SCHOOL NOT PRACTICAL
FOR FOLKS WHO WORK

LOUISVILLE, KY, Jan. H.-Declaring
pupils of public schools from the sixth
grade on up through the high school,
and even the colleges, derive no eco
nomic benefit from their instruction, Miss
Edith Campbell, of Cincinnati, startled
the conference of the National Child La
Dor committee here today. She drew her
conclusion from what she explained were
the imperfect statistics gained in the in
qUiry conducted by the use of the
Schmid-Lapp fund, of which she is di-
rector, in Cincinnati She cited numer-
Gus instances of college girls who were
compelled to work for a smaller wage
than women with little or no schooling.
Miss Campbells suggestion that the ed
ucational system must be reorganized to
be of practical use to the children who
have early to begin making their living,
was taken up.

Chicago, who declared that the schools
Of the future must provide income-yield-
ing work, so that those who wish to help
their parents or those who must help
their parents, can do so and still not be
denied the education that is their birth
right.

EWlNG-ASWELL FORCES
WILL SUPPORT HALL

NEW ORLEANS, La, Jan. 2o.-Judga
Luther E. Hall, candidate of the Coco
Government league for the Democratic
nomination for governor, whose plurali-
ty over John T. Michel, candidate of
the regular Democracy" in Tuesday s
election was approximately 5000 votes,
will enter the second primary with the
active support of the leaders Of the Ew-
ing-Aswell forces. Col. Robert Ewing,
national Democratic committeeman and
leader Of the independent faction whose
candidate, Prof. James b. Aswell, polled
more than 10000 votes Tuesday, issued
an appeal today to "all righteous, all
moral. all public-spirited citizens to
join hands in the fight against Michel.
Aswells state chairman, Judge Charles
V. Porter, also publicly announced him
self for Judge Hall.
There was much speculation today as
to the attitude of Governor Sanders and
his followers toward Michel as a result
of the knitting" the governor received
at the hands OF the regulars" in this
city. Governor Sanders will enter the
second primary against Congressman
Broussard for the United States senate
to succeed Sentor Thornton with about
10000 votes behind the latter.
Street rumors that both Michel and
Sanders would withdraw were denied
today and preparations are already In
progress at their headquarters to wage
vigorous campaigns from now until
February 81, the date Of the second pri-
mary.
Senator Foster was defeated for re-
nomination by Congressman Ransdell
by about 1000 majority.

DEMOCRAT TARIFF BILL
PASSAGE Is PREDICTED

WASHINGTON. Jan. 26.-Speedy &C
ton on the steel and iron tariff revis-
ion bill was foreshadowed in the house
today when Chairman Underwood, OF
the ways and means committee called
the measure up for the opening debate
Passage of the bill tomorrow night
or Monday is expected by the Demo-
cratic leaders.
Representative Palmer, of Pennsyl-
vania, in opening the debate for the
Democrats, said he was confident the
bill would become a law. He declared
the bill approached so closely to the
terms Of the Cummins iron and steel
amendment which the senate added to
the cotton bin in the extra session
last summer, to merit the support Of
all those who supported the Cummins
schedule.
THAT amendment presumably en-
hcdied the ideas of the only section OF
the Republican party to whom the pub
lie can look for assistance toward any
relief from tariff taxation" said Mr..
Palmer.

Afford RESENTENCED
TO HANG IN MACON

MACON, Ga, Jan. 26.-E. B. Afford
was resentenced to hang yesterday by
Judge FELTON,, naming the date Of the
execution February q. His attorney,
John r. Cooper, appeared and made q
formal motion. for a stay Of his sem
tence on the grounds that he was in
sane and should be adjudged by a jury.
Judge FELTON, declined to entertain the
motion and declared that Afford be ex-
ecuted on Friday. February o, between
the hours of 10 and 2. and that the exc
cution be private. His attorney gave
notice that he would appeal the case
to the United States supp eme court
This will probably prevent the execu-
ton for another year at least.
w. B. Walker also apI cared TO be re-
sentenced, but owing to the absence of
his attorney, John p. Ross, the date Of
naming the execution was postponed
until Monday, February 5.
1t is understood that Walkers case
win be carried before the prison COM
mission or to the governor for COM
mutation. Both men have been con-
fined in jail over a year and have been
denied a new trial by the state supreme
court.
Afford shot to death his wife and
Inother-in-law one night while in a
drunken frenzy and Walker is alleged
to have poured gasoline on his wife
and then set IRE to her.

so CALLED MONEY TRUST
INVESTIGATION URGED

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-With Samuel
Untermyer as witness, the house com
mittee on rules today resumed its hear
ings on the Lindbergh resolution FOR
special inquiry into the money trust"
Mr.. Untermyer said he was satisfied
congress could not legislate intelligently
with respect to trusts or to monetary
system until the question OF concentra-
ton of the money power was thor
oughly understood.
For that reason, he said, he favored
the proposed investigation provided 1t
was conducted in a conservative, sys-
tematic, painstal5ing, non-partisan spirit
with the sole object Of exposing the
weaknesses and abuses Of the system and
as the basis for constructive legislation"
Mr. Untermyer stated that there was
no such thing as money trust" in the
sense that the word trust" is applied
to illegal combinations. He believed,
however, the proposed investigation
would establish that the present finan-
cial condition is due to the concentra-
ton of funds of great corporations In

UNUSUAL 1NTEREsr IN HOGS

During a visit to one of the large
western state fairs this fall not
ed with much interest the features
which attracted the most attention
among farmers and their wives.
The livestock exhibits were always
surrounded by crowds. but of these
more interest seemed to center
in the hogs than anything else.
The hog pens were always the
center of intense interest, and so
great were the crowds that at
times it was almost impossible to
pass through the aisles. Much of
this interest may be attributed to
the fact that the high prices for
hogs which have ruled for the past
year or SO, make these animals
the biggest money makers on the
farm. One farmer said to me:
81 have always raised hogs, but
never paid much attention to
breeds before. Just raised a good
average animal. fed corn mostly,
took what the market offered and
let it go at that but now, when I
see a rat pig bringing from SIS to
$40 and even more, 1 have deter
mined to improve my breeds. l
find it costs no more to feed a hog
that will produce $40 than it does
one that sells for SIS, and there
fore 1 am down here at the fair
ready to invest a few hundred dol
lars in good breeding stock"
1t would be intere sting to know
whether the sales of high-class
stock have been larger this year
than usual, but judging from the
intense interest taken by buyers
at this particular fair which was
attended by as many as $4,000
farmers in a single day, 1 should
say that the sales were larger
than they have been for many
years.-B. r. l..
