LONG DISTANCE
RATES REDUCED

Reductions in long distnace tele-
phone day rates, which it is estimated
will save the public S5,000,000 an
nually, will be in effect January |.
1880, according to I. ]. Kearns, local
manager for the Mountain States
Telephone and Telegraph company.
1t Is the fourth such reduction in lit
tie more than three years.
Word of this reduction, which will
apply throughput the Mountain
States territory and generally thru
out the Bell System, was received by
the local manager from F. H. Reid,
Denver, president of the company.
The new rates affect station to
station calls-that is, calls on which
you are willing to talk to anyone at
the called telephone.
This latest cut is in line with the
Bell System Policy to provide the
best possible service at the least pos
sible cost.
The last long distance rate reduc-
ton was effective February |, 1929,
and similarly meant an annual saw
ing of about S5,000,0Oo to the public.
This was preceded by another reduc-
tion on December 1, 1927 which
meant saving of about $1,5OO,0 900,
and one on October 1, 1926, saving
S3,000,000
While it has been possible to re-
duca the charges, the service has
been extended thus making it more
valuable to the user because of prog
ress toward the ultimate goal of en-
abling anyone anywhere to talk with
anyone else anywhere else at any

maximum of so per cent after re
concentrations by the tariff com
mission.
No Conflict
There is no fundamental conflicf
between the interests of the farmer
and the worker Mr.. Hoover said
Lowering of the standards of living
of either tends to destroy the other
Nor is there any real conflict between
the east and west or the north and
the south in the United States
As previously had been announced
the presidents tax reduction plan
called for a decrease of l per cent in
corporation and normal personal in
come levies to be collected during the
calendar year 1880. Such a program
the president said, will give a meas
ure of tax relief to the maximum
number of taxpayers, with relatively
larger benefits to taxpayers with
small or moderate incomes"
Mr. Hoover also recommended a
more liberal public buildings program
in Washington and throughout the
country, requesting that steps be tax
en- to enable early construction. In
keeping with his recent Louisville adj
dress, he approved increased appro-
priations for inland waterways and
Mississippi flood control work.
Power Commission
Included in the more than a score
of recommendation were those pro-
posing the authorization of a federal
power commission composed of three
full time officials in place of the
three cabinet officers who now serve
ex-offieio; congressional inquiry to
determine the possibility "of prudent
action to give relief to mounting
expenditures; ratification of
the French war debt settlement; ear
~ return to the bulk of alien proper
ty still held by the United States;
permanent the present temp
orary federal radio commission; and
a liberal federal highway program.
To the latter was added the statement
that congress ultimately must give
to work intended to sti-
mulate farm-to-market roads.
The president also informed con-
gress that he soon would lay before
it recommendation of the postoffice
department. with respect to curtail-
ing the S80,000,O00 deficit which that
branch of government now incurs an
nually.
He recommended legislation enabl-
ng railroad consolidation; a special

which would permit the early resum-
otion of activities at Muscle shoals;

