The single motored plane will be delivered in February. riv3f v w... v. .: w 3v 7w 4 Legge Advises Farm Youth to Work Together Must Co-operate, He Tells Them, to Achieve the Full est Results Chicago Wearing tissue paper hats of pink, blue, green and o dozen other tints, the chairman of the Fed eral Farm Roard and 1200 prize boys and girls of the farm got away from farm arithmetic here and stepped up into the algebra of agriculture. For nine years Alexander II. Legge has been host to the national 4-II Club congress, representing the elite of the boys' and girls' farm clubs when this swarm of youngsters visited the International Harvester Company of which he was president. But this year he was a guest himself. And hp had soinethingnw to say tu farm youth. He said it very simply, and it was thic there is a great deal in agricul ture besides making two blades 01 grass grow where only one grew be fore. For, he noted, the two blades may sell for less than one. Most of the young folks before him. drawn from 43 states and from Canada, had won their trips to Chi cago by multiplying in some form that single blade of grass. He led then a step beyond. The great low floor of the ware house, which had been cleared of binders and other farm machinery to make a place for the luncheon, again lapsed into its accustomeci quiet. The excitement stirred by the cheers and yells of state delegation.-. of youth faded out. The bands in green and red wf re forgotten along with the gesticulations of the chcei leaders. The paper hats were largely laid aside. The tall, serious figure who had been acclaimed as "fighting the bat ties t.f the farm boys and girls." wa.s opening to them the chart of the campaign. Standing in his own native setting of manufacturing for a world market he talked to them as he would with business men. He gave them a lesson in farm salesmanship. He told them, to st'irt with, that the egg business in one great eastern city had been captured by poultrymen 3000 miles away. They learned that city wanted brown egg3. and they set out to supply brown eggs. Farmers living at the city's door might have had that business but they were passed by because they clung to white eggs. Not every city, though, wants brown eggs. A still greater neighbor city in the Kar-t will have nothing but white. ?.lr. Legge spoke of apples shipped 2000 miles and sold in preference to excellent native apples because the long-distance apples were standard ized and made a better article of sale. He related that the orange and lemon producers of the Pacific coast had eleminated gluts in eastern mar kets becaure they studied them and no longer shipped blindly. Manu facturers, he observed, do not con tinue to manufacture when there is no demand. Crowing things alone is not enough, he concluded. There has to be marketing. It can be done ef fectively in only one way. That is through co-operatice action. The day of the farmer who feels he mu.-t be individual and who can not co-operate with his neighbors has passed. The times call for more modern methods on the farm. Go home, said the Federal Farm Board chairman, and tell your parents that agriculture must co-operate. NEWS From Monday's Ds.tlv Mr. and Mrs. Michael Hild were at Council Bluffs Sunday where they spent the day with their son, Emil J. Hild and family in that city. Mrs. J. H.

DRASTIC COOK COUNTY CUT Chicago A 1930 budget aggregat ing $46,177,729 was adopted Thurs day by the Cook county board of commissioners, providing for a 17 per cent cut in salaries for all coun ty employes, or for a 17 per cent re duction in personnel the most dras tic slash in Cook county history. Of the total budget, $1,473,710 i3 allo cated to bonds and $7,036,615 to ac cumulated 1929 liabilities, leaving $37,703,404 for current 1930 ex penses. The 17 per cent cut was necessi tated by a deficit of approximately $5,000,000 which officials have blamed on the delay in completing the 1929 real estate reassessment. The retrenchment program is expect ed to cut the anticipated deficit by $3,280,000. SOVIET EXECUTES 14 AS PROFITEERS Riga. Latvia, Dec. 15.

