MOONEY'S AIDS Si URGE BOYCOTT i ON CALIFORNIA Nation-Wide Move Demand in Special Issue of Weekly. Bu Scripnt-ITotcanl tfeicspavrr Alliance OKLAHOMA CITY, July 3. In a special Independence day edition the American Guardian, ParmerLabor weekly, today calls for a na-tion-wide bcp'coct on California until Tom Mbbnif and Warren Billings are freed. Oscar Ameringer, veteran editor of this organ, claims a circulation of 156,000 for the special MooneyBililngs edition, foe appeal says in part: “This is not labor's case against California. It is America’s against California. The craven cowardice, the heartless callousness, the disregard of human decency displayed by the ruling forces of California is a challenge to America. “Therefore, be done with pleading and beginning. Say it in deeds. Say it in dollars—the sacred language of California's upper caste. “This means the boycott of California by every man and woman who still has a spark left of the holy fire that once upon a time made this country the land of the free. The boycott was good enqugh for the founders of this republic to bring a British parliament to terms. “Boycott California and all that It implies—until justice is done to Mooney and Billings. You owe this to your country, to humanity, to the opinion of the world at large, and above all to your flag.” PALLBEARERS NAMED FOR BASH SERVICES Realtors, to Honor Former Head of Indianapolis Board.

KOKOMO, Ind., July 3.—A small estate here has been given to G. H. Scott, named in the will of his half-sister, Mrs. Catherine Goyer, just as authorities had decided to call an end to their three-year search, and him legally dead. Scott learned of Mrs. Goyer’s death, and that he was sole heir to her $3,000 estate, through a chance remark of his son to the postmaster in Woodston, Kan. The postmaster was one of the scores of persons to whom W. W. Drinkwater, executor of the will, had written in his search for Scott, who has been living in Sabetha, Kan., near Woodston.

Death of John Menzie, 63, Greensburg, in a Ciftcinnati hotel, at first ascribed to heat, and later to a bullet wound in the heart, was caused by the bursting of a cancerous growth on the heart, according to Dr. J. N. Patterson, deputy coroner. Dr. E. T. Riley of this city, who examined the body on instructions of relatives here, said he noted a bullet hole in the heart. The deputy coroner, however, maintains the hole was caused by bursting of the growth.

According to a bulletin of the bureau of the census, there are 181,570 farms in Indiana having a total acreage of 19,688,675, and a total value, including lan4, buildings, implements and machinery, of $1,502,320,632. The figures are given -in detail for each county and each minor civil division within the state. This is the first federal census report to show these figures by minor civil divisions. Os the total farm acreage, 51.9 per cent, or 10,213,813 acres, was crop land on which crops were harvested in 1929; 5.9 per cent, or 1,160,511 acres was crop land which lay idle or fallow; and 1.8 per cent, or 347,912 acres, was land on which the crops failed to mature or were not harvested for any cause. Pasture land with a tota} of 5,956,416 acres, representing 30 per cent of the total farm acreage of the state, included 2,810,184 acres of plowable land, 1,833,869 acres of woodland, and 1,312,363 acres of other land.

STATE ASSURED THIS YEAR WILL LACKDROUGHT Meteorologist Says Rains Late in Season Preclude Situation Like 1930. Fear of a renewal of the disastrous 1930 drought was allayed today by J. H. Armington, senior meteorologist of the United States weather bureau at Inldanapolis. If present conditions continue, Armington said, crops in Indiana will not suffer materially from the heat. Armington pointed out that although precipitation at present is far under the amount for the corresponding period of last year, the rain has been scattered over a larger period, providing vegetation sufficient moisture to insure normal growth. The sub-soil, however, he said, still is in need of water, never having recovered from the drought of last year, which drained every drop of moisture to a depth of many feet. “Heat waves such as the present one,” Armington said, “will not wither crops in the.state if intermediate showers continue as they have recently. This hot weather is especially good for corn. It and other vegetation have progress well after a slow start, caused by a cold spring, and from indications at present will return normal yields.” In explaining the paradoxical rainfall condition, Armington pointed out that precipitation now is 7.03 inches under normal. At the end of June, 1930, precipitation was only 1.55 inches below normal. Last year, however, nearly all the entire year’s rain fell during January and March,, so that this year, although there had been approximately six inches less, the situation is more satisfactory because rain did not fall in such a short period. Only 12.91 inches of rain has fallen this year, weather bureau records reveal. For June the figure was only 2.20. “What the soil needs,” Armington said, “is a long, steady rain that will not run off into creeks and streams, but sink into the ground and replenish the supply of moisture in the sub-soil. Then, even, if precipitation falls off, crops will have enough water deep under the surface to sustain growth.

