FAILURE OF FARM RELIEF IS SCORED Stump Tells of Great Drop in Agricultural Values. Bit Tima Special BLOOMFIELD, Ind., Aug. 3. Failure of Congress to pass any agricultural relief legislation before adjournment, was In the face of a $20,000,000,000 decrease in value of the farms of America in the last,five candidate for the Senate long term, asserted here today in an address before a Second district party conference. “The Department of Agriculture has estimated that the farms of America were worth $75,000,000,000 in 1920. The estimate for 1925 is $55,000,000,000,” Stump said. The Democratic candidate cited figures given by a Republican Congressman to the effect that all the railroads of the country could be purchased for $19,000,000,000 and all the businesses for $40,000,000,000. “Suppose that the farm condition otbained with the railroads. Do you think that Congress would have adjourned without some relief? Suppose it had been suffered by the manufacturing interests. Do you suppose the Congressmen and Senators, would now be resting in their pleasant summer homes? "Or would, they be held by the very pressure which such businesses exert upon government itself, to the problem of finding a swift and speedy means of re-establishing those industries.’ ALLIGATOR PEARS 50 CENTS APIECE First Shipment Received at City Market.

How to Swim —No. 14

By Lillian Cannon. The trudgeon stroke, named after, the English swimmer who first used it to advantage, is different from the double overarm stroke in that it is for short sprints only? and is too tiring to maintain for any distance. In the trudgeon stroke, the head and shoulders are kept, high out of the water and the rolling motion which characterizes the overhand is entirely absent. The effort used in keeping the head and shoulders out of water is such as to prevent its use for long
