Experiencing the first improvement in nearly four years, wholesale and retail trade fea tured the advance in tenth district business conditions in May, sajs the monthly review of the federal reserve bank of Kansas City. "The rise in agricultural commodity prices, which was so abrupt in April tho continuing in May, was less rapid," the report continues. "Returning confidence is also indi cated by increases in savings, net demand, and time deposits at banks during the month, and for the sec-j ond consecutive month loans and dis counts at fifty-three selected member j banks increased. Business insolven-j cies were less numerous tha nfor any since 1923 and liabilities the small est since 1929." Referring to the condition of agri culture .the review said weather during the fore part of June was both ideal for harvesting and haying and injurious to growing crops. Win ter wheat production will be smaller than for any year since 1904, with the outlook for other spring grains poor. A fair i hay crop is in prospect and corn, altho late, has not been injured seriously as yet." Returning to trade conditions, the review notes that "May dollar sales of five representative wholesale lines combined were 19.5 percent larger than in April, the first increase for the month in four years and the larg est in fourteen years of record. They were also larger than a year ago. May being the first month in about four years to show an increase over the corresponding month of the pre- ceding year. "Total dollar sales of thrty-two re porting department stores were also larcer in May than in April this year or May last year. The 4.6 per cent increase over April was I the first since 192i and the increase of 9.8 percent over May 1932 was the first for any month since May, 1930." From Friday's Daily Attorney G. L..

Therefore we urge that you Be Careful ' but Insure to be Sure Buxbury S Davi s Government Lays Down Rules for Employment Hen to Be Used in Place of Machinery "Decent" Wage Scale, and Limit on Honrs. Washington. For the first time the federal government, in the ex penditure of the 400 million dollars on the nation's highway system, will prescribe the conditions under which labor shall be employed. Regulations prepared by Dr. Rex ford G. Tugwell, assistant secretary of agriculture, seek to put in effect the Roosevelt theories of protecting the laboring man, which is the key note of the codes being prepared for submission to the industrial control administration. These rules go much further than the earlier requirements. merely that labor employed on pub lic works shall be paid the prevailing wage scale of the community. A L-mit on Working Honrs. All highway contracts must pro vide that no employee shall work more than thirty hours a week as "far as practical and feasible," and where conditions require longer work weeks that the maximum shall not be more than eight hours a day or forty hours in any one week. Wherever feasible, the regulations require the use of a maximum of hu man labor in lieu of machinery. All contracts shall provide mini mum rates of wages to be predeter mined by the state highway depart ment, and stated in the advertise ment for bids. "Such wages shall be just and rea sonable compensation to provide, for the hours of labor as limited, a standard of living in decency and comfort," the regulations stipulate. Workers on highway jobs shall be paid in currency, and no deductions shall be made on account of goods purchased or obligations incurred at company stores or commissaries. Preference to Veterans. Ex-service men with dependents shall be given preference in the em ploying of workers. The contractors are required to furnish copies of their pay rolls under oath. Workers shall be obtained through employment agencies designated by the United States employment serv ice. Restrictions are placed against the use of prison-made materials, and preference is required for goods and materials made and produced in the United States. A contractor who vio lates the regulations will be black listed in the awarding of later high way contracts. DIES AT OMAHA From Friday's Dally This morning at the St. Joseph hos pital at Omaha occurred the death of John Price, of Springfield, a for mer resident of this city and known to a large circle of old friends.

A 20 million acre reduction of the nation's corn land thru a processing tax on livestock was suggested to the midwest by Secretary of Agriculture Wallace as the means of averting overproduc tion in beef cattle and hogs, which he described as imminent. "I'm tell ing you," the secretary asserted, "there'll be a definite over-supply of fat cattle in several "years and a tar iff won't help you. If we have two normal corn crops we'll have an over-supply of hogs, too. The foreign market has been lost. We are de pendent on domestic consumption." Secretary Wallace, describing him self as a "corn and hog man" from Iowa, arrived from Des Moines by train, unaccompanied and packing his own handbag; addressed a meet ing of agriculturists and business men here; conferred with Prof. M.

"If twenty million acres of corn were taken out of production," be said, "it would mean corn prices would rise and the average feeder makes more money when tho price of corn is high than when it is down. High prices would not bring in the inexperienced feeder. I think you will conclude that if twenty million acres of the 100 million now in production were taken out, it would be definitely favorable for the livestock man."
