FARMER SAFE
FROM HUNGER,
IOWAN AYERS
Relief or No Relief, They
Won't Starve,' Declares
Union Head.
BY FREDERICK C. OTHAM,
United Press STAFF Correspondent

DENVER, Colo, Nov. 21.-Farm-
erS may need relief, but whether
they get it or not, they won't go
hungry as long as they remain
farmers, it was indicated at the
National Farmers Union convention
here today.
"And that" said Miles Reno, pres
ident of the Iowa Farmers Union,
"is something to be grateful for,
anyway"
Reno, a tall, gray-haired farmer
ed-buSineSS-man" from Des
Moines, hea,. of farmers mutual
insurance company and a power in
the livestock industries of Chicago
and st. Paul, was the exponent of
satisfaction in a group apparently
composed of men none too happy
their lot.
'NeedS Higher Prices''
1.-THE farmer needs a lot of
things" Reno drawled. HE needs
higher prices for his crops and his
live stock; he needs better educa.
tional facilities for his children and
he needs more of the comforts that
his city neighbors take as O. matter
of course.
'But for all that he is not going
to go hungry-he's right at the
source of supply"
Reno was in the midst of group
of his fellow delegates when he told
the United Press of his disbelief in
even the remote chance of the
farmer starving. All of them ad-
mitted readily enough the farmers
access to food, but they were quick
to qualify his statement.
FOOD isn't all, not by a long shot"
said C. G. Talbot, who runs a 1000
acre wheat farm at jamestown,
South Dakota, and is head of the
North Dakota Farmers Union.
Object to PaternaIism
eve are not going to starve, but
the way we are going, we are not
going to miss it far"
Talbot emphasized the need for
the farmer to solve his own prob
lens and to do his own marketing
and financing through cooperative
associations, without the aid of gov
ernmental agencies.
1--WE don't want paternalism," he
said. Eve think we are smart
enough to do our own thinking, and
well, that is what we are trying
to do.
Our greatest problem is that of
getting the farmers to thinking and
acting together"

UNION, Mo-, Nov. 21.-Defense of
Mrs. Bertha Clifford, Catawissa, Mo-.
housewife and neighborhood nurse
who admittedly gave arsenic to her
patients to ease their pains and
used it herself ito make me look
young" opened IN Judge R. A.
Breuer'S circuit court here today
She is charged with the death of
Edward p Brinley, neighbor. She
admitted in a signed confession that
she fed him arsenic ito quiet pains
in his stomach"
Counsel for Mrs. Gifford-includ-
ing 23-year-old Virginia Booth, a
graduate coed of Missouri Uni
verSity School of Law-had two
alternatives from which to choose !;
they could contend her admins
tration of the arsenic was in good
faith, despite its fatal effect, or they
could pied insanity. In view Of adj
mission of her confession, insanity
was believed their last resort. She
has pleaded not guilty.

MYSTERY SURROUNDS MESSAGE
SANDERS IS BELIEVED CARRYING
Rumor Says President Is
Sending MiSSive to G. 0. P.
Convention.
No Indications Given by Cool
idge of Having Sent
Butler Letter.
BY ]. RUSSELL YOUNG.

What President Coolidge is going to
say or do when the Republican national
convention gets under way in Kansas
City Tuesday was causing more agita-
ton and speculation than any other
relating to the choosing of a Repub-
lican candidate for President last
night, when the last of the party of
chieftains and delegates departed for
The convention city.
Foremost among the speculation was
the belief that Everett Sanders. the
Presidents secretary, when he departed
last night was the bearer of a COM
munication from the President to the
convention. In fact. unqualified reports
rom Kansas City represented Secretary
Sanders as going to the convention for
the sole purpose OF presenting the
Presidents message to the delegates.
Another rumor was that President
Coolidge already has sent a letter to
his personal friend. Chairman Butler of
the Republican national committee,
definitely removing himself from con-
sideration. Reports about this letter
were specific enough to say that 1t was
sent to Mr.. Butler last Monday and
that it will be read by him to the dele
gates soon after the convention opens,
and the fact that 1t has been unofficially

S15,0(D,O|)O ASKED
FOR TEN OFFICES
District Budget Estimates
May Approximate $45,-
100000 for 1929.

More than $15,000,000 is asked by
10 departments Of the District govern
ment for the fiscal year 1929-l930 in
preliminary estimates filed yesterday
with Daniel j. Donovan, auditor and
budget officer. The amount sought ex-
ceeded by S3.500, 900 the appropriations
for these 10 departments for the COM
ing fiscal year beginning July /.
The estimates of 10 departments rep
resent about IS per cent Of the entire
budget. The public school and the Pub
lie Library estimates were previously
submitted, but those of the Fire and
Police Departments and the Board of
Public Welfare are yet to be filed.
May Ask S45.00O,0OO.
As the schools alone usually use ap-
proximately one-third of the total
budget of the municipal government
officials figure, on the basis OF the esti-
mates OF two-thirds of the depart
ments that have been submitted, that
the total requests of the department
heads will approximate 5000, 900. The
total of the preliminary estimates OF
the department heads last year was
S48, 100000.
Among the estimates filed yesterday
were those OF the Electrical and Water
which are lower than the
appropriations for the coming fiscal
year. The highway department, how
ever, asks for 100000 more than 1t
did for the 1928-1929 fiscal year, which
will greatly offset the reduction in the
estimates of the Electrical and Water
The Health Department
and the office of the director of public
buildings and public parks also ask for
about $500, 900 more each, while the
refuse department Is seeking $500,000
above its appropriation for the new
fiscal year
Estimates Are Tabulated.
A tabulation of the estimates OF the
10 departments III comparison with the
1929 appropriations follows:
