DROUGHT LOSS FEARS PICTURED AS OVERDRAWN Farmers Have Beaten Back From Worse Situations, Says Editorial. Bit United p, f ss KANSAS CITY, Aug. 21.—While committees met today in middle western states to consider means ol relieving farmers in the drought sections, the Daily Drovers Telegram here expressed doubt that conditions are as serious as portrayed. “Farmers have beaten their way back from situations much more distressing than at the present,” the Telegram stated in a front page editor.al. “A week ago there was not a cheerful farmer in the middle Vest. But then came the rains. It now clearly is seen that the structure of American agriculture was damaged much less than was feared.” “Dwellers in the cities, who read the sensational stories in the newspapers would think that starvation and ruin reign supreme in the country, and that the Red Cross will have to send food and clothing to farmers in a measure equal to former activities in the near east.” the editorial said. "It is true that individual farmers are suffering. There will be considerable curtailment of crops, but ample provision has been made to bring relief to any section where it may actually be needed. Conditions are not so distressing.” The Telegram quoted letters from officials of state fairs in Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri, expressing opinions that there is no general distress in those states.

G.O.P. CHIEFS AT ODDS OVER AID TONORRIS Strong Demand by Capper for Re-Election Differs With Administration. By Scripps-llaward Setcspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.—Interest in the administration’s decision regarding support of Senator Norris in his re-election fight was increased today as a result of the strong demand of Senator Capper (Kan.), regular Republican, that Nebraska send its progressive spokesman back to the senate. Although Capper is ail administration man, his newspaper, the Topeka Daily Capital, recently declared that the return of Norris is “a matter of the utmost importance to the people of his state and country as well.” Disregarding Norris’ declaration for Al Smith in 1928, his attack upon the administration and his support of progressive measures in the senate, the editor-senator predicted that Norris would be reelected “by an overwhelming majority.” Meanwhile, the White House stood pat on its unofficial intimation that the Nebraskan could expect no political aid from that quarter. Administration spokesmen recently repudiated the statement of Senator Fess (Ohio), national chairman, that the G. O. P. organization would back up Norris, despite his irregularity. It is understood the senatorial campaign committee, headed by Senator Moses (New Hampshire) and Senator Steiwer (Oregon), will furnish reinforcements to Norris if he wants them. Before leaving the capital at the close of the senate session Moses indicated he would hold oufr a helping hand, even to the men whom he called “sons of the wild jackass.” The Nebraska situation presents a difficult problem to Fess. If Fess withholds assistance, or aids an independent Republican, he will be accused of conspiring to elect exSenator Hitchock, a Democrat and wet.

DEMOCRATS TO RESCUE NATION, SAYSALSMITH Party to Make This Happy and Prosperous Country, He Asserts. Bu United Press NEW YORK. Aug. 21.—Alfred E. Smith predicts the Democratic party “soon will be in national control and will make this a happy, as well as a prosperous, nation.” A statement by the former presidential candidate that is believed to sound the keynote for the coming state and national campaigns was read before the Joel Parker Association Wednesday at West Orange, N. J. It is Smith's most important utterance on national affairs in months. That the prosperity issue will be used against the Republican party in the coming congressional contests and in the presidential campaign of 1932, just as it was against the

Democrats in 1928, was indicated by the tenor of the Democratic leader's remarks. Many botanists regard a bald cypress tree in Santa Maria del Tula, Mexico, as the oldest living tree in the world. It is probably from 4.000 to 6.000 years of age.
