I which had ample water in storage. The siphon will be repaired within four days, it was announced. The dynamiting was another of a long series of outrages against the water project which has flared up periodically for the past 20 years. Opposition of Owens Valley farmers to what they called the city’s “steal” of their water was the cause of the original sabotage against the system. The ranchers however, were not blamed for Sunday’s blast. For years they had seen their lands dry up as more water was taken from the Owens river and (more wells were sunk through the valley. In desperation, they were forced to sell their lands to the city at prices they declared were robbery. o— — Presents Aid Plan Indianapolis, Nov. 3 (U.R) A plan whereby township trustees would make blanket contracts with all physicians for medical aid to needy was advanced by the medical service committee of Governor Harry G. Leslie's relief commission. Dr. John H. Hewitt, secretary of the commission, announced the plan. Hewitt pointed out that by this method each person requiring aid would be permitted to select his own physician. The plan also would preclude possibilities of favoritism, Hewitt said. As a first step in putting the plan into action, the committee recommended that questionnaires be sent 1,100 township trustees, to learn their methods of administering medical service. o WATSON PULLED INTO ARGUMENT ,CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) postmaster.

B Rice, who passed the civil service examination, are eligible canI didates for the postmastership. Addressing the assembly after the dispute quieted. Watson asserted that since the gold standard had been abandoned in England, this country should enact a higher tariff. 'Prices have fallen so low in foreign countries that additional protection is needed here, he said.

FINE TOBACCO ; CROP REPORTED New York. —(UP)—Regular but i gentle rains, the principal climatic . necessity for “vintage” tobacco > crops, have crowded this year s clgar tobacco market with leaf of . the finest quality, according to John H. Days, president of the Associat- - ed Cigar Manufacturers and Leaf . 1 obacco Dealers. Since returning I from the annual auctions of Java and Sumatra tobacco at Amsterdam Buys has inspected Connecticut’s I recently harvested bumper tobacco ■ crop. Heavy rains, or storms, tear the delicate tobacco leaves, but the plants need much ground water in order to absorb the minerals —principally derivatives of potassium—which make a cigar burn evenly and hold its fire. I Good Havana tobacco has de- , dined so seriously in price that Cu- [ ban planters have agreed to limit t the crop next year. There even have been serious suggestions that the crop be entirely abandoned to allow the market to catch up with the supply. Last year's Java was ( 1 a vintage” crop like that of 1926 and the Sumatra outlook is so 'good ’ that the price has not been serious’j ly affected by last year's disappointing crop. o— ARMISTICE DAY PROGRAM WILL BE HELD HERE I (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) at the Armistice Day meeting last , year.

Community singing in charge of Don Farr will be held at the meeting and those in charge of the arrangements hope to make it a happy community gathering, the Legion, service clubs and Chamber of Commerce uniting in the effort to serve the community during the winter months and in carrying out a program of benefit to all. DETROITER STILL MEMORY MARVEL Detroit, — (UP) — “Railroad Jack, or Harry I). Copper, roadside historian and memory marvel, is back in Detroit after an absence of 10 years. He was once a familiar f zure on Detroit streets, offering his fund of knowledge for the coins of the spectators. Cooper remembers over 10,000 dates in history, and in entertaining the street crowds it was once his custom to offer a $lO prize to the I one who could name any event in | history with which he was not ac- ; quainted. Besides being able to name instantly the day on which very date in the Gregorian calendar has fallen. “Railroad Jack” can ! trace on a blackboard the route of a I letter mailed to any give destination. Graduated from the streets to luncheon clubs. Cooper has posted SIOO reward to any historian who i can compete with him in a memory contest. Cooper, who is 67, is said to possess a pass to t avel cn any rail- ■ road in this country, hence his sobI rlouet of “Railroad Jack.” GRAIN PRICES ARE STRONGER (CONTINUED FORM PAGE ONE, i sudden development of short crops in Russia and other European grain countries. j In part, however, the rise came | because the outlook for wheat was . so black at planting time this fall. I Farmers in every section of the i country cut their winter wheat I acreage sharply. A 15 to 20 per ' cent reduction was estimated to | have resulted. Other farmers held their grain after th harvest. Prices were so low they feared it would cost them [ more to ship it than they would ! receive. They stored the grain in barns, attics, cellars hoping that , by some miracle prices eventually | would rise. They saw that miracle in the ! present rise. Farmers who had looked toward the holiday time and a winter without income, wore hastily loading their wheat tor shipment. More than half the total wheat stocks in the southwest are held on the farms, grains ' experts estimated. Country store keepers wlio had held their stocks low. knowing customers had no funds, were reported stocking up for Thanksgiving and Christmas trade. A 15.000 car rise in the weekly car loadings was expected, at least part of it believed due to

