HOOVER, SMITH RACE MAY COST TENJILLIONS Parties Invite Donations [ From 10 Cents to Sky Limit. BY CARL D. GROAT WASHINGTON, July 20.—The Smith and Hoover presidential campaigns are destined, in the opinion of political experts here today, to cost the Democratic and Republican committees a joint total of from $8,000,000 to $10,000,000. Counting outlays to be made by State, county and municipal organizations and bodies or individuals not directly connected with either headquarters, this total, it was estimated, could run to double or trable these amounts. The Republican national committee has decided against placing any fixed limit on its campaign budget. It will accept both large and small contributions. Dime Contributions Welcome The Democratic committee has let it be known it will accept contributions from “10 cents up,” and has placed no top limit on its campaign chest. Republican leaders have let it be known they do not believe $3,000,000 would suffice for the Hoover campaign, and they talk unofficially of a $4,000,000 total. The Smith campaign, which, according to its manager, John J. Raskob, has offers of financial aid from big business men, will undoubtedly cost as much as the Republican. Assuming that a $4,000,000 Republican total is matched by the Democrats, this would mean an $8,000,000 total for both camps, but there are many who believe November will see that even this figure was low, and that the national committees have put out at least $5,000,000 each. South Puzzles Party As for expenses outside the national committees’, there is no way of correctly estimating in advance. Some of these expenses never find their way into any party expense statement to the Government. There have been estimates in the past of $20,000,000 spent by both’ parties’ National, State and county organizations, but some political authorities have declared that even so large a total does not represent the real outlay for a modern presidential campaign. Leaders are undecided as to putting money in the south where some anti-Smith sentiment has arisen and where the Asheville dry conference voted to try to turn dry Democrats to Hoover. Some say the money would be well spent; others, that the solid south will remain Democratic and the expenditures would be a waste. GIVES LIFE’S SAVINGS AWAY IN BURIAL SITE Woman Prepares Only for Death; Donates Plot for Victim. JtV United Press NEW YORK, July 20.—The three divine virtues are faith, hope and charity, “but the greatest of these is charity.” Mrs. Bridget Sullivan, 60, an Irish janitress of a building, who saved enough money during her worldly labors to buy a burial plot for herself, need never worry about the greatest of these. When little Mary Fallon died, her parents were unable to provide a burial plot for her. Mrs. Sullivan donated her site, despite the fact that she was faced with the loss of her job and the possibility of having to rely on charity for the rest of her life. .YOUTH HELD IN SLAYING Terre Haute Negro Arrested After White Man, 56, Dies.

HEN HATCHES ’GATORS KINSTON, N. C., July 20.—Henry Crawford, Negro, is exhibiting four baby alligators which he said were hatched by a hen on a farm Hear here. The ’gators are about five inches long. Crawford said he found an alligator’s nest in Pamlico County several weeks ago. He brought a number of the eggs home with him and placed them, together with chicken eggs, under the hen. The chicken eggs failed to hatch, but the little ’gators seemed to appease the mother urge of the hen.

PROBE TRIANGLE IN BOMB DEATH # Husband Dies From Blast, Accusing Rival. Bv United Press ROCKFORD, 111., July 20. Working on the theory that a triangle was behind the bombing, which Thursday caused the death of Vernon W. Plager, 28, police today questioned Paul Reed, 30, who was accused by Plager of the bombing before the latter died. Plager entered his sedan, parked in the alley near his home, and when he stepped on the starter a bomb was exploded in the gas tank Plager’s body was thrown fourteen feet in the air, with such force that a lead cable was bent when his body struck it. He died in a hospital q short time later, recovering con piousness long enough to accuse Reed. Reed was said to have eloped with Mrs. Plager last fall. She returned a few days later to her husband. She told police today that Reed had been bothering her lately. She said he came to her home Thursday and she told him he must stay away. C. A. Plager, a brother of Plager, declared that Vernon told him he

SMALL PROFITS PAIDJSY FARMS No Incomes If Accounts Kept Like Other Firms. BY DEXTER M. KEEZER WASHINGTON, July 20. —ls United States farmers kept their accounts the way successful business corporations do, it is doubtful if they would have any income to report for 1927. This is indicated by figures on financial returns of United States farms during 1927, just made public by the Agricultural Department on the basis of returns from 11,359 farms in all parts of the country. The report shows an average net return of $1,290 for 1927 as compared with $1,133 in 1926. In computing the expense of operating United States fauns last year, it was pointed out, no allowance was made for interest on the investment in land and farm equipment which for the farms sur-

The expense of operating farms in the United States last year, as computed by the Agricultural Department, also made only partial allowances for wages of the farmer and his family.
