Raymond on Fish Diet
Since Markuson's Bull
Calf Was Stolen, Killed

= Fish peddlers are doing a
= lively business in Raymond
: these days and the natives
= who were hitherto partial to
: flesh meats now dine almost
exclusively on the finny tribe.
This development is the af-
termath of the accident to AK
ell Markuson's bull calf which
was stolen from a livery stable
at Raymond and afterwards
found in pieces, distributed
around the vicinity by under
sheriff Robert Smith, sleuth
of no mean ability.
When Smith assembled the
corpus deficit and pronounced
it a. dead calf, he noticed that
several hairs were missing
from the carcass. To see was
to think and to think was to
act.
Thereupon Bob accused the
first person he met of having
stolen the calf because he
found hair on his wagon. Of
course the accused did not
plead guilty like some bootleg
gers do and throw himself on
the mercy of the court. He
talked in several languages,
each tongue being perfectly
understandable to the UNDER
sheriff.
Afraid Of being accused of
robbery, mayhem and cattle
rustling, the good citizens of
Raymond are now leaning
backwards in their desire to
be right with the law. Mes
has become a terror to them.
Should Smith walk in on a
table groaning under the
= weight of beef steak they
fear they may be accused Of
crime and forthwith taken to
jail. Hence the bull market on
fish.
$ P. S. This is no "fish
= story" It is almost true.

"A larger PrOduCtlOn would
increase the return of the
basic industry of the Nation
and, in consequence, would
bring about help to the 9TH
er industries, Sen. Brook
hart maintained. In this
connection he urged means
for financing and handling
of the exportable surplus of
farm PRODUCTS.
Control Said to Be Impossible.
The present law creating the
Federal Farm Board never could
have passed on the theory that it
was going to reduce agricultural
production, declared the Senator.
The law does not call for reduc-
ton, he pointed out. He declared
further that it is physically i'm
possible to control agricultural
production"
Although temporary surplus of
farm commodity could be taken
care of, continuous overproduction
over period of years would de-
feat the purposes of sterilization,
according to an oral statement by
Alexander Legge, chairman, Fed
eral Farm Board, on Jan. 10.
Board Will Make Loans.
Statements issued by the FEEDER
al Farm Board that growers of
certain commodities should consid-
er their total planting next year
may be taken as in the nature of
advice. If the farmers continue to
Overproduce, he said, these state
ments of the Board may tend to
become warnings. The Board, he
announced, will not refuse to make
loans in case of overproduction,
