New Fight
Looms Over
ast Estate

Cleveland, Ohio, MAY 26.-The
strange story of man, Tilted by his
sweetheart more than half CEN
tury ago, who retired to seclusion
of an old, dilapidated house and
there built pu fortune in real es-
tale, entered a new phase here with
the filing of his purported will
which, if valid, would cloud title to
about S25,O00,0OO worth of property
in and around Cleveland.
The reputed will was filed by
John Christ Jr., nephew of Valen-
tine Christ, who was the largest
land holder in this country when
he died in 1910. Young Christ, a
law student, said he found the old
document in basket of papers in
the attic of his home
II was the second alleged will be-
fore the probate court here. Soon
after Valentine ChriSt'S death a pur-
ported will was probatcd. dividing
his estate OF approximately $4,000
600 between his brother, John
Christ, and his sister, Mrs. Barbara
Damack. A second brother, Adams
Christ, was not mentioned. Adams
Christ sued to break the will and
was successful. the court dividing
the estate between the two brothers
and the sister.
The rcputcd will filed today
leaves the entire estate to John
Christ, now deceased. His heirs, in
addition to John Christ Jr., are J.
Oliver Christ and Mrs. Ethel Shama-
dan, all of Cleveland.
Included in the land that would
be affected if the document is held
valid is a portion of the site of the
Cleveland Union station. now
under construction, more than 60
other parcels of land. many of them
important business locations, and a
part of the extensive estate of John
d. Rockefeller.
The story of Valentine Christ ri.
walls fiction. Disappointed in the
love of girl shortly after the Civil
war, he detached himself from the
world and in the solitude of the old
house where he spent the remainder
of his life he threw himself ir,o the
qualification of a passion for ac
quiring land. A tax sale brought
him his first parcel, and his Ias
came tn" same way. Most of his in.
tervcning deals were similar. A.
the years passed and Cleveland
grew the value of his holding,
mounted until he was twice a mil
lionaire when he died. In The 4
years since then the property he lef
has multiplied its worth approx
mately II times.

FLOOD PREVENTION

Almost every fellow you meet
these days has his own ideas OF how
to prevent future floods, just as they
had ideas few years ago to pre-
vent wars, but in our opinion the
best way to keep the rivers in their
channels is to build more leveeS
and better levees.
All of which brings to mind an
argument we heard few nights
ago on the streets of TeXarkana.
One man. who probably had never
seen a body of water larger than
Spirit lake, that fishing place near
Texarkana, was letting it be known
i'm no uncertain tones that these
Ievces are all the bunk, that when
man fights nature he always loses.
at wasn't meant for man to inter
fcrc with nature" quoth he with a
dramatic wave of the left hand.
Well. That's new one for us.
Somehow we were under the i'm
preston lcvee was about the only
salvation for river-bank dwellcrs,
provided the levce is strong enough,
and they can be made strong
enough to hold any river, no doubt
about that We suppose nature is
intcrfcrcd with when we venture
out into the rain or sun with the old
rainstick spread over us. Luckily,
however, most of us are opposed to
allowing nature to take its course" "
II has been said ii would be i'm
possible TO build lcvce to hold the
Mississippi river, but that is an un-
reasonable statement. The United
States government built the Panama
canal, connecting the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans; we have made, so
they tell us, the Philippine islands
safe for the flivvcr, and we have
won every war we've had to date.
The United States government can
build levee that Will hold. In
fact, the United States government
can do almost anything. with the
possible exception of controlling the
elements and enfocing the NOlstead
law. Let's have more levcs and
better lcvccs

WILL THIRD TERMISM"
DEFEAT COOLIDGE!

Senator Edward | Edwards. Dem
ocral of New Jersey, is of the opin-
ion that third termiSm" will defeat
President Coolidge. even if he is re-
nominated. which the senator be-
licveS doubtful.
No tradition is more ingrained or
deeper seated in the United States
than that which denies a man more
than eight years in the presidency.
says Senator Edwards, who declared
that ANY worthy nationally known
Democrat can ride into the White
House on this issue alone" and that
any attempt on the part of President
Coolidge to dictate the destiny of
these United States for more than
eight years will be met with Just
and proper rebuke
Senator Edwards said that if any
president could have succeeded him
self for a third term ii was Andrew
Jackson in 1910 and yet Jackson
could read the handwriting on the
wall After Jackson, president
Grant tried for a third term, the SEN
alor says, and failed; President
Clcveland'S friends "flirted" with
the idea of third term ard gave it
up and Roosevelt openly Haunted

