FARM PROBLEM IS CHIEF ISSUE FOR CAMPAIGN Democrats to Point Out Administration Failure in Crisis. Bt Srripri-Hpvartl Xrtoppprr AUianrr WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.—Failure of the administration agricultural program during the last year is the dominant political issue throughout the middle west, according to political scouts who have returned to Republican national headquarters here this week. Preparatory to mapping the congressional campaign strategy, the house and senatorial committee chairmen sent trained observers on R six weeks’ trip to the Rocky mountains and back. Their confidential reports place farm relief at the top of the list of campaign issues, w’ith tariff reprisals of foreign powers second—although the tariff question takes first place in a number of scattered congressional districts in which manufacturing predominates. Better Returns Insured On the face of such reports from their ov.n scouts. Chairman \Mll P Wood of the Republican congressional campaign committee, anti his aids are outlining a program to persuade the middle western farmer that despite prevailing prices, whicn are within 10 per cent of pre-war levels on all major crops, the federal farm board already has insured better returns for next year. To offset the tariff clamor, which Is giving Republican candidates a great deal of uneasiness in the industrial area of Michigan. Ohio. Indiana and Illinois, the Republican managers are looking to President Hooter. The early appointment of the proposed new tariff commission will give the G. O. P. campaign orators something to point to as a symbol of the relief to come. Appointments Are Answer In the same way, they looked to the White House for help when the Democrats set out a month ago to make unemployment the big issue of the campaign. Recent appointment of the presidential commission to study employment conditions provides the vital campaign answer. Similarly, when the Democrats take the stump to blame the Hoover administration for the current business depression, the Republican candidates will be able to reply by pointing to the presidential commission for the study of bankruptcy. And when the Democratic congressional aspirant cites the fact that home building this year has been well under half the corresponding period of 1929. the Republicans, may point to the presidential commission studying ways and means of improving the lot of the would-be home owner.

FISHING GROWING AS CANADIAN INDUSTRY Three Central Provinces Show Remarkable Rise in Angling. By Science Service TORONTO. Aug. 14.—The Canadian prairies raise other crops than those of grain. Recent Canadian government statistics show that more than $4,000,000 was paid last year for fish caught on the prairies. This new industry has arisen in the three central provinces of Canada, which because of their wheat growing facility have been called the granary of the British empire. Commercial fishing is an established industry, reaching north as far as Lake Athabasca. On the shores of this lake, nearly 1.000 miles distant from Winnipeg and some 1,700 miles from Chicago are factories where whitefish and trout are caught in large numbers to be frozen, packed in special wrappers, boxed and shipped by refrigerator barges down the Athabasca river to Waterways, end of the steel, 200 miles distant to the south. There are innumerable lakes in the prairie provinces. Each yest during the past few years has seen more and more boats of all sorts going northward to the unfished lakes of the region.

‘Shot Down ’ Prince of Wales’ Plane Is Casualty in Mimic Air War.

Bu United Press x ONDON, Aug. 14—The prince of Wales added the thrills of air warfare to his aviation experiences Wednesday night when he landed at Cranwell airdrome after a flight to Uxbridge. The prince, accompanied by his usual pilot, David Don, flew to Uxbridge to attend the royal air force maneuvers in a mimic war. Instead of observing the war from the sidelines, the prince directed his pilot into the midst of the “battle” and, with big planes racing back and forth from opposing bases, participated in a practice bombing raid, before landing at Cranwell. Although the official communique on the air maneuvers merely said the prince of Wales participated, it was understood that he technically was “shot down” by one of the fighting planes in the mimic war. His plane was said to have been mistaken for one of the fighting craft when it was sighted by a group of six of the royal air force planes and they gave chase, intent on scoring point in the war maneuvers. Pilot Don was unable to avoid them, and—according to the rules of the game—was “shot down.” EAGLES BACK JOBLESS Pass Resolution Seeking Federal Law to Abolish Suffering.

Bu Science Service CHICAGO, Aug. 14.—Finger nails tell the story of a patient’s winning or losing fight against tuberculosis, recent observations of Dr. A. G. Hahn at the Trudeau sanatorium near Saranac lake have shown. Pitted nails were found in every one of fifty cases of active tuberculosis investigated, while fifty expatients and normal subjects exhibited smooth nails. A third group, comprised of fifty cases of inactive tuberculosis, yielded only three instances of indented nailsDownward Curving of the finger nails is another symptom of lung disease, though not quite so accurate an index of its progress. Sev-enty-six per cent of the patients with active tuberculosis had downcurving nails, as did half of the inactive cases. Thirty per cent of the ex-patients had retained the jncurvation after a cure had been affected, but none of the normal i group had the peculiarity.

Sailor-King to Return to Tiny Tropical Isle

Leaves His Pacific Paradise for First U. S. Visit in Eight Years. Ru XF.A Service LOS ANGELES, Aug. 14—Captain John S. Drever, reigning monarch of a tiny tropical island, where worshipful natives anticipate his every whim and beautiful native dancing girls entertain him. is visiting the United States for the first time in eight years. Captain Drever’s palace is a structure of palm leaves. His kingdom is the island of Laueneuwa, near the equator in mid-Pacific. His subjects are 650 Polynesians, unspoiled by coptact with civilization. And, ’tis said, his dancing girls would make Marc Antony throw stones at Cleopatra. Eight years ago a Scotch schooner on which Drever was second in command dropped anchor at the little island. Polynesian men, their teeth flashing in friendly smiles, and beautiful native girls, flowers twined in their jet-black hair, swam out to meet him. When the trading vessel left, Capt. Drever stayed behind to govern the island, the only white man to live there. The natives regard him as a great magician—a sort of demigod. He bosses the whole show—and it’s a Garden of Eden production. Captain Drever made it known on arriving here on the S. S. City of Los Angeles that his call is only a visit and that he’s going back to his Pacific paradise. The island, one of the Solomon islands group, is only 200 yards wide and five miles long.

above four knots an hour, an occasional hail from Captain Heard to Colonel Duncan would bid the Erin to “Get a move on. Go faster.” Then the Shamrock V would cast off her tow and pick up speed down a southeast breeze. Forced from her course, driven far to the southward, the challenger had to cover many more miles than steamships do between the Azores and New York. Twice severe gales tossed the slender Shamrock V about like a cork. All sail was furled, save the little jigger. But this wisp of a boat, less than twenty feet of beam, with her 100foot main mast and delicate hull, proved as seaworthy as the best.

EVIDENCE LOST FROM WEAPON ■ IN RIDE KILLING Spanish Revolver No Longer Bears Fingerprints to Aid Detectives. Bh Tittie* Special . . _ GARY. Ind, Aug. 14.—With a cheap revolver of Spanish manufacture as their only clew, police here have practically abandoned hope of solving the murder of Nick Cavaretta, 37, whose body, riddled with bullets, was found Sunday night after he had been taken "for a ride.” Added to the difficulty of the task confronting the police, is the fact that fingerprints on the weapon have been destroyed. It is not known who handled the weapon after it was found near the body, but when detectives went to the office of Dr. A. A. Watts, Lake county cornorer, they learned that the prints no longer existed. Six months ago Dr. Watts oedered all murder weapons turned over to this office His assistants or employes of an undertaker are believed to have thoughtlessly handled the revolver. Police are considering sending the serial number of the weapon to the maker in Spain in an effort to trace ownership. Cavaretta, authorities believe, was slain because he warned John Vlaus, former resident here, that he had been marked for death by a gang. Last April Claus gave police information regarding the slaying of Joseph Angello in a flat occupied by Claus and which is said to have been the headquarters of a blacklist racket.
