‘ALFALFA BILL' INVADES CAMP OF ROOSEVELT Assails Prosperity Loan Plan to Balance Budget. M;/ t nilr4 Prrf ALBANY. N. Y.. May 20.—William H. 'Alfalfa Bill) Murray, chains; on the end of a big cigar and exercising all of his stinging wit. arrived in New York state today to further his candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomination. Murray's secretary did not think h*> should answer the questions of the group of reporters, but the Oklahoma Governor iasisted on talking and answered questions as long as they were asked. He then left for Hudson, where he is to make two speeches. Governor Murray declared himself against a prosperity loan to balance the federal budget. Why, If we issue $4,000,000,000 of bonds in a prosperity loan It would take $40,000,000 to pay the interest," he declared, wagging a long finger at his questioners. "That would mean we would have to balance the budget all over again." The reporters persistently questioned him about Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt, the leading candidate for the Democratic nomination. He was asked how he felt being in Roosevelt's home state. "Perfectly at home." he snapped, "because I'm here to address the American people " * Arc vou for Roosevelt, Governor Murray?" "No." he said. "Who would your second choice for the nomination be?" I’d be a damn fool to answer that," he snapped. He was in high spirits. He was met by a delegation of Hudson citizens. led by Mayor Archland Best, and a detachment of state police. G. A. R.

The Buttercup BY DR. FRANK THORNE 'Coovrleht. 1932. bv Science Service Inc.t OOTANISTS have given the ■“-* buttercup the generic name Ranunculus, which means a little frog: even learned men will have their mild little jokes, and the way some buttercups squat down by the waterside must have appealed zoologically to sonre of the early stundents of plants who first went about, like later Adam in the garden, distiibuting names. Only Adam didn't use Latin—it hadn't been invented in his time. But the pretty yellow flowers that run close to violets and spring beauties as favorites with children are by no means confined to ponds and marshes, like the familiar .togs. If one insists in dragging the frog-name after the buttercup, one must remember also the upland-dwelling tree frogs that can be found even on the hilltops, for the buttercups are there, too. The secret of this wide distribution is that there are many different kinds of byttercup, and some of them like it wet, and some of them like it dry. There is the water buttercup, to take an extreme example, that lives in the water up to its chin, with most or all of its leaves submerged, and only the tops of its stems appearing above the surface to produce its flowers. Then there are swamp buttercups. that grow on land all right, but on land that is so soggy that another teacupful of water would turn it fluid. The great majority of buttercups, perhaps, are sensible folk like the rest of us. and prefer land that is neither too wet nor too dry—land that would be good for farming. And finally, there are some with a streak of Arab in them, that like to grow in dry places. Any giv<*n locality will have' several of these varied species. It is great sport to walk from marshy pond-edge to dry hill-t6p, spotting buttercups as you go. Next: Dutchman's breeches. Farm mortgages now held in the United States are valued at more than $9,360,000,000.