FARM LEADERS
CONFER WITH
PRES. HOOVER

Prompt steps taken by President
Hoover to avert a nation wide bust
ness depression included a conference
at the White House of heads of indus
trial, labor. and agricultural groups,
all held within the last two weeks.
Agriculture was represented by
national officials of the Farmers I'm
ion, the Farm Bureau, the Grange,
and the Equity Union National
President c. f. Huff and National
Board members, c. c.. Talbot of
North Dakota, and Charles N. Rogers
of Iowa, represented the Farmers
Union, according to a statement is
sued by the Union press bureau at st.
Paul.
The crash in the stock market, the
statement continues, wiped out the
holdings of several millions
of people living in every state in the
Union. These foolish people who
tried to get rich gambling in stocks
will not buy many Christmas presents
this year, and the effect on trade will
be widespread and depressing.
The same thing would have hap
pened in the grain market had not the
Farm Board stepped in with an APP
of s100,00O,000, and made
that big sum of money available to
the cooperative grain marketing or
CARNATIONS to advance to farmers on
grain storage on guaranteed price
basis.
This was the first big move of the
Farm Board, the statement continues.
The sterilization section of the Fed |
aral Marketing Act was used, and
Used effectively The big world
gamblers in grain were all ready to
AXE smash at wheat, and drive the |
orice to a dollar at the terminals, but
he shorts ran for cover when Uncle |
Sam announced that a hundred mil I
ion, plus the intermediate Credit
3ank's advances of seventy-per cent,
we're ready for all farmers who had
forage tickets or grain stored on the
arm
Wheat went below the stabilized
rice for few days, but the price
lid not linger there.
The Farmers Union got on the air
md announced the stabilized price,
With the guarantee that money would
ONE out into the country as fast as
armers would apply for it, and meet
he conditions.
Despite all that has been printed,
here We're thousands of farmers who
ould not understand how or why
hey could get an advance on stored
rain out in the country greater than
he local elevator could offer them as
market price. They thought there
aust be "catch" in the thing some
1here.
Many farmers, however, now have
he actual money If wheat goes
own, they will not be called upon to
epay the advance. If wheat goes
bove the amount advanced, the
armers who got advances will re-
GIVE the benefit of the increased
rice.
When wheat prices were stabilized,
hat also favorably affected prices of
Their grains.
One of the results Of the conference
t farm leaders at Washington is an
greement on the part of the big gen
raj farm organizations to work in
lose harmony with each other.
The Federal Farm Board is treat
1g all farm organizations alike, the
tatement concludes, and is seeking
ational unity and closer working re-
ationship of organized agriculture.

The moot question, what Is the
most important shot in golf? has
produced a number Of different an
swers, all interesting and a couple
Of them clever.
Willie Park, a grand putter, said:
"The man who can putt is'a match
for anybody"
To which Harry Vardon replied:
1.-THE man who can pitch doesn't
need to putt"
And one witty sophist lodged the
issue by saying that the most i'm
portant shot in golf is "the next
one"
l like Walter Hagen's determined
decision, following an era in which
it seemd generally accepted that
the iron shot was the backbone of
golf"
THE drive is the most important
Shot" said Sir Walter. 1T makes
every other shot easier or harder"
This is essentially a reasonable
verdict. especially in the latter
days of Gargantuan courses, with
the second shot depending almost
exclusively on the long and accu-
rate wallop off the tee.

Kid Pancho To Be

That the doughty Kid Pancho
will appear in the main event Of
the boxing card to be staged at the
Fort Brown skating rink Sept. Is,
is almost a certainty, Promoter Tex
Becerril announced Monday morn

Pancho's manager. Terms have
been almost reached.
This will be Pancho's first ap-
pearance here since beating Johnny
Hughes, declared by many to be
the hardest hitting 125-pound
fighter eve to visit the Valley.
Their bout is generally accepted as
the best fight ever staged here.
AS an opponent for Pancho, Bee

you can begin putting" is Bobby
| Jones' support Of Sir Walters the
DRY; and if anybody should know
the Importance Of the drive it is
Bobby, especially since the United
| States open championship Of 1923 at
Olympia fields. His failure to win
the championship, and, indeed, to
win it by from two to eight strokes,
is directly attributable to his inabil-
ity in that tournament to keep his
tremendous and usually accurate
tee shots in the fairway.
The long and accurate drive
makes all the difference between
a pitch to the green and q hard
iron or a spoon shot, sometimes
from a disadyantageous position, on
many of the two-shot holes which
nowadays constitute the potent fac
tor Of our championship courses.
On the popular holes Of 400 to $40
yards, a fine drive leaves a pitch or
a medium iron, where a short or
| partly missed drive means a poke
with the longer irons or a desperate
bang with the wood.
Two-thirds of a modern cham
pionship course is built on the drive
| with the wood.

