HOW TO SPEND YOUR FOOD
MONEY
WASHINGTON—(CNS) — A very
interesting and timely leaflet, “How
to Spend Your Food Money," has just
been issued by the Children’s Bureau
of the U. S. Department of Labor, in
cooperation with the Bureau of Eco
nomics of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture.
The best way to divide each dollar,
a* suggested by the leaflet, is as fol
low* :
For milk or its equivalent, 25 to 30
cents. If you can, buy 1 and one-half
to 2 pints of milk daily for each child,
b-t be sure he gets at least 1 pint a
day. The same quantities should be
provided for pregnant or nursing
mother*. Each other adult should have
1 pint, although fie-hatf this amount
is suggested as a minimum. Choose
the cheapest of the following forms of
milk: Pasteurized fluid milk, evapor
ated milk , dried milk, whole-milk
cheese
For vegetabes and fruit—25 to 30
cents. Recommended by the leaflet are
canned tomatoes, and cabbage to be
used at least twice a week, potatoes,
to be used as often as possible, greens
and other vegetables when possible,
dried beans and peas and the cheaper
dried fruits.
For eggs, lean meat and fish, 10c
out of every food dollar. This should
buy eggs and fresh fish when prices
are low. canned salmon, liver, and the
cheaper cuts of lean meat.
For bread, flour, cereals—20 cents,
to be used for wholegrain cereals such
as oatmeal and cracked wheat, and
some whole.wh«£t bread as well as
other bread and cereals.
For fats, sugar. *nd accessories—20
cents, to be psed for lard, salt pork,
butter margarine, vegetable oil; cane
molasses, serge sirups, sugar, corn
sirup: baking powder, -tea coffee,
cocoa. The following amonition is add
ed as very important to child health:
“Give each child under 2 years at lggst
2 teaspoonfuls of codliver oil every
day. If a family is being provided with
milk or raises vegetables, the leaflet
suggests a different division of each
food dollar, allowing larger amounts
for other articles of food.

HOW TO GET BENEFIT OF HOME
RELIEF LAW
Loans To Help Mortgagors Who Cant
Meet Payments
Washington, D. C. June—The main
ipring of the home mortgage relief
law will be a 200 million dolar gov
ernment-owned “home owners loan
corporation,” Officials say it should
be operating by August, with agents
in every county.
The corporation is to help owners
of homes valued at no more than 20
thousand dollars, and on which the
mortgages do not exceed 80 percent
of the present value. ' It has power
to issue up to two billion in bonds to
take up such mortgages.
A home owner who cannot meet
mortgage payments should first ask
the holder of the mortgage to agree,
rather than face default, to exchange
the mortgage for 18 year bonds, is
sued by the Home Owner* Loan Cor
poration, and bearing 4 per cent in
terest. On these bonds the federal
government guarantees interest but
not principle.
If the mortgage holder agrees the
agreerrr .rt is taken bo the county a~
gent for his approval, and that of
his superior officers.
Upon such approval, the mortgage
holder takes his bonds, and the cor
poration takes over the mortgage
automatically reducing the interest to
6 per cent. The debt is to be paid
off in 15 years.
The corporation expects to accum
ulate a surplus which will enable it
to pay off its 18 year bonds when
they fall due.
If the mortgage covers less than
80 per cent of the value of the prop
erty, as appraised by the agent of the
corporation, it can lend up to that
total to meet taxes and repairs.
If the mortgage holder won’t ac
cept the 18 year bonds then the cor
poration can lend money to the home
owner, up to 40 per cent of the cur- i
rent real value of the property, to
help him take up the mortgage. The
I county agent arranges this. Such
; loans would be at 6 per cent, for 15
years. ,,
The corporation Ls authorized to
postpone the first payments three
\ years or even longer.
Those who have lost ther homes
during the past two years can if
they get the mortgage holder to agree
still avail themselves of the benefits
of the law
i
Through the country agent, the
I corporation can advance up to 50 per
cent of assessed value on unencum
bered homes to meet taxes and re
pars. The corporation-**bso can es
tablish federal savnigs and loan as
sociations where none exist.
SENTENCE SERMONS
Horse racing where 30,000 people
are present makes a beautiful sight;
and that alone is worth something.
Nerve is one of the great prevent
ives of worry; and nerves, one of the
great promoters of it.
There is no fool like an old fool,
but people don’t say much about that
to an old fool.
Straw votes are not decisive, but
the hay vote ‘most always is.’

