$40 to over $50 per day for secretar-
les, men who fit here and there a
large part of the time, with all ex-
penses paid, in addition to their ex-
orbitant salaries. Are we joking? No,
indeed; this is no joking matter, with
farm produce selling at a loss. You
are correct; there are numerous other
officials, large office staffs, marketing
boa ards, etc, and these must all be
paid according to their Importance to
the organization. Secretaries are not
the only blue ribbon men on the vari-
Gus state farm bureau pay rolls.
These salaries vary, of course, in the
different states. depending on the
number of members and other govern
ing circumstances, including common

American Cows in Bavaria.
A cable from Berlin states that the
American milk cows which have been
distributed through Bavaria are de-

lean cows give about 20 quarters of
| milk daily after their first calf, which
| is double the yield of the German
| cows"

birthday last April. Strange to state
this centenarian, C. T. Templeton

was born and takes, so it is claimed
a lively interest in the farm work and
crops. He has lived to vote at Is

in the country has an older member

OPPAU DEAD TOTAL
 HOO; 4OOO HURT
Death List and Desoiaticn Greater in Mannheim-Ludkingshafen District Than in the Four-Year War
 French in Charge.

Mannheim, Germany. Sept. 23.-- Desolation and ruins alone remain of what was once the fiourishing town of Oppau. The town had 5000 residents. A majority of the men were engaged in the chemical works and were killed or wounded. Soldiers in French uni forms are clearing away the wreck age, picking up the dead and injured as after big battle.
 Eleven hundred dead and four thousand injured is the latest esti- mate of the disaster yesterday, which caused greater number of casual ties in the Mannheim -Ludingshafen district than the four years of war. The desolation around Oppau equals anything seen at Verdun or in Flan- ders over similar area Hundreds of persons are digging in the ruins for the bodies of relatives or friends, nearly thousand of which have been recovered. Thirty-six hours after the explosion from the gaping, funnel-like hole where the Badische works for merly stood, still may be heard moan ings and cries of the wounded while the soldiers search for possible sur vivors. Twenty-Five hundred of the injured are reported to have passed thru the hospitals of the surrounding cities.
 The vast crater is filling with water and it may never be known how many victims found a grave there. All nut Hated but still livinr animals crawl ing amidst the girders and blocks of concrete are being put out of their misery. The firemen and relief work CTS have not yet been able to discard their gas masks.
 The thirty-second army corps of the French army is in complete charge of the area and every avail able French medical officer had ar rived early this morning to cooperate with the German physicians and sur geons. The French and German Red Cross are cooperating and big Ger man sanitary train has brought large quantities of medical supplies. The German officials thanked General De Goutte for the prompt manner in which the French army came to the assistance of the victims.

Dead or Alive" Order Cuts Banditry 9S Per Cent in Five Months--Six Million Stolen in Year Pre-
 ceding; SSS,5SO Since.

Washington, Sept. 22.-MaiI rob. berries have been reduced 9S per cent since the postoffice department pro mulgated an order arming it's em- ployees and offering reward of $5,- 900 for mail robber dead or alive, ? Postmaster General Hays said today For the Year immediately preceding April 8, 1921, when the order became effective, the amount stolen from the mails was $6,346,407 with recovery of $3,286,017, Mir. Hays said. Since then the total amount stolen was $88,- 580 with recovery of $78,555, he added.
 Mails Will Be Protected.
 "The mails must be protected" Mir. Hays said, land we propose to pro- tect them, even if we have to resort to the methods of the old Wells-Fargo days"
 As an example of the manner in which the department proposes to deal with bandits, the postmaster general cited the attempt to rob a mail train near Fort Worth, Tex, September IA, when two bandits were shot dead by government officers.
 For his part in setting the trap that resulted in the death of the robbers, Alvin s. Page, assistant chief clerk of the railway mail service at Ft. Worth, has been ordered to Washing ton to receive a reward.
 Daring of Mail Official.
 Reports to the department showed that altho he had full knowledge that the bandits intended to kill him, Page volunteered to act as messenger on the train to be held up, and went thru with his part until the bandit who had entered the car and held him up was shot dead by officers, concealed in the car. He also participated in the killing of the second bandit who was to receive the mail, as it was thrown from the train. A large sum in cur rency was carried on the train and the bandits had advance information of the fact. Page, however, was tipped off to the plans of the robbers and was able to lay his plans accordingly,
