NORTH CANTON, STARK COUNTY, OHIO, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 4, 1936. $2.00 PER YEAR. N. C. HIGH LOSES,IN CHAMPIONSHIP RACE Make More Field Goals Than Opponents But Fail To Score From Free Throw Line—Bill Schick Pronounced By Many Best Player In Tournament. LAST YEAR FOR 8 PLAYERS North Canton high school closed the basketball season when they dropped a consolation game to Jackson township in the county tournament. The local boys were forced out of the championship racei when Canton township staged a second half rally to win 34 to 30 on Friday night. With the exception of the last game the North Canton team played stellar ball. The teamwork, passing and shooting were splendid displays of basketball. .. The losses to Canton township and Jackson were due to ineffective work from the free throw line. Scoring one more field goal than Canton township and two more than Jackson proved their superiority on the floor. Bill Schick was awarded a forward position on both the all-county and all-tournament teams antl many of the coaches and writers pronounced him the best player in the tournament. Vernon .Conrad was given a berth on the second choice all-tournament five as a guard. North Canton.will lose the following players through graduation or the eight semester rule this year: Conrad, Evans, "Masline, Meyer, Neff, Schick, Snyder and :Stabler. imBREAKS Spruce and Pine Plantings Slop Wind From Damaging Property. Planting trees for windbreaks would furnish .needed protection for Ohio crops and farm buildings, and F. W. Dean, extension forester, Ohio State university, recommends a mixture of spruce and pine planted in rows for the purpose. The trees should be planted in three or four rows eight feet apart and there should be a space of 10 feet between trees in the rows. Norway spruce or Douglas fir should be planted on the side toward the prevailing winds, .which are from the west or southwest in Ohio. Austrian pine or red pine can be used for the second row and" whitt" or Scotch pine for the others. Good, stocky transplants which are four or :five years old will succeed best. Plantings in the rows should be staggered so there will be no openings through the windbreak. The inside row of trees should be at least 30 feet from the buildings as snow will bank on that side of the windbreak. The ground where trees are to be set* should 'be plowed and disced in the fall or .early in the .spring as possible. The trees should be cultivated for two years and vegetables can be grown between the trees while they are being cultivated. Plant the trees in holes that are large enough to permit the roots to spread out naturally. The soil should be tramped firmly to prevent it from drying out rapidly. Roots of trees to be transplanted should be kept wet by setting them in a bucket or tub containing a mixture of fine soil or water. Told Without Varnish by Ben Long Journalism LENTEN SERVICES Picture-Sermons Are Proving Popular In Bringing Out Truths. Zion Lutheran church is presenting a unique series of Lenten Meditations that are proving popular. Great pictures are great teachers, rich in spiritual truths. Their eloquent messages steal imperceptibly into the heart. They are wonderful preachers. After listening to last Wednesday's sermon on Hofmann's "Christ In Gethsemane," a worshipper said to the pastor, "I never knew before there was so much* in that picture. What a preacher Hofmann was." Exactly. Take from the art of the world the paintings which have had their inspiration directly or indirectly, from the life and words of Christ and you ■rob the earth of its most precious art ^possessions. The picture-sermon for Wednesday evening, March 4 is, "The Last Supper" (Da Vinci). A copy of this famous painting will be given to each person attending the JLenten service. Plan to attend. Bring friends and relatives. The Sun is a Member of the National Editorial Association A MAGAZINE for March contains letters from students in colleges. Twelve of the writers, eight males and four females, say they "want to become newspaper people after they receive their diplomas. The life is so fascinating." Well, that sounds a little more respectable than "newspaper persons." If they ask me I'll tell them that the "fascinating" part of the profession comes when the undertaker's assistant is bailing the embalming fluid out of the casket—or is it the corpse?