FARM BOARD CALLS
WHEAT PRODUCERS
Session in Chicago Tomorrow
Is for Purpose of Study
OF. Grain Industry.
BY the Associated Press.

The interest Of those who fought
for farm legislation to relieve condi-
lions in the wheat belt Of the Middle
West was focused today upon the meet
ing of the Federal Farm Board tomor-
row in Chicago to get first-hand infor-
nation on what the farmers Of that
region believe should be done to help
them.
More than 80 officials of the leading
farmer-owned co-operatives and pool
ing agencies have been invited to ap-
pear before the board at this first
meeting outside of Washington since
it's organization and to give their opin-
serve the growing farmers OF the
Nation"
While the question OF sterilization Of
wheat always has claimed first atten-
ton from those in touch with grain
conditions, there was nothing in the
boards announcement Of tomorrow's
meeting to indicate that 1t intended to
use the Chicago session as q vehicle
for putting the sterilization sections Of
the farm act into operation.
The boards announcement itself said
that the meeting will provide valua-
BILE opportunity whereby oficials Of
these farmers organizations may come
more closely in touch with the work Of
the board and with the possibilities for
assistance in grain marketing which
could be rendered under the agricul-
tural marketing act"
Members of the board emphasized
that they were going to open the grain
question without preconceived ideas.
They said it was their intention to
bring the interested persons round the
table for general discussion OF condi-
tions and remedies and consideration
of the latter in relation to the scope OF
the farm relief act.
While the names Of those invited to
give their views were not made public,
the boards statement said that the list
would include officialS Of State farmer
elevator associations in Illinois, Iowa,
Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska, North
and South Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma and
Montana and the wheat pools in most
of the Middle Western States. In adj
dition representatives Of the farmer
owned commission agencies at Kansas
City, st. Louis, Chicago, Minneapolis,
st. Paul, Enid, Okla, and Hutchinson,
Kans., have been asked to be present.
Although called to deal primarily
with wheat and course grains, the Chi
cago meeting will be presided over by
a board still without member drawn
from that field of agriculture. Presi-
dent Hoover is still considering list
Of nominations for the vacancy on the
board held open for q spokesman for
wheat.

CONTEMPT HEARING
is SET FOR OCTOBER 2
Real Estate Men, Accused of Fail
ing to Advise Court of Sale,
Deny Charge.

Justice Jennings Bailey today set for
hearing October the contempt Of
court proceedings brought by United
States Attorney Leo A. Rover and As
sistant United States Attorney Neil
Burkinshaw against John B. Showalter,
real estate broker, and Alexander
o. Campbell and Luther A. Bennett,
statesmen in his employ. for alleged fail
ure to adviS,: the Probate Court con-
corning a sale of property for $4,000.
while they filed affidavits that a fair
price for the property was $4,000.
The three respondents, through At
torneys Leckie, Cox d. Sherrier, today
filed answers to the rule in contempt
and declared that they had not with
held information. but had made known
to the attorney for the estate that they
could get a sale of $4,000 on a cash
payment of 5000 and small monthly
payments, but were informed by him
that the offer must be all cash. They
then submitted the offer of S3,400 as
the highest cash sale that could be ef-
fected. Later, they admit, the property
was sold for $4,000 on the small pay
ment of cash and monthly notes. They
assert they had no intention of mis-
leading the court and were not present
and do not know what statements were
made to the court concerning the offer
of purchase.

