WEDNESDAY, AUGUST II Bun Francisco, .Aug. 26 Im provement In business and trade In the twelfth federal reserve district, first noted during June, continued during July, and genernl business activity during the latter voionth was near lUe highest levels of the year. The prospect of satisfactory yields of the district's principal crops, nn-i favorable market con ditions for crops and livestock were important factors In the mainten ance of trade volume during the mouth. Industrial activity increas ed seasonally during July and, as In the previous month, was above the level of a year ago. Gains In Industrial employment were ported In all states of the district during July, 1925, as compared with July, 1024. The volume of credit extended by reporting mem ber banks during July, 1925,' wns the largest ever recorded, but bor rowings from the federal reserve bank continued relatively small In amount. Lumber production at reporting milts of four associations In the dUtf trlct was fi.4 per cent smaller In volume during July than during June, the decrease being the re fiu It,, chiefly of the customary cui tallment of lumbering operations during the first two weeks of July Out put of reporting mills was smaller than either sales or ship ments, which also decreased slight ly during July, and unfilled orders were larger, and stocks at produc ing centers smaller, at the close the month than at Its beginning. During July, the flour milling Industry of the district con tinned to operate at the low levels of the first half of the year, but an In creased demand for milling pro ducts wns reported and millers tocks of flour were reduced. Pro duction of 16 reporting milling com panics, at 275,634 barrels, was 0.2 per cent and 40.4 per cent smaller than In June, 1025, and July, 1924, respectively, and 26.7 per cent smaller than the five-year average output for July. Seasonal activity In commercial fruit canning and packing continu ed during July and the first part of August. Available information concerning canners' operations tends to confirm earlier estimates that the 1925 canned fruit pack will bo larger In California, and smaller In Oregon and Washing ton than one year ago. Prices of Important canning fruits were ad vanced during July, as future sales of the year's pack, In both foreign and domestic markets, continued large in volume. An increase In wool production, both in this district and in the United States, Is indicated by pre liminary government estimates of the- 1925 clip. Value of trade at retail, as In dicated by indexes of sales of 32 : department stores In seven princi pal cilles of the district, declined 8.8 per cent during July as com pared with June. The decrease was less than the normal seasonal de crease from June to July, estimat ed at 10.7 per cent, and the Index, when adjusted for seasonal varia tions, advanced from 147 In June, 1925, to 150 In July, 1925. In July 1024, the adjusted index stood at 142. The rate of stock turnover at reporting stores has been more rapid, and collections hnve been more readily made during 1025 than during 1924. Wholesale trade during July was more active than a year ago. MONEY AWAITS SHEEP GROWERS Washington, Aug. 26. (A. P.) The department of agriculture has $238,206.46 It doesn't know what to do with. It belongs to some sheep growers but the de partment cannot find out who they are. In 1918 the war induetrke bonrd fixed the price of wool and limited the profits of dealers, who were required to turn back to the government for distribution to growers all profits exceeding a certain amount. The excess profits of that year amounted to 21,489.866 of which $74,144 has been collected and so far as possible turned over to the growers. It has been Impossible to obtain a record of the owners of the balance and it has about been decided to turn It Into the miscellaneous receipts of the United States treasury.

He's just like jour milkman's bourse after going over the route a few times he knows just where and when to start and stop. When the Hinglings commis sioned me to train a hundred and fifty horses to perform in unison, I Immediately said that there was! but one way to accomplish this feat. I would have to have a ' hippodrome track in winter quart ers large enough to work the en-, tire number at one time. I would have to have a separate barn where the hundred and fifty could be stabled together. These were giv- to mo. For four months the same hundred and fifty were kept together day and night and always In the same relative position. That is why they never lose their places, no matter how Intricate the for mations that nre expected of them. It was the biggest Job I ever tackled. No more than sixty-eight horses were ever before taught to perform In unison. Some people are skeptical us to our five rings.

To work towards a mutual drive for economy in cost of government, representatives from 12 westnrn stntcs met here yesterday for the third annunl session of the Western Etates Taxpayers' con ference. Governor Pierce, In his address, declared that the sum total of taxes cannot be reduced owing to the rapidly Increasing demands of eo clcty, but urged a more even dis tribution of the tnxpaylng bur den. The governor cited a vast array of figures to show the rich cor porations paid a very low tax on a high valuation. This valuation was proved by returns made to the federal income tax department, whereas the valuatlcfi made to county and stnte were very low, he said. Pierce declared the farmer Is still carrying the tax burdens and that efforts should be found to distribute this burden to corpora tions and wealthy bond and mort gage holders. n AWT SPAT Matinees lOo o M D THE mas NOW at the GRAND CECIL D.

Thin mileage, completed In the year ending June 30, cost a total of 12,305,316, of which the federal government furnished $1,323,270. Highway construction under this plan now undor way In the state totals 13Q miles, while the total mileage completed previous to last year was 655 miles. This additional mileage, while a convenience to the tourist in the state, is a godsend to the farmer, according to the foundation. It is estimated that each and every farmer in this section of the coun try averages 69 tons of farm pro ducts' hauled to market and 13 tons" of feed, fuel, fertilizer, machinery, supplies, etc., from town. When good roads make trucks feasible this is not very burdensome, but it represents a good many hours' labor where horses and poor roads must be ued, And so while the tourist findjs lnter-city roads mighty comfortable, to the farm er a good serviceable road from his farm to the nearest market 1 a downright necossity. The expansion of hard road sys tems both in this and other states in recent years has given the farm er an added Inducement for going into business for himself, the foun dation states. That he has not been slow to take advantage of the op portunity is testified in the increas iny number of roadside markets ore the more frequented highways. Figures Bhow that each of theso markets takes in fifteen to thirty dollars up to several hundred dol lars a day, varying with the local ity, the preponderance of buyerH being tourists driving through the vicinity. Soma" of those are noth ing more than stands of simple board construction while the more pretentious arc housed in build ings which may bo locked after the day's or the season's business. The most successful of the markets are so placed as to have conven ient parking facilities where pros pective buyers may examine the articles of goods, which should be of good quality yet moderately priced and attractively displayed.