—before the i-elatives, brother lodge members and honorary pallbearers are called in to take a last look at what the florist sent and the mortician prepared for the grave, the mausoleum or the crematory. Newspaper work, to do it properly, requires 24 hours every day, seven days in the week. The other fellow's job always looks easy. That there is a certain fascination about the work I do not deny, and I suppose had I my time to live over I would register in the same channel. This much I have learned: The greater the man, the greater the woman, the easiest are they to approach. It is the little snobs and the climbers with their silly mannerisms and utterances of froth newspaper writers hold in contempt. But of course if you hold a good job on a big newspaper you never see such people. o Crazy Rabbits HERE'S a question a reader of this column submitted to me on Monday: "Do rabbits go crazy in March ? If not, why do people say somebody is 'as mad as a March hare'?" Answer—The month has nothing to do with it. The phrase was originally "mad as a marsh hare." Marsh, not March. In the year 1542 the Dutch theologian Erasmus wrote: "Hares are wilder in marshes, from the absence of hedges and cover." Why Not°Try It? THE United States Public Health service got itself into the newspapers by performing an operation on a mosquito. Its salivary glands were removed to be used in the treatment of paresis, a form of insanity. It is reported e-j successful. This delicate operation should qualify the public health service for performing operations on the frenzied financiers, stock market thieves and foreign bond crooks General But-, ler denounced in his speech in the Community Building last week. I would also recommend such an operation on foreign debt cancellation advocates. For What It Is Worth WHEN people are happy they look their best. When they get into those "off" moods they are at their worst. Take plenty of exercise, but don't overdo it. That keeps your blocd coursing properly through your system, and blood is necessary to beauty. Don't worry over every little thing that bobs up, even if some of them are unpleasant. When you feel like frowning, smile instead. Frowns create wrinkles, smiles chase them away. Frowns give you a disgruntled appearance, while smiles make you look happy. If you have a will to be happy you can be happy, no matter what your tribulations may be. But if you allow vicissitudes to overcome your willpower you can not expect much happiness. Remember—will-power, happiness, beauty, or at least an improved facial expression. This is just my humble masculine opinion—take it for what it is worth, ladies. SPORTS WORLD BUSY IN ALL DEPARTMENTS Hoover League, Volleyball, Class Tournaments, X-Club Social and Stunts Show That March Is Not Interfering With Life In Community Building. TOURNAMENT ON MARCH 21 Volleyball Glenn Schiltz's volleyballers broke even with Brooklyn Branch Y. M. C. A. of Cleveland in a four-game series in the Northern Ohio Volleyball league, playing in North Canton on Saturday, February 29. Earlier in the season North Canton won 3 out of 5 games. Brooklyn put up a strong defense and won first and third games. North Canton's set up work was below par and perhaps responsible for not winning at least one other game. Colored Team Coming P. O. Cs are coming Wednesday evening, March 4, for a four-game series. This is a team from the colored branch and is considered the hardest hitting team in this section. North Canton hopes to cope with the P. O. C.'s attack with a strong defense and as equally strong offense.

