IT5, V 4 WILMINGTON MORNING STAR, WILMINGTON; N. C. -FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1 . I - TWO : - ;' ?;?: k g -. t ' a i r SHERMAN "ACT VROi THR IIVSIDE Tndustrial and moral changes tnat Jiave ' tafien place in'tie country since th,- , .-oLge ot Uie Sherman anti trust act, brinir up the. question of whether it might be amended to the benefit of the public, writes Frank K. Nebeker, former assistant to the At torney general of the United States, In The Nation's Business. Under the pre ceding administration Mr". Nebeker had charge of all the anti-trust activities of the department of justice. Mr. Nebeker says that it is his .belief that the Sherman anti-trust act would bo greatly improved if so amended as to permit the courts, in applying- It to concrete cases, to jrive broader scope in their consideration of fundamental eco- -nomie principles. "For examples If In a given case the court finds that an agreement or com bination between competitors has ac tually resulted in direct restraint of trade that ends the matte, and judg ment against the defendant follows as a matter of courr- The fact may be that, although agreement or com- hination does restrain trade in a given particular, and with respect to a cer t.s'n 'Mi arse of public interest, its effect, nevertheless, may be to stimulate trade in oiber directions to such an extent as to he greatly beneficial to the public in terest when the entire situation is con sidered. "This and other apparent defects of a similar nature could he eliminated by an amendment to the effect (hat j coal nsn BLILI1EUS' SUPPLIES W. B.

NO SHORTAGE IN MISFORTUNE The American Sugar Refining com pany, with 30,000 stockholders and a steady dividend record for 30 yea,rs, found it advisable in the face of con ditions in the sugar business to dis continue dividend disbursements. The balance sheet of the Central Leather company for June 30 shows a profit and loss deficit of $6,040.S9S, which com pares with a surplus on March 31, 1923, of 1.30,640,498, a shrinkage of assets in 15 months of $36,681,394. "Instances like these indicate the havoc .that the fall of prices has wrought among the industrial com panies. The common stock'pf the for mer company has sold down,, from a high of 118 3-4 last year to under 60, and- the, common stock of the latter from 104 3-4 last year to 22 1-4. "If the farmers, who think y they are the only sufferers from falling prices, knew the facts about the losses of manufacturing and trading companies they would be less . unhappy about their own. There has been misery enough td go all around." George-E. Roberts in The Nation's Business. people as-the sons of the Tigris and the Euphrates - 'and to designate .British business men'4 :. a the, sons ,.f J tfie Thames. The occasion was an address j presented to the king by the British ' chamber of commerce in Bagdad. Fig j ures of speech are appropriate in the least. Trade was described as a large j tree with spreading branches, and there ; was reference to its relation to the j pillars of peace. The -king responded I in kind, . laying stress .upon fclve ties of covenant between the sons of the Thames and those of the Tierris and Eu- ; pnraies. ; . .. .,. j - So ancient a part of the world is ! clearly entitled to its figure's of speech; i The Nation's Business.. - ; SONS OF THE TIGRIS Iraq Was not got into the vocabu lary of most of us, but it is pretty sure, sooner or later, to become better known in western lands; for it is the name of an Arabic kingdom which came into existence as one of the re sults caused by the European war in the region we know as Mesopotamia. In such a land thoughts center about rivers. It was not unnatural for the new king in September to speak of his ! Records of Executions ! In France Brought Out In Senate's Inquiry (uontinuea rrom fage une) which the 11 men were hanged. Colonel Bethel, under cross examination by Senator Watson, mentioned the town i OfiiS&ieyrgsJ t;; which, according to in- formation- grven'the senator by form.-r soldiers, a number of men were exe cuted. The photograph of the gal lows at Gievres, sent some time ago to the senator, was not shown to Col onel Bethel, although he declared that a gallows 'had been erected there for it was at G(evres that one sentence of J the military oourt was carried out. ! The officer also denied that American soldiers had been hanged after con i viction by a French military, court, hs j serting that under the articles of war jurisdiction -over such cases was vested I solely in the American army, and that jas a matter of fact the French author iities did not desire to try Americans . charged with crimes against French citizens. i ... car era! what flour you bake with -as YVOMEN who pride themselves on their bak ing will do well to get Valier's Dainty Flour and stick to it. This year, particularly, there is a lot of sorry flour coming into the market. Damaged wheat makes sorry flour. .-..x (; ; ;.. " - U" ; - '"- Wheat got a setback last Spring. A too-warm sjtcanfbo early, and ended in a sharp freeze. That injured the wheat's vigor. It ripened nicely, in the main; but it needed care then. Like a delfcaieldiild, needing careful nursing to gain somidtnafiirity. i u. 5 - -w The prime wheat, the yery pick of the crop, that makes Dainty Flour, was bought early in the harvest-time. Many mills, buying from day to day, have to take the impaired wheat which is pour ing in now. Our choice wheat, stored in our big elevators, was properly cured by daily airing and turning. Aver age wheat, the run of the crop, was wet by show ers and stored damp in farmers' bins and country elevators. There were no facilities for taking proper care of it. Weevil got at it. Its quality suffered. It makes the sorry flour that gives so much trouble in Southern kitchens today. But Valier's Dainty Flour, made wholly from the cream-rich hearts of choicest wheat which was bought early, stored properly and seasoned care fully Dainty is the same rich, unvarying flour today it has been through so many dependable years. This year particularly, when you need to be so very careful what flour you buy, Dainty Flour is a real economy. It not only saves you so much in lard, because of its great richness, but Dainty saves you risk. ,'o ' if . V - L&lfflRrlour ; THE CORpETT CO., Wholesale Distributor Wilmington, Xorth .
