Farm Measure Wins by 214 to
178-Creates Farm Board
And Revolving Fund.

Washington-The McNary farm
bill was passed by the house in exact
ly the form approved by the senate.
The vote was 214 to ,7S, a margin of
SO votes.
1t now goes directly to President
Coolidge, with congressional opinion
divided as to whether he will veto the
measure or permit it to become law
The bill proposes creation of fed
eral farm board with power to levy
an equalization fee on six basic agri-
cultural commodities for the purpose
of controlling SURPRISES.
By passing the measure, the house
in less than IL months reversed its
position, having rejected by vote
of PIP to 1877, bill embodying the
same general provisions last spring.
Two years ago it also voted down a
bill by the same name with similar
provisions.
The senate, by passing the bill At
to 80 last week, also reversed it's po.
sition, having rejected the equaliza.
ton fee plan last year.
The measure, framed Jointly by
Chairman Haugen of the house COM
mittee and Chairman McNary OF the
senate agriculture committee, is de-
signed to promote orderly marketing
of basic crops by the control and dis
position of SURPRISES.
1t would set up federal farm board
of II members, to be selected by the
President from list of Sc names sup
piled by farm organizations. When
ever it appeared that surplus ex-
listed in any of the basic crops the
board might declare an operating
PERIOD" buy in crop until it's sur
plus had disappeared, and feed the
surplus into world markets.
The measure provides for $780,,
100000 revolving fund for the board s
operations. Any loss sustained in the
boards activities would be assessed
against the producer through imposi-
ton of an equalization fee.
The board also would be empower
ed to make loans to co-operatives
with a view to strengthening them to
supplement the work of the board.

Tornado Rips Two States;
26 Killed in Southern Storm

Atlanta-At least rs persons were
killed, scores were injured, some so
seriously that they may die. and thou
sands of dollars worth of property was

sissippi. The death toll by towns was
as follows: Pleasant Hill, La, II dead,
25 injured; Rose Hill, Miss, s dead,
10 injured; st. Joseph, La, z dead.

destruction across the rural districts.
A heavy downpour of rain followed the

Shanghai-Reports from Hangchow
indicated that the route of the

complete, and it was announced at the
United States consulate that the q.
S. S. transport Chaumont had been
ordered to proceed direct to Shanghai
with 1900 marines aboard. Troops
of Marshal Sun Chuan Fang, Chinese

Storm RACES Along East Coast

New York-From the Delaware to
Halifax, the Atlantic seaboard was
scourged by bowling northeast gale,
reaching blizzard proportions at many
points. From a minimum Of H.. the
estimated loss of life ranged up to a
score; millions of dollars in property
was destroyed and tremendous dam
age occasioned to telegraph lines,
roads and seaside improvements.
North from Delaware beach, the
shore line is strong with debris of
small craft. Accompanying winds of
terrific force were tides of record
height, undermining summer bunga'
lows and more pretentious homes,
particularly along the Jersey ocean
front.

The Fifth National Boys and Girls
Club Congress brought together more
than 1000 of Americas outstanding
rural youth and over 200 leaders of
All Club work throughout the United
States.
Accurate estimates indicate that
1926 has been the biggest year for
All club work since it was organized
as there are now 100000 club men,
bers enrolled, carrying on over 1000
600 projects in agriculture and home
economics. Public spirited citizens
in all walks of life are rallying to the
support of All club work, giving of
both time and money in order that
this practical system of American ed
ucation may reach additional thou
sands of the farm youth of the nation.
1t is interesting to note that Mime
sofa has one of the largest enroll
ments in club work, totalling $1,000.
Is it any wonder that we are proud of
our 81 Minnesota youth who were sent
as delegates to represent Minnesota
at this great gathering?
The three primary purposes of the
Congress were to:
First. to give the delegates an op-
portunity to compare ideals and stan
dards of the work and to see the
worlds greatest livestock show. Sec
ondly, to recognize the achievements
of our farm youth in All club work
and to reward their efforts with
something of an educational nature.
Thirdly, to let the general public see
what boys and girls club work
means to the country, so that further
support may be given in order that
additional leadership may be provided
making club work available to farm
boys and girls everywhere.
The program started on schedule
with the Non-Collegiate Livestock
Judging Contest taking place Friday
morning at the International Amphi-
theater. Each state of the Union had
the privilege of being represented in
this contest and to the boys of Idaho
went the honor of carrying off the
highest score.
Friday evening the contestants were
dinner guests at the Saddle and Sir
lcin club by the courtesy of the In
ternational Livestock exposition.
Saturday marked another event i'm
portant to the boys enrolled in the
livestock feeding contest which was
held at the Amphitheater. Special
tours were made to the cold storage
warehouse for the benefit of Judging
teams and others arriving early.
Since the Minnesota delegation did
not arrive in Chicago until Sunday
morning, it was necessary for us to
register then as it was the last day
for registration. Upon arriving at
the depot the group from southern
Minnesota was greeted by those who
entrained at st. Paul and who had
arrived and breakfasted before our
train came in.
The Chicago Northwestern depot is
certainly a busy place. Over three
hundred and fifty trains a day pass
through the yards. The Minnesota
delegation made tour of the depot
before going to headquarters. The
things that interested us most were
the adequate facilities maintained to
take care of sick or injured patrons
of the company, the library and the
immigrant room. In the immigrant

room we saw one of the typical Euro
pean families seeking a home in
America, the mother with shawl
over her head, the children likewise,
long dresses, high top shoes and their
worldly goods in bundles and sacks.
The children stared big brown eyes
at those who were gazing at them
from the doorway. At the depot the
group divided, the boys under the
guidance of Mr.. Kittelson, went to the
Central Y. M. G. A. and the girls
had their headquarters at Y w. C.
A. annex at 1916 Michigan Avenue.
Acting in the capacity of chap
erone l went with group of girls
to st. Mary's church at Ninth and
Wabash, within walking distance of
our Chicago home.
After the services we had lunch
and then joined the Minnesota boys
at the "Y" and went out to Lincoln
park. Lincoln park is a whole ami
NAL and bird world in itself and it
would be out of the question to give
detailed account of our tour there.
We visited the lion house and one of
the lions roared in true lion fashion.
One lion made more noise than all of
the Delavan Lions in our "Let the
Lions Roar" yell. He opened his
mouth so wide that, had he been a
human being, he would have dislo-
Gated his jaws. We were through
the aquarium and saw a great variety
of fish; through the birds paradise
and the tropical gardens. The trop-
ical gardens are simply fascinating,
with their soft green's, MOSES, ferns,
vines, flowers, and running waters, an
utter contrast to our northern gar
dens in early winter, with their glis-
around us with never sight of the
soft green peeping through. We were
reluctant to leave the park, but when
we were on the top deck of the big
buses, looking out over Lake Mich
igan, we sped down Michigan avenue
to the Loop district of Chicago, we
realized that Chicago had more than
Lincoln park to offer to its host of
visitors. We we're getting into the
district of the three look buildings
and if we didn't see the top on the
third look it was because we got our
eyes filled with dirt.
Special service for All Club folks
was held in the evening at the Sec
ond Presbyterian church at 1896
South Michigan avenue, also within
walking distance of our hotel. A
Chicago boy gave an address of well
come and a All Club boy from Illi-
nois gave a response, speaking for the
10000 All club members in Amer
lea. Dr. Howard, pastor of the church,
spoke on Invested Capital" He
brought clear and inspiring mes
sage, a brief summary of which
might be, that our enduring invest

money, which is of the least i'm
portance of the three; 2, brain power;
3, character.