Replica of African Diamond Mine Provides
Thrills for A Century of Progress Visitors
Chicago, Juna 00.—A coinpleie j
working modal of a South African
diamond mlno with n 300-foot tun
net, n display of diamond polish
In* and cutting in full operation,
and almost a million dollars' worth
of rare diamonds of all sizes are on
display at A Century of Progress—
the Chicago World’s Fair.
The display, known aa the Dia
mond Exhibit, is located in the
General Exhibits Group of the Fair
and la sponsored by the Chicago
Jewelers' Association In co-opera
tion with the Museum of Science
and Industry.
Tha mlno tunnel Is fifteen (Bet
beneath the door of tha General
exhibits building, below dw level
of Lake Michigan. A 29-foot dio
rama of n typical South African
diamond field surrounds the open
ing of tbs pit The visitor enters
the taanel by means of aa elavator
and forthwith in plunged 1,500
feat into the depths of the earth,
or so it seems. Actually the ele
vator descends fifteen feet, but by
means of endless, moving curtains,
the rash of air, sound effects, and
tha damp, pungent smell of a mine,
the Illusion of n long descent is
created.
\ Typical Diamond Mine.
Down below, the visitor will find
a typical diamond mine tunnel wltn
every phase of diamond mining In
full operation. Miners drill for ore
and load it onto a cart by which
It is hauled to the compound. In
the compound, which is surrounded
by African native huts and enclosed
in barbed wire entanglements
(electrically charged to prevent es
cape) the diamond rock is pulver
ized and reduced with water to a
soupy condition. This fluid flows
over the agitator taMes where a
special grease catches the dia
monds.
The rough diamonds are sorted
and the pure gems of the Jewelry
trade separated from the borts,
which are used In industrial work
only.
* The visitor Is then "rocketed* to
the surface again, where he is
privileged to gaze upon almost a
million dollars* worth of rough
diamonds and gems, some of them
possessing histories extending back
for centuries. One of these Is the
Hotx diamond of 42 carats, which
once adorned the crown of the Em
peror Maximilian of Mexico. The
diamond was loaned to the exhlbi
itors by Its present owner, Ferdi
mind 11.. r «»r rtcIditie Is
known of its or ^ n »* 111*«»i«iili re
search tty Mr II..lit tins revenleil
that It was nrotmtilv found In the
diamond fields of ttraxil long he
fnre the dltciivery of the great
mines lu South Africa. The mad
Queen Charlotte fled with It to
Spain after Maximilian had been
killed during the revolt which end
ed hla reign. This ts the first
exhibition of the diamond In fifteen
years.
Famous Jewels Displayed.
The Houle necklnee, au antique
made of round diamonds mounted
without drilling. Is another of the
priceless pieces on display.
A rough, uncut diamond of the
enormous weight of 308 carats Is
one of the most valuable pieces In
the collection. *It Is planned later
to add to tha exhibit the famed
Nassak diamond, a pore white gem
of 78 carats, valued at a half a
million dollars and with a history
dating from the twelfth century.
This priceless collection Is housed
In a burglar-proof cabinet of spe
cial design, with glass sides an
inch thick. The gems are mounted
above two open safes, which are
controlled by a photoelectric cell. (
Patterned after the African diamond mines, miners operate air drills and wheel out “diamonds” m the
rough in the same manner as the Kaffir boys at Chicago’s World’s Fair. Cellri, ons of the Kaffir boys, is
shown operating the air drill while Albert Bruckner, SyMa Miller and Frances Manhattan look on.
Deputy Sheriff’s Brutality , Murdered
Negro Farmers as Revealed by I. L. D.
WELSH, La.—The full circumstaces
of official murder, flatly contradicting
the report of the coroner’s jury, were
revealed in an investigation just com
pleted by the International Labor De
fense into the death of three Negro
farmers, Louis Cormier, 65 and two
sons, Joseph 22, and Adam ^6 former
ly residents of Pine Island a'tiny agri
cultural community eight miles from
here.
The cormiers were killed on May 3
by Sheriff John Conner, and Deputy
D. E. Cole, who had come from their
offcie in Jennings parish seat of Jeff
erson Davis Parish, to evict the farm
ers from property should they were
purchasing from the Houssiere Land
Corporation.
Conner seized Louis Cormier, stat
ing he was under arrest. Cormier pro
tested since there was no basis for this
action. He was permitted by Conner
to join his two sons a short distance
away to talk to them.
Cole followed him and as soon as he
was with his sons ordered all three to
hold their hands up, leveling a pistol
at them. When they did so and ad
vanced owards him. Cole, becoming
excited ran backward firing as he do
so. Joseph dropped dead almost on
top of Cole, who had stumbled and
fallen.
At this unprovoked murder, Adam
attempted to defend himself and his
father from further attacks by grasp
ing a short whip stock. He was felled
by a bullet from Conner’s revolver, af
ter which Conner beat off Louis, Cor.
mier, who tried to prevent the sherifl
from using his gun on his boy and
killed him.
Connor and his deputy were exon,
erated by a coroner’s jury which me1
the day of the shooting. No testimonj
in the case was taken from a whit*
farmer who was an eye witness of tht
affair, official records reveal. This
farmer, Traviel Trahan, French-speak,
ing as were the dead men was seated
in the field where the killing tool
place and was not over 25 yards froir
the shooting.
Neglecting to record any testimonj
which may have been taken in th<
case, the official report of the coron
er’s jury states. “The said jury hav
ing been sworn, proceeded to enquire
of the witnesses, John Connor Sher
iff and D. E. Cole, Deputy Sheriff,
and the evidence being overwhelming
that the said officers, John Connor,
and D. E. Cole while acting in their
official capacity and in defense of
their life,” killed the men “and we ac
cordingly find that the killing was not
only justifiabl^but necessary.”
The night following the killing
which took place about 5:30 in the af
ternoon, a mob led by four persons
thought to have come from Welsh, set
out to lynch the living members of the
Cormier family. These consisted of
Mrs. Louis Cormier, about 65, who
was ill in bed Leonard Cormier, 31,
her son and brother of Adam and
Joseph, who was also confined to his
bed, together with his wife, Arline 34
and their two children Esther 5 and
Clovis 4.
Sentiment on the part of the white
neighbors of the dead men prevented
lynch action.
Having lived on the farm, which
they were purchasing for $9,000 at the
rate of $900 per year for three years
before their death, the Cormiers were
very friendly with the families about
them. Arrangements had been made
to aid the Negro family in planting
an plowing before work animals were
taken from them last winter undeir
the terms of a chattel mortgage held
by a local merchant. Both white and
Negro neighbors were to have taken
part in the planting, scheduled for the
day after the killing.
For several months before the kill
ing, neighbors had been aiding the