When the fistic fans in Manhat-

cold February night in 1925 after
watching the bang-up Joe Dundee
Charley O'Connell 10-rounder, they
we're confused as to the actual win
ner and the method at which the
officials arrived at their decision.
1t seemed that O'Connell ham
mered Dundee around at a livel.
rate and it "a just a matter OF
how easy he was going to grab off
the big end Of the purse.
In the ninth round he slapped
the Italian to the canvas. Dundee
grOggy from punishment, took 2
short count, rose to his feet and
then suddenly decided to take q
longer count and pumped down
again without being hit.
Referee Jim Crowley immediate
ly rule that Dundee had disquali-
fled himself and awarded the ver-
dict to O'Connell. However, the
commissioners, grouped at the rinc
side, disagreed and proceeded to 90
into a huddle.
With the crowd yelling for action
Dundee was again ordered to fight
The referees decision was overruled
and the final round was ordered
under way.
Again O'Connell renewed his
furnishing attack. At the finish
the referee passed the buck to the
commissioners, who then decided
O'Connell. Cleveland boy. had wor
on points. The referee insisted he
had won on a technical knockout
and the boys who had wagered or
the result had their voice Of de-
cisions.

'ROBBY HAS
NOTHING TO
Smile over
BY BRIAN BELL
ASSOCIATED Press Sports Writer.)

CLEARWATER, Fla, March II
@LP)-Wilbert Robinson, the "jolly
Robby" Of Brooklyn baseball, finds
it harder to display his beaming
smile as the Robins 60 about their
training. Any froWnS Robby may
be c~oncealing seem justified.
Dazzy Vance, speedball kind OF
the National league, is losing val
liable days while he confines his
attention to the business office in
stead of the ball field. The daZzler
thinks the club officials have un-
der-estimated his value by about
$500.
Glenn Wright, a great shortstop
for Pittsburgh, pulled up with a
lame arm in his first day Of prac-
tice and is under treatment.
Brooklyn lacks coordination in
some of the players. If Wally Gill
bert could hit like either Babe Her
man or Harvey Hendrick he would
be a third base sensation and if
either of the clubs star hitters
could come up with the balls Gilbert
gets, Robby would worry much less.
TOO early" says the manager when
asked if he had made a tentative
arrangement of his infield and out
field combinations.
Two Posts Assigned
Two positions seem assigned. Del
Bisonette, who can hit and field,
will play first base and Herman will
take care of right field. Herman is
no ball hawk but he is the clubs
best hitter.
Jake Flowers was given a tenta-
tive advantage at second base but
Billy Rhiel, who has had two trials
with the club, has complicated the
situation by his good playing in
practice.
Wright, in shape, is conceded the
shortstop position but if his arm
should be slow in coming around,
Dave Bancroft will have to step in
Gilbert is essential at third base
from a defensive standpoint.
But if he fails to hit, Hendrick may
have to be move in from the outfield
for the sage of the offense.
RUDE BresSler will be an Outfield-
er, at least part Of the time. Max
Rosenfeld, II of the University o.
Alabama crop of football and base
ball players. John Frederick, a
Memphis graduate, the much trav-
eled Henry Sullop and Hal Lee, a
former infielder, furnish an inter
esting contest for the available out
field openings. Max Carey is listed
as an outfielder but probably he
will coach and act as first lieutenant
to Manager Robinson.
7 Hurlers Back
Seven Of last years pitthing staff,
excluding Vance are back. Thus
far there has been no indication at
the training camp that any of the
veterans will be displaced. The
holdovers are Doug McWeeny, Wat
son Clark. Big Jim Elliott, Rube
Ehrhardt, Ray Moss and Louis Kou-
pal.
One Of the young pitchers is not
so young. VIM Ballou, drafted
from Milwaukee, has had much ma
jor league experience. Jim Rich
ardSon from New Haven, elise
Dudley. late of Atlanta, and Bill
Moore, a Macon product. are work
ing hard to win a place. One, or
two at the most, can succeed.
