HALLOWEEN FRANKS

After a rather quiet Halloween
like the one which we have just had,
one always hears some of the older
folks tell of the things that happen
ed when they were girls aud boys"
,As l have listened to these remin-
iscences, 1 have just about decided
that after all Halloween customs
don't change very much. For in
stance, not long ago, one Of the late
business men of Milford told me
that one Halloween he, with an
other boy, went out into a mans
pumpkin field and cut faces on ev-
cry one of the pumpkins in the
whole field. Perhaps, no boy in the
year 1880 would want to work that
hard for his fun; but we venture to
bet that if the boys had been
caught, the chastisement would
have been the same yesterday and
today.
Other things. that the boys used
to do were, remove dOorsteps-
sometimes, thus causing serious
falls,-change gates, and frighten
people by pulling tick-tacks.
According to their own stories,
the girls of yesterday weren't an
gels either. One night several
girls dressed a broom in a sheet.
They carried the broom up to a
door and placed it there. One of the
girls rang the bell, then all hid. The
owner of the house happened to be
one of the crankiest old women in
town. When she opened the door the
white object fell into her dark hall
way. Terrified, she called for help.
Imagine her chagrin and anger
when the person who had answered
her call for help told her that the
ghost was only a broom!

Library Circulation
Is On The Increase

During the last month 483 books
have been put in circulation through
our school library. This is 1853
more books than circulated last
month. Book reports should soon be
finished if all these books are read.

ANOTHER PIANO

Because of another evidence of
the generosity of Mrs. Marshall
Townsend, we now have two pianos
at the new school; one located in
Mr.. McGinnes' room, where Glee
Club practice is held during lunch
hour, and the other in the Assembly
Hall, where it may be used for mass
meetings. The second piano was
brought over from the old school,
but was replaced there by the one
given us by Mrs. Townsend.

Margaret Hazard, of Section 81
brought to school this week a Chi
nese apple and very generously gave
each member of the class a piece.
Everyone seemed to enjoy the 'lit-

we all wished for a digger taste"

WHEAT SOLVING
I. ITSPROBLENS,
|. LEGGE CLAIMS
Federal Farm Board Chairman
Declares Feeding of Grain
to Livestock Aids Market

The solution to the wheat situ-
alton is working out all along.
Chairman Legge of the Federal
Farm Board said today. The feed
ing of wheat to lives stock is doing
it, he added.
Legge declared there was still
no limit of the amount of wheat
which the Grain Sterilization
Corp. can buy in connection with
it's stabilization operations.
Russian Wheat Early
Russia has shipped about 50,-
900, 900 bushels of wheat so far
this year. These shipments came
a little quicker than were ex-
pected. He said when questioned
as to whether the export Of
American tractors was responsible
for Russia's entry to the market
Legge replied he still clung to the
idea that Russia gets better re-
suits from their old.fashioned
methods.
Legge said receipts of wheat
have been coming in light to pri-
mary markets. Referring again to
feeding of wheat he pointed out
that it had been announced in
Kansas that it was estimated that
100000 bushels of wheat would
be fed in that state. If this ratio
held for the rest of the country
it would do away with a substan-
tial portion of the surplus.
Corn Duty Asked
A duty of 371ac per Lushel on
corn would just about cover the
spread between Buenos Aires and
United States prices, Chairman
Legge said in turning to the prob
lens of that grain.
The coarse grain commodity
advisory committee in report to
the Farm Board recommended
that tariff commission look into
advisability of raising the duty so
per cent on corn from 25 to 37h
cents a bushel.
The situation in regard to
Canada is not so big a problem
as corn shipments have been
coming from Canada into the
New England States but these
are small, Legge said.
The Washington times., 1930-11-22
Economist Attacks Farm
Board ''Gambling"

This puts the Canadian situa.
ton in a serious plight. The
banks find the price Of wheat
below their loan figure. The
provincial governments must
make up any losses. More than
that, thousands of merchants find
their farmer customers unable to
meet their bills.
Canada has been trying to hold
wheat at 10 cents. Now it is
below so cents. 1t is no wonder
that the co-operatives and local
governments are frantically seek
ing relief.
In this country. we find the
Farm Board again buying more
millions of bushels in the Chi.
cago market, in another effort
to check the decline. OF course,
they are using our money.
A Big Problem
They are trying to peg the
price at 73 cents in Chicago.
That is at least Is cents above
the Canadian market. Naturally
we can't sell our wheat in the
world market at a figure so far
out of line. We can't use it. our
selves. We can't sell 1t at the
pegged price. What are We 60
ing to do with it?
Probably a few million bushels
more than usual will be fed to
live stock. We may dump" some
at a low price land a heavy loss
to us) in Italy or France. That
will give live stock the benefit
of a wheat diet and help Ttal-
ians to lower their living costs.
But so far, it looks like you and
I are losing the money that the
Farm Board has gambled with in
its attempt to keep prices up. Our
daily bread, too. will cost us more
than it costs other peoples.
Discomfort q Menace
Yet the farmer seems to be no
better off, and farm discomfort is
a serious political menace
Perhaps the farmers I,ave been
helped somewhat. Perhaps this
last gamble of the Farm Board on
73-cent wheat will be more sue
cessful than the earlier one. Let
us hope so.
But have we not had enough of
the Government as a grain specu-
lator? Have we not learned the
futility of fighting the law of sup
ply and demand?
