Tornado Hits Wisconsin i / JOI ' lew •■» W ’ Ruins of the home of Hugh Whitford, near Milton Junction, Rock County, Wisconsin.

The dead man was Hugh Whitford, who was found crushed to death beneath the debris in the basement.

STANDARDS OF LIVING CAUSE MUCH CONCERN (CONTINUED FROMJ’AGE ONE) Labor, the United Press was told that the United States Rubber Company's action in reducing work- I ing hours without cutting the basic ■ pay rate was in line with labor's policy for the emergency. The fed-, eration, it was said, has been advocating spreading out work in ord er to keep as many men as possi- 1 ble employed without cutting their hourly rate. The federation's attitude is that a family can live for a time on a very small amount of money if | necessary, but that general layoffs . or wage rate reductions only aggra- > vate an already critical situation.! The federation, it was said, had been urging President Hoover to call a conference of industrial leaders for the purpose of putting into l effect just such a scheme. On tlie other hand there was a, feeling of deep indignation at fedel •, al headquarters over wage cuts in the steel and copper industries. One official pointed out that while Colorado Fuel and Iron, the Rockefeller Company, had cut the wage rate about 25 per cent, it had only re-i duced salaries 10 per cent. A sal- j aried employe, being on a longertime basis than a wage worker, can better afford a wage reduction, it was contended. Another official commented that, preferred stock dividends had not | been generally cut. in spite of wage | slashes. The feeling generally among American Federation of Labor leaders was that banking interests were behind the recent cuts and that the ultimate purpose was to reduce American livThg standards to those of Europe. It was contended that industrialists were only prolonging and intensifying the depression by reducing the buying power of the wage earner and enhancing his feeling of insecurity. In the absence of President WJI lian Green, the federation would issue no formal statement. One is expected over Greens signature later today. o COOL WEATHER IS PREDICTED (CONTINUED FROM FAGE ONE) Wheat sowing was begun in central areas. Tomato harvest and tobacco cutting continued. Buckwheat also was cut in most of the growing sections. ■ o— IOWA FARMERS FIGHT GUARDS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) to put an end to the revolt against the testing law that has flared spasmodically for months is made up for the most part of farmers. The remainder are clerks, business and professional men. Conferences between leaders of the guard and officials of the state department of agriculture were scheduled for today. First attempts to invade the farms with veterinarians protected by the troops are expected tomorrow. Angered at what they term the unfairness of the system used In testing for tuberculosis, the farmers heretofore have successfully resisted all testing efforts with bad eggs, mud, pitch forks and clubs. There has been no actual , violence. Although there were almost ns I 1 many soldiers in town as there are citizens of Tipton. Brig. Gen. ; Park A. Findley said he would not

attempt to use the guardsmen to enforce the law pending the conference with state and county officials. Thus the proclamation of Governor Turner declaring Cedar county under martial law has not actually been put into effect. The troops remained by i their camping grounds while regtti lar authorities policed the town. Dr. Peter Malcolm, state veterI inarian. however, said he planned l to test every cow in Cedar county and that he would depend on the I soldiers to protect him and his assistants while so doing. He has enough expert testers on hand, he said, to complete his operations in I this county in one week, unless too many battles interfere. The farmers, who carried their

fight to the state legislature last ( spring when they marched to the | state capitol 2,000 strong, claim t the law is confiscatory. They say , it results in condemnation of cattle ( I not infected. They asked the legislature for a test that would ( i cover only milk. The request was ( ! refused. ( ! State officials have sought re- , i peatedly to convince the farmers . of the justice of the law. Veter- ] inarians were forcibly ejec t (1. ( , however, from the E. C. Mitchell ami William Butterbrodt farms I and finally Governor Turner held i a conference with the leaders of the rebellious farmers. That conference also ended in failure. The state then obtained injunctions against more than 40 of the • farmers restraining them from | I intervening with the tests. When , 1 the injunctions were disregarded , the militia was called. Many of the farmers knew President Hoover as a boy. Mr. Hoov- ( er was born at West Branch. la.. , only a few miles from here, and at his homecoming during his campaign for the presidency, all of the farmers left their fields to pay respect ot the man they once had gone to school with. o Strike Is Settled Indianapolis, Sept. 23 —(U.R) A strike of truck drivers working on a highway near Rockville was reported settled today, after state police had been summoned to maintain peace. I Back wages, claimed by the I men, have been paid, it was said. The strike started when laborers quit their jobs in sympathy . with one of their number who hail . been dismissed for refusal to . continue work until back pay had . been made up. ~ o Brother Is Arrested English, Ind., Sept. 23. — (U.R) — 1 Coen Stephenson, 21, of near Mar|engo, was under arrest here today i pending a report from Coroner W. iJ. Trusty, who is investigating the I fatal shooting of Harry Stephenson. . 23. Coen’s brother. Harry was shot to death at the . home of a neighbor. Prior to the shooting he said he had quarreled fi with Coen. Neighbors said Coen 3 called for his brother, who was shot 3 soon after he left the house. Coen was arrested without resis- , Hance at the home where his broth- > ler was shot. 'I o , | Fire Razes Famed Theater II Leningrad. (U.R)- Fire complete- . ly destroyed one of the oldest and c most famous theaters in this region, lithe Pavlovsky Theater, located in i what was once a fashionable sn--1 barb and one of the residences of tile Tsars. In its time the Pavlovc, sky stage saw the most eminent | e I Russian actors, but in the last few | i. years it had been turned into a I t motion picture house.

FASCIST BOYS WAGING WAR ON MALARIA j Organized As Special San- « itary Corps For Ro- ' man Area i i Rome, —(UP) — The Balilla, or , Fascist boys groups, in the Rome | province have been organized into . a special sanitary corps to fight the malaria in the Roman district. ( The disease, which 20 years ago ( wrought havoc in the district, has been largely exterminated, but , there are still zones where the ignorance of the peasants allows its spread. Divided into squads, 3.000 Fascist lads, of from 12 to 15, have been organized by Dr. R. Escaler, chief public health ofifeer, into a small anti-malaria army. The boys, who are trained along semi-military lines, are assigned various sections of the campagna, to see that all the sanitary requirements for banishing malaria are observed. The Balilla boys see to the fitting of mosquito nets at the doors, chimneys and windows of the cottages and houses. They mend torn nets, which the peasants are inclined to neglect. They clean up pools and stagnant ponds, or sprinkle with oil. Part of their work is the regular distribution of quinine, both for those who are malaria sufferers and as a prophlylactic for the healthy. The hoys learn the whole system of dealing with malaria and malarial zones, and can handle most cases on their own. Thre is plenty of work for them to do. Smoking mosquitos out of infested houses by burning wet straw and catching the insects on wet sheets as they fly out is one of their tasks. The yalso stock ponds with special small fish that eat the mosquito eggs.

Agreement Is Expected Indianapolis, Sept. 23. —(U.R)—An agreement between Governor Harry G. Leslie and members of the state highway commission on purchase of 120 trucks was expected to be reached today. It was believed that Governor Leslie’s request that money intended for purchase of the trucks be used to employ highway workers, would be met by the commission. At a conference last night between the governor and the commission, tlie former urged adoption of what lie called the “pick and shovel” method during the winter. This plan, he said, would give employment to the greatest possible number of men. -o Salesman Found Dead Hartford City, Sept. 23.—(U.R) — \V. Ray Wilson, 43, was found dead ' in bed in the Hotel Hartford at 10:30 o’clock this morning, by tlie hotel clerk, when they broke into the room to investigate why he did not answer a summons. Mr. Wilson was a brother-in-law of Clyde Strait, former state accountant who is now employed as general manager of tlie Overland door company in Hartford City. He is survived by the widow, one step ■ son, one brother, and five sisters. Heart trouble caused the death. Will Remove Bodies Indianapolis.

“Why My Next Car will be A FORD’’ * hen you buy a Ford there are two things you never have to worry about. One is reliability. The other is long life. Here s an interesting letter from a Ford owner in North Carolina: “My Ford was purchased May 8, 1928, and has been run 121,767 miles. Il has never slopped on the road for repairs of any kind whatsoever except punctures. The brakes were relined at 101,000 miles. My gas mileage averaged 21 miles to the gallon, and on tires, 19,000 miles per tire. I travel over all kinds of road conditions—mountainous and flat. I consider this a wonderful record and I assure you my next car will also be a Ford.” This is just one of many tributes to the reliability and long life of the Ford. A Ford owner in lowa tells of driving his I'ord .3,000 miles in a single year. Another writes of 120,000 miles of good service. Think ahead when you are considering the purchase of an automobile and consider what it will be like after thousands of miles of driving. Will you still be satisfied?* Will you still say “it’s a great car’’? 2 If it s a Ford, you know everything will be 0. K. It will be taking you there and back in good style, just as it has always done. And you will have saved many important, worth-while dollars in cost of opcratiou and up-keep and low yearly depreciation. m’TSBX HObY TYPUS $ 430 ""'640 F. O. B. Detroit, plus freight and delivery.