Farm Bureaus s Commend Work at Washington Federation Indorses Efforts to Place Agriculture on Level with Industry. Chicago The Government's work for farm relief was commenaea o the American Farm Bureau Feder ation, the chief driving force in the seven-year campaign for the deiunci McNary-Haugen bill, In annual con vention, here: The federation approved the co-op eration its officers had given the Fed eral Farm Board. It indorsed the ef fort being made by the board to place agriculture on an economic plane equal tb that of industry," through the invigoration of co-opera tive marketing." It voiced its appre ciation of the adoption this year or a national agricultural policy. At the same time, the arm Bu reaus noted that the farm legisla tion of 1929 would ultimately be found ineffective to handle the great ly debated problem of crop surpluses. The federation pledged its support to the Farm Board in all efforts to ward controll crop surpluses. Protection for the Marketing Act is necessary, the federation avowed. During the convention several state farm bureau officials brought in re ports of efforts being made to ex ploit it. The Government's promotion of co-operative marketing, backed by its advances cf large loans, has been followed by the intrusion of impos ters into this field, it was said. In consequence of exploitation of the Marketing Act, the federation re quested new plans for co-operative marketing and asked that the Farm Board's approval be required of any co-operative marketin project before farmers were asked to join or to par ticipate financially. It was proposed that the Govern nient recognize "co-operative pur chasing organizations which distrib ute necessary supplies used directly in farm operation." This plan would permit the Federal Farm Board to make loans in aid of co-operative purchasing on a large scale. Presl dent Hoover's agricultural tariff pro gram was indorsed. Products from the dependencies of the United States should be subjected to the rate3 of duty which are appli cable to similar products from for eign nations, the federation held. It favored immediate independence for dependencies. The Federation declar ed for the beginning of federal aid to rural schools. The plan is an ex tension of that alrady in vogue in the giving of federal aid to roads This would mean a large Govern ment appropriation for the help of country schools. Reduction la federal taxation now being prepared by Congress should be limited to one yar, it was de clared. Thereafter, the present rates should be resumed. Except for the immediate present, it was maintained more important to reduce the federal debt than to reduce the federal tax The Farm Bureaus may take their national convention to the East for the first time next year. The federa tion referred the invitation of the Massachusetts Farm Bureau to its new board of directors, "for its most serious and sympathetic considera tion." The decision was left to the board. S. H. Thompson of Quincy, HI president of the federation for the last four years, was unanimously re elected, as was E. A. O'Neal of Ala bama, vice-president. Delinquency among farmers on mortgage Installments, held by the Federal Land banks, is 3 per cent less than last year, according to Paul Bestor, Commissioner of the Federal Farm Loan Board. In some banks the delinquencies are 25 to 35 per cent less. Activity in the sale of farm land held by these banks has been ereater than in 1928. In the first 10 months of the current year one bank sold 452 farms and another 256, Mr. Bestor said. WELDING THE HOUSE WETS Washington Fresh from an at tempt to weld the scattering elements on the wetg roup in the house into a lever which mleht throw its strength behind a definite program nenresentative LaGuardlan, New York, made it known Sunday that the first major offensive would come in the consideration of funds for en forcement of the dry laws. Whether this would meet the approval of the various other members of the wet wing in the house, however, was not disclosed. The democratic wets, most of whom are Tammany members from LaGuardia's home state, regarded his move to bring the different elements together in a concerted drive as one that had been instigated by political mntivpq. These did not attend his meeting Saturday which was held to plan a campaign for the session. LuGuardia disclaimed political mo tives and said he would introduce an amendment to the treasury appro priation bill to provide $300,000,000 for prohibition enforcement next year. If this were refused, he said, he would urge $150,000,000 or $100, 000,000. PLAY POSTPONED The play at Lewiston Community club postponed until after Christmas owing to the bad roads.

(Sunday) Ar rested after bloodhounds had trailed him from the scene of the crime, Ed Jones, negro suspect in the slaying of Noel C. White, forty-five chair man of the state democratic execu tive committee, was being rushed to an unannouied prison early Satur day morning for safe keeping. About twenty-five men in auto mobiles were said to be trailing Sheriff Walter Ellis and hi3 pris oner. No violence was expected, however, since Sheriff Ellis was ac companied by four armed deputies and had thirty minutes start on his pursuers.
