During the worst of the drouth he set his alarm clock every two hours at night, when sufficient wind was blowing to turn the vanes, and watered his plant rows. In less than five months McMecn has netted more than $600 in feeding and selling hogs and has bought all his feed. Since feed costs 3 cents a pound ' he supplements it with “hog weed" which he pulls every morning.

TEXAS GARDEN NETS $88 FROM $3.20 IN SEED
DALHART, Tex., (UP) —Depression and drouth hold no fears for Ross McMeen and his wife, farmers living near here. The McMcens have lived well during the worst drouth in the history of this section of the country and have never asked for relief. "The wife and I have done that by gardening," said McMeen. "Garden surplus, sold to merchants or direct to customers has bought all the staple goods we need. From the garden we canned enough to last us and also had fresh vegetables and fruit.” McMeen said he bought $2.20 worth of garden seed this year,
SAN FRANCISCO, (UP) — Any further attempt by the United States to annex and colonize islands in the southern Pacific is likely to prompt other powers to protest, according to numerous advices received in shipping circles here. While it is not regarded certain that no dispute will arise with England relative to the colonization of Jarvis, Baker and Howland islands that are to serve as bases for an aviation service between the United States, New Zealand and possibly Australia, word received here indicates that all other islands are being carefully watched not only by England, but by New Zealand and Australia as well. Reports received here say that two New Zealand patrol boats have been sighted off Christmas island. The news has been interpreted as the

the visit of the British cruiser Wellington at Jarvis island. While the latter visit was carried out in a strictly official manner, notice being given in advance that the visit would be one of courtesy, observers here declare that it ir significant of the interest that Great Britain and the Dominions is taking in the possible colonization of Pacific islands. Further notice has been received here that in the eventual extension of an American airline toward Australia. the American contract will go no farther than New Zealand. The final lap from New Zealand to Australia. it has been announced, will go either to an Australian or a New f Zealand concern.

first public knowledge that the British government might be starting an Investigation of American colonization plans as well as a survey of the hundreds if not thousands of other small islands in the Pacific. Heretofore these islands have not even been regarded as worth visiting but with the sudden development of Pacific aviation might at any moment become potential aviation bases. While most of these island dots have been claimed more or less by one or another of the powers interested In the Pacific, none ever has been colonized. The United States example of colonizing Howland, Jarvis and Baker islands with a few school boys from Honolulu, it is declared, awakened all the Pacific powers to the necessity of taking more serious steps to establishing ITfeir claims to islands than merely asserting that they belong to them. Japan, for example, has thousands of such islands in the Pacific, the bulk of which still remain uninhabited but which might easily be colonized for _ any eventual use it might want to make of them. The appearance of the two New Zealand patrol boats off Christmas island was almost simultaneous with
HOBOES SCOl'T NEW MEMBERS FAR AND NEAR CLEVELAND, (UP)—Plans for I wider international expansion and a program of social reform are anj nounced by the “International ItinI erant Migratory Workers’ Union, j Hoboes of the World,” of which Jeff Davis is "king.’’ At an international conference to be held "sometimes next year’’ in England, King Jeff hopes British 'boes will join his American membership of 814,000 and his newly-added Canadian contingent of 60,000. Davis, who as king speaks the best king's English and dresses in the manner of a prince, said his organization during the coming year would devote increasing attention to: Attempts to keep boys under 21 off the highways Efforts to lower rail-mileage fares in other countries, with special rates to recognized hoboes. The Hoboes of the World for years had advocated the 2-cent a mile rate established recently in the United States. I At the Canadian session, in Welland, Ont., Stephen Reif, “chief dis- | patcher for Canada,” turned over to i Davis his bloc of members and pledged co-operation in a move further to internationalize the “ ’boe.” Through international expansion, Davis hopes to attract greater respect for travelc-s who like to work as they go. "Our Canadian American alliance should mean that our ’boes will be recognized in Canada just as theirs are here, now,” Davis said. "We're going to have new membership cards now, with thumbprints, too. That way, we’ll be sure there

are no ‘bums’ or ‘tramps’ in our organization." Confounding the word “bum” with hobo is a grave mistake with a 'boe. It causes Davis to make all sorts of faces. ’(i He will tell you in 75 Websterian words why a hobo is not a bum or a tramp and why even a vagobond deserves no rank. “Even Jim Tully couldn’t get in our organization. He’d been a bum,” the “king” shrugged. What we seek is the same recognition everywhere that Spain and Germany give the ’boe. There, they never stop you.” Davis said much had been done al-
ready through lectures in schools, against boys too young leaving home for the road. Many of the talks Davis makes himself. Through stonny years of monarchy, the “king” frequently has had to defend his crown. Pretenders rise and fall. Now, he says, no pretender has made any headway, and claims of all have been disproved. They apologize, too, after it’s over, according to King Jeff. “The thing people must get straight is that the 'boe really wants to work. Harry Hopkins knows that better than anyone else. I told him and he recognizes it.” William Green, American Federation of Labor president, in a letter recently to King Jeff, wrote: "We have not failed to appreciate the fact that your organization has always stood fairly and squarely for practical measures, for workable policies. . . .” Jack London lauded him as “an excellent example of the wanderluster who was ever refined and nonalcoholic.” The king is near 60, looks 40, dresses almost collegiately, but with reserve. His billfold bulges with cards of 72 unions. When he’s home, which is rarely, he lives in Cincinnati.
