Hoarding Food

The habit of burying food Is one
that several wild animals possess.
It is evidently a trait handed down
from the time when England was
in a grip of continual ice. At that
time the hunter ate all he could,
then buried the rest, returning to
it when hungry. Nowadays the
weasel will kin far more than 1t can
eat, and it still buries the surplus.
but, unlike it's ancestors, it does not
return to the store, as there Is
plenty of fresh food to be obtained.

ONE YEAR OF HOOVER

President Herbert Hoover closed his first
year as president of the United States Tues
day.
For eight years prior to his election
Congress had wrestled with the problem of
farm relief. Early in the special session
called by Mr.. Hoover last April the Federal
Farm Bill was enacted and the Board, made
up of leading business man and men
who were recognized as leaders in their lines
of agricultural endeavor, were named as the
personnel of the Farm Board.
One of the Farm Boards cardinal prin-
ciples is to encourage cooperative market
ing. The Board very wisely ruled that any
branch of agriculture to receive financial aid
must be members of the recognized co-opera-
tives of that particular branch.
One of the plans of the bill was to fix a
minimum price on given commodity in ord
er to stabilize the price. When the price Of
wheat began to tumble the Farm Board
stepped in and purchased large quantities.
The order to buy was suddenly suspended.
The allegation has been made that the
wheat gamblers were buying at the depressed
price and selling to the co-operatives at the
guaranteed price of SIP per bushel.
AS one views the first experience of the
Farm Board in an effort to stabilize wheat
prices the old theory of supply and demand,

ton, than any other problem in the public
eye. Congressman, Senators, peace officers
and private individuals do not vote and act
as they drink.
The supposedly Republican majority in
the Senate has melted away and the coali-
ton majority are making the going as rough

FEAR IS NOT ENOUGH

The London naval conference of the most hope
full signs that war-weary world has had since the
armstice 1t indicates, plainly enough that the dread
of war is at last able to make itself felt in high places
a thing that was not true at all prior to 1914.
Yet the London conference is only part of the lob
that awaits the lovers of world peace. H. NJ. Tomn-
son, famous British novelist and correspondent
sums the situation up very clearly in recent state
ment.
"a fear of disaster he says. twill not save from
it. 1t is no good thinking holesome fear of

we want is positive desire for peace passionate it
is threatened that statesmen and dipomatsts will fear
the democracy more than they fear the wrath of
God.
LET them realize that means the march
of populace on its capital to prevent inquity
of the plague rats and smallpox.
LET make mistake about it. Reduction of
ornaments is not good enough. 1t is no good talking
that way in this of machines manned bv myriads
of organized craftsmen with their standardized opn-
ions. Airplanes and submarines to DESTROY homes and
cut off sea borne supplies can be made like fountain
pens when required. They can be even mechanically

vices.
"Let our governors know that not only do not
want war but desire peace do sunlight, and let
them understand that if we don't get it Americans
will attend drasticaly to Washington and Londoners
to the neighborhood of WHITEHALL and peace will then
be as natural to US as money is to bankers"
There is great deal of sense in that. The confer
is only half of the job After that it will be up to

ing of Chang Kai- Shek as
He Leads. Troops.
By the Associated Press.


SHANGHAI, May 3l.-The Ma
tionalist government, hard pressed by
the rebellious northern alliance troops
in Honan Province, is being harrasSed
elsewhere by bandit and Cornmunistic
armies, ravaging several provinces.
An ominouS silence was imposed to-
day on communications from the battle
front in Honan, where the rebels have
been fighting the government forces
since May 8 in an attempt to over
throw the Marking government and its
president, Chang Kai-Shek. The tide
of battle apparently turned Wednesday,
when the Northerners claimed they cap
tured $4,000 Nationalist and forced
the government troops to retreat.
Rumors that Chang Kai-Shek had
been wounded in the arm by a shell
fragment while leading the Nationalist
were ofhcially denied today by Nanking.
Taking advantage of the govern
ment's pre-occupation with rebel forces
in Honan, Communists pressed their
attack upon the city of Changchow, 80
miles west of Annoy in Fukien Province.
Terrorized, thousands of the populace
fed toward Annoy on the coast. A num-
Der of foreign missionaries were pre-
pared to follow momentarily.
All Nationalist officials of the city
quit their posts and a portion of the
government troops of the garrison joined
the Red attackers. The Standard Oil
Co.'S Chinese agent at Changchow is
reported to have been kidnapped, the
Reds demanding $500 ransom.
Meanwhile, the siege of Kanchow,
Kiangsi Province, by bandit -Commu-
nistic troops continued. Since early in
March more than a score of foreign
missionaries, 16 Of them American
Catholics, have been held in the city
by the outlaws besiegIng the city,s
walls.