Refused Renomination WRITES William Sinclair of Canton: "In a recent article in Told Without Varnish you said that Rutherford B. Hayes of Ohio was the second man to decline a renomination, the first being George Washington. Let me remind you what Owen D. Young said several years ago when asked to be a candidate: 'I am not a candidate for the Presidency. . . Nobody since George Washington can be said actually to have refused a renomination.'

BJLLYMfflCK Adds Another Honor, Basketball, To His Football Record.

Last Fall he made the all-county quarter on the football team by his consistent work. Grabbing two of the highest records in the world of sports is a feat to be proud of, and to his credit be it recorded it has not spoiled him.

Tlie Dramatic club states that reserved seats are going rapidly for their production of "Penrod" on Friday and Saturday nights of this week. In all the history of the Dramatic club never has their play received such evidence of . popularity in advance. In a few days all seats will have been reserved. In other words advance sales point to a "sell out" and everyone is urged to have their seats reserved as soon as possible. The Dramatic club also wishes to state that the play will begin promptly at 8:00 and any person coming in after the play has begun will not be seated until after the first act. The club feels that this method will prevent those seated from being disturbed. So please come early. bowlingIcores N. C. Merchants League W. L. Pet. N. C.

Prank Sherrard, Clerk of Com-, mon Pleas Courts, gives the following] f°n andf Mrs. Roy Frye^spoke about information from the Bill of Sale de iU~ '" " ~ *' "'"'" ' The Forest Army ACCORDING to several letters published in newspapers reaching North Canton "a number of boys who enlisted in the 'forest army' are wishing they were at home again." Evidently they don't like the solitude, the absence of bright lights, and the work. Perhaps it is just as well that they are not at home. Such lads need training, a sample of discipline, and the hardening that comes from consistent toil. They are too soft, too irresolute, and perhaps too weak- minded. By the time they have spent six months under army officers they will be of a different calliber—they may not even know themselves. They will at least be more useful citizens. o An Impudent Thief A CHICAGO policeman, while on duty, was robbed of his revolver. The officer did not discover his loss until he returned to the station house. This is what we call going a bit too far. Thievery is a despicable business in any case, but thieves should use discretion and confine their operations to civilians. It is neither fair nor cricket for them to pick on a policeman who is trying to do his duty and render him defenceless by taking his revolver away from him. Encouraged by his success in robbing this Chicago policeman, it will not surprise us at all to next hear that policemen while pursuing their duty in that city have been robbed of their loose change and possibly their uniforms. It isn't right. olTagepmsTons Those On the Roll Will Receive One Check Each Month, Not Two. Payments of old age pensions by the State of Ohio to the recipients of aid under the Aid for the Aged law will not be changed by the provisions of the national Social Security Act, according to Major M. J. Mc- Ginty in charge of the Stark county old age pension, office in the court house annex, Canton. "Ohio soon will get Federal funds to aid in the payment of pensions under the provisions of the Social Security act," Major McGinty said. "Some persons have the erroneous impression from reading provisions of the national law, providing that the Federal government will pay half the cost of pensions in the states, that in the future pensioners will each receive two checks each month, one from the state and the other from Wash ington. Such is not the case. Each pensioner will continue to receive one check each month from Columbus. "Tlie Federal government will furnish its share of the cost of pensions to the state, which must match the Federal grant dollar for dollar. All the money goes into a special fund, from which the pensions will be paid. "It will remain the duty of tlie State Division of Aid for the Aged to fix the amounts of pensions, as in the past, and the method of payment will be unchanged. "Indications are that the Federal grant of funds for pensions in Ohio will be made within the next few weeks, thus materially reducing the cost of pensions to the state treasury," sair Major McGinty. N. C. WWSCLllB Past Presidents Honored—History of Club Is Discussed. The Woman's club of Nortli Canton met on Monday afternoon in the Community Building. Mrs. G. W.

Every big town in America is over-populated. For many years there has been a dearth of employment, and we doubt if the time ever comes in the life of the present generation when every city man will have a job. There are too many stores and shops for the amount of business that is to be had, with the result that most business; THOM DURING DEBATE DEMANDS THE FACTS Questions Congressman Short of Missouri Concerning Burial of Hogs and Forces His Colleague To Admit That He "Had Not Seen, But Had Been Told." HEAPS FIRE ON RUMORS Spoci-il to The Hun Washington, March 4—The controversy in the lower branch of congress between Dewey Short of the Ozarks of Missouri and William R. men are living from hand to mouth! Thom of the 16th district of Ohio from one year's end to another On the farm a young man is sure of a comfortable living, and those who so desire can always find an outlet for their ingenuity and enthusiasm. There isn't a farm in the country that cannot be improved and made more comfortable and profitable. If there appears to be no way available for such improvement, then the young man can exercise his brain power anil find a way. The young lad who thinks that cannot be done has only to compare farm life and opportunities of today with those of fifty years ago. The contrast would startle him. There are worse places than a well- managed farm. o Happiness EXPERIMENTS made by a college professor indicate that girls of 21 are four per cent happier than young men of the same age. It appears that the girls are happy 68 per cent of the time and the boys only 64 per cent of the time. We haven't, and doubt that the professor has, the slightest idea that the test proves anything, but it would be interesting to check up on the same subjects a few years after they are out of college. the work of the year they presid Mrs. Cossaboom spoke of the early history of the club and charter members and read an article from The Sun, published at the time of the club's organization.

