 Sword blades sfashed and pirate duels were fought to the death. Be- meath those mangoes nine unmarked mounds testify that the dead were buried where they fell. Hallowed ground could not sepulchre those who followed the black flag.
 On certain nights the Cuban sky is marked by what the "Pineros' term "El Camino de Santiago" or the road of St. James It is a sort of Milky Way, and when it appears, the mango grove is avoided by the country folk.

SCHWAb SALARY
 Sl5O,0OO A YEAR
Straight Set Payment Paid
 Bethlehem Chairman

Youngstown, O., July 31 P- Charles M. Schwab receives a straight salary of sl50.000 a year as chairman of the board of the Beth lehem Steel Corporation and does not participate in the bonus system. 1t was revealed today in the suit to enjoin merger of the Youngstown Sheet & Tube company with the Bethlehem Corporation.
 Defense attorneys brought out testimony to refute an implication that the Youngstown steel firm de- pressed it's 1929 earnings and assets.
 Tells of Large Loss
 William N. Mcdonald, comptrol- Ter of the Sheet 65 Tube company, testified on direct examination that a large loss in 1929 was charged to a contingent reserve fund, but could have been properly charged to profit and loss.
 The loss occurred, he said, in the Continental Supply company, a sub sidiary of the steel firm.
 In 1928 he said, Continental loss was charged against the earnings. Asked why the procedure changed. be said the company desired to make a better showing. Attorneys for the Cyrus E. Eaton interests, which brought the injunc- tion suit as stockholders Of the Youngstown company, had attempt ed to show that the company made extraordinary charges to profit and loss in it's financial report preceding the contract to merge with Bethle- hem.
 Claim Other Interests
 They have charged that officers of the Youngstown company had inter ests other than those of their stock holders when they negotiated the merger, and that these other inter- rsts caused them to accept a con- tract, the terms of which were sun- fair to their own firm.
 An effort also was made to show that the Youngstown company de- pressed it's assets by extraordinary write-of. This was denied.

FORD CRITICISM ON
 CROPS IS ANSWERED
Farm Board Member Cites Manufacturers Own Practices

Columbia, Mo. July 31 UP)- Henry Ford's criticism of the fed eral farm board because of it's cam paign for reduction of crop acreages was answered today by c. B. Den man, member of the board, in a speech before the 11th annual con- ference of vocational agriculture teachers at the Missouri College of Agriculture.
 Henry Ford is one of our most successful business men" Denman said. He recently criticized the fed eral farm board for urging a pro- duction program for agriculture bas- ed on economics, facts and a pos pective profit for farmers.
 "At the time MT. Ford criticized us, his factories were operating on part time and he does not hesitate to shut down and see his employees idle if it promises a profit later. l wonder if it would be any more of a crime if we taught our future farmers to study their markets and supply them with what is needed as profit"
 Farming today, Denman said, is not profitable. and does not yield enough for farmers to live as we'll as those in other industries, pointing out that the farm board was author ized to finance holding of crops when there is a surplus, Denman said:
 The doctrine of producing two blades of grass where one grew be- fore is great in theory, but I solicit your cooperation in keeping that extra blade out of the show win dows and off the markets until we can sell the first blade at profit"