WHEAT PRICE ATJIEW LOW Cheapest at Noblesville in Fifty Years. By Times Special NOBLESVILLE, Ind., July 3.—The price of wheat has declined 5 cents on the local market, making a drop of 15 cents during the past ten days.

The price of oats has dropped 1 cent a bushel, and rye 5 cents. DEATH PIER CLOSED Two Divers Suffer Broken Necks at Whiting. By Timet Special WHITING, Ind., July 3.—The pier of the Whiting park beach on Lake Michigan, where three persons suffered broken necks while diving, rerulting in two deaths, has been closed.

BY WALTER D. HICKMAN npHE book publishers are getting ready for fall and winter, judg ing by the number of catalogs * have received this week. Things look pretty serious minded, judging by the fall lists submitted by four leading publishers. The first announcement from Lippincott’s for the autumn books is “Cramer, Archbishop of Canterbury,” by Hilaire Belloc. This is the third of Belloc’s biographies of the great central figures of the Reformation, In fiction, Lippincott’s will publish “Once Again the Lone Wolf,” by Louis Joseph Vance. Also, “The Umbrella Murder,” by Carolyn Wells. Minton, Balch & Cos. in the fall will publish “So, You’re Going to Buy a Book,” a book of drawings by Helen H. Hoskinson, whose drawings have aided in making the New Yorker so popular. Putnams announced “Rockne of Notre Dame,” by Delos W. Lovelace, a New York newspaper man. Also “Mouse Trap,” by M. N. A. Messer. Covici-Frida, Inc., comes out with the announcement that they will publish “About the Murder of the Night Club Lady,” by Anthony Abbot. This is a Thatcher Colt detective mystery. tt tt tt What are they reading in New York? Brentano’s gives the answer as follows: “Father,” by Elizabeth; “The Road Back," by Remarque; “Ships of Youth,” by Maude Diver; “The Good Earth,” by Pearl S. Buck; “Call Her Savage,” by Tiffany Thayer, and “The Square Circle,” by Denis Mackail. St St st JOHN GALSWORTHY has been elected a foreign honorary member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, second oldest scientific society In the United States. . . .

Waldo Frank will spend it on Long Island correcting the proofs for his forthcoming book, “America Hispana.” . . . Fairfax Downey, author of “Burton: Arabian Knights Adventurer,” will spend it in New Hampshire. St St St E. M.

He dined in Dublin with Yeats, Walter Starkie, Lennox Robinson and others, and came away with the impression that while Yeats is still God, "Walter Starkie is high priest of Irish letters. Train has gone to Bar Harbor. tt tt a In England, the so-called omnibus book is winning popularity by leaps and bounds. At first composed of excerpts from several different books, its original conception has now been so altered that several novels are frequently bound together and issued at low cost as a single volume. One of the latest, for instance, is a massive tome by Maud Diver, bearing the title, “The Men of the Frontier Force.” It includes her “Captain Desmond, V. C.,” “The Great Amulet” and “Desmond’s Daughter,” this trilogy running to 1,016 pages, a fact prominently played up on the jacket. Houghton Mifflin Company have just published Mrs. Diver’s new story of Anglo-Indian life, “Ships of Youth.” u tt m Isaac Don Levine’s Stalin will bo published in England by Jonathan Sape, and in Spain by Editorial Apolo of Barcelona. tt tt St Houghton Mifflin Company have just published an illustrated edition of Havelock Ellis’ “Soul of Spain,” one of the author’s most widely read volumes. His classic pages do not deal with Spanish politics, economics or hotel accommodations, but they interpret for the reader the mind and spirit of the Spanish peoples. tt tt u Just as children who prefer pickles and doughnuts may be trained to like vegetables, so children who prefer comic strips may be taught to enjoy literary masterpieces, says Florence E. Bamberger of Johns Hopkins university iif an article that is one of the twelve discussions of juvenile reading in “Children’s Library Yearbook No. 3," just published by the American Library Association. u tt AMONG the recent mystery stories you might like to know about are: “The Boudoir Murder,” by Milton M. Propper (Harper & Brothers, $2). A well-written story about a girl who got strangled while a train announcer listened in by telephone. A better-than-average story for the literate reader. “The Polferry Riddle,” by Philip MacDonald (Crime Club, $1). A lady’s throat is cut in an English country house . . . and then the suspects begin dying accidental deaths. ... A good story, although not quite as puzzling as some of Mr. MacDonald’s other yarns. “Murder Off Stage,” by Monte Barrett (Bobbs-Merrill, $2). Who strangled the lovely aetress . . . and why .. . and how? .. . Highly baffling, but miserably written ... as is, unforunately, so often the case with mystery stories. The Boat House Riddle,” by J.
