MILLIONS ARE FILCHED
FROM TEXANS BY OIL
FRAUDS, NEW is TOLD

Washington, April 6. - Oil stock
promoters operating in the. state Of
Texas during the last five years have
filched more than $100,0O0,OO0 from
the public, Postmaster General New
was advised Friday by John H. Ed
wards, solicitor of the post Office de-
partment, and Chief Postal Inspector
Simmons, who are in Fort Worth CO.
operating with the department of
justice in the prosecution of mail
fraud cases involving oil promoters.
In making public the report, the
postmaster general also declared the
post Office department intended to
move in the most vigorous and per-
sistent manner possible for the en-
fOrcement of both the criminal law
and the fraud order statutes against
the fraudulent use of the mails, not
only in the sale of fraudulent oil
stocks but al other cases involving
fraud in the mails.
Mr.. New said the government had
been appealed to by disiilusioned
stockholders to stop the oil stock
frauds, after wildcat promoters" had
escaped prosecution by state author
tiles. Post office inspectors, he added,
have been working since last summer
on more than 200 cases, many of
which have already gone to the grand
jury now IN session at Fort Worth.

NO FREE SPEECH in
WATERBURY, CONN.

Three times in one month Carlo
Tresca, anti-fascisti leader and editor
of II Martello, a New York Italian
weekly, has been prevented from
speaking in Waterbury, Conn, be-
cause the Superintendent of Police
will not allow him 'to attack friend
ly government recognized by the I'm
tied Statees.'
Tresca was booked for the third
time to speak before a record audience
under the joint auspices Of a local
Italian Defense Committee and the
American Civil Liberties Union, Sun
day, March 25th, despite the fact that
twice already he had been prevented
from speaking at Waterbury When
he arrived at the hall where he was
to deliver his address he found the
doorway blocked by policemen who
refused to let him pass. The meeting
was addressed by other speakers.
A $4,000 damage suit for unlawful
arrest against the Superintendent of
Police, based on forcible interference
with Tresca's speaking at the second
meeting, has been filed. The failure
of the police to take Tresca into Gus
tOdy indicates, in the opinion of the
attorneys for the Civil Liberties I'm
ion, that the police know they have no
legal case.

cause the big men want to divide the

ROOSEVELT FARMERS
ATTEND HOG SCHOOL
PROF. MILLIN DELIVERS IN
STRUCTIVE LECTURES ON THE
CARE AND FEEDING AND
MARKETING OF HOGS IN MON
TANA.

One hundred and ten farmers inter-
ested in hog production, attended the
five hog schools that were conducted
this last week in Roosevelt County.
Mr.. Millin, the Livestock specialist,
confined his remarks to the hog mar
ket situation, the chance this western
country has compared with other
countries in the hog raising game, the
care of brood SOW before narrowing,
the care of the young pig and diseases
and the economical use of northern
Montana feeds. In regard to the mar
ket situation he believes that the IL
percent additional brood sows kept
over this last year will make the price
of hogs this year go below the level
of last year. He believes further that
the European buying power of surplus
hogs is lower than last year. lie also
believes that the fact that our land is
cheap and that our corn is used as a
supplement for summer fallOw which
insures us a cash crop the following
year will give US some revenue off of
some very cheap feed, and that we

can compete with corn belt farmers
on a western market which has been
running from a cent to two cents a
pound higher and where our frelghC
rate is smaller.
He emphasized that the proper iced
should be given the brood sows before
narrowing and the proper amount I
exercise given them also. He stated
that the cause of the sows eating
their young pigs was a requirement
for bone and muscle building protein
in the foods and if the proper food
was given such condition would not
happen. When sows nave hairless
pigs, he stated they should be fed po-
tassium iodine. He gave the proven
tative for the disease of thumps
which was the feeding of proper food
for the sow and plenty of exercise Tor
the young pig. He stated that under
a certain age the pig should have a
right amount of food and exercise.

The proceeding occupied less than
eight minutes in all and were received
in tense silence by the little audience
and without any evidence of a demon

EVERYBODY W H0
HAS AN AUTO IS
GOING SOMEWHERE;
Long Trips Seem to
Be Vogue All Over
u. S.

There is n greater restlessness on
the part of motorists throughout
America this summer than ever be-
fore in history, according to officials
of the Automobile Club of Southern
California. .....
Where are these restless motorists
going, what is their aim, and why
are they moving about so much? +?
This query has been pretty well
answered in data compiled at the
club offices.
One reason for q nationwide
splurge among auto owners, and this
applies in a large sense to Southern
California, is the improved condi-
tion Of roads leading across the con-
tinent to the west, and leading to
the national parks of the country.
On an average of so cars per day
are entering California at Needles
over the National Old Trails route.
These cars bring an average of 200
visitors into this part of the state
every day.
All Roads Full
The Banlhead, the Lincoln high
way and other routes are delivering
their quota daily. On the other
hand, scores of motoring parties are
leaving Southern California, since
the schools have been dismissed, for
the Yellowstone, Glacier and Zion
Canyon districts. 1t is a wear of
long-distance travelling, according to
auto club official statistics.
The weather is now warm on the
southern trans-continental high
ways, and motoring parties are ad-
vised to travel i'll the cool of the
evening and at night if they wish
to find the greatest degree of com
fort. The Santa Fe trail is in bet
ter condition for travel this year
than it has ever been, particularly
west of Denver. The Ration Pass
has been widened and graveled and
new road has been constructed,
all graveled between Santa Fe and
Las Vegas, while there are many
miles of pavement north and south
of the city OF Albuquerque.
AL Head for Southern California
One of the clubs cars has just
completed tri ip over the coastwise
Pacific highway from Southern
California to Vancouver. Travel is
very heavy over this route, going
both ways. Thousands of morotirts
are coming southwark from the
northwestern part of the United
States this summer, as well as from
Montana and Idaho. 1t is estimated
that, no matter what road eastern
auto parties take toward the west,
they will visit Southern California
at some time durin gtheir soiourn

winter to every nook and Granny of
America.
