CANVAS RANCHERS
TURN TO LETTUCE

Fred Burnett of Big Camas, was
in Mountain Home Thursday of this
week. Mr.. Burnett has been grow
ing head lettuce this year, and last
week shipped two carloads to market
from Fairfield. He reports that the
ranchers in that section have been
shipping this product for the past
month, getting 1928 crate for the
lettuce. AS an acre is supposed to
yield between three and four hun
dred crates, it would look as though
growing lettuce would be very prof
liable in that section.
Mr.. Burnett reports that the grain
grown on the dry farms in that sec
ton have yielded well this year. The
harvest is now on and the yields are
ranging from 35 to 65 bushels to the
: acre. Spring wheat is producing
about 80 bushels.

Take in the Hills and Some
Rough Roads

But I'VE started off to tell about
the ride Saturday. The managing
editor believed the new Buick was
worth story-a news story. Hence
we asked Mr.. Fuller to take us out
for spin, taking in a few hills and
some rough roads.
Going up Broad on the 1900 block
we found the coast clear, and breath
ing an apology to Chief Grubbs and
his motorcycle squad, Fuller gave
her the gas" and hit a 4O-mile pace
instanter. While maintaining that
rate of speed he gave full application
to the brakes and stopped in the
length of the car. OF course Weot-
ten and Boeckman changed from the
rear seat to the front, but that was
a small matter. We had seen that
obstacles in the road would mean no
hardship for this car.
On Summerville Hill the spedom-
eter showed between 80 and 35 miles
just before the Bon Air curve was
reached. The Herald men got what
they thought was a visit of a hap
pier land when Fuller, at that rate
of speed, headed directly on to
small car that was gasping for breath
at 6-mile per hour gait at the top
of the hill. We all shut our eyes
when the new Buick reached two feet
of the other car and awaited the
crash. But before we could realize
what had happened Fuller had ap-
piled the brakes and we stopped
about as near instantly as an auto
mobile could stop, even though it
had hit a brick wall. Changing
quickly into second gear, he darted
about the other car and we shot over
the hill.
Take Curves at Any Speed Desired
Cutting through from Walton Way
to the Washington Road, I'VE took
at the same speed that we
made on level ground, it appearing
that Fuller was trying to turn it
over to see if it could be doEo. On
the rough stretches the Buick per-
formed at high speed with scarcely a
jolt and went in and out of the ruts
as gracefully and smoothly as a
blacksnake racing around a furrowed
cotton field.

MELONS REPORT URGES TAX CUT
tContinued from Page One

tax was taken mot out of income but out of capital with cumulative con- fiscatory effect.
 To general business aspects MT. Mellon directed the comment that improvement from the 1921 depres- sion had been noted for a year. Sui ficient credit at reasonable rates had been available through banks, and he concluded that present activity presented the appearance of being sound and stable" The failure Of agricultural sections to share in the betterment, however. was noted. Federal Land Bank Operations.
 Federal land banks, the Secretary said, had loaned STATEHOOD during the year on land mortgages. Their total of loans outstanding was placed at s7Ss.70S,104. while farm land associations. through which their business is primarily conducted had increased in number during the fiscal year from 3.3SS to 4,53S.
 Taking up the liquor question, MT Mellon said that the nation which formerly had consumed 130.000. .00C gallons of whisky a year. had now in bonded warehouses only 35.00o.0Ot gallons altogether. Withdrawal from the supply during the past year was only 1,700.00 gallons. The treasury's request for a s2S,000,000 appropria- tion to increase the coast guard, the Secretary said, might assist to "cu1 down to a minimum" the operation of the rum smugglers who seek to replace the vanished home product with the spirits of other lands.
 Public building needs, in the coun- try at large and in Washington. the report said required "a carefully considered building program" The postponement of construction because of recent high costs in erection enter prises could not always be continued it added, with annual federal expen- ditures for rentals amornting tt s20.000.000 and increasing. Construc. tion planning that would eliminate any tendency to distribute buildings on a political basis was urged.
 The recently established system ot pensions for retirement of federal civil service employees was described as showing sufficient cash reserve to justify an increase in the rates paid to the dependents. The limiting of retirement benefit to persons over 70, likewise, MT. Mellon said, was un- necessary, and he advocated lower ing it to 68 years.

JAIL FOR GRIFFISI IN BERGDOLL CASE
American Gets q Months For Trying To Kidnap
 Draft Dodger

MOSBACH, Baden, Dec. 7.-(By As sociated Press .)--Corliss Hooven Grif~ ifs of Hamilton, O., was sentenced today to serve 21 months in prison for conspiring to kidnap Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, the American draft evader. Carl Sperber of Paris was sentenced to IS months; Faus- Gagarin, a Russian prince, to eight months, and Eugene Victor Nelson of Chicago to three months imprison- ment for their share in the plot, which the group attempted to carry out at Eberbach, in August.
 All the defendants will have sub tracted from their terms the period of their incarceration before the trials and Nelson was set free today, as the court considered his term had been served. Griffis was also fined two trillion marks.
 On pronouncing verdict the presid- ing judge admitted Griffis was actu- ated by patriotic motives which might be wholly condoned in principle be- cause of the manner in which the plot was attempted. The defendants did
 
 In his recommendation to the court earlier in the day the states attor- ney, Herr Nobel, asked that Griffis and Sperber be sentenced to three years each; Gagarin to one year. and Nelson to six months. Herr Zeiss, counsel for Bergdoll, then spoke, con- tending that Griffis was the leader of the conspiracy; that Sperber and Gagarin were merely acting under his orders and being paid for their ser vices. Therefore, he thought that Griffis should receive a heavier sen tence than the other men implicated.
 Herr Zeiss asserted that at first he was inclined to believe that the American Legion had aided in vari- ous ways in the venture but that later developments convinced him the legion had nothing to do with it. He said it was evident from information in his hands that a film company In the United States had given Grif- ifs financial backing. hoping for eX- elusive pictures of the Bergdoll cap ture and that Griffis was not in spired by patriotic motives, as he had asserted.
 Griffis' attorney, Herr Siefert, said he hoped the court would take into consideration the contempt in which Bergdoll was held by Americans be- cause of his draft evasion and his subsequent actions, and held ths the sooner Germany gets rid of Bergdoll the better for Germany" as Germany cannot afford to harbor forever within her borders a man of Bergdolrs type.'
 Pleading for leniency in behalf of the defendant, Herr Siefert recalled that the testimony of Griffis showed he was. inspired by patriotism in his plans to get Bergdoll back to the United States. He begged the court to bear in mind that Griffis had already spent four months in prison.