supposed association with animals. Some
of the naive descriptions gathered by
DR.. Swanton are as follows:
Red snake disease. The legs, arms
or other parts of the body draw up,
sometimes to the extent Of breaking
the back. Remedy: A vine called sarsa-
parilla growing along creeks and having
yellow flowers.
Red squirrel disease. Toothache,
swollen jaws and sometimes nose bleed.
Remedy: The leaves Of mistletce.
Little peoples disease. The patient
is out of his head, talks incoherently.
and sometimes falls to the ground like
an epileptic. Remedy: The root OF the
huckleberry.
blue snake disease. Itching which
gets worse and is followed by sores
where the place is scratched. Remedy:
Take an old corn-cob from pen where
hogs are being fattened. burn 1t, and
hold the affected part over the smoke.
Burning ghost disease: The feet
swell up and big blisterS develop upon
them. Take dirt frcm the top of an
old grave, heat 1t in pan over the
fire until it is absolutely dry and apply
1t to the sores
Chickasaw Diety.
The Chickasaw ideas Of supreme
diety, DR.. Swanton points out, were
beautiful but somewhat obscure. He Is
referred to as Loak-Ishto-hoollo-A Aba,
1.-The great holy fire above" who re-
sides above the clouds and on earth
with unpolluted people. This, DR..
Swanton says, probably is something
different from sun worship and the
great holy fire" probably refers to the
shining, overarching sky. A Chicka-
saw seer told him that 'giver Of virtue
to nature resided on earth in the I'M
polluted holy fire and likewise above the
clouds and the sun in the shape of a
fine fiery substance, attended by .
great many beloved people"
The tribe considered it sacrilegious
to extinguish FIRE, which always must
be left to burn out. The only excep-
ton was made in ceremonies for the
dead when a burning brand was ex-
tinguished with fitting ceremonies as
symbolic of the departure of a soul.
They believed in very bad people"
who inhabited the dark regions Of the
West.
This tribe had a we'll defined legend
of a former home somewhere in the
West. When they left this native land,
according to the legend. they brought
with them at the command Of an oracle
a "sanctified rod which at every nights
camp they fixed in the ground. They
were to keep moving until in a single
night the rod had taken root and
blossomed. They were provided with a
giant dog as a guard. The dog sank
while they were crossing the Mississippi,
and his howlS can be heard on dark
nights, the Indians say. The govern
ment Of the tribe was arranged generally
on the clan system, each clan having
both q religious and political signifi-
canoe. Each clan is supposed to have
a particularly close relationship to some
animal.

COLUMBIA PARK BODY
ELECTS E.. N. NEAGLE
New Citizens Associa ton Formed
at Meeting Attended by
Seventy-fve.

E. F. Neagle was elected president of
a new organization, to be known as CO.
lumbia Park Citizens Association. at its
initial meeting in the Brightwood Park
M. e. Church, Eighth and Jefferson
streets, Tuesday night. Other officers
elected are: Clayton Richard, vice
president; j. G. Walsh, secretary, and
z. G. JonScher, treasurer. About rs
residents of this section attended.
Columbia Park lies between Petworth
and Brightwood, and is some distance
from the meeting place of both Of these
citizens associations, which makes 1t
inconvenient for residents to attend the
meetings of either. The section to be
included in the new association is
bounded by Kennedy street on the
north, Blair road on the east, Emerson
street on the south and Georgia aveneu
on the west. Another meeting will be
held in the Brightwood Park Church
next Tuesday night, when 1t is hoped
to obtain the 125 members necessary in
order that charter may be secured.
The most important item that con-
fronts the new association, it is said, is
to take up action with the District
Commissioners with view to relieving
the flood conditions that have pre-
vailed in this neighborhood, and have
caused considerable damage during the
past three years.

Judge Says He Wasn't Hit.
The policeman thought Judge Aukam
had been hit but the latter denied this

Denny Hughes, Fishers attorney. said
Fisher previously had been confined at
a veterans hospital at Norfolk, and he
would attempt to have him returned to

duct charge would have been tried. said
that If Judge Schuldt agreed, he would
be willing to have Fisher sent to the
Norfolk institution, according to Attor-
ney Hughes.

The best general rule as to
when to lay the napkin "as is

when to fold it and put 1t at
the side of the place is-lay it
just as it is at the side of your
plate when you know that it is
not to be used again, and fold
it and lay it more carefully at
the side of your place when
there is a possibility that you
may use it again.
For instance, at a formal din.

eral days in a home and the
general arrangements Of the