Meetings arc to be held in Jackson township hall. over the question of killing bogs and throwing them into the Mississippi river was undoubtedly a clean-cut victory for Thom. The man from Canton asserted that Congressman Short had stated on the floor, "I saw with my own eyes a thousand of them dumped into the Mississippi river." Thom told his fellow congressman that he "is tired, sick, and weary of unfortified statements going into the Congressional Record. Let us keep to the truth," asserted Thom. Origin of Controversy Boiled down, the actual facts aro* these as stated by Congressman Taber of New York in the Congressional Record: "The Agricultural adjustment act desired to help the real farmer struggling to hold his own, and not the "fellow who owned plantations or men of tremendous wealth." Congressman Dewey Short, Republican of Missouri, a stern critic at all times of the national administration,, got the floor and made several statements concerning the slaughter of hogs and their burial that aroused Thom to sternly denounce them as "pure fabrications." He questioned Short for about 10 minutes and finally pinned the Missourian down to the fact that he had not seen dead hogs thrown into the Mississippi river "but had been told such was the case." Thom was warmly applauded by his colleagues when he drew the statement from Short that he was quoting "hearsay." Quotes Dr. Mohler Tn his argument in which he denounced silly rumors and so-called "confidential statements" made by persons uninformed, Congressman Thom quoted Dr. Mohler, head of the Bureau of Animal Industry, Department of Agriculture, as saying that "the slaughter of 6,000,000 hogs bought by the government resulted in eighty-eight million pounds of pork being distributed to relief agencies throughout the nation. The smaller pigs were used for fertilizer purposes and grease." Tham's Statement Commenting further, Thom said: "There is entirely too much whispering and 'I've been told' statements floating around. When asked for actual facts such fellows fall back on the time-worn expression, 'Well, I heard it'. It isn't fair to make charges unless you know al least some of the facts in the case. But in some quarters absolute falsehoods have been circulated by persons opposed to the national administration. This is especially true in the. purchasing and slaying of hogs." , TO AID FARMERS Congressman Thom Asks Appropriation To Improve Soft Wheat. Washington, D. C, March 4— Through the efforts of Congressman William R. Thom there has been included in the agricultural appropriation bill now being considered in Congress an appropriation of $15,000 for the establishment and maintenance of a laboratory in the Ohio Experiment Station at Wooster, Ohio, for investigation of soft wheat, of which crop Ohio is the largest single producing .state. In view of the fact that Ohio is located in the center of the soft winter wheat belt, the investigations a.s to the quality of the 05 varieties of soft wheat will be of benefit to all soft wheat producers and it is hoped . will lead to increased returns for the farmers because of future improvement in their crop. The proposal for such a line of work was originally made by Dr. C. G. Williams, Director of the Ohio Experiment Station at Wooster.

