He said: . “Our tariff had proved so low that our farmers were being crowded even from the domestic market in many products which by use as diversification they can substitute to take up the slack in export business. From that condition we have given them protection, and we stand upon it." And it is not a comfortable place to stand. When Middle Western farmers were fighting for a tariff on vegetable oils, blackstrap molasses, tapioca and sago, all of which compete seriously with cornbelt products. Mr. Hoover was silent. There is little doubt but that his plea added to that of the farmers would have secured favorable action on these items. That word was not given, and the protection was not received. Mr. Hoover dismissed the farm board with a word, and said nothing at all about the money question or deflation, the real cause of hard times. He dismissed the growing demand for a national plan by calling it an infection from Russia, and said that we have a plan to take care of 20,000,000 more people in the next 20 years. That is not a plan, but a prophecy. Os course we shall take care of them in some way. But will we give them jobs? Will we given them an increased standard of living? Will we provide enough money to take care of this increased business without further deflation? We need first of all to plan for an honest dollar, which will have approximately the same purchasing power from year to year. That is this country's greatest need, and on this question Mr. Hoover was silent. His unsympathetic reception of the recent request from the American Farm Bureau that he do something to stabilize the purchasing power of the dollar would seem to indicate that he fears this issue or does not appreciate its importance. Henry Ford is going to show the farmers how to do it. Ho has bought three thousand acres and will test out liis theories by paying the nu n $5.00 per day for eight hours and give them employment in his factories when not busy making hay. We just can't imagin; a farm hand going to work and quitting by a whistle. The only thing that makes the old fashioned farmer lay down his hoy is the dinner bell and then he hustles right back and stays until sundown. The city seems to lie infested

with tramps and beggars and it I might be a good idea for the of- • I fleers to let them know that too many are too much. They are not )' of any benefit and while we do not r. wish to be inhospitable to any one [• we ought to see that such visitors do not make themselves a nuis'r ance. During the past few days a dozen or more have been begging n from house to house and otherwise 0 bothering folks. Keep them mov--5 il,g ' 0 •" s The valuations on personal prop--0 I) erty in Allen county are off more 1 than three million dollars which is about in comparison with other counties of the state. Stocks are lower and the value less. And i when the real estate appraisement is made next year, there will be ; another drop for much property is now being taxed on a valuation greater than the possible selling . price. , Secretary Mellon is said to favor 3 a federal gasoline tax which he . says would give general distribu- [ tion to the burdens. It would but the average car owner these days . feels he is carrying about all he 1 can stand and that men like Mr. Mellon can better afford to make up any deficits than he can. Since the car owners are greatly in the majority we would say this proposal will not have much chance at present. The national council down in Brazil has purchased about 600,000 ! pounds of coffee, taken it out in f the ocean and dumped it. Looks ■ foolish and in away it is but thats about the only way yet figured out . by which prices can be maintained. Some folks think that would help the wheat market. I ■ i The filling station men who give out ten to twenty-five dollars to i strangers who claim a friend has ’ been arrested for possession of I liquor and who put up a worthless ; watch and ring as security, deserve ' to be trimmed and most of them , will say little about it once they i are thus taken in. * ■' 1 — We don’t know just every thing » tliat has happened witli regards to 1 Hie building of the new postoffice but we do know it is going right [ along now with indications that it will be all ready for use some day this fall.

BELIEVE DEATH WASJLINGERING (CONTINUED FORM PAGE ONE) a teacher. School authorities said it was 1 not remarkable that the body had 1 not been found because the shaft had been unused for ten years. They believed the youth might have stepped to the top of the shaft to ■ smoke a cigaret and tumbled to - the bottom. Burial was arranged here today for the skeleton, with authorities convinced that the bones were those of Perlie Guelsby Hogg. Plans were made to bury the bones in a plot donated by a cemetery association. Funeral expen ses were to be paid by the county and a small marker provided by a monument firm. The destitute Cooper family said they would not have been able to provide busjal for the youth. Coroner Clarence Piepho said he could return a verdict of suicide, i He believed that the boy, an or- | phan, ended his life because of miserable surroundings and constant poverty. His father deserted his mother before Perlie was born, and the mother died when he was four years of age. Since then he had lived with the Coopers. Mrs. Cooper said he frequently threatened to run away or kill himself. TWO NATIONS NEAR BREAK I CUN TIN Gap FROM PAGE ON®, en. Rival claims to East Greenland were revived recently by the ex- | ploration of a party of Norwegian hunters. The hunters declared they had occupied a region extending from j Carlsberg Fjord to Bessel Fjord—a distance of some 300 miles. The region previously had been explored by the Danish Koch exitedition. and the declaration of occupation caused the Danish government to send an official note to Norway asking an explanation. Intense feeling was aroused in both countries by this action, and King Haakon’s reported formal declaration was understood to have enhanced already bitter feelings in Denmark. The Danish East Greenland Ice Co., at Nanok protested to the foreign office against the Norwegian occupation of East Greenland. The company claimed that the Danes had been trading there for the past Id years, and demanded official protection. The area claimed by Norway in the east coast of Greenland extends about 300 miles along the " —-

——— t , area known as Scores, y Land. Itl is about the center of the is an ■ that is Greenland, from about Ln pool coast on the south to a P 0 " 1 ■ about opposite of Shannon Island 1 on the north. The dispute goes back to 1. <■ Untilthen, Denmark's sovereignty in Greenland extended only over ■ the west coast, between Cape Farewell and 74.33 degrees north, with the exception of the one trading station of Angmagsalik in the east In that year, however, it was extended to embrace the entire island, which led to the controversy I with Norway regarding hunting and sealing rights on the east coast. The United States bought Hmj Virgin Islands from Denmark that , year, during the war, and at tin-. same time relinquished all claims | to any part of Greenland which it. had previously advanced, due to the explorations of Admiral Peary, discoverer of the North Pole. When A meric. relinquished claims to any sovereignty in Green land, Denmark took over the en s tire island, and Norway at once objected. The dispute has contin ued over 14 years with the present crisis apparently the worst in the history of this troublesome factor 1 in relations between Norway and Denmark. Originally, Greenland was claim ed by Norway and Denmark when they were on state. At the dis solution of the union between Norway and Denmark in 1814, neither | Greenland, Iceland, nor the Faroe ] Islands was mentioned, and they] were retained by Denmark. Hunting and fishing rights off the t coast have become increasingly ini- ! portant, however, and Norway's claim was pushed by commercial ! interests in Oslo. The government's action followed. o Narcotic Dealers Build Up Trade With “First Shots” EL PASO. Tex. (U.R) —Dealers in drugs build up their trade by giving young boys their first “shot" of narcotics, federal and local narcotic agents hare revealed. Capt. Mike Snider, of the E! Paso police force, declared that fully 50 per cent, of El Paso's youthful drug addicts get the habit by narcotic peddlers first giving them drinks and then, while under the influence of liquor, giving them a shot of narcotics “to experience a great happiness.” The practice was brought to the attention of officers when Richard Holf, visiting here from San Antonio, was found in the street in a stupor.
