JOHNSON ISSUES DEF
 TO FARMER WALLACE
Cow Milking Contest To Be Staged Between eSnatOr And Secretary

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.--Some time in the near future, Senator Magnus Johnson of Minnesota and Secretary Wallace of the depart ment of agriculture will sink thier foreheads into bovine Hanks, clamp their knees against milk pails and yank the milk out of pair of cows for the championship of official Washington.
 Johnson challenged Wallace to the duel recently while they were pos ing for a picture together. Wallace is the publisher of farm paper, but, in Johnson's opinion, the secretary has as much right to call himself a farmer as Rockefeller has to pose as a poor man.
 We farmers must stand togeth- er" Wallace said, as they posed for the sh-bomb.
 Flaw -haw!" Johnson Uttered re- strtinedly. 'Har-har! Just listen to him. We farmers" that's a poke"
 And so it is to be duel.
 Wallace hasn't robbed a COW in many years. Johnson, on the other hand, plundered few jersies every evening between speeches while campaigning for election.
 It is to be a dry-hand contest, first five gallons to win. Tail hobbies, leg-irons and automatic fly swatters are barred.
 The contest will take place at the farm of the depaartmeht of agricul- ture at Seltsville, Md The cows have not been interviewed.

 ventor Weeds In Chicago

NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-All, if not more, of the pomp and splendor of a wedding in New Yorks -four hun dred" was displayed today al the ceremony at which May Walker Rob- inson, daughter of the richest negress in the world, became the bride of Dr. Henry Gordon Jackson of Chi cago, at St, Phillips Episcopal church, in Harlem Nine thousand invita- tions had been sent for the wedding some to virtually every country in the world.
 The little church was crowded with guests, while on the sidewalks negro residents of the neighborhood stood in awestruck silence. Never in New York, and probably not in America, has there been such magnifieence at a negro wedding The church cere- mony, with accessories, was said to have cost S20.0O0.
 The bride is the daughter of Mrs. C- J. Walker. who earned her first money as laundress. and then made a million dollars by inventing a prep aration intended to take the kinks out of a negro's hair.
