Acceptance of a place on the new joint Muscle Shoals commission by Edward A. O'Neal of Alabama, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation, has met with strong criticism from Senator Caraway of Arkansas. Caraway is head of the senate lobby investigating committee w’hich exposed the Muscle Shoals lobby. “So far as the senate is concerned,’’ said Caraway, “President Hoover could not have selected a worse appointee than Edward A. O'Neal. In my opinion, he was discredited thoroughly by disclosures of the lobby investigation concerning Muscle Shoals. “Ho already has expressed himself on the Muscle Shoals problem and can not now consider it with an open mind.” TIRE SHOP CELEBRATES Fifth Anniversary Is Observed by Rose Company.

Not all the circus horses appear in the rings. Os the almost seven hundred to be brought here by the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey combined shows Thursday, July 30, 400 are of the working variety. The circus men call them the “baggage stock.” They are the “hill-billies” of the show lot. Except for the few that draw the sprinkling wagons you’ll look in vain for the big dapple greys if you go to the circus grounds only just in time to “see the show.” But go early to the railroad yards or

Oruer for the plaque was placed Monday by the works board, in preparation for dedication of the port. It was during Slack’s administration that plans for a big municipal airport were started, and Slack named committees which studied the situation for months, and eventually selected and purchased the present site and started improvements.

visit the lot during the morning and you’ll'find the real workers. Once things are in place the baggage stock are bedded down in the block-long stables where they snooze and eat during the hours when the “ring-stock” are prancing in the big top. “All fine, too,” admits Tom Lynch, the 79-year-old boss of the baggage stock department, who has been fifty-four years with the big show. “Mighty purty sight. But shucks. They’re just dude ponies. Nary one of ’em worth a cent when it comes to pullin’. Without the baggage stock there wouldn’t be no circus for them to kick up in.”

Kirk McKinney, works board president, explained. “The field was purchased under the Slack administration, but most of the improvements were carried out under the present administration.”

GRASSHOPPERS ‘HARVESTED’ BY GIANTSCOOPS Nebraska Farmers’ Crop Destroyed by Millions of Insects. By United Press GOTHENBURG, Neb., July 28— Huge homemade machines known as “bulkers” rolled across Nebraska fields today as farmers “harvested” bushels of greyish-yellow, devasting grasshoppers instead of the tons of grain which they had hoped to reap. Fighting no longer with any hope of saving this year’s crops, many farmers stored their threshers and went into action with the “bulkers” which scooped up the swarming insects from the barren fields and tossed them into oil containers. At the end of each round of the fields, the insects were dumped in piles to be burned. There was little

left for the millions of invading hoppers to destroy, but farmers hoped that by killing off this year’s horde the danger of a similar invasion next year could be reduced. Autos Kill Hordes The "bulkers” were Just one form of defense employed to fight the millions of ’hoppers which have swarmed the last few weeks across farms of several mid-western states, destroyed one field after an other in their march and defied all efforts of man to stop them. On other farms automobiles were brought into use. Erecting a screen at the front to catch the grasshoppers, and attaching them to batteries, farmers drove through their acreages electrocuting the pests. In some sections, bran mash was poisoned and placed in the fields, but loss of chickens and livestock, which ate the poisoned stuff, was so great as to make this method generally Impracticable. Loss to Be Heavy Last year there was a heavy hatch of ’hoppers, but their numbers were not destructive, and little attention was paid to them. A mild winter preserved the eggs and the present infestation is the result. So far sixty-three of Nebraska’s ninety-three counties have reported
