IOWA FARMER TELLS
OF BAD CONDITION
THE OTHER FELLOWS VIEW
Where Corn Is King.
(From Spencer, Iowa, Review

Spencer, Iowa.
December Is, 1925.
We would prefer to write wholly on
the one absorbing subject Of the corn
belt farmers past and present troubles
but were compelled to subordinate the
more vital one; in the interest of the
farmer. But we thought this Sun
day eve that maybe you might toler-
ate an eleventh hour suggestion
touching on this subject. Briefly,
here it is: There's very little hope
for relief, and the reasons are varied,
vet are not hard to discover once you
dare to lift the curtain and peer be-
hind the scenes to discover who's
there, and the interest they have in
being there, and the part they are
paying in this tragedy, for tragedy it
Is. And as this pay is continuous,
going on day and night with thrills
aplenty the receipts are bound to be
good; and as the parties who prepar-
ed this and are putting it on are now
rich, and fast becoming richer, we
would say to you who are in deaths
agonies, grabbing at mere straws to
keep yourself afoat, just stop, look
and listen. Do you see anything =?
Do YOU hear anything? You un-
doubtedly hear that this country
never. was more prosperous, and this
is true, but you don't see it. That's

REHEARING FOR
ANITA WHITNEY

Charlotte Anita Whitney, Califor-
MIA civic leader, convicted and sent
enced to The penitentiary under the
criminal syndicalist law of that state,
will be given a rehearing by the Su
preme Court of the United States.
The announcement of this action,
made on December Is, is hailed with
delight by the friends of free speech
who, for the past several weeks, have
been waging a strenuous nationwide
battle to prevent Miss Whitney from
entering San Quentin prison. The Su-
preme Court recently refused to take
jurisdiction in this case, and the
campaign of the then organized Anita
Whitney Committee was directed to-
ward securing pardon from Gov
ernor Richardson. When it became
obvious that the governor would not
yield, the efforts of the committee
were shifted toward obtaining a re-
hearing from the supreme court.
These efforts have now succeeded. In
the new hearing, according to John
Francis Neylan of San Francisco.
4 Miss Whitney's chief counsel, the con-
stitutionality of the California Grim
inal syndicalism laws will be consid-
cred. The Anita Whitney Committee
will suspend activities until the new
/ hearing, on March Is. 1t will not
disband, however. This action of the
supreme courts, coming as it does
| Immediately after, Governor Smith:
pardoning Benjamin Gitlcw, has
"heartened all friends of free speech
as much as any single event of the
past five years" in the opinion o.
the American Civil Liberties Unior
of New York. The Union has beer
vigorously active in the Whitney cam
paign.

HEAD OF FARMER-LABOR
UNION SAYS IT FEARS
DEMOCRATIC DEAL.

TEXARKANA, Tex, Dec. SO.-The
national convention of the Farm-La-
Dor Union of America, preceded by
similar action by the Texas state con-
vention, has withdrawn from the farm
labor political conference of Texas,
Oklahoma and Arkansas. At the
same time many of the delegates with
out involving the organization re-
sponded to the call of F. R. Meitzen,
former editor of the Farm-Labor
Union News to launch the labor party
of Texas. Oklahoma and Arkansas
are expected to follow suit before the
spring campaigns.
The Farm-Labor Union president,
w: w. Fitzwater, declares that the
Withdrawal from political action was
aimed chiefly at the deals in the. dem
ocratic party and was not to be con-
strued as a refusal of the organized
working farmers to cooperate with
the city workers economically.

SOVIET RUSSIA
ORDERS 10000
FORD TRACTORS
SHIPMENTS TO BE MADE TO
BLACK SEA PORTS

New York, Dec. 29.-An order for
10000 tractors, win equipment, plows,
and spare parts fer Soviet Russia, ag-
gregating in value about $4,000, 900,
was placed with Ford Motor company
by the Amtorg Trading corpora
ton, purchasing and selling agents in
this country for various Soviet indus
trial and commercial organizations.
Shipments of he Soviet Black Sea
ports of Noryorossick and Odessa will
be made during the months of Deem
Der and January, so that the tractors
will be delivered to the agricultural
districts in time for the next spring
field worn Distributing and repair
stations have been established in con-
venient centers thruout the Soviet
Union, as we'll as special schools
where the peasants are instructed in
the use Of the tractor which has be-
come known in rural Russia only in
the past few years as a result of an
extensive government campaign to in
troduce modern methods cf agricul-
ture.
AS a part of the program for the
modeqnization of agriculture in the
Soviet Union, importation of tractors
on an approachable scale began only
in the latter par of the year 1925
Since then tractor imports have beer
constantly increasing. With the
10000 tractors now purchased the
number of American tractors export
ed into the Soviet Union by the Am
tory Trading corporation during the
calender year 1925 will be brot up t.
over 10000.
The present order, which is the
largest single order for tractors evel
placed, is the first of a series Of or.
ders for tractors and other agricul
tural machinery which are provided
by the Soviet import program for the
fiscal year 1925-1926.
In this connection it. may b,
pointed out that during the fiscal yea
( 1924-1925, ended Sept. 80, 1925, tn,