SOUTH SUFFERED DROUGHT, BUT DIDN'T KNOW IT Weatherman Only One That Checked 1931 Rainfall Memphis. (UP) —'The south has experienced a drought this year, but only the weatherman knows it. Crops that withered last year because of lack of rainfall and because of blistering heat, this fall are abundant. Record yields are being harvested. W. S. Brist, government meteorologist, explained the rain fall this year has been at opportune times, while last year it came in a short period of time and the lack of moisture during the growing season resulted in the worst drought in the South's history. From January 1. 1930 to Sept. 29, 1930 —the drought period—total deficiency of rainfall was 6.02 inches. The official records here showed that for 103 days after May 19 there was no rainfall. For the same period this year, Jan. 1 to Sept. 29 the rainfall deficiency has been 15.18 inches, more than twice that recorded during the drought spring and summer of 1930. Brist explained July is known as the most important month of the year to farmers. Last year in most southern states. July passed without any rain. This year there was an excess of 1.19 inches during July. Prist said observations over tlie entire south and mid-south showed the e had been less rainfall this year in comparison to last year. As a result the crop yield this I year will surpass that of the past i several years. Cotton, still the major crop, despite the diversification programs recently begun, is above expectations and fanners are now harvesting record yields. The lack of rainfall, while a'bless ing to cotton farmers, who saw in it a good harvesting season, has caused complaints from truck gardeners, who say they are needing | rain.

He recited facts previously brought rel garding Jackson's prison terms, anil referred to tlie type of person the murdered must have been, as defined by the state. “Jackson is the only one of all I the persons at the picnic who fits tins description," Tindall asserted. “Wily do I say that Jackson I committed this crime?" “Because it fits his character," lie replied to his own question. “Jackson made threats against the Simmons family. He admitted knowledge of the action of strychnine. He bought strychnine. He was a talkative man by nature —but there was one time when he didn't talk. I “That was when he was seated in front of the Pollard home here a few hours before the picnic. He I was alone there. Did he mix with tlie others, as lie would have done j under normal conditions?

Then Tindall reminded the jury that Jackson' had told police offi-l cerH that “Carrie Simmons did it” I when they began an investigation of tlie murder. “He did that to divert suspicion from himself,” Tindall charged, speaking directly at the jury.

CRIME CLINIC IS EXPERIMENT CHICAGO, —(U.R) —Five men. a I social investigator, a physician, a sociologist, a psychiatrist and a psychologist, form a clinic in the Cook County jail to act in an advisory capacity to the courts. The clinic, known as the "behavior clinic,” is under the charge of Dr. Harry R. Hoffman, an assistant professor of nervous and mental diseases of Rush Medical College and psychiatrist for the 35th Division during the World War, witli a rank of major. | Scientists claim that, by itself, ' the legal profession has not sucI ceeded in coping with crime. Dr. Hoffman points out that othei-wise 55 per cent of those now at the Bridewell jail here would not be repeaters. Tlie behavior clinic believes that making the punish ment fit the crime is a medieval and antiquated theory, and that the punishment should be made to fit the individual. With this in mind, the clinic was I organized in April, 1931, and given a block of 39 cells for segregating and observing “patients.” A behavior case brought to its attention is placed in these cells. I One after another the clinic mem- | bers make an examination. Thon I their reports are turned over to ' Dr. Hoffman, who compiles the I findings and makes his recomI inendatton. — o —’ - i BARGAINS — Bargains in Living Room, Dining Room Suites, Mat- | tresses and Rugs.
