't do it, some other town will, and the town that does it will get the business. out-tur- t "DOCTpRo TOWNS Stone.

This light demand for North American wheat may be attrib uted to the larger utilization of native wheats and the prevailing trade restrictions. The French wheat import duty has been increased to 85 c per bushel with 97 native wheat required in milling mixtures. Italy has a duty of 86 c per bushel while the German tariff has been increased to 97 c per bushel, and milling regula tion requiring utilization of 50 of native wheat required in milling mixtures have been regulated to June 8, Wheat imports are prohibited in Spain bo long as the domestic price in one 1.76 month does not exceed per bushel. United States wheat continues to encounter sharp competition from India and Argentine wheat in European markets. On June 6. 62 pound Argentine Rosafe was selling in liver- pool at Sl.17 compared with quota' tions for No. 2 hard winter $1.17 from HJs United States and choice Karachi wheat from India. French parcels were being offered at $1.0194 and No. 2 Canadian Manitoba at $1.25 per bushel. With only small amounts being taken for export and with mills supplying only current needs, market stocks in North Amer ica are being reduced very slowly: 147,068.000 bushels of Canadian wheat are still in store in North American markets while stocks of United States wheat in store in both the U. S. and Canada total approximately 125 mil lion bushels, or about 23 million bush els more than a year ago. About 5 of the public and private elevator space usually utilized for the storage of gram in United States markets was filled at the first of July. This com at the corres- pares with about 55 a time year ago. pandmg Wheat: Cash markets were relative ly weaker than futures for winter wheat reflecting the approaching movement of the new crop CTain but were taking only sufficient wheat Local mills were the principal buyers Hard for immediate requirements. winter wheat prices declined around c 2c per bushel, and soft winter in On principal distributing markets.

If the advertisement is fundamentally good. its position on the page become less than secondary. A good ad will be read. It wil be commented upon. It will sell roods. It irks me to see a merchant spend hundreds of dollars on store fixtures, lay in a supply of the newest merchandise and then grumble and rave when an advertising man wants him to invest in a little space. He fails to see that store fixtures and goods are of no avail unless some one knows about them. As soon as the average merchant foreets "how much will it cost and and says "how does a much can I invest," then the whole plane of modern newspaper advertis ing will be improved and results per ad will be better.

An example of the value built into the Ford is the use of more than twenty ball and roller bearings. They are hidden Within the car and you may never see them. Yet they play an important part in satisfactory, economical performance. Their function is similar to the jewels of! a fine watch. Throughout the Ford chassis, a ball or roller bearing is used at every place where it is needed to reduce friction! and wear and give smooth, reliable mechanical operation. At many points, as on the transmission counter-shaf- t, clutch release, fan and and front drive shaft, these shaft, pump ball and roller bearings are used where less costly types of bearings might bo considered adequate. ing use by Federal, state and city governments and by large industrial companies which keep careful records. In most instances, the Ford has been chosen only after exhaustive tests of every factor that contributes to good performance speed, power, safety, com fort, low cost of operation and upkeep, reliability and long life. Prominent among the companies using the Ford are the Associated Companies of the Dell System, Armour and Company, The Borden Company, Continental Baking Corporation, Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, General Electric Company, Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, Kellogg Company, Knickerbocker Ice Company, Morton Salt Company, Pillsbury Flour Mills Company, The Procter and Gamble Company, and Swift & Company. Each of these companies uses a large number of Ford cars and trucks. The Associated Companies of the Bell System use more than eight thousand. Modem business moves at a fast pace and it needs the Ford. Daily, in countless ways and places, it helps to speed the production and delivery of the world's goods and extend the useful service of men and companies. Constant, steady operation over many thousands ' of miles emphasizes the advantages of the sound design of the Ford car, its high quality of materials, and day-by-dayc- ost Additional instances of the high quality built into the Ford are the ex tensive use of steel forgings, fully enclosed four-whebrakes, Rustless double-actinHoudaille four hySteel, el g s, draulic shock absorbers, aluminum chrome silicon alloy valves, e torque-tubdrive, three-quartfloating and the Triplex shatter-proorear axle, glass windshield.
