CAMPUS LADS TO CHANGE ERA Dallas, Tex. — (UP) — Revolt of tollege students, now smouldering on American campuses, will lead the world out of the era of home-brew, ballyhoo and skepticism, believes John Caylor, director of Baptist student work in Texas. History has been maae time and again in student movements, and history will repeat Itself, he point ed out. The logic and reasoning of Plato and Socrates, with their youthful disciples, revolutionized the thinking world of their day. Christ and his 12 disciples consti tuted another student movement, according to Caylor. "The reformation was not fought on the battlefield, but in the rooms of Swingli, Tindale and other stu dents," Caylor said. "Opposing the reformation was another student movement—Ignatius Loyola and his Jesuit order. “The American foreign mission movement was bom in a prayer meeting held in a haystack by Rice, Mills, Richards and Hall—all stu dents. The complexity of modern life is challenging the student, Caylor be lieves. He pointed out that 65 per cent of sums spent on missions last year by Southern Baptists were spent in America. This share went to the education of youths alert to modern problems, said Caylor. -♦♦ How Tax Increase Would Hit Incomes <_/ Washington —(AP)—The amount ol income tax a married person with one dependent will pay on 1931 income under the increases proposed by the administration is shown in the following table, in which it is assumed that all in come under $10,000 is earned and half of all income between $10,000 and $30,000 is earned.

Trelle, whose farm lies 700 miles north of the international boundary, won the title of wheat king in 1926, 1930 and this year. In 1926 Trelle, an unknown farm er in the Peace river district of Al berta, was adjudged winner of the wheat and oats sweepstakes in Chi , cago. It was the first time on rec ord that an individual had captured both of these coveted awards Trelle at the time was 31 and his fame as a prize wheat grower spread over the continent. As Trelle sprang suddenly into fame so did the remote Alberta region where he made his home. The trek into this vast fertile hin terland was immeasurably increased by the achievements of the young Wembley farmer. Born in U. S. A. Ten years before the new “wheat king,” according to his own admis sion, did not know wheat from 1 oats. Born in Idaho in 1895, of Ger man-American parents, he came to Alberta with his family in 1900. During his high school days In Edmonton he watched the settlers’ ox-carts forming themselves into caravans for the long trek into the Peace river country, but the thought of following after the vanguard never occurred to him. At the age of 17 he was th« champion boy orator of Alberta. He gravitated naturally to the Uni versity of Edmonton where he en rolled in the civil engineering course. His parents had preceded him in the Peace river country and had filed on a homestead for him, Trelle then being under age. Besides his own quarter section he broke and planted another, and his first crop was enormous. Later, however he completed his engineer ing course, and by virtue of this he obtained a commission in the Royal Air Force during the war The war, however, ended before he had a chance to see service over seas. Without money or job he decided to return to the farm. He married and with his young wife from the western states, Trelle set about to acquire all the agricultural knowl edge available through agricultural bulletins and farming literature. No small amount of his learning he received from the Dominion gov Two grain kings . . . Herman T relle of Wembley, Alberta, who by winning the world’s wheat crown in 1926, 1930 and this year at the International Livestock exposition in Chicago, lakes permanent pos session of the trophy. He is display ing his prize durum wheat. Inset is Edward N. Lux of Waldron, Ind., chosen corn king at the exposition. Lux's brother, I’eter J., was corn k Ing in 1919, 1922 and 1926. eminent experimental station, near his farm. He increased his holding to 480 acres, developed an enthusi asm for quality grain and achieve ments began to come fast. Following his victories in Chi cago in 1926, Trelle became a cele brated figure in agriculture. His grain was sought far and wide for seed purposes. Big colonization en terprises in the United States made attractive offers for his services, but nothing could lure him from [ his Wembley farm. Wife Aids in Comeback Behind Trelle's success in 1931 is the story of how his wife kept the home fires burning after TreUe had suffered a breakdown in health, Undaunted Mrs. Trelle kept on with the work he had started. She spent hours In the long winter eve- J nings going over the durum wheaj grain by grain, and it is largelj ' to her work in painstakingly pick ing out each kernel that his success is attributed. Both she and Trelle were offered a trip around the world for their aid to Canadian agriculture, but they only took a Mediterranean cruise. After Trelle’s first award at Chi cago, the Alberta government bought a quarter section (160 acres) of land adjoining his and gave it to the young farmer- He was also presented with a purse of gold by the Chamber of Commerce of Ed monton, was the recipient of a mag nificent buffalo coat and rug from Louis Trudel, the famous “buffalo king” of the northwest and had other gifts showered upon him. HYBRID CORN TEST WINNER Ability to Withstand Dry Seasons Indicated by Plots \. -tcrloo, la.