HIGH LOSES,IN CHAMPIONSHIP RACE Make More Field Goals Than Opponents But Fail To Score From Free Throw Line—Bill Schick Pronounced By Many Best Player In Tournament. LAST YEAR FOR 8 PLAYERS North Canton high school closed the basketball season when they dropped a consolation game to Jackson township in the county tournament. The local boys were forced out of the championship racei when Canton township staged a second half rally to win 34 to 30 on Friday night. With the exception of the last game the North Canton team played stellar ball. The teamwork, passing and shooting were splendid displays of basketball. .. The losses to Canton township and Jackson were due to ineffective work from the free throw line. Scoring one more field goal than Canton township and two more than Jackson proved their superiority on the floor. Bill Schick was awarded a forward position on both the all-county and all-tournament teams antl many of the coaches and writers pronounced him the best player in the tournament. Vernon .Conrad was given a berth on the second choice all-tournament five as a guard. North Canton.will lose the following players through graduation or the eight semester rule this year: Conrad, Evans, "Masline, Meyer, Neff, Schick, Snyder and :Stabler. imBREAKS Spruce and Pine Plantings Slop Wind From Damaging Property. Planting trees for windbreaks would furnish .needed protection for Ohio crops and farm buildings, and F. W. Dean, extension forester, Ohio State university, recommends a mixture of spruce and pine planted in rows for the purpose. The trees should be planted in three or four rows eight feet apart and there should be a space of 10 feet between trees in the rows. Norway spruce or Douglas fir should be planted on the side toward the prevailing winds, .which are from the west or southwest in Ohio. Austrian pine or red pine can be used for the second row and" whitt" or Scotch pine for the others. Good, stocky transplants which are four or :five years old will succeed best. Plantings in the rows should be staggered so there will be no openings through the windbreak. The inside row of trees should be at least 30 feet from the buildings as snow will bank on that side of the windbreak. The ground where trees are to be set* should 'be plowed and disced in the fall or .early in the .spring as possible. The trees should be cultivated for two years and vegetables can be grown between the trees while they are being cultivated. Plant the trees in holes that are large enough to permit the roots to spread out naturally. The soil should be tramped firmly to prevent it from drying out rapidly. Roots of trees to be transplanted should be kept wet by setting them in a bucket or tub containing a mixture of fine soil or water. Told Without Varnish by Ben Long Journalism LENTEN SERVICES Picture-Sermons Are Proving Popular In Bringing Out Truths. Zion Lutheran church is presenting a unique series of Lenten Meditations that are proving popular. Great pictures are great teachers, rich in spiritual truths. Their eloquent messages steal imperceptibly into the heart. They are wonderful preachers. After listening to last Wednesday's sermon on Hofmann's "Christ In Gethsemane," a worshipper said to the pastor, "I never knew before there was so much* in that picture. What a preacher Hofmann was." Exactly. Take from the art of the world the paintings which have had their inspiration directly or indirectly, from the life and words of Christ and you ■rob the earth of its most precious art ^possessions. The picture-sermon for Wednesday evening, March 4 is, "The Last Supper" (Da Vinci). A copy of this famous painting will be given to each person attending the JLenten service. Plan to attend. Bring friends and relatives. The Sun is a Member of the National Editorial Association A MAGAZINE for March contains letters from students in colleges. Twelve of the writers, eight males and four females, say they "want to become newspaper people after they receive their diplomas. The life is so fascinating." Well, that sounds a little more respectable than "newspaper persons." If they ask me I'll tell them that the "fascinating" part of the profession comes when the undertaker's assistant is bailing the embalming fluid out of the casket—or is it the corpse?—before the i-elatives, brother lodge members and honorary pallbearers are called in to take a last look at what the florist sent and the mortician prepared for the grave, the mausoleum or the crematory. Newspaper work, to do it properly, requires 24 hours every day, seven days in the week. The other fellow's job always looks easy. That there is a certain fascination about the work I do not deny, and I suppose had I my time to live over I would register in the same channel. This much I have learned: The greater the man, the greater the woman, the easiest are they to approach. It is the little snobs and the climbers with their silly mannerisms and utterances of froth newspaper writers hold in contempt. But of course if you hold a good job on a big newspaper you never see such people. o Crazy Rabbits HERE'S a question a reader of this column submitted to me on Monday: "Do rabbits go crazy in March ? If not, why do people say somebody is 'as mad as a March hare'?" Answer—The month has nothing to do with it. The phrase was originally "mad as a marsh hare." Marsh, not March. In the year 1542 the Dutch theologian Erasmus wrote: "Hares are wilder in marshes, from the absence of hedges and cover." Why Not°Try It? THE United States Public Health service got itself into the newspapers by performing an operation on a mosquito. Its salivary glands were removed to be used in the treatment of paresis, a form of insanity. It is reported e-j successful. This delicate operation should qualify the public health service for performing operations on the frenzied financiers, stock market thieves and foreign bond crooks General But-, ler denounced in his speech in the Community Building last week. I would also recommend such an operation on foreign debt cancellation advocates. For What It Is Worth WHEN people are happy they look their best. When they get into those "off" moods they are at their worst. Take plenty of exercise, but don't overdo it. That keeps your blocd coursing properly through your system, and blood is necessary to beauty. Don't worry over every little thing that bobs up, even if some of them are unpleasant. When you feel like frowning, smile instead. Frowns create wrinkles, smiles chase them away. Frowns give you a disgruntled appearance, while smiles make you look happy. If you have a will to be happy you can be happy, no matter what your tribulations may be. But if you allow vicissitudes to overcome your willpower you can not expect much happiness. Remember—will-power, happiness, beauty, or at least an improved facial expression. This is just my humble masculine opinion—take it for what it is worth, ladies. SPORTS WORLD BUSY IN ALL DEPARTMENTS Hoover League, Volleyball, Class Tournaments, X-Club Social and Stunts Show That March Is Not Interfering With Life In Community Building. TOURNAMENT ON MARCH 21 Volleyball Glenn Schiltz's volleyballers broke even with Brooklyn Branch Y. M. C.

