Reveals Simple Method
Of "Invisible" Writins

An ex-cOnvict who spent Is terms
In prison, recently visited the ONCE
of the London Daily Chronicle, and
left a letter purporting to reveal
secret method of invisible writing
BY means Of which prisoners were
able to communicate with friends
outside In the letter he claims that
this was the method employed By
two prisoners who committed sui
eide, when. as stated at the time.
they were able TO send a request to
friends to forward them poisoned
sandwiches under the system which
enables prisoners on remand to re-
ceive food from outside. The let
ter continues: "In this letter Is the
method under which they sent out
their messages Can you fnd itf'
The explanation and test Of the
trick were finally volunteered. In
the blank spaces of the letter the
ex-convict had penned an invisible
message by dipping the pen nib In
his mouth and writing with saliva.
Lightly done, this cannot be seen
By the naked eye. To reveal the
writing all that had to be done II
to rub ordinary ink over the blank
space, blot II quickly and the In
visible words stand ont Ike ofdi-
nary penmanship.

provide, "shall be a person accept

Board"
This corporation provides a med
ium through which the Federal
Farm Board may make loans to
cooperative grain marketing as
sociations, both for current mar
keting purposes and for the &C
quirment of physical facilities.
Such an organization, if properly
managed and properly supported
by the farmer-owned marketing as
sociations, should not only reduce
local and terminal marketing costs,
and eliminate much waste in mar
keting costs, and eliminate much
waste in marketing, but also would
exert strong influence toward
greater market-price sterilization.

corporation provides a plan where

operative grain marketing activi-
ties on extensive scale into the
domestic terminal and export mar
kets. The plan which has been pro-
vided is the result of conscientious
effort on the part of committee
representing all types of existing

agencies. Great pains have been
taken to insure that the provis-

FEDERAL FARM BOARD

With the filing of the Articles
of Incorporation at Wilmington,
Delaware, today the Farmers Ma
tional Grain Corporation, a CEN
trail Corporation, a central market
ing agency for the grain cooper
atives of the United States, came
into legal existance with head
quarters in Chicago. This is the
first national commodity coopera-
tive sales association to be set up
under the guidance Of the Federal
Farm Board. Similar organizations
for the wool and mohair and live
stock cooperatives are in the pro-
cess of formation and will be COM
pleted at an early date. Organiza-
ton of the cooperatives handling
other commodities on national or
regional lines, dependent upon the
particular commodity, is being
fostered by the Farm Board in the
hope that they, too, will put them
selves in position to take full adj
vantage of the provisions of the
Agricultural Marketing Act.
The Farmers National Grain
Corporation is organized on a
strictly cooperative basis which
will make use, to the greatest ex-
tent possible, of all existing farm
crowned grain marketing facili-
ties. The organization will have adj
equate capital and if given the
support of existing farmer-owned
grain marketing associations will
handle annually a volume consid-
erably in excess of 500,000,0 900 bu-
shells of all grains. General and

.WHY / TOOK UP FOOTBALL

Undoubtedly there is one over
whelming reason why | took up
football-love for the game. Notlce
the boys who play the game whole
heartedly, they stick with it un-
less outside motives enterfere, not
only for the game itself, but for
the secret feeling of accomplish
ment it offers, for the comrade-
ship, and teamwork automatically
included into one.
Another factor is school spirit
or loyalty. 1t is hard to stand by
while your fellow schoolmates are
fighting to uphold those old school
traditions. loyalty in this in
stance may show up in the boy who
sticks with practice night after

AT the call of the Federal Farm
Board fifty-two representatives of
thirty-six farmer-owned marketing
associations met in Chicago July
26 as the first step in the organi-

ganization committee of sixteen
members was created and met with
the Farm Board in Chicago late in
August, at which time a SUBJ COM
mittee of three members was des-
ignated to draft articles of incor-
poration and bylaws. This sub
committee conferred with the Farm
Board in Chicago early in October
and again in Washington two
weeks later, when complete agree

made its final report to the organ

October 25 and the articles of in
