WILLIAM H|RTH
AGAINST STATE
FARM BLOC

COLUMBIA, Mo-, Dec. The
Missouri farmers must look to con-
gress, not the next Missouri legislat-
ure, for relief from their economic
ills, according to William Hirth, head
of the Missouri Farmers Associa-
tion.
Farm blocs in the next legislature :?
No. Legislation for farmers as a
< class?
No.
Broadly speaking" said Mr.. Hirth,
"this is everybody's country. | ann
opposed to class groups, and legisla-
tion designed merely to help cer-
tain few"
Hirth declared that his organiza-
tion, if it desired, could control more
than half the members of the next
house of representatives. He added
that he would have nothing to do with
organizing farm bloc, and that GER
cain persons "are running things in
the ground He said, however, his
organization might take an interest
in the selection of speaker Of the next
house and president pro TEN. Of the
senate.
In explaining why the next legisla-
ture has nothing to offer the farmer,
Hirth declared that the legislature of
1921 enacted a sufficient legislative
program for the farmers, particularly
the laws opening the grain exchanges
and the stockyards to farmers or
Plantations.
Speaking of appropriations for the
university and state schools, Hirth
said he favored ample financial sup
port for them all.
The 50-niuion-dollar road law,
which as purported leader Of the
"dirt road" advocates, Hirth opposed
at the special session of the legis-
lature in 1921, needs virtually no
change, he said. He explained that
, the routes of the state roads have
been designated, and should not be
tampered with. But he added he
might oppose the issuance of any
more road bonds. His reason is that
the bonds require too much interest.
But he showed his unfamiliarity with
the way the state highway commission
and the fund commission are selling
the road bonds, so as to mature few
years after issue, reducing to min
imRm the interest to be paid or them.
One Of the big fights before the
..L - I'D |. 7
attempt to amend the road law so
that larger installments of bands may
be sold probably 10 million dollars
each year. The law now permits the
sale Of 10 million this, year, and only
million each succeeding year. The
result is that construction work may
be slowed up next year because the
commission will have only limited a.
mount Of money available.

So, 500 Womer's Rally Planned
BY Corners to Boost Hearst
1000 To Be Invited to Cedney Farms Dinner to
Counterfeit Disastrous Effect of Recent Opposi-
ton Meeting; Unauthorized, Say Party Leaders

William J. Corners is working up a
women's luncheon to boost the cause of
William Randolph Hearst in Westches-
ter County, it was learned yesterday
One thousand women will be invited to
attend a rally at the Gedney Farms
Hotel, in White Plains, on Saturday, to
counteract the disastrous effect of the
antilles rst demonstration of the Wom
ems Democratic organization at the
Biltmore Country Club on June 20.
The utmost secrecy attends the plans
for the affair, but it is said that the
luncheon will be staged with sufficient
splendor to impress the public, and
that Mr.. Corners has $1,000 to spend
on this particular angle of the cause.
1t is no secret that the resolution at
lacking Hearst passed by the women
at the Biltmore Club luncheon was a
serious blow to the publishers ambi
ton, as it was the first plain speaking
on the part of members of the regular
Democratic organization. The resolu-
ton declared that the women did not
favor, and would not support, any can
didate for Governor or United States
Senator who had attacke2 the League
of Nations, Woodrow Wilson or Gov
ernor Alfred E. Smith. Since then the
women of Rockland and Duchess
counties, at their regular meetings,
have followed the example of the
women Of Westchester and have made
it plain that they will not stand for
the editor politician. In New York City

the women opposed to Hearst have
taken headquarters at 100 East Fifty
ninth Street, which will be opened to-
day.
The affair scheduled for Saturday in
White Plains will be a demon stration
of the feeling of the frank and file"
of the Democratic women for Mr.
Hearst, it is said by its hackers, but
the officials of the Women's Dem ocratic
Organization of Westminster denied
last night that they are in any way
interested in it. Miss M. L. Gross,
secretary of the county organization,
said that a meeting of Dem ocratic
women may take place, but that it will
not be representative of the organi-
cation.
amy group of women can have a
luncheon to sing Mr.. Hearst's praises,
but they can't say that they are the
Women's Democratic Organization"
she said. II understand that Mr.. Con-
ners says the luncheon at the Bilt-
more Club was g gathering of million
aires who rolled over in their limou-
snes and was not representative of
the party. All have to say to that is
that l went in Ford. and not a
limousine. And the women at our
luncheon paid for their tickets, which
is more than the guests at Mr.. Con-
ners's party will do. Mrs. Elizabeth
Smith Edwards is getting up the
luncheon, l understand. but she does
not live in estchester@, County.
don't believe Mr.. Corners could get a
representative Westchester woman to
preside over his affair"

He said that the economic rehabili-

as the political phases of its destiny
were settled.

merchandise annually. About $2,000,-
900 of this amount comes from the

the neighborhood of 100000, of
which about 100000 goes to the United
States in the form Of sacramental

"There is heavy demand for Amer
lean motor vehicles. At present there
are about 900 automobiles in the Holy

American manufacture

things: Kerosene, agricultural imple-

He said that the Standard Oil Com
pany was active there prospecting for
oil, but that he was not at liberty to

Last year John Mccormack, the

suit He bought farm up in Norton,

as he had farm he should put herd
of dairy cattle on it. So he did. Some
time later, it seems, the cows began
to pail on him, and as long as they were
no longer necessary to his happiness
he thought he might as we'll sell them.
So he did.
That was the beginning of the
trouble. Yesterday suit for $4,000 was
brought against Mccormack in the City
Court by one H. Meyer through Mark
Goldberg, of 3o2 Broadway. as his at
torney, alleging fraud and misrepre-
sentation. 1t seems that in the sale
of the cattle last September number
Of them were purchased by Mr.. Meyer.
Now he finds, he says, that five of them
are not all they were supposed to
be. One, he says, is, tubercular and a
couple of them, sold as breeders, were
not fit for that use. All this displeases
Mr. Meyer very much. Therefore the

Surrogate Foley Assails
Notaries Who Draft Wills
Practice Often Results in Fail
ure of Carelessly Drawn Docu-
rnents to Probate, He Says

Surrogate James A. Foley yesterday
denounced the practice OF notaries
public in drawing wills disposing of
small estates.
The occasion attended the handing
down Ct a decision on the contested
will of John Barry, who left an estate
of $1,000. Barry left 81 each to his
two sons ard daughter. The residue
was bequeathed to two grandchildren.
His sons and his daughter contested
the will, alleging that their father was
mentally incomp and that he was
unduly Influenced in the execution of
the will.
Surrogate Foley said:
"The difficulties which arise here are
occasioned solely by the pernicious
practice of notaries public who, in ig-
norance of law. draft wills and care
lessly supervise their execution. In
many cases the wills fail to probate
entirely. In most cases, as here, the
DISPUTE rests on some informally
arising upon the execution of the will"
