HOOSIER FARMER

Attributes in Radio
Address.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, Feb. 11.-Speaking on
can Average Hoosier Farmer" over
radio station WIS, DR.. E. C. Young
of Purdue university outlined some
of the characteristics and attributes
Of che Indiana farmer as follows:
''The Hoosier farmer is a sober,
industrious citizen; not greatly diff
ferent from his brothers, uncles,
and sons, engaged in other occupa-
tions. He attends church on Sunday
and works about eight hours a day
on week days. He comes Of native
stock and lives a wholesome, normal
life. He rears a family of four chill
dren who receive a better education
than The United States average. He
pays more taxes than the average
citizen and receives less benefit than
the average for such payments.
THE average Hoosier farmer lives
on 102-acre farm worth $8,661. He
has other farm property worth
$1,O25. He has increased greatly his
annual output per man until in
1928 he produced almost twice as
much as his father did in 1880. He
has learned to produce SO efficiently
that he is forcing some of his less
efficient neighbors out of a job.
During the period since 1880 he
has increased his output per man
more than his friend, the average
manufacturer. He has hopelessly
outdistanced the average merchant
in this respect. He has learned to
produce a bushel of wheat in an
hour, a bushel of corn in half an
hour, a bushel of oats in fifteen
minutes and a pound of pork in two
minutes"

Cages, a young instructor of

Of unnecessarily exposing the chill
dren to the inclemencies of the

For that offense he was sentenced

sentence on condition that he dis
card the fresh-air method of child
care which his wife, whom Cages
described as an expert, had adopted
from baby books and magazines.
Cages readily admitted the facts
as alleged by the prosecution.
But, he added, the children were
covered by four blankets. They
were clothed in "sleeperS" covering
their hands and their feet. They
have been sleeping outside for
months, They are unusually heal

JOHN D. TELLS
STEWART STORY
IN CUSTER FIGHT
Rockefeller Jr. Appeals to
Stockholders to Dust
Chairman.

NEW YORK, Feb. 11.-John D.
Rockefeller Jr. has laid his case di-
rectly before the stockholders in his
fight to GUST Colonel Robert w.
Stewart from the craftsmanship Of
the board of Standard Oil of Indi-
ana.
In a seventy-two-page letter, is
sued by Winthrop w. Aldrich, a,
member of the Rockefeller poxy
committee, the entire story of the
Continental Trading Company =
chief cause of the present fight
was retold.
The letter is a summary of
Stewards testimony before the SEN
ate committee which investigated
the oil scandals growing out Of the
leasing of Teapot Dome. 1t charges
that Stewart not only was guarantor
of performance for the Continental
Trading Company, but that he
failed to reveal that hes had Con-
tinental bonds which he knew be-
longed either to the Sinclair Crude
Oil Purchasing Company or the
Standard Oil of Indiana.
The contract which Stewart sign
ed with the Continental Company
provided for the purchase of oil at
$3.50 a barrel and its sale at $1.75
with disposal of the entire amount
assured. The supreme court handed
down an opinion that the Contin-
entail Company was created "for
some Illegal purpose"
Stewart was tried and acquitted
on a charge of contempt Of the
senate and of perjury in connec-
ton with his testimony before the
senate investigating committee.
Stewart Had Bonds
From his testimony on April "a,
1925" the letter said, "it appeared
that Stewart had in his possession
bonds which he knew as early as
Nov. 26. 1921, belonged either to the
Sinclair Crude Oil Purchasing Com
pany or the Standard Oil Company
OF Indiana, and instead Of diSclos-
ing this fact to his board of direc-
tors and turning over the bonds i'm
nediately he created a secret trust
making a subordinate employee of
the company trustee, and did not
himself keep, nor did he require the
trustee to keep, any record what
ever Of the transaction except the
trust agreement written in pencil
which was kept in his (Stewart's)
own safe deposit box. The bonds
covered by the trust were placed in
2 safe. the combination of which
Stewart had and to which he had
access. and he did not turn over
these bonds to their true owner I'M
til April 20, 1928.
Partner of Sinclair
Moreover, Stewart participated
with Sinclair Harry F, Sinclair) in
guaranteeing the performance by
the Continental Trading Company
and the Humphreys companies,
which guarantee made it possible
for the entire Continental Trading
Company deal to be put through,
and he did not use his power, which
he undoubtedly had as chief execu-
tive Of the Standard Oil Company
of Indiana, the parent company, to
prevent Blackmer CHenry M. Black
mer) an officer of the Midwest Re-
timing Company, the subsidiary
company, from making a profit out

pany transaction.
