CURTAIL CROPS, STATE FARMERS TOLD BY HYDE Secretary of Agriculture Urges Hoosiers to Keep Faith in Tariff. Curtail crops until you produce at a profit, keep faith in the tariff, doubt debentures and remember the American farmer is not a Russian peasant. That briefly was the advice to Hoosier agriculturists given in two talks here Thursday by Arthur M. Hyde, secretary of agriculture in the Hoover cabinet. Hyde's principal address was delievered at the state fairground on Thursday night before 300 members and guests of the state board of agriculture at dinner in the Manufacturers’ building. “The only answer to overproduction is less production,” the speaker declared. “Our crops should be balanced against market demands, and production should be such an amount as Can be sold at a price which covers the cost of production plus a profit.

Tariff Is Praised , anf l not the number of bushels of grain must determine the living standard of the American farmer.” High praise was voiced for the tariff as an aid to the farmer, and Hyde warned against putting faith in such other governmental remedies as equalization, debentures, subsidy and the like. He termed these things “only political promises t.nat cheat their own end.” “I would rather abandon exports of agriculture than place the plane of living of the American farmer on the same plane with the Russian peasant,” he asserted. Elliott Also Speaks Edward C. Elliott, president of Purdue university, also spoke at the dinner which was attended by county agricultural agents and members of the Purdue university agricultural school faculty. He urged the fanners to cooperate in managing their own affairs of production, but asserted that although this advice has long been given it still remains “a Utopian hope.”

Dinner was served by Butler university co-eds. C. Y. Foster, president of the agriculture board, presided. Governor Harry G. Leslie was also an honor guest, and had accompanied Hyde on the fifth annual banker-business men’s agricultural tour of Marion county during the day. Hyde addressed the 500 bankers and business men making the tour at a luncheon at the home of Guy McFarland, near Southport.

By United Press CHICAGO, June 26.—Louis Nettlehorst, executive of Lincoln park police, received a letter today asking him please would it be “all right for lady swimmers to swim at Lincoln park beaches wearing only trunks and brassiers?” Said Nettlehorst, blushing: “Well—ah, decency must be preserved.

age this government to study the acute financial problems of certain Central and South American countries. They count upon active support from New York interests with Latin-American connections. The direction which any American efforts to aid South America might take can not be predicted at this time. Economists generally agree that the extremely low prices of basic agricultural commodities and rawmaterials are the cause of LatinAmerica’s financial troubles. Hence it is thought in some quarters that the most likely approach to the problem might be to seek action to stimulate the movement of commodities. Lowering of tariffs is one of the means suggested. The so-called white rhinoceros of Africa is rapidly becoming extinct.

HAMMOND BOY. 5, GIVEN AWAY BY HISMOTHER Childless Couple Takes Howard, Lad Who Was Thrown Out. By United Press HAMMOND, Ind., June 26. — Five-year-old Howard Timmons, whose mother said she neither loved nor wanted him, found happiness today and a welcome in the home of a woman who for years had wanted a child and lost the two she had. Howard was found wandering in the streets a few nights ago. Police kept him overnight after he explained that his mother had told him to “get out.” Police then were told by the mother, Mrs. lona Marie Timmons, 25, that Howard’s story was true. “Howard’s real name is Konopa,” she said. “I was married to Jack Konopa when I was 18. Jack divorced me when Howard was 10 months old. Howard was ‘boarded out’ most of the time until I married Mr. Timmons, and I guess he wasn’t very happy. “After I was married again, I took Howard, but he was bad and kept running away. He simply made my life miserable, and it’s true that I told him I didn’t like him any more and wished he would get out.

Big Hearted By Times Special CHICAGO, June 26.—L. W. Hotz, druggist, always has the best interests of holdup meh at heart. So when two of the latter pushed guns at Hotz’s middle today and when he simultaneously spied a policeman outside his store, he said: “You’d better beat it. There’s a cop outside. Here, you can go cut the back door.” But Hotz forgot to mention, maybe he forgot it on purpose, that the back door opened into a blind alley, where policemen later captured them.

My husband comes first and he didn’t like Howard very well, either.” Police threatened to arrest Mrs. Timmons on a charge of child abandonment unless she took Howard back. She agreed to take him, but refused to go to the station. Her husband, J. G. Timmons, took Howard home. Reading of Howard's experience, Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Forsythe became interested Thursday, visited Mrs. Timmons and offered to take the boy. Mrs. Timmons gave him up willingly. Mr. and Mrs. Forsythe have had two children. Both died. They were happy, they said, to have Howard with them. Howard was happy, too, he said, interrupting his play long enough to explain that he was “pretty sure” now that his mother didn’t love him any more,” and to tell how glad he was that he had found someone who did.

CO-OPERATIVE IS FARMERS' HOPE, SAYSJAPGOOD Columbia Conserve Head Asks Bankers’ Support for Collective Farming. Collective farming was given as the solution of the present day agricultural crisis by William P. Hapgood in a short address before the banker-business man tour at the River Brook farm Thursday. Co-operative buying and co-oper-ative selling has helped the farmer and so will the collective farming idea raise their standards of living, Hapgood said. “But to experiment with the collective farming idea the responsibility rests with the attitude of banker and the business man toward the farmer,” he continued. - ; “Judgment can not be passed on the collective farming idea by just merely watching the progress of the River Brook farm, operated on the same basis as the Columbia Conserve Company, employe-owned canning company. Bankers and business men must support many such -experiments. “Bankers must cast off their present state of fear, forget their present outlook which appears to be only to the same profit and figures,

forget their timidness and change their present attitude.” Hapgood told the bankers he had been unable to get a $5,000 loan on the River-Brook farm, although it embraced 420 acres, had fine, attractive buildings on it which raised the standards of living of the help, and was valued at $140,000, carrying only a $22,000 mortgage. Hapgood charged the bankers with refusing to make a loan unless it could be redeeemed in federal reserve cash the next day. Bankers in the audience admitted this policy was followed so

that depositors could be protected. Hapgood replied the fanner usually was one of the strongest depositors. and added that if it becomes necessary the fanner, who at present is receiving only a meager living, can reduce further his standard of living to attain victory. ‘ But the banker and business men must not forget they are responsible for what happens.” he said. "A drastic change is necessary,” he said. Out of the annual American bill of $3,000,000,000 for sickness, about 20 per cent goes to doctors.
