Rotary Inter national Starts Annual Meeting Wheat Prices Tumble with the Large Surplus Monday's Mark 50 Cents Under Last Year; Argentine and Can ada Meet Decline Chicago. May I'T. Dollar wlb-at. once the ho'ie and of late the dread of the farmer, became his ambition tgain Monday as a flood of selling swept grain prices to record low 1 vels. May wheat was submerged to DSrs ents on the Chicago hoard of trade, drop of 2 r,t cents from Saturday's losing price and the lowest price for Mav delivery since Sentemhi r. inie, when a sale at outs v a- recorded. Six vears aea cash wheat old at !M" cents in July. Wheat Monday was for sab' at pricas a( cents a bushel less than a year ago and more than X11 cents under the beak .of the stason in February. Since then, wheat has been on the tobogan, the skids greased by an immovable surplus f the commodity left over from last year's enormous North Amer ican crop. C?r-ada Meets Price That surplus still is the prime factor in the glutted market, every price reduction and freignt rate cut here has be"n met by competing prices in Canada and the Argentine, and prevailing estimates Monday held that 330.000. 00ft bushels would be carried over at the end of this crop year, throughout the world. The immediate factor Monday was the weakness of the Liverpool grain market and a contributing cruise was rain in the Canadian wheat belt, in suring a favorable start of the spring heat crop. Already the harvest is under way in the American south west, beginning new competition with the old crop in storage. FLIGHT AGAIN DELAYED Old Orchard. Me. Cross winds and rain toward mid-Atlantic Mon day caused another day's delay in the proposed flight of the Green Flash" to Rome. Lewis A. Yancey, navi gator of the plane, said that no at tempt would lie made to take off Tuesday. It was not believed that the French plane. Yellow Bird, would start, but final decision rested with Armeno Lotti. sponsor of the flight to Paris, who flew to New York on Monday to better observe weather reports. No work was done on either of the large monoplanes, the Green Flash remained in the hangar and the Yel low Bird rested on the sands out side. STATE NO LONGER IS FISH HAWKER Lincoln. May 27. The state is going out of the goldfish business for keeps and hereafter the slate supply will be available only for parks and cities. State Game Warden Frank O'Connell announced Monday. A desire upon the part of the new game commission to refrain from competing in a business manner with private interests and the fact that the goldfish business profitable, combined abandonment of the plained. From now on. he f will handle which will br has not been to stimulate work, he ex- id, hatcheries only the larger fish available for park use. Old Archard. Me. Continued un favorable weather conditions over the Atlantic Sunday caused af urther de lay in the proposed hopoffs of two European-bound planes, the Yellow Bird, French monoplane, and the Green Flash, with Borne as its destin ation, remained on the ground while the live fliers spent the day quietly. Armino Lotti. sponsor of the Yellow Birds projected hop to Paris, and Lewis A. Yancey, navigator of the American plane, said they would not take off before Tuesday.

Liv ingston Attends. Dallas, Texas, May 27. Bearing a message of international friendship and goodwill from communities all over the world, the representatives of more than 3,000 Rotary clubs which have been organized in 4S countries were gathered in Dallas to today. As business and professional men representative of their cities, they have come to exchange their ideas and experiences in the daily conferences from which the coming year's program of service will emrge to be carried back into all corners of the world. The first of these as semblies, Tuesday afternoon, will present one of the most novel series of international craft conventions ever seen. A hundred groups of delegates, divided according to their . daily vocations, will meet tomorrow ! to discuss the improvement of rela- ' tions between employer and em-1 ployee, between buyer and seller, and between competitors and the desir-'. ability of international associations of merchants and professional men of various lines. As conveners of these craft assemblies, the Dallas Ro- j tarians will in most cases entertain these informal gatherings in their own places of business. j These assemblies follow the formal j opening of the convention Tuesday ; morning by I. B. Sutton, of Tampico, j Mexico, international president,, whose presidential message will ie-; view the activities of the past year and point to some of the problems 1 confronting the Rotary leaders of the j next administration and whose selec- lion will be announced rnday morn ing, after the convention ballots are counted. Most of the thousands of visitors nad arrived by Monday evening, in ! time for the first of a series of splen did entertainments. Governor Dan Moody of Texas and Mayor J. Waddy Tate of Dallas extended a'n official welcome to the Rotarians gathered in the Fair Park Stadium. President Sutton responded briefly and the "Procession of Flags" of each of the 4S countries in which there are Ro tary clubs wended its colorful way imo the stadium, to the music of the national anthems from a concert band. The president of the Dallas Rotary club, Norman R. Crozier, who is superintendent of schools, invited five hundred high school girls to form the cast of this pageant of pat riotism. Each flag was escorted by nine young ladies, costumed in the typical dress of the country repre sented by the flag they carried. "When all were gathered in the stadium around a great Rotary wheel, they formed a vivid picture of the spirit of international understanding which Rotarians ndeavor to foster for the advancement of world peace. At various times in its picturesque his tory, Gove rnor Moody said, the state of Texas had been under six flags Spanish, French, Mexican, and the flags of the Texas Republic, of tho Southern Confederacy and the Unit ed States of America. Now, he said, the Texans are hosts to thousands whose allegiance is di vided among 4S flags, but who share common aspirations for the establish ment of world wide friendship and peace. This pageant brought together for ! the first time the delegates and visi tors to the twentieth annual con-1 vention of Rotary International. This afternoon the voting delegates met I to discuss proposed resolutions, while many of the others entertained by the presentation of "Rotary School" by the Rotary Club of Nashville, J Tennessee. Among the dozen or more resolutions debated today, which will be voted on Thursday, was one pro posed by the Rotary clubs of Great Britain and Ireland to discontinue use of that part of the Rotary motto which declares "He Profits Most Who Serves Best" because they feel it in jects a motive of profit in the "Ser vice Above Self" which should be entirely unselfish. Another resolution proposed would establish the convention custom of the past decade as a regular rule, requiring every third or fourth con vention to be held in the United States. Annual conventions have been held in Edinburgh, Scotland; Toronto, Canada, and Ostend, Bel gium, in the past ten years. The 1930 convention will be held in Chicago, to celebrat- the silver Jubilee of the organization, but the 1931 conven tion would be held outside North America if this resolution is adopted. The Wichita party landed at Love Field, Dallas' airport, today in a fleet of airplanes to advertise the import ance of their city as an airplane manufacturing center. The Schnec tady delegation also came by plane. Special trains kept rolling in all day, and many of them will con tinue south and west after the con vention, on visits to Mexico and the Pacific coast, andw estern national parks. Sections of the New England, New York and other eastern parties have made plans for extensive tours of Mexico, and these proposed visits have drawn to Dallas an unusual number of Rotarians from Mexico who will accompany their guests across the Rio Grande next Friday night. The European delegation, which arrived Sunday, spent its "touring time 3 If" i The Dealers Announce The First Co-operative Used Car Sale Week A Special Showing and Sale Starting June 3rd and Ending on Saturday, June 8th, Throughout Omaha Branch Territory Various makes, both Ford and others are included in this sale.

Iiell, Lancaster county assessor. This despite the fact that selling prices are generally lower.
