SEE COAST GUARD
MORALE IMPROVED
Officials Note Betterment as
an Index of Service
Sterilization.

Continuous improvement in the
morale of the Coast Guard, although
the force has increased over 1000 men
since 1926, was announced today by
officials at headquarters here as an in
dex of the stabiliZation of the service
following the hectic days of the height
of rum row activities. The Coast
Guard is now able to hand pick its men
and leiSurely to investigate thoroughly
their status in civilian life and home
surroundings to insure getting the best
available material, officers say, adding
that more than 1000 former Navy men
are now serving in the Coast Guard
DeSertionS from the service have
slumped materially, the officers point
out, Summoning these figures to prove
it: With an average of 8727 men in
the service in the fiscal year 1926, there
were 1,720 deSertionS while during the
fiscal year 1928, ending last June 80,
there was an average of 1886 men,
with only 937 desertions In other
words they say, there were some 143
desertions month in 1926 and for the
fiscal year 1928 there have been but 78
a month
The indicated figure for the fiscal
year 1929, judged on the basis of figures
tions are running about 81 men a
month.
Increase in establishments.
The percentage of re-enlistments is
pointed to to show that the Coast
Guard offers an attraction to those who
know it best In 1926 the percentage
of re-enlistments was 70: in 1927 it had
risen to 86, and in 1928 the figure was
38 and for the fiscal year 1929 the same
average is indicated as for last year
Losses of men from the service prior
to the expiration of their enliStments
were 378 a month in 1926 and in 1928
this figure has dropped to 223.
An applicant for enlistment in the
Coast Guard must now present creden-
tials from his employers and school and
birth certificates, and his flngerprintS
are taken and sent to police authorities
to make sure that he is not an eX-
criminal Home conditions are likewise
investigated to make sure that the re-
cruit will not have to return home,
through dependency or otherwise, after
he has been few months in the Coast
Guard.
AS an index to the process of selec-
tivity now reSorted to in recruiting the
Coast Guard, the officers say that in
the fiscal year 1928 8,621 applied for
enlistment, but that only 1,842 OF them
we're finally enlisted. OF the total
Z.3oo were rejected lOT p1lyS1Cdl O4o-
ability and 4,426 were rejected for other
lisqualifying causes.
College Men in Ranks.
There are quite a number of college
men in the Coast Guard, the officers
point out and service school facilities
are afforded those who show special
aptitude. Coast Guardsmen are trained
in radio at the Naval Research Labora-
tory at Bellevue, D. c., and other serv-
ice schools over the country are utilized
and the Marine Corps correspondence
course lis available to Coast Guardsmen.
The expansion in personnel of the
Coast Guard and the construction Of
several new vessels are given as reasons
for opportunity being brighter than be-
fore in the service that is part of the
Treasury Department in time of peace
and part of the Navy in time of war.

FARM BUREAU
HEAD RESIGNS
TO AID SMITH
J. F. Reed, Avowed Republican
for 40 Years, Quits Min
nesota Body
SAYS AL HAS REMEDY
Resignation's Effect on Polit-
ical Situation in North
west Doubtful

st. Paul, Sept. 5.-(R)-J. F. Hsed,
an avowed Republican fer - years,
resigned today as president Of the
Minnesota Farm Bureau federation
to campaign actively for Governor
Smith for president.
He quit as head Of the non-politi-
cal organization Of st, 900 1armerS to
support the Democratic presidential
candidate because he considers
Smiths pronouncements and his
platform embrace the principles
held vitsl to any adequate farm re-
lief PLAN"
There may be other issues in this
campaign" said Mr.. Reed in his
statement Of resignation, ''but to
the American farmer no issue ought
to be 90 momentous 40 that on which
depends the prosperity Of his indus
try and the preservation Of his
home"
Both the Republican platform and
Mr.. Hoover, - charged, withhold
from agriculture any promise Of IN
adequate remedy for existing condi-
tions, confining their agricultural
pledges to vague generalities which
in no way define, nor suggest, nor
promise, the remedy long soug.-. by
American agriculture"
Head For I Years
For seven years Mr.. Reed, whose
home 10 in Lac Qui Parle County,
has been 1t the head Of the State
Farm Bureau Federation; in 1923
"a he was . director Of the American
Farm Bureau federation and in 1926
26 was it's vice president.
In the period Of his association
with the state bureau its member
ship has grown from less than 16,-
600 to the present paid up member
ship Of $4,000 Minnesota farmers.
Much Of the success Of the north
west shippers advisory board alse
is due to Mr.. Reeds efforts.
Just what effect Mr.. Reed's action
viii have On the political situation IL
Minnesota cannot - foreseen, but
Smith supporters predict it will in
fluence many farm votes in favor Of
the Democratic candidate.
Saw Both Conventions
Mr.. Reed went to both the Demo-
cratic and Republican National con-
ventions in . Nonpartisan role, seek
ing the strongest possible agricultur-
al plank in their respective plat
forms. He told the platform makers
that they would need strong planks
to get the farmer vote.
In speeches since the conventions,
Mr.. Reed has declared the Demo.
cratic platform more favorable to
the farmer than the Republican, but
had refrained from announcing his
support Of any candidate.
Now, ke declares, after consistent
" voting the Republican ticket for
20 years, hs is changing his alleg-
lance only insofar % the National
ticket ID concerned, for he no longer
"fsels obligated to give blind sup
port to . party leadership well
known to be opposed to the farmers
best inte.ests."
