BUFFALO. N. r.. Sept. 1. = Warning that present overproduc tion of about a million barrels of oil daily amounts to gambling with future national safety was issued by Secretary of Interior Hubert Work today. He appealed to the legal profession to for mulate sane and positive coyrst that will protect our nationa structure in the years to come.
 Addressing the mineral law sec ton of the American Bar Asso citation, the Interior Secretary said that the need for conservation of oil in the ground was never more apparent than now if "our future needs would be asurei and "our national life surely saf } guarded"
 'H Federal or additional state legislation is essential as a cor. rective," he continued, "the soon CT such enactment is evolved the better.
 If the remedy rests with the oil companies themselves. through voluntary and wholehearted co operation. or through compulsory unit pool operation, or some othel method. the time is preeminently ripe for action"

 FROM PENITENIIARY


 ATLANTA. Ga., Sept. War. ren T. McCray, former Governor of Indiana, has been released from the Atlanta Penitentiary on parole after three years and four months of 10 year sentence for using the mails "in furtherance of a scheme to defraud.'
 "Is COMING BACK"
 INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 1-'I am coming back" former Governor Warren T. McCray of Indiana said when he entered the federal pris- on at Atlanta an May 1, 1924.
 He asked the Indiana public to have faith in him. hoped for an opportunity to vindicate himse's and to pay back every cent To t by friends and associates in his financial collapse, and declared that if he had an opportunity As would prove that he had no intent to defraud any one.
 Known as millionaire and an astute business man with no bad habits when he became governor of Indiana in 1921, McCray WIS caught in the deflation of farm land value which soon wiped out his fortune. On the witness stan,: in his trial he admitted signing names of other persons to notes, but disclaimed any intent of for gery or wrong doing. At one time he was one of Indiana's largest landholders.
 From glocery clerk to wealth and recognition as one of the mid dle vests greatest Hereford cat tie breeders, McCray came shortly after the end of the war to look yearningly at the Indiana execu- tive chair Beaten by James P. Goodrich for the republican nomi- nation in 1916, he won in 1920.
 Hardly was he acquainted with his duties when rumors of his financial condition gained circula- ton, but his real status was not learned until August, 1929, when he quit the presidency of the Kentland. Ind, Discount and Deposit bank.

The highest price is expected to be

father of the last Car Nicholas II
whom the Bolsheviks executed. The
coat is lined with perfect pelts or
rare silver sables and there is a great

SCHOOL DOUBLES
FARMER INCOMES,
SURVEY REVEALS
In 40 Years Educated Earn
$4,000 More Than
Others.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, May 27.-Educa-
ton 10 q necessity in modern farm
ing, according to F. A. Merrill, Of
the Extension Service, Department
Of Agriculture.
1.-THE value Of an education to a
farmer can now be discussed in dol
lars and cents" Merrill said. Sur
veys made in twelve states show con-
clusively that the years spent in
high school and college are well paid
for by increased earning capacity
when farm activities are undertaken.
''Even a common school education
is distinctly more advantageous fl
nancially than no education at ALL"
ne said.
SO School Days
To illustrate this point Merrill
said it was found in Texas that every
day spent by, a child in school might
be considered worth So. -------
"This estimate was arrived at by
taking $4,000 as the total earnings
Of an uneducated laborer owe "a 40
year period and $40, 900 as the total
earnings Of the high school graduate
who had spent twelve years in school
of approximately $50 days each in
training" he continued. The gain
in wages, $4,000, was due to these
2,160 days of school, representing a
value of 1925 day while the in
struction lasted.
1.-THE annual net profits Of Geor-
gia farmers without any schooling
we're found to average $240 annual
ly, while those who had common
school education earned $565.50; high
school graduates $664.50; and those
who had completed an agricultural
college course earned $1,254.
Educated Lead
Those who had taken only a short
course earned $89595, or almost
three times as much as those with
no education at all.
"In Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and
Kansas, the survey showed again
that the men receiving the best
training made the largest incomes in
both the owner and tenant groups.
"In Missouri the better educated
men own four-fifths of the land they
operate, keep more live stock, handle
more crops with each workman en-
played and do about one-fifth more
business.
Become Owners
can interesting fact brought out
by the Wisconsin survey was that
farmers with high school educations
acquired the ownership of their
farms in about seven years while it
took ten years for those with only
a common school education to ac-
quire clear title.
"In New York State, among those
in any given capital group, the high
school graduates at any age were
making more than the common
school farmer several years older
and with the same amount of invest
ed capital"
Merrill said the survey showed
without exception that the man with
the greater training enjoys the
greater prosperity.

Hon. w. NJ. Wilmington
Addresses the Voters
at Opening of Court

Congressman Will NJ Wilmington
was in Lexington Monday, and in re-
sponse to the request Of the large au-
dience assembled for the opening of
court, delivered an address giving an
account of his services during the ses-
sion of Congress adjoined.
He referred to his recent trip to Hay
ii and the Panama Canal Zone, and to
conditions in Central America. Re
ferring to the agitation for the build
ing of a Canal through Nicarauga, he
is of the opinion that an additional ca
nal is not need at this time, and that
the Panama Canal Canal is sufficient
for many years to come. When needed
the Panama Canal can be enlarged at
ruch less expense than can another ca
nal be constructed Congressman Whit
tington believes that the crying need
Sf the Latin American countries, in
Guiding Mexico, is the education of the
masses of the people
Congressman Wilmington devoted
most of his address in giving an analy-
sis of the farm relief legislation pass
ed by the last congress and vetoed by
the President The reasons assigned
by the President were not new, and had
been considered by Congress for
months. The McNary- Haugen bill of
the past session was not perfect, but
was very materially different from the
bills of the previous sessions. He call
especial attention to the insurance fea-
ture of the legislation, which would
have been exceedingly beneficial to the
cotton producer. This plan was pro-
posed and originated by some of the
ablest and most successful cotton grow
crs familiar with the priblems of both
production and marketing, and came to
be known as the Mississippi contribu-
