UNITED AGRICULTURE
ANNOUNCES POLICIES
Three Thousand Rural Represent
atives at Chicago Meeting of
Farm Bureau Agree on Pro-
gram.

Organized agriculture of America
again has made it's policies known
to the world. 1t has determined to
bring about economic adjustments.
Legislative actions, social develop
ments, which, when 1927 draws to
close, will have brought the agri-
cultural industry into more happy
and prosperous state.
This was the enthusiastic opinion
of 5000 individuals, representing
rural America, at the close of the
Sth annual meeting of the American
Farm Bureau Federation in Chicago.
1t was the most harmonious meeting
ever held by the federation.
Twenty-eight resolutions were
adopted which indicate clearly that
all sections of the country have unit
ed to fight for the farmers rights on
national issues.
Outstanding among the resolutions
was one demanding immediate legis-
lation to provide proper means for
disposing of farm SURPRISES. The sur
plus control plan adopted has two
general principles:
1. A Federal Farm Board, admin
istering an adequate revolving fund,
with whose help SURPRISES can actu-
ally be handled by cooperative agen-
cies created by farmers.
2. Distribute the costs of man
aging SURPRISES just as broadly as
resultant benefits are distributed;
that is, over each marketed unit OF
particular commodity through an
equalization fee.
Other resolutions included sharp
demand for immediate action by con-
gress on the settlement of Muscle
Shoals; pointed criticism of Federal
Land Bank administration; support
of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence deep

WE know of no reason why small
w town retail dealers should not
supply the ordinary wants OF the
people of their country, even though
MANY of these people may for certain
reasons 90 to some larger town to
purchase some of their goods and
supplies. The way to get and hold
business in that territory or this ter
ritory. or any other, is to carry the
goods that are needed by the public
and advertise them in the newspapers
or in other mediums. There is always
reason why men and women do not
trade at home but go somewhere else.
Yakima merchants understand this
very well. They spend large sums for
store publicity and they get results
by doing so. We believe the merchants
of any small town may do very well
by following their example. There is
enough business here in this country
nm and down the river for everybody
who will go after it. The fact that
some business has gone away to some
other town is not matter worth
complaining about because there is al
ways plenty more to be had.-YakI-

RESPECT FOR LAW

THERE are too many people in this
= country who think lit is cute to
"put it over'' on the officers of the
law. They feel it is a smart thing to
hoodwink the officers by shooting
game out of season, cracking the
liquor laws. and in many ways slyly
do things the law forbids. There can
be no respect for law so long as peo-
pie have this attitude, nor can our
country be safe if any growing pro-
portion of our people practice that
form of law breaking.
There are too many of US who want
the law enforced on George, but
want the law to let us alone so we
can do as we please. There is an ad
monition in the Good Book which
ought to apply to our civic conscious
ness and our national patriotism. Il
effect it says if any of US do any
thing that offends brother, or lead
hirl to wrong action, we should pluc
it from us.
If we as an American people ar
to sustain our loyalty to our countr
and its institutions, we must obey il
laws. 1t is the American way to sui
nit to majority rule. When the majo
ity passes on law, and it become
the rule of the land, as good either
we should obey that law, whether v
like it Or not. Our country is in da1
ger So long as we do not respect OF

TINE small newspaper publisher

been harder hit by government own

of any other line of business. The lit

with the great tax-free government
printing office, with it's tremendous
buying power backed by the credit OF
the United States Treasury itself.

is at the present time leading in the
campaign to get the government out

CUPID TAKES POT
SHOT AT THIS FAMILY

It isn't so unusual for a mother TO
be away from home nor it is SO un-
usual for mother to want to get mar
fied, but when she goes off to get
married just at the time her daugh-
ter needs her to complete her own
marriage it looks like Lady Luck has
finally turned traitor to Cupid.
Il all started when the clerk of
the court insisted that the bride
either prove her age or obtain moth
er's consent. The telephone was
brought into action and calls were
sent out for mother. Then it was
that they discovered that mother had
also decided to get married and was
on her way to the altar in another
town. 1t turned out all right, though,
when testimony was presented show
ing that the bride was old enough to
pet married whenever she wanted to-

HAMMONS, INDICTED IN PRES
COTT BANK CASE, GIVES BOND

At liberty under $500 bond, A. T.
Hammons, state superintendent of
banks, who was indicted on two
counts by the Yavapai grand jury late
Friday night on charges Of having
violated the state banking laws, spent
the afternoon in conference with
Judge j. A. Ellis. He will not be
arraigned on the two charges until
early in the week. The indictments,
which were the last Of 46 true bills to
be returned before the jury recessed
for an indefinite period, charge the
bank examiner with the violation Of
section 10, chapter 81 of the session
laws of 1922 in allowing the bank of
Jerome to make two loans each Of
which was in excess of 25 per cent
Of the capital stock of the bank.
After filing the two indictments
against Mr.. Hammons, the grand jury
made comprehensive report of con-
ditions throughout the county, scoring
the banking conditions which permit
ted three institutions to close and in
dieting the city governments of Pres
colt and Jerome for vice conditions
which were characterized as "revolt-
ing and shocking"

DYING WOMAN KILLS
BABIES AND SUICIDES

The bodies of woman and two
baby girls, victims of a desert ira
gedy were brought to Phoenix Thurs
day for burial. They are Mrs. p. j.
Cox, %, and Doris Abbie and Dor
othy Elizabeth, aged 4 months and 3
years, respectively.
Mr.. Cox found them Thursday
when he returned to his homestead,
about % miles from Casa Grande,
after an absence of less than three
days. Mrs. Cox was bitten by rat
tlesnake Sunday night and. fearing
that her babies would die of starva-
tion after she died, she shot them
through the. heart and then turned
the gun on herself.
Blood-stained notes which the wo-
man had scribbled off during her
hours of agony after the snake poi
son permeated her system told of
how she tried to get help from her
nearest neighbor, seven miles away,
and, failing, of how she had resolved
to commit the double murder and
suicide.
The body of the mother was living
on the floor of the childrens bed
room when found by Mr.. Cox and the
children were in bed, dressed in their
night clothes. Authorities believed
Mrs. Cox waited until the children
we're asleep before killing them. All
three were buried in the same grave.
