 Sybirs marriage has been partic ularly unfortunate because of her engagement to Craig NewhaIl. who has loved her devotedly for several years Mabel hopes that a quiet di- vorce may be obtained and that Sybil may still marry Craig. But if Sybil is going to have child that complicates matters.

Sill I'll TO SEEK
| 0NDEN AID
IN ARMS
BY RAYMOND i. horst
international News service

NEW YORK, Aug. q Gov. al
Smith intends to CAN upon Republic
can leaders to aid him In solving the
farm relief problem, in event Of his
election 10 the presidency. he said
today in a brief formal statement is
sued after a. tW0-honr conference
with George N. Peek, Of Moline, Ill,
spokesman for the farmers Of the
Mid West.
Governor Smith mentioned former
Gov. Frank @. LoWden OF Illinois AZ
one OF the Republicans he would ask
to help him work out a concrete plan
for farm relief for submission to
Congress at its opening session.
Text Of Statement
After my talk with MIR. Peek.
am more than ever satisfied the
Democratic platform soundly de-
clares the fundamental basis for re-
lief OF the appalling agricultural dis
tress. which not only threatens the
farmer himself, but also Is destroy
ing the farm markets of $40. 000, &c.,
900 for the industry of the country.
Control Of the sale OF the agricul-.
tlral surplus Is recognized by our
platform as an essential need, its
cost to be imposed upon the unit to
be benefited. That principle is
fixed by our platform IN which
stand only the detail OF Its accom-
plishment remains.
las i have said, I shall imn1e-
diately Ii am elected, ask the best
farm leaders and economists, TO work
out this detail with me.
No Party Lines
II shall ask them to serve m.
respective of their locality or party.
Republicans like Governor Lowden
az well as Democrats who have
studied this problem, viii be called
upon by me for this patriotic serv-
Ice. u shall discuss this question
at length in my acceptance speech.
Peek long has been close friend
of Governor Lowden and 1t Is
understood he told Governor Smith
he was certain that Lowden would
be glad to help him IN working out
a plan that win bring real relief
to the farmers.
This is the first conference the
Governor has had on the farm
question since his nomination with
any leader who has made a care
FIJI study of this problem.
The Governors conference with
Peek was arranged by John j. Ras.
kob. chairman of the Democratic
National Committee. 1T Is regarded
as the first direct move on Smiths
part to capture the vote Of the
farmers of Inc Middle West. When
the active campaign gets under
way the Governor plans TO make
several speeches directly to the
farmers.
Following his conference with
the Western farm leader the Gov
ernor,. accompanied by Gov. Harry
Byrd, Senator Claude "A. Swanson
and Senator Peter G.. Gerry. de-
parted for cruise on Long Island
Sound aboard William II. Todd's
yacht. They expect to play golf
at Pine Bluff, Conn. and will re-
turn sometime tonight.
Peek refused to discuss his con.
ference with Governor Smith ex-
cept to say he would issue formal
statement later
