Sesame is word of three syllables,

In one of the tales of the Arabian
Nights"-Ali Bahia or the Forty
Thieves" -"Open Sesame" are the
magic words which cause the cave
door of the forty thieves to open by
itself. "Shut Sesame" were the words
which caused it to shut. Sesame Is a
grain, and hence, when Cassim forgot
the word, he cried, "Open wheat! Open
rye! Open barley" but the door
obeyed no sound but "Open Sesame"

ORGANIZE NOW,
JARD|NE URGES
u, S. FARMERS
Creation of Federal Board
for Agriculture to Be
Recommended.
BY JOSEPH S. WASNEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-Secre-
tary of Agriculture Jardine today
urged all growers of major farm
crops to organize Sterilization
corporations to assist in placing agri-
culture on a prosperity par with
other industry.
He said the Government, to aid
such move, would recommend that
Congress create a Federal farm
board to aid farmers and guide them
in their problems.
Jardine's views, made public here
today, we're written for the Okla
hona Stockman and Farmer. Stab1l-
ization corporations, he said, should
be established with nominal CAPT.
tai stock, owned by properly organ
lied commodity co-operatives.
"The corporations, under general
guidance of the farm board, would
take part of SURPRISES off the
market, when exceptional seasons
resulted in large crops, and prevent
prices from dropping to abnormal
Iy low levels" he said.
This farm board plan, Jardlne IN
dicated, would be the major farm
relief legislation sought by the de-
partment in Congress this winter.
The board, he said, would be or
ganized to supply farmers with in
formation of supply and demand
factors affecting production and
marketing and would have control
of a revolving fund from which adj
vances could be made to organiza-
tons.
Jardine said legislation was needed
to aid agriculture. He asserted State
legislation affecting local taxation
and local banking was quite as es-
sential as national legislation.
National and State legislation, ito
help the farmers help themselves by
organized effort" should be enacted
at once, he said.

NORBECK'S AID
new TONIC TO
LOWDEN BOOM
South Dakota and Iowa
Now SoIidIy Behind For
mer Illinois Governor.
BY PAUL r. MALLON

OnlLtu fTcSS Stdu COTTeSpOnucuL
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The
statement of Senator Peter Norbeck,
Republican leader of South Dakota,
that he is for Frank o. Lowden of
Illinois was interpreted here today
as convincing notice that Lowden is
very much in the race for the 1928
Republican presidential nomination.
Norbeck has complete control of
the Republican organization of his
State, it was pointed out. In 1920
he carried the primary there for
Senator Hiram johnson of Cali
fornia, South Dakota being the only
State to declare for Johnson.
More recently his power was
tested in State gubernatorial con-
test in which the opposition was de-
feated overwhelmingly.
AS Norbeck goes, South Dakota
goes, the saying is. Hence, if Nor
beck is for Lowden there is reason
to believe South Dakota will send a
Lowden delegation to the NOM
mating convention next summer.
Previously only the Republican
leaders of Iowa had indicated they
would participate as unit in any
Lowden boom. When the Republican
national committee met here several
weeks ago, reports circulated that
Lowden was displeased that other
States had not swung into line and
that he might retire from the race.
Source of the reports could not be

VETERAN COP DEAD
Injuries Received on Duty
10 Years Ago Fatal.

Fred M. Loucks, At, a member Of
the police department for nineteen
years, died today at his home, 3l20
Kenwood Ave-, the result of injuries
received ten years ago while on
duty.
Loucks encountered two Negroes
on the aqueduct, known then as
wild Cat Chute" where the Canal
crosses Fall Creek. He attempted to
arrest them. A fight ensued. Loucks
was hurled over the wall and fell
to the creek bed several feet be-
low. His back was broken.
Several operations prolonged
Louk's life. He returned to duty at
headquarters where he served as
telephone operator.
Several months ago he became i'll.
Death came today when the curva-
ture of the spine developed into
meningitis.
Besides the widow he Is survived
by son, John, his mother, four
brothers and three sisters, all but
one living in Indiana. Present ar
rangements call for the funeral at

they were circulated by his enemies
Whatever doubt existed concern
ing Lowden's plans, the Norbeck
statement has dispelled, men who
have followed the situation closely

Norris (Rep), Nebraska. The in

to support Norris.
Many of them are opposed per-

ly admit that their stand has been
somewhat weakened by Norbeck's
profession of allegiance to the for
mer Illinois Governor.

PARTS OF MASTODON
FOUND AT LAFAYETTE
Three Huge Teeth and Part Of Tusk
Dug Up BY Workmen.

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Nov. Flour
well preserved portions Of the skele-
ton of a mastodon were found by
the crew of a telephone company
while excavating near the Monon
railroad tracks within the city limits
Monday.
The parts, three hug molar teeth
and part of tusk, were found only
two feet beneath the surface of the
ground. It is probable they were
unearthed from greater depth
when the Monon was first built and
were again covered without being
noticed.
The parts were all in good condi-
ton except the tusk, only twelve
inches of which was found. At the
larger end it measured three and
one-half inches in diameter, and at
the other end, two and one-half
inches. The three teeth were all
splendid specimens, being seven
inches long from root to crown. Six
inches wide, and three and one-half
inches deep.
