farm boards campaign for a Is per

voiced here today before the insti-

If the wheat acreage could be cut

is no guarantee that the farmers
of the United States would benefit,
and certainly the nation as a whole
would lose heavily by the readjust-

The basic difficulty In agriculture
today, he said, is that farmers have

HERMIT DOUBLE
DIES IN VICTORY
Expires After FooIing Even
Movie Magnates.

Blu United Press
HOLLYWOOD, Aug. Tone of
the score or more old men whose
aim in life is to double for Peter
the Hermit, known to all of the
Hollywood movie colony, accom-
plished his ambition Wednesday
night, but died in doing it.
Hollywood police, called to the
movie center, found an aged man
with flowing white beard, no shoes
and ragged clothing, dead of heart
failure.
The body was taken to the city
morgue and word given out that
Peter the Hermit had died at the
age of 80.
Pictures of Peter compared with
the victim showed the same clas-
steal features that caused movie
magrates to offer the hermit roles
as Roman senators or distinguished
scientists.
AS the news circulated, acquaint-
ances of the hermit appeared at the
morgue. A dozen of them voted 10
to 2 against the death of Peter. Of
ficials then announced that even
though casting directors demanded
the original Peter or none at all
they had been fooled by one of his
doubles.
Peter, who apparently still is
sound of body in his mountain re-
treat back of Hollywood, came to
the movie colony twenty years ago.

$4,000 To Be

State viii Be Called Upon

VINCENNES, Ind, Aug. Con
struction of additional safeguards
to the Brevoort levee, south of this
city, at a cost of $4,000, has been
approved by the association COM
posed of landowners whose property
is protected by this dixie.
Methods of financing the con-
struction have not been fully out
lined.
The proposed work would raise
the leyee to withstand thirty foot
stage and strengthen it to with
stand floods like that of last jan
uary.
A special committee has been ap-
pointed to work with Attorney
General James M. Ogden on meth
DDS whereby the state may be called
upon to aid in financing the prof.
ect.
Bridge Is Dam
The $4,000 estimate, it is shown,
would take in twenty-one miles OF
levee along the Wabash, nine miles
on White river, and six on River
Deshee.
It has been pointed out that the
Hazelton bridge approach dams up
much water during flood times and
because of this, the state should aid
in financing the improvement.
The Brevoort levee was completed
fourteen years ago and in that time
has battled much high water. Some
times the water has rested for weeks
against the ramparts.
Breaks Repaired
Record waters of January, which
exceed in height all other floods by
one and three-tenths feet, caused
$50 feet of the levee to go out on
White river, and similar sized
break on the PlaSa ditch.
These breaks have been repaired
at a cost of $4,000.
The strain of the January flood
is beginning to tell on certain points
which are in need of immediate at
tention.
The entire levee needs strength
ening by slabbing and the height
should be increased because this
years inundation showed than an
other foot of water would have
caused the torrent to come over the

FRICTION MAY !

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Aug. r.
A growing friction in the south
western Indiana coal fields is caus-
ing grave concern over the possi-
bility of outbreaks in the near fu-
ture.
Much mine idleneSs and crop fall
ures in this area have tended to in
crease the friction between the two
rural mine unions.
The insurgent group led by former
officials of the Illinois group of the
United Mine Workers is said to be
both the agent of the communists
and the mine operators.
They are charged with attempting
to negotiate wage contracts below
the scale asked by the United Mine
Workers, which is a continuation
of the 1929 scale and identical to
that now in force in Illinois and
higher than in Ohio.
Attacks upon the insurgents de-
clare that the latter are opposed
to the U. M. w. A. because it is
too conservative.
The insurgents counter with the
statements that the attacks being
directed against them are made be-
cause the present organization is
attempting to save John l.. Lewis,
international president of the U. M.
w. A. from being ouSted.
Repercussions are expected to re-
suit from the kidnapping of Joseph
Claypool, insurgent organizer from
his home at Shelburn by five men
last week.
Claypool was found tarred and
feathered at West Union, ILL.,, the
next day.
Insurgent retaliation for the at
tack is feared and raid from across
the river lead by Herrin, ILL.,, miners
is expected.
Complete investigation of the
charges of communist domination
were made last year by a reporter
for the Indianapolis Times, who
learned that the personnel of the
new organization in the Indiana
field is in the main composed of
Scotch and British miners.