NUMBER OF BRITISH WOMEN
FARM WORKERS INCREASE

London May-Women are slowly
but surely forging ahead at farm
work in England.
There are 1000 fewer men work
ing on farms now than year ago
according to the government agricul-
tural statistics for 1926, but the
numbers of women and girls show
large increase. There are now
62,9i9 of them.
Farmers are taking more interest
in cattle raising and are turning
from the raising of produce to the
more profitable business of breeding
This is shown by decrease of 49,
900 acres intheland under crops
and an increase in grazing land OF
10000 acres.
During 1926 farmers bred 36,5St
more fowls than in 1925, 2,742 more
ducks. 66S more turkeys and GAG

but many of whom are also members of your
society.
Our district office does not afford much
relief as we need so we get the shortage from the
Miners Relief Conference. For instance, our local
got $279 from the district office but needed 1881
to provide all members that relief and in bad
circumstances with their small quota you see
that we have to have the shortage. Sometimes we
have more shortage, sometimes less, according to
how many members are idle We are just trying
to keep our members from going to the non-union
fields and especially from scabbing.
AS for the statement of Philip Murray regarding
the Miners Relief Conference, we, members OF
Locals 1876, 2278, $780, 1165, 1877, 5071 and 3422
of the U. M. w. A, at joint meeting held at
Bentleyvie Pa. Sept. 2, declared that the state
ment of Murray is to the detriment OF the
United Mine Workers of America than to their ben
eft in the present struggle.
y Through the union there no charges against
any of our members who the executive com
mittee of the M. r. c. and if the officers OF our.
district and international union does not deem 1t
breach of the constitution of union to organize
such conference, and to be on the executive com
mittee of such conferences-f they do not forbid
the local union relief committees to receive help
from the NJ r. c., then feel that the conference
has all the right in the world to speak in the name
of the striking miners and their families of western
Pennsylvania, despite the denials of Brother Muir
ray which we don't know officially.

still Unless the strike gets relief, it will be lost
The union officials will not raise money for starving
miners, they will interfere as much as pos
sble with whoever else wants to raise money. But
the miners are unanimous for relief, and apparently
nothing can now prevent the organization
wider and wider scale of rank and file relief COM
mittees.
AS an example of the effect upon the rank and
file miners of any scheme to interfere with their
first attempts to get relief, may be cited COM
muncation under the seal of Local Union SOIL,
u M w. A. Cokeburg, Pa, and signed by the chair
man. secretary and a committee of five miners
elected at a meeting of seven local unions. 1t is
addressed to the executive board of the Croatian
Fraternal Union of America headquarters in Pitts
burgh, and shows the disgust of the miners with
their officials who try to declare their relief illegal
and their resentment at the decision of the fraternal
order, which accepted International Vice-Presdent
Murray's decree of August 2, that the Miners Re-
lief Conference sis not bona fde organization
The letter is as follows:
To the Executive Board of the Croatian Fraternal
Union of America, 1912 Peralta St., N. S.,
Pittsburgh, Pa:
Dear Sir and Brothers-We read your minutes of
the 10th of August and you rejected the appeal
for relief for the striking miners and their families
made to you through their representatives elected
on the first of July, 1927, at Pittsburgh.

will be found on both sides of the
question, but few stockmen have a
very strong feeling either for or
against direct buying.
Direct Buying i'm Iowa.
Direct buying has centered more in
Iowa than any other State, since Iowa
is a huge producer of hogs and has a
large number of packing houses located
at various tentative. points. But even
in Iowa direct buying in the last six
years has increased to only 8 per cent.
All factors in the trade agree that the
established public markets will always
be the most important outlet of hold
ings of many localities.
One of the chief objections to direct
marketing is that the individual far
mer usually does not have as much
skill as professional statesmen in bar
gaining with buyers, since he is not
as well informed on immediate trade
conditions and is not able to get the
advantage of heavy fills. In answer
to this it is said that the farmer does
not need national legislation to check
any offer that arises. All that he has
to do is to refuse to sell.
1t is pointed out, in addition, that
the conditions of the live stock mar
ket are broadcast by radio throughout
the stock-raising States from three to
six times a day, and with regard to
gaining the advantage Of fill, the buy
ers are not likely to be imposed on
by either commission men or farmers
in this respect Fill consists of giving
the hogs, just before marketing,
heavy amount of food and water.