Cormiers. The family, destitute and
suffering for food, received no aid
from the Red Cross relief organiza
tion, it is reported. People connected
with the organization, white farmers
say are now circulating a report that
the Cormiers were “desperate char
acters” who had made holes in their
three-room cabin for the purpose of
shooting at passing whites. Knots in
the clapboards which form the outer
wall of the house have dropped out of
the unpainted boards. The holes
caused by this do not extend through
the inner wall of the residence.
Burial which took place the day af.
ter the killing, was in a little used
cenetery near the Southern Pacific
tracks. All three corpses were interred
in a single rough wodden box. Faces
of the corpses remained unwashed,
covered with dust and blood. Mrs.
Louis Cormier, who was allowed to se
the bodies, was refused an opportun
ity to remove the shoes of the corpses
or to wash their faces.
Fence posts, stolen from a neighbor
ing farmer, were driven into the

grave. An empty tin can, filthy and
greasy, was hung over the top of the
center post as a monument to the
dead.
Though much active protest is
aroused among the workers by the
killings and the burial officials took
no notice of it and contributed to the
record of atrocities. The health officer
of Jefferson Davis Parish is reported
to have found one of the Cormiers a
live when he visited the scene of the
shooting. Instead of rendering aid to
the wounded man he is quoted as say
ing: “This ‘Nigger’ will die before he
gets to town anyway, so load him into
the truck and get going.” The victim
died before reaching Welsh.
Forced to flee from the scene of tbe
killing, the remaining members of the
Cormier family are now residing at
Crowsley, La., with relatives. Mrs.
Louis Cormier is jlowly recovering
from the severe mental 3hock, though
she often cries for hours and is unable
to recall happenings accurately from
day to day. She has been in poor
health for many years.
Leonard Cormier, though now able
to sit up, is unable to walk a hundred
yards. His recovery is expected to be
very slow, if made at all.
Full an? sole authorization^as been
given the International Labor Defense
to take any legal ot public action
which may be possible in the case by
all the living members of fhe family
who expressed full confidence in the
I. L. D. being acquainted with its ef

Scottsboro boys. Organization of the