Refused Renomination WRITES William Sinclair of Canton: "In a recent article in Told Without Varnish you said that Rutherford B. Hayes of Ohio was the second man to decline a renomination, the first being George Washington. Let me remind you what Owen D.

The Dramatic club also wishes to state that the play will begin promptly at 8:00 and any person coming in after the play has begun will not be seated until after the first act. The club feels that this method will prevent those seated from being disturbed. So please come early. bowlingIcores N. C. Merchants League W. L. Pet. N. C.

Prank Sherrard, Clerk of Com-, mon Pleas Courts, gives the following] f°n andf Mrs. Roy Frye^spoke about information from the Bill of Sale de iU~ '" " ~ *' "'"'" ' The Forest Army ACCORDING to several letters published in newspapers reaching North Canton "a number of boys who enlisted in the 'forest army' are wishing they were at home again." Evidently they don't like the solitude, the absence of bright lights, and the work. Perhaps it is just as well that they are not at home. Such lads need training, a sample of discipline, and the hardening that comes from consistent toil. They are too soft, too irresolute, and perhaps too weak- minded. By the time they have spent six months under army officers they will be of a different calliber—they may not even know themselves. They will at least be more useful citizens. o An Impudent Thief A CHICAGO policeman, while on duty, was robbed of his revolver. The officer did not discover his loss until he returned to the station house. This is what we call going a bit too far. Thievery is a despicable business in any case, but thieves should use discretion and confine their operations to civilians. It is neither fair nor cricket for them to pick on a policeman who is trying to do his duty and render him defenceless by taking his revolver away from him. Encouraged by his success in robbing this Chicago policeman, it will not surprise us at all to next hear that policemen while pursuing their duty in that city have been robbed of their loose change and possibly their uniforms. It isn't right. olTagepmsTons Those On the Roll Will Receive One Check Each Month, Not Two. Payments of old age pensions by the State of Ohio to the recipients of aid under the Aid for the Aged law will not be changed by the provisions of the national Social Security Act, according to Major M. J. Mc- Ginty in charge of the Stark county old age pension, office in the court house annex, Canton. "Ohio soon will get Federal funds to aid in the payment of pensions under the provisions of the Social Security act," Major McGinty said. "Some persons have the erroneous impression from reading provisions of the national law, providing that the Federal government will pay half the cost of pensions in the states, that in the future pensioners will each receive two checks each month, one from the state and the other from Wash ington. Such is not the case. Each pensioner will continue to receive one check each month from Columbus. "Tlie Federal government will furnish its share of the cost of pensions to the state, which must match the Federal grant dollar for dollar. All the money goes into a special fund, from which the pensions will be paid. "It will remain the duty of tlie State Division of Aid for the Aged to fix the amounts of pensions, as in the past, and the method of payment will be unchanged. "Indications are that the Federal grant of funds for pensions in Ohio will be made within the next few weeks, thus materially reducing the cost of pensions to the state treasury," sair Major McGinty.

