FARMING FEELS BRUNT OF WAR IN EXPORT CUT Wallace Assistant Tells Lions Why Boom Hasn't Come Europe's war is a matter if immediate and important concern in the national economy of the United States and there is every likelihood that the economic controls now being exercised by Britain and France--and assuming their victory will continue into the post war period. This was the viewpoint expressed by James L. McCamy, assistant to the secretary of agriculture in Washington, D. in a talk Wednesday noon before the Mason City Lions club. Mr.

McCamy, a Texan, presented some newly developed figures to show how seriously Ihe integrated import policy of France and England had reduced American agricultural imports. Those who expected a boom as in the World war were sadly disappointed. In the case of England-there has been a slight increase in the purchase of cotton, prunes and canned peaches, as compared with prewar times, but in the matter of lard, cured pork, wheat, apples, pears, raisins, canned grapefruit and many other items there has been a startling drop of American imports. On Route of Test Run "The whole problem," he added, "hinges on the fact that the business has to be on a dollar basis. The allies naturally go where they can deal in credit or in barter, thus enabling them to save their dollars for the purchase of air- Pritchard Motor company of Mason City will be on the route of the Mercury Economy Run sponsored by the Ford Motor company.

She had been a resident of the Rockwell community for the past 60 years. Mrs.

Piersol was born Sept. 17, 1854, in Chickasaw county. She is survived by a son, Hay Greene, and three brothers, John and Charles Allison, Earhard, and Orville Allison, Caldwell, Idaho, and three sisters, Mrs. Charles Johnson and Mrs. Screpta Carle, Hanford, and Mrs.

K. S. Butler, Oregon, and four grandchildren. She was a member of the Congregational church of Rockwell. Funeral arrangements are incomplete.

The body was taken to the Patterson funeral home. Under the Johnson act, the government is barred from extending credit to nations in default on their World war debts. The neutrality act furthered this credit prohibition. The reasoning was that it would tend to keep America out of war, an assumption that Mr. McCamy inclined to accept.

Private lenders in this country might be induced to offer credit if there was some indication of sanction from the government. This blessing, however, has not been forthcoming and there is no reason to believe it will be. BUTTER makes all good foods taste better PUDDING SAUCE The liberal addition of Butler to the pudding sauce adds a delightful creamy texture and flavor. The recipe given is for a lemon sauce, but will do equally well for other flavors by substituting the required seasoning in place of the lemon juice. One-third cup butter 1 cup sugar One-third cup boiling water 3 tablespoons lemon juice Yolks of 3 eggs Few gratings of lemon rind Cream the butter, add sugar gradually and yolks of eggs slightly beaten.

Then add water and cook over boiling water till the mixture thickens. Remove from range and add lemon juice and rind. Iowa State Brand Creameries, Inc.

Ice, melting snow, and sleet were recorded as the rnnjor causes of the 1,714 highway accidents reported in the slate in February.

There were 34 if. If. X. Skidding was given as the most frequent cause of accidents during (he month. Of the 1,714 accidents reported, 378 attributed to Twelve fatalities were charged to skiddinr.

One fourth of the accidents last month involved trucks. Twelve deaths resulted in the 437 accidents involving trucks.

McCamy, "is that American sentiment, particularly in the farm sections, can'be effectively kept on the allied side through the purchase of American goods. While the British and French spokesmen grant the importance and value of this, they argue that they are fighting a life and death battle. Other considerations must be weighed against this one." To exemplify this point, Mr. McCamy referred to the shift of British tobacco purchases from America to Turkey, as a matter of liquidating a 25,000,000 pound loan to the Turkish government, an active ally in the Balkan area. Win or lose, said Mr.

McCamy, the allies face the prospect of almost certain prosperity.

Confirmation the scheduled arrival of the Mercury Economy Run in Mason City was received Wednesday by Paul Pritchard, local automobile a from officials of the Ford Motor company. The test car will arrive here at 3:25 o'clock Thursday afternoon and will remain until 8 o'clock Friday morning.

The car will be met at Northwood by Ed Martin of the Pritchard Motor company, who will pilot the test car into Mason City. A delegation consisting of Mayor Ray Pauley and oilier city officials will meet the car and sign the log book at the local showroom of the Pritchard Motor company. In view of the- fact that modern automobiles are designed to give their most economical performance at much higher speeds than formerly, this test run has been arranged to give a factual demonstration of modern automotive engineering. In the case of the Mercury, the most economical speec rate is approximately 45 miles an hour. Tests at that speed have resulted in records as high as 23.78 miles a gallon of gasoline, Mr Pritchard stated.

The present economy run wil include more than 2,750 miles 0 driving under test conditions. In connection with it, local person will be given an opportunity ompete for the best mileage rec- rd in this locality. The car wil equipped with a glass reservoii or fuel which holds exactly one entli of a gallon. This will bi mounted in full view in front he windshield of a standard 194i Mercury automobile.

McKenzie, Massachusetts State college tree pathologist.

"After the 1938 hurricane," he says, "most tree wardens and home owners spent their efforts on the more obvious damage. They removed uprooted trees, braced others and pruned unsightly broken limbs--but many less conspicuous injuries are still untreated and decay organisms have ready access to these trees." Surface wounds menace the health of the tree as much as more noticeable injuries, he says. Funny man!

Of the accidents reported last month, 157 involved drivers who had been drinking.

Nine pedestrians were killed and 89 wore injured. Sleds were involved in eight accidents, with one death resulting. Roller skating and hitch hiking each accounted for a death. The stale's traffic death count for the first two months of 1940 was 69, seven more than in the corresponding mnnlhs of 1939. The increase in the total number of accidents reported in the state was approximately 1,000.

"Studying the figures, which indicate in the reporting of accidents, we find that continued bad weather and slippery highways have been the principal causes of the increase shown for the month," Commissioner Karl W. Fischer said. Sundae School DES MOINES, members of the Ice Cream Merchandising Institute, went to "sundae school" here Tuesday. They learned that the old-fashioned chocolate sundae is as out of dale as the gas mantel. "Sundaes have to be more than sundaes," George W.
