THE establishment of the War Fl
nance Corporation to enable farmers to
hold their crops for gradual marketing
at fair price, reported by Senator
Gronna for the agricultural committee,
was objected to by several senators,
and the senate sustained the objec-

haps, that hogs fed on $50 corn are
selling for $3.50 hundred pounds, but
the farmers do.

ROOSEVELT WANTS TO KNON' HARDING
 LEAGUE POSITION
LRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire

NEWARK. N. l. Sept. 27.-Franf- lin D. Roosevelt Democratic vice presidential nominee. speaking in New ark and Jersey City tonight. chal- 'enged Senator Harding to take "a definite stand on the league Of na- tions issue
 Now that Elihu Root is home he said, how will Senator Harding recon cile the fact that Mir. Root. one of the leaders of his own party has assisted Tn the establishment of a permanent court Of justice which is an integral part of the league of nations?
 Does Senator Harding suppose that the 3S or 39 nations that have already joined the league are going to give il up to try another experiment with the Hague tribunal which has been fail ure for , years? Does he expect that Europe will scrap the league for him Europe is going through with this league and she wants us in it. as a guarantee that it will work.
 Mir. Roosevelt also pleaded for the election of Governor Cox as man ''who is not afraid to stand on his own legs: one willing to take respon- sibility and one who has a record for constructive achievement along ad- ministrative lines.'
 Speaking at a meeting of women in the East Orange armory this after noon. MT. Roosevelt repeated his charge that Republican opposition to the league of nations was part Of a plan to discredit President Wilson and defeat the Democrats in the presiden- t1aI election this fall.
 MT. Roosevelt asked all those in the audience who had read the covenant of the league Of nations to raise their hands He estimated that between 20 and 9 per cent of those present had acknowledged reading the instrument He expressed the opinion that if one were asked how many of those op- posed to the league had read it. the percentage would be Considerably less than 20 per cent"
 The formation of the league Of ma tions. he asserted. was similar in many respects to the formation of our own constitution. No one thought that the constitution was perfect when it was finally completed. many believing that important things were left out. while others believed that some things should never have been put in. but all agreed He said that ft was q step in the right direction No one believes the league Of nations is perfect. he said. and GOg- ern0r Cox and himself have no ob5ec- lions to reservations or interpretations which do not uUllffv its intent

reminded the audience what an asset the trail was to the state and how sin cerely 1t would be regretted if it were permitted to fall into disuse and be lost
 "The wondexful scenic features of the Apache trail will forever make it a natural wonder second only to the Grand canyon as one of the states greatest attribStes," the governor said. | He offered four possible solutions for the reconstruction and maintenance of | the trail from Phoenix to the Roose- welt dam.
 ''The Apache trail has been subject l of particular interest to me" he said. But the state never has taken over it's
 reconstruction because it never had the money to do the work. It is a ques-
 tion primarily for your own board of
 supervisors and they. until recently, never have shown any interest in it.
 There are four methods by which reconstruction of the Apache trail may be effected First by Maricopa coun-
 ty appropriating $30000O to be matched by federal aid Second, by Greenlee, Graham and Gila counties relinquish- ing a portion of their federal aid all lotment. Third, by the carrying of the
 highway commission bill to be voted on at the coming election which will
 make available considerable money at
 once. Fourth, by direct state ap- prOprlatlOn.
 The Land Grabbers
 How many of you people here appre- ciate what a wonderful heritage you received in public lands when Arizona i became a state. and which heritage
 is now being gobbled up in vast es tates under the leasing policy adopted bv the land department, against
 which, I. as your governor. am now
 engaged in big fight? Just a few figures to show the extent of this heritage:

Grandma disdained the first aids to

She acknowledged before the world

She attended church regularly. She
knew nothing of theaters, movies and

She danced the minuet with men

fled with the primrose dance, the hula
and the shimmie,
She wore high necks and long
sleeves, both trimmed with lace. She
would have considered the sash and
shoulder strap of today indecent.
Her skirt was very long and her toes
peeped In and out like tiny mice, wa
