The transatlantic airplane, The

cause Of an unqualified gasoline

forced to discharge 265 gallons of
the $50 gallons supply when the

to rise and was dropping down in

weather conditions over the At.

The perfect landing of The Dawn,
with load OF $500 pounds, on the
beach here was regarded as re.
markable demonstration of aviation
skill on the part of Stultz, who was
at the controls.
The protecting arm of Prout's Neck

probably saved The Dawn from a
forced landing on the water, shelter

Washington, D. c., June 16.--
With "Protection for all, or pro-
lection for none" as their slogan,
farmers of the middle-west have
served notice on the Coolidge ad-
ministration that there must either
be farm relief at the next session
of Congress, or in the Presidential
campaign of 1928 the farmers
will throw their support to an
effort to withdraw the enormous
tariff bounties which the Steel
Corporation, Mr.. Melons alumni

poles now enjoy.
This slogan was adopted by the
"Corn Belt Committee" repres-
enting farmers of the middle-west,
at a conference held in Des Moines

GOVERNOR-ELECT TOPETE SAYS ELECTION
OF OBREGON DEMANDED BY
MEXICAN PEOPLE

Los Angeles, June 16.-Devel-
opment of the Mexican state Of
Sonora, now assured, is bound to
benefit indirectly California busi-
ness and make for the industrial
solidarity of the Pacific coast of
both nations, Gen. Fausto Topete,
governor-elect of Sonora, said
today upon his arrival here. He
comes with Sonora Topete for a
rest after his political campaign
ending in his victory in the cleo
tions in April. He will take of
flee in September as chief ex-
ecutive of the border state, which,
disregarding the peninsula of
Lower California, is the extreme
northwestern state of the Mex
ican union.
Governor Topete points out
that the recent completion of the
Southern Pacific of Mexico from
the border at Nogalcs to Guada-
lajara, connecting the west coast
with central industrial Mexico,
will result in important develop
ment of the west coast of Mexico
and indirect benefits to the south
west of the United States. He ex-
poets the first benefits in his
state to be in the cattle industry,
it now being possible to ship Son
onra stock to the populous centers
of the republic.

FARMERS OF THE MIDDLE WEST DEMAND
ING FARM RELIEF FROM COOLIDGE
ADMINISTRATION

consistency Of the administration
which raised TIE tariff on pig iron
one day, and the next day urged
the doctrine of non-interference
by government of behalf Of the
agricultural industry. We charge
that practically every principle of
government enunciated as funda-
mental by President Coolidge in
his farm bill veto was violated by
him when he raised the pig iron
tariff at the demand Of powerful
industrial interests. The u. S..
Steel Corporation produces more
than half the pig-iron output of
the United States. Our iron and
steel exports in 1926 were 80 per
cent greater than the exports of
1925; yet the Steel CORPORATION
admits that its export business
of 1926 was done at lower prices
and less profit than its domestic
business, although its total profits
were enormous. We seek no
special favors we demand at the
hands of government the same
consideration that is shown other
groups, and we ask organized
agriculture throughout the hand to
join us on the platform "Protec-
ton for all, or protection for
none"
Nogales international., 1927-06-17

The new Sonora governor sue
ceeds Alejo Bay. General Topete
always has been a military man,
and outstanding among those SOL
diers of the revolutionary army
which were contributed in such
numbers from Sonora. He is
a strong political follower of Gen.
Alvaro Obregon. and predicts
that he will be the next Mexican
president.
General Obregon must be
elected" he says. "Eighty-five
per cent of the Mexican people de-
mand it, and even if he does not
want to announce his candidacy
for the elections in 1928, the
public demand will require it.
This will not conflict with the an
ti-re-election clause in the CON
stitution. "Re-election" in
Spanish means only two consecut-
i've terms"

game" says Judge SABBATH in Col
ier's Weekly, "and the matrimoni-
al game will be smoother if you
remember that in a sense you are
being reincarnaAed; that you are
beginning a new life, assimiating
a new view point, entering a new
sphere"
These seven rules he said con-
tain the essence of a successful
marriage:
1. Don't be matrimonial Bah
bitt. Keep in step with your part
ner's mind, body and soul.
2. Remember that vulgarity and
successful marriage are mortal
enemies.
8. Compromise is the anti-toxin
that destroys the germ of divorce.
4. To have mothers-in-law is
fortunate, but to live with them
is dangerous, and to criticize them
is fatal.
5. Find out your beloved's ideas
of matrimonial ethics before the
wedding; then make them the
basis of your love life.
6. Park your past at the altar
and never go back to claim it.
z. Courtship is the prep school
for the COLLEGE of matrimony. The
real study of the art of love begins
on the honeymoon and lasts
lifetime.

to the unusual degree needed to
foresee the possibilities lying
dormant in land yet unrecIaimed,
and to carry plans through the
maze of engineering difficulties
that go with the construction of

Mr.. Oldberg was born in st.
Paul, Minnesota, on August 10,
1875, and graduated from George
Washington University in 1900.
His interest in the work of the
government began soon after
graduation with position as
structural craftsman at Washing
ton, D. c.. The years 1901 and
1902 found him with the U. S.
Geological Survey. In the years
1902-05 Mr.. Oldberg was with the
Reclamation Service. The years
1905-07 found him as a structural
engineer of the Quartermaster
Corps of the U. S. Army. In 1907
he became supervising engineer
with the U. S. Indian Service and
continued in this work until in
1927 TIE call Of the bugle sound
&c. Two years later he became
first captain and then a major
of engineers. Since the war he
has been back in his old place with

now serving as assistant chief en-
gineer.

phases of reclamation. Yet his
training hos been broad and of the
rigor that rules in the government

particularly necessary in DESIGNING

communities are often at stake.
