FARMERS HEAR EARL CRAWFORD (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) lion as other industries do there would not be a fanner in the state of Indiana worth what they were five years ago. financially. As proof of th's, Mr. Crawford sighted the instance of one bank in one county bf Indiana where 34 farmers had com" in and voluntarily, without any foreclosure, handed the bank the deeds for their farms. Mr Crawford said the cause for this was the unjust and unfair treatment which the farmer is receiving compared with other lines of industry. The .speaker stressed the inconsistency of Coolidge’s attitude in appropriating eighty million dollars for the department of agriculture in order to increase production and at the same time mentions in his November speech that the farmers’ trouble is over production, but that the American farmer is forced to sell his goods in the open market based on the price of the surplus while he must buy under protective tariff principles. The speaker also stressed that we do not want to take the props away from industry, neither dispose of the tariff, but the thing to do is to make the tariff applicable to agriculture thereby putting the farmers on an equal basis with other industries. Mr. Crawford stressed the need for leadership among the farmers, and gave the following story as an illus-t-aticn: ‘‘A farmer went down to a gravel pit with his team of mules to get a load of gravel. He loaded his load and the mules refused to pull it.

The quest of the Davis Cup. on which Bill Tilden mid his youthful teim*tnates are engaged, lends them this week to Mexico City, where, this coming week-end, the first matches of American z ne play take place. It is a new experience for nil but Tilden, and Bill himself possibly has forgotten the long, uphill trail which h<> and Billy Johnson climbed to victory in 1920. The Davis Cup was bi ought home from New Zealand that yen and heie it stayed until the suecesful Flench invasion of last summer. It Is significant of Tilden's domlnatin of American tennis that he again is the main reliance when the trophy is sought. The United States Lawn tennis association pales to insignificance beside him. Tilden can bring back the Davis Cup or it stays in Fiance. There are no two ways about it. aiitT all the piety and wit of the IT. S. L* T. A. cannot change tin l situation. So Tilden is taking a band of youngsters into action against the Mexicans on Friday They are active youngsters, however and before they are through the Mexicans will wish they never had heard of the Alamo. Johnny Hennessy of Indianapolis bids fail to become the star of the American team. He, it was who upset Tilden himself in the trials at Augusta Oa., last month. Johnny pi obahly/will come marching home with a couple of Mexican scalps and a pocketful of jumping beans. Wilmer Allison of Texas and Arnold W. Jones of Providence are the other members of the team, with little Wilbur Ccen, Jr., 16-year-old Kansas City schoolboy as alternate. Stiange names these for an American Davis Cup team so long made up of Tildens. Johnsons, Williamses and Richardses. But if young Coen continues to play as he did Jn Georgia, they will be calling him “Little Bill” in

memory of the great Calif miun and | paring him with ’ Big Bill’Mn the Da- ' vis Cup quest. Coen beat Jones,, John- 1 ny Doeg ami Ed Chandler nt Augusta, and would have been made 11 full member of the team had It not bepn lor his I 1 tender years. When th»» team defats Mexico and enters the second round of American zone play, there will be more trials tit which time same of our other twinkling young tennis stars may be heard from. Johnny Doeg and George Lott, No. 3 ranking stars may lie heard from Doeg probably will be handicapped, ’ however, by the necessity of resuming 1 his studies at Stanfotfl. Johnny-travel-ed to Augusta to win his U. S. in tennis, only to fall in the try-outs. Canada wil probably present the ' next obstlcle to the cup ernsadets, but ' Canada should be as easy to defeat ' as Mexico. It Is such teams as the Jap- ' anese, the Australian, the German and the Spanish, which will cause trouble ' I this year. ' • On the Mexican team, the Americans ■ 1 will find Bob Kensey, one of the fa--1 | mous tennis playing brothers, who has 1 established residence in Mexico City and has .chosen to represent Mexico 1 City and has chosen to represent Mexi- “ co in Davis Cup play. There was some 1 opposition to this, but it died away 1 when investigation developed the fact ' that Kensey was quite within his rights. If he plays tennis as he did 1 at times in this country. Bob should make things hot for some of the 1 American youngsters. o Federal Prohibition Administrator Resigns > Cincinnati. Ohio April 5— <U.R>— Wil--1 liam H.