Every big town in America is over-populated. For many years there has been a dearth of employment, and we doubt if the time ever comes in the life of the present generation when every city man will have a job. There are too many stores and shops for the amount of business that is to be had, with the result that most business; THOM DURING DEBATE DEMANDS THE FACTS Questions Congressman Short of Missouri Concerning Burial of Hogs and Forces His Colleague To Admit That He "Had Not Seen, But Had Been Told." HEAPS FIRE ON RUMORS Spoci-il to The Hun Washington, March 4—The controversy in the lower branch of congress between Dewey Short of the Ozarks of Missouri and William R. men are living from hand to mouth! Thom of the 16th district of Ohio from one year's end to another On the farm a young man is sure of a comfortable living, and those who so desire can always find an outlet for their ingenuity and enthusiasm. There isn't a farm in the country that cannot be improved and made more comfortable and profitable. If there appears to be no way available for such improvement, then the young man can exercise his brain power anil find a way. The young lad who thinks that cannot be done has only to compare farm life and opportunities of today with those of fifty years ago. The contrast would startle him. There are worse places than a well- managed farm. o Happiness EXPERIMENTS made by a college professor indicate that girls of 21 are four per cent happier than young men of the same age. It appears that the girls are happy 68 per cent of the time and the boys only 64 per cent of the time.

Meetings arc to be held in Jackson township hall. over the question of killing bogs and throwing them into the Mississippi river was undoubtedly a clean-cut victory for Thom. The man from Canton asserted that Congressman Short had stated on the floor, "I saw with my own eyes a thousand of them dumped into the Mississippi river." Thom told his fellow congressman that he "is tired, sick, and weary of unfortified statements going into the Congressional Record. Let us keep to the truth," asserted Thom. Origin of Controversy Boiled down, the actual facts aro* these as stated by Congressman Taber of New York in the Congressional Record: "The Agricultural adjustment act desired to help the real farmer struggling to hold his own, and not the "fellow who owned plantations or men of tremendous wealth." Congressman Dewey Short, Republican of Missouri, a stern critic at all times of the national administration,, got the floor and made several statements concerning the slaughter of hogs and their burial that aroused Thom to sternly denounce them as "pure fabrications." He questioned Short for about 10 minutes and finally pinned the Missourian down to the fact that he had not seen dead hogs thrown into the Mississippi river "but had been told such was the case." Thom was warmly applauded by his colleagues when he drew the statement from Short that he was quoting "hearsay." Quotes Dr. Mohler Tn his argument in which he denounced silly rumors and so-called "confidential statements" made by persons uninformed, Congressman Thom quoted Dr. Mohler, head of the Bureau of Animal Industry, Department of Agriculture, as saying that "the slaughter of 6,000,000 hogs bought by the government resulted in eighty-eight million pounds of pork being distributed to relief agencies throughout the nation. The smaller pigs were used for fertilizer purposes and grease." Tham's Statement Commenting further, Thom said: "There is entirely too much whispering and 'I've been told' statements floating around. When asked for actual facts such fellows fall back on the time-worn expression, 'Well, I heard it'. It isn't fair to make charges unless you know al least some of the facts in the case. But in some quarters absolute falsehoods have been circulated by persons opposed to the national administration. This is especially true in the. purchasing and slaying of hogs." , TO AID FARMERS Congressman Thom Asks Appropriation To Improve Soft Wheat. Washington, D. C, March 4— Through the efforts of Congressman William R. Thom there has been included in the agricultural appropriation bill now being considered in Congress an appropriation of $15,000 for the establishment and maintenance of a laboratory in the Ohio Experiment Station at Wooster, Ohio, for investigation of soft wheat, of which crop Ohio is the largest single producing .state. In view of the fact that Ohio is located in the center of the soft winter wheat belt, the investigations a.s to the quality of the 05 varieties of soft wheat will be of benefit to all soft wheat producers and it is hoped . will lead to increased returns for the farmers because of future improvement in their crop. The proposal for such a line of work was originally made by Dr. C. G. Williams, Director of the Ohio Experiment Station at Wooster.
