LESS BLUFF, IS PLEA TO FARMER IN LOAN CRISIS " % More Common Sense, Not Mortgage Sale Riots, Held Solution. The ,MrciT, power of (he farmer haw been displayed in America's farming rrgion In prevention of mortgage foreriosure sales, of farcical bidding of 10 cents for a cow and 15 rents tor a horse. The plight of the farmer and his side of the story has been told repeatedly under datelines from all over the corn and wheat belts. The United Press presents here the other side of the picture BY RAY BLACK United Press Staff Uirrespondent CHICAGO. Feta. 24 More common sense and less bluff is the solution to the farm mortgage foreclosure problem, as seen by C. B Jennett, vice-president of the First Tiust joint stock-land bank of Chicago. “It is time to think of the investor as well as the farmer,” he said. “The attitude of mortgage holders who put the farmers on the defensive by forcing the issue now is .lamentable,” Jennette said today in his office in the First Natoinal bank building. ‘ That attitude results in demonstrations by farmers as those at Kankakee, 111., and fans the flames of trouble. If the idea becomes widespread it will result in refusal of city groups to pay interest on mortgages and may force a general moratorium. Disastrous Consequences “Consequences of such a situation would be disastrous. Purchasing power of the investors would be curtailed drastically, and the pinch would be felt all along the line.” Jennett stressed that no expensive machinery would have to be set up to carry out a common sense solution of the problem, as between farmer and morgage holder, and which would respect the rights of both. Jennett does not favor a moratorium for a set time in any area, he explained, because it would halt payments of interest on mortgages by those well able to pay. “Asa matter of fact,” he said, “department of agriculture figures show that about half the farms in this country are free of incumbrance. and of the other half less than 50 per cent are unable to pay anything, while more than 50 per cent could pay something, if not the full amount.” Lay Cards on Table • The policy of the joint stock land bank has been to deal with the farmer as an individual, according to the Vice-President. “We tell the farmer to lay his cards on the table,” he said. "We tell him that we will give him more time if he will agree to pay all he possibly can on his debt. We dt not say we'll allow him two years, or two months. He might inherit a fortune in the meantime. We do tell him that we’ll go along with him as long as he dees his best. “But when a mortgage foreclosure sale is scheduled arG farmers are able to overawe the authorises and prevent it, the morale of the people as a whole is shaken. Other farmers wonder why they should ' pay, when their neigbhors do not. “It is far better, in my opinion, to let the farmer stay on his land, dealing with him as an honest man who wants to pay his debts and will pay as much as he can.” U. S. LIQUOR HEARING CONTINUED TO MARCH 3 Special Agents From Another State Fail to Appear here. Failure of special prohibition agents from another state to appear to testify Thursday resulted in liquor hearing of James Surface, 26. of 1220 North Illinois street, being continued until March 3 by Fae W. Patrick, United States commissioner. While agents and police were in Surface's apartment Tuesday night to arrest him on liquor transportation charges, they arrested A1 Pilotto, 38.’ identifed as a Chicago gangster, who walked into the apartment carrying a traveling bag which police said contained a loaded revolver. . Surface was placed under $5,000 bond today pending hearing. Benjamin Erwin. 820 South Laclede street, was held to the federal grand jury today on liquor transportation charges by Howard S Young, commissioner.

Contract Bridge

BY W. E. >rKENNEY Secretary American Bridie Uearue can not appreciate how ■*- popular bridge is today until you see the thousands of people who enjoy bridge every afternoon in the parks at St. Petersburg. Fla. This city has a number of open air sunshine clubs where card tables. chairs and cards are furnished to tourists desiring to play. On windy days they furnish little sticks with each table to keep the cards from blowing away. In one park alone I have seen as many as 250 tables in play in one afternoon, and was surprised in strolling from one table to an- | other to find not a single group playing for a stake. Every one was ; playing for sociability and love of the game. One afternoon in one of the parks! I was giving a demonstration of blindfold bridge. Wilbur M. Cotton, city manager, kindiy consented to play at one table. He was sitting in the South and this is the hand that was dealt to him.

The Bidding

Mr. Cotton in the South opened with one spade. His partner bid two no trump. Mr. Cotton, having control of only two suits, could not invite a slam as yet, and decided to show his strength in spades, so responded with three spades. North, knowing that his partner has a solid spade suit of at least five cards, "due to the re-bid, decided that he would show the heart suit before supporting the spade, and bid four hearts. Cotton correctly figured that as he held the ace and king of clubs, his

Street Opera Jobless Singers Given Right to Perform on Paris Avenues.

By United Press PARIS, Feb. 24—Professional singers out of work have been granted the right to sing along the boulevards. Hitherto street-singing ha£ been prohibited as a peddling nuisance. The present ruling is limited strictly to unemployed music-hall and operatic artists, who must prove professional employment within the last two years to attain licenses. Only at stated times, moreover, will these performers be permitted to sing. The “boulevard recitals” will be legal from 11 a. m. to 2 p. m. and from 6 to 9 p. m. The project promises to be a bizarre experiment, since it is questionable how well the strains of “Madelon” will harmonize against the boulevard cacophony of auto-horns and the treble squeaks of taxis. In light of the hundreds of the operatic and musical-comedy fraternity without work, however, the police acquiesced to the solicitations of a committee of producers and critics. Accordingly, case habitues aiong the boulevards soon will have the Paris equivalent of “open-air opera,” lacking only orchestra and costumes.

■ partner must have something in diamonds to bid two no trump. Therefore, he bid five clubs. North responded with five diamonds. That was sufficient for Cotton, who immediately plunged into seven spades. I now was shown the declarer's hand, and the dummy. I previously had looked at the two hands at the other tablel was to play at the ; same time. I then was blindfolded | and here is the play as it came up : at Mr. Cotton's table. The Play West opened with the jack of ■ clubs. I directed the queen to be ; played from dummy. Two rounds jof trump were taken, which drew ; all the opponents’ trump. Cn the next spade play. East signaled in diamonds by dropping the ; eight and then on the fourth spade ! play, when I discarded the deuce of hearts in dummy, he dropped the eight of hearts, thus echoing in hearts. I now realize that neither finesse would work, and the only chance to make the contract was to resort to the play known as the Vienna coup. My next play was a small diamond, which was won in dummy with the ace. A club was returned and won in the South with the king. The ace of clubs was played and East was forced to discard the five of diamonds. The deuce of diamonds was discarded from dummy on 1 the ten of spades, and East discarded the ten of diamonds. The four of spades was led and dummy's jack of diamonds discarded and now East was helpless. If he discarded his king of diamonds, the queen in the South hand would be good, while if he discarded a heart, as was done in this case, dummy’s three hearts were good and the grand slam was made.

spread to the Ladywood school nearby. A garage of the school was destroyed as firemen battled under the handicap of a high wind which fanned the flames. Loss to the home, which was burned to the ground, is estimated at $60,000, including expensive household furnishings. The garage, also destroyed, was valued at $750. For more than six hours, firenfen fought the flames with hose lines laid to Fall creek. Finally, unable to check the flames, efforts were concentrated on preventing spread of the fire to other buildings at the school. South China will have air-con-conditioned trains during the summer, if present plans develop.