States and the Soviet Union amount
ed to $103,O0O,O0O of which SS7, 900,

FARM CRISIS HAS
COOLIDGE RULE
BADLY WORRIED

Washington, d. G., Jan. 1.-The eff
fort to retain the farmers for support
of the Coolidge administration is tax
ing the form of a series of meetings
arranged by Secretary of Agriculture
Jardine for the month Of January
Jardine will hold conferences with
representatives of different groups
thruout the month. On January q
he will speak to an agricultural meet
ing at Champaign, Ill. But this Is
only one of a whole series Of meetings
beginning today at Des Moines, Iowa,
in the center of the district most al
fected by the recent wave of bank
ruptcies.
Political Treat
The so-called "farm-bloc" is trying
to have the government actually ham
die the crop yields by terming 1t a
surplus that should be exported or
otherwise disposed of by the all-wise
government, which either must sell II
on the world market at enough to
avoid loss, or charge any loss back
by an excise tax on that part Of the
product consumed in the domestic
market.
The pressure upon the administra,
ton is taking the form of a threat
to withdraw support from the Cool.
idge administration.
Signs of Worry
That the Coolidge administration i;
disturbed by the threat, is shown BY
the suggestion of Coolidge to estab
/ lish a division in the agricultural de,
partment to help cooperative mark
citing. This seems certain to be pass
ed by congress. The Surplus com
mission" may be combined with this
anticipated division.
Another symptom of fear by thu
administration is shown in Coolidge'
instructions yesterday to Secretar!
Jardine and Secretary Hoover, to Civ
I government aid if possible to one o
the large cooperative societies o
California. Which one of these well
known monopolies known as cooper
atives is affected, was not revealed.

ALBRARY LETTER

Dear Paonle of Sheridan County:
Do Won know that you have the
hast library of its size in the state?
Won are to be congratulated upon
the ouaIitv of the books found on its
shelves Not only is the fiction well
selected, but there are excellent
books of interest to people OF all
vocations and avocatlons.
The report given below IS for the
month of December, but it is rep
resentative one. From it you can
get an idea of the popularity CT your
library. o-
Total Book Circulation .------------- 1181

AS the report indicates fiction has
a larger circulation than the non-hc-
ton. This is true of the circulation
of all Libraries and is not a fact to
be deplored. People are always in
terested in life and in fiction they
find a means of satisfying that inter
est. But every Librarian has ambi-
lions to increase the circulation of the
non-fctional books. 1t is the candid
opoinion Of this one that the average
/ library patron realizes that he car
get books for recreation from the IL
brary, but does not stop to think
! that there he can find books which
will help him raising bees, IN trying
to grow fat or to grow thin, IN has
study of the radio, in building hot
bed, in tanning furs, in solving any
number Of every day problems. The
library has such information in books
and in pamphlets and bulletins sent
cnt from reliable sources. In future
library letters, I we'll tell you about
some of the materials to be found II
your library as they apply to specific
problems. Next week it will be a dis
cussion of the books which relate tc
the work of the housekeeper anc
mother.
Several patrons of the library have
told me that they feel the need of new
books in the library. To these wish
to say that an order is being formu
lated now. To everyone wish to say
that if you have in mind book which
you would like to see on the shelves
come in and tell me about it.
/ invite all children between TIT
7 ages of five and seven years inclusiv,
to come to the library Saturday morn
ing at ten O'Clock and enjoy a stor,
hour with me. Please try to be pune

The value of vegetables grown
in farm and backyard gardens in
New Jersey amounts to over $5,-
900, 900 annually. This merely
represents the monetary value
and does not take into consider

from eating fresh vegetables,
says the New Jersey State Coll
eye of Agriculture. Children eat
almost as many vegetables as do

AS rule, home gardeners-es-
pecially beginners devote too
much space to lettuce and radish-
es and too little space to carrots,
beets, beans, onions, and tomat-
oes. Corn and Irish potatoes oc-
cupy too much space to be plant

N. j. JUDGE BLAMES GREED
FOR INCREASE IN CRIME.
Charges Grand Jury Not to Molly
coddle Law Defiance.

Human greed has caused the
alarming increase in crime during
the last ten, years and although
rigid enforcement may check 1t
there will always be some crime,
Judge Frank S. Katzenbach, OF
the Supreme Court of New Jersey,
said when he charged the April
Grand Jury in Camden.
1--WE all know this is an era OF
crime" he said. 1--WE read OF
causes, but it does not do much
good to analyze these. They go
back a good many years, but they
have been accelerated during the
last ten years. The cause OF this
Is human greed.
IF we temporize with crime, 1t
will grow. Crime is not going to
disappear entirely There Will
always be some crime, but it can
be checked by rigid enforcement
of the law. You will do a great
deal of harm if you mollycoddle
crime"
