barking Farmer Browns Boy knew that
Bowser had found some animal or bird
that had refused to run or fly away.
Probably" said Farmer Browns Boy,
''Bowser has freed something. 1 wonder
If it can be that Bobby Coon is out yet.
I'll have to have a look. Bowser never
banks for nothing. He has found some
one or something"
So Farmer Browns Boy headed over
toward where Bowser was barking. He
approached carefully He could see
BowSer in front of little hemlock tree
and making short rushes toward it and
then backing away, all the time barking
Whatever it was was under that little
hemlock tree. Farmer Browns Boy
moved forward AS he did so a big bird
swooped down and struck Bowser
Bowser yelped. Yes sir, he yelped. If
you have ever seen the big claws of
Hooty the Great Horned Owl, or Mrs
Hooty, you will not wonder that Bowser
yelped when Mrs. Hooty struck him.
We'll, I never!" exclaimed Farmer
Browns Boy. What can that mean?
What is Mrs. Hooty getting after Bowser
FORE"
Meanwhile Bowser had backed away
to safe distance, where he continued
TO bark. Farmer Browns Boy continued
to advance, and suddenly Mrs. Hooty
swooped at him. She didn't hit him, but
she passed very close to his head, and
she was swapping her bill in the most
threatening manner. Farmer Browns
Boy was puzzled until he looked UP and
saw the old nest of Blacky the Grow.
Then he understood, or thought he did.
Those Owls have taken Blacky's old
nest this year." said he to himself.
That's what it is. They have taken
Blacky'S old nest and they don't want
us around. Still, that doesn't altogether
account for the way Bowser was bark
ing. Bowser wouldn't notice that nest,
and if he did it wouldn't mean any,
thing to him. There is something queer
about this. must look into it."
Just then Farmer Browns Boy caught
glimpse of something white that
moved underneath the little hemlock
tree at which BowSer had been barking.
He hurried forward and stopped to peer
under. AS he did so he received sharp
blow on the back of his head. It was so
unexpected that it caught him entirely
unprepared, and bending over as he
was, he nearly lost his balance. But he
didn't quite. He heard the sound of a
swapping bill and he knew who had hit
him. He knew that Mrs. Hooty had
treated him just as she had Bowser the
Hound.

BORAH REFUSES
To BACK TRUCE
ON FARM LAWS
Charges That Pressure Is
Put on Leaders Are
Made by Senator.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-Charges
that severe pressure had been ex-
erted on farm leaders to obtain sup
port for the administration winter
legislative program revealed today
that Senator Borah CRep., Idaho)
will not join in the proposed agri-
cultural truce.
Borah said L. j. Taber Of the
National Grange charged pressure
had been applied to him.
"Taber told me pressure has been
brought to bear on him from all
sources. But he said he had made
no agreement at the farm confer
ence held this week under auspices
of the senate agricultural commit
tee" Borah said.
"Taber said he was for the ex-
port debenture plan of farm relief
at the short session of congress if
the opportunity offered to obtain
II.
Borah apparently was disturbed
by reports Taber temporarily had
abandoned the export debenture.
The Grange, Of which Taber is
master, is principal sponsor of that
legislation.
The conflict of interpretations was
clarified when it was explained
Taber believed the export debenture
should be obtained by amending
existing tariff legislation and not by
amendment of the farm board act.
Thus, when Chairman McNary of
the senate agricultural committee
informs the senate next month that
farm leaders oppose tampering with
farm relief legislation at this time,
Borah is planning to counter with
with his Interpretation of Taber's
remarks and to back it up with
quotations from the mast of the
Grange.
Nevertheless, it appears the
changes of the debenture are slight.

RUSH WEDDINGS
ARE HELD VOID
Judge RearS Barrier for
Tijuana Marriages.
By United Press

By United Press
LOS ANGELES. Nov. 27.-Hasty
marriages of young American cou-
Piles who elope to Tijuana without
regard to Mexican laws, absolutely
are void, Superior Judge Thomas
Gould hsa ruled.
He expressed his opinion in annul-
ling the alleged marriage Of Roger
M. Coe to Margaret H Coe. The
ceremony occurred at Tijuana, Sept.
10. 1929.
In petitioning for annulment
young Coe was supported by the
testimony of G. Gaxiola Andrade,
for ten years justice of the supreme
court Of the state of Sinaloa, Mex,
and later Governor of that state.
Andrade told the court that under
the laws of the state Of Baia
Oower) California. in which I'll
juana is located, parties contracting
marriage must have been residents
of the territory for at least six
months previous to the ceremony.
Also, the ceremony must be wit
messed by two persons having the
same residence qualification, and
having known the persons contract
ing the marriage for at least three
years.
1T appears that none of these
laws were complied with" Judge
Gould said.