— —Of 13 vari eties of hybrid corn planted in test plots to determine which is best suited to conditions in this *rea, a yellow dent from a farm near Cherokee was said by County Agent Paul Barger to be the best. On each of the two test farms, 100 hills of each strain were plintcd and the average yield computed. After the corn was harvested, a moisture sample was taken of each and the yield of the plots weighed. Three hybrids among the five va rieties yielding most left the opin ion among those interested that hybrids are able to withstand drought conditions better than most kinds. A variation from 99 to 1C2 pounds in each 100-hill plot was noted. Massachusetts Finds Unluckiest Automobile Boston — (UP) — Authoritiei investigating supposed frauds Lm connection with Massachusetts' compulsory automobile liability in surance law located the ‘‘unluck iest” automobile in this part of the country. During two years this machine had been involved in 42 accidents, in which 30 persons, all relatives, had claimed to have been injured. Within the two-year period the car had been sold 18 times, but always to a relative of the first owner. Stolen City Records Valued at $25,000 San Francisco— (UP) —The fact that 27 volumes of San Francisco city records for 1853 are priced for sale in a bookman’s catalogue at $26,000, mainly because they were stolen from the city’s archives, re cently led City Attorney John O'Toole to consider means of re covering them. O'Toole acted on the ground that the records wero still the legal property of the city. The records, cun sliting of the minutes of the board of aldermen’s sessions from 1851 to 1855, allegedly were taken lrom the archives by Henry Meiggs, who fled to South America with the books. They were purchased in Peru from a person claiming to have re ceived them from Meigg’s heirs. ---- Uncle Sam Warns Stamp Collectors ■Washington — (UP) — Eagerness of stamp collectors to pursue their hobby may lead to their arrest and prosecution for criminal offense. Removal of postage stamps, especially those of foreign or rare design, from matter in the mails has long been indulged In by ar dent hobbyists, much to the ag gravation of the postoffice depart ment and the individuals receiving mail from which stamps have been removed, since the recipients are likely to be charged with postage due. Third Assistant Postmaster Gen eral F. A. Tilton has again issued a warning, and also an appeal that all such instances be brought to the attention of the postal authorities. The offense is punishaM* by a lint or imprisonment or botti. HAILED FATHER OF GAME OF BASEBALL Abner Doubleday Celebrated at Inventor. Baseball bat t picturesque vocabu lary all Ita own, and when a world aeries !a being played we expand this Indefinitely. All season we have with ns czars and moguls and kings of swat, but when Earnshaw pitches mich a game ns his first In the world series he becomes, In addition to n big moose and a human scythe, many other strange and wonderful things. However, baseball has had one gen eral who was that In both fact and title, and was, besides, the father of bis country’s national gnme. lie was MaJ. Gen. Abner Douhleday, officially recognized by the Spalding commis sion In 1007 ns the Inventor of the sport, and In whose honor recently hns been held an Informal celebra tion at Cooperstown, N. Y„ where Doubleday laid out the first diamond. As has been said, Doubleday was • real general. lie was a West Pointer and saw gallant service in the Mexican war and the campaign agnlnst the Seminole Indians. IJe fired the first Union gun at Fort Sumter, and at Gettysburg had just been given command of a corps that stemmed the first day’s Confederate rush and made possible the align ment against which Pickett Inter charged gloriously but In vain. There Is a monument to him near Ceme tery ridge and another In Arlington cemetery and a third at Cooperstown. The latter proclaims, from Its site on the original sand lot, that there, In 1831), was played the first game of baseball, "originated by Mnj. Gen. Abner Doubleday." Historians agree upon the glory due the man, but, as Is their wont, differ as to the date. Some contend he was or should have been In the military academy at the time he was sup posed to be making his bid for Im mortality, but the state of New York Officially recognized 1839, and so the marker stands. The field Is one for »nd agplnsttf hlch much can be said. It Is just off Main street and the villagers are able to hurry back to tlglr stores and wait on chance cus tomers between innings. The west ering sun shines full In the catcher’s eyes, but no perfect diamond ever has beon built. Appropriately enough, Dr. E. L. Pitcher of Albany, N. Y., dug up the records that led to recog nition of Cooperstown's almost for gotten glory.—New Orleans Tlmes Plcayune. Old Timer Showed Boys Old Game of Football Both on the stage and In the field Of sport, there are those who long for the good old days and claim that the modern performance Is but the shell of the real thing. This has been claimed more than once by old-time football fans nnd at Yale, for one. It Is believed that the old-timers may be right. It was the old, giant guard. Pudge Heffelflnger, who put doubt in the mind of Old Ell. He returned to the campus at the age of fifty and after watching the Yale varsity for awhile turned to Tad Jones, coaching at that time, and complained: "They don't charge the line properly.” “Well, why don't you go in there and show them the way you used to charge?” Jones suggested with a smile. “I’ll do it,” said the fifty-year-old Pudge, earnestly. He charged the Yale varsity line the way he used to when he was a guard, back in the good old days and In a few minutes had ripped the Yale team to shreds and had Tad pleading with him to get out of the game before he ruined the team be yond repair. The old boy, went away at last, mumbling that football had become a children’s game. It Is a matter of record that he was never again In vited to charge a Yale line.—Ex change. Supreme Sacrifice A very gallant deed was performed by a chemist named Zurbrlggen. He was employed at a chemical works In Switzerland. There was an explosion, and poison gas began to pour out upon the 20 men who were at work. Herr Zurbrlggen, knowing only too well the penalty he must pay, forced his way Into the room where the ex plosion occurred, found the leakage, and stopped It. All the workers were saved, through the swift courage of the chemist, but he himself was m> severely gassed that he died *eo« afterwards. Hero Well Identified AVhen the boily of John Paul loa« was exhumed eminent scientists of the United States and Frame cob ducted an Investigation to ttlentifjr the body. In the comparison of the Ufe-size Houdon bust of John Fast Jones nud the photograph «i th« body taken after the examination It Is seen how the contour of the brow, the arch of the eyebrow, the width between the eyes, the high •'beck bones, the muscles of the fa«v, the distance between the hair ami the root of ttie nose, between (ho sab nasal point and the lips, and ItHtceen the Ups and the point of tln> cliln, all agree The peculiar shape th« lobe of the ear In the land Is the exact counterpart of that observed la the body.
