The State-Federal Agricultural Exten-

agents, advises that 114,24 Arkansas
farm families will need financial assist

Spring. The service estimates that

Quoted by county health workers in
rural Arkansas schools during Deem

cent of the school and pre-school chill

from malnutrition, compared with 10

These figures are considered more
eloquent in telling the story Of the dis

in this hardest hit Of affected States
than any clubbing over the extent of
the minor manifestation Of an exist
ing condition that occurred when a
group Of farmers got excited at Eng
land, Ark, last Saturday. At that
time, in England, the Red Cross pro-
vided rations for 500 men, according to
its statement, and storekeepers gave
supplies to others without reQuisitton
blanks.
In its effort to meet the problem Of
restitution through this State and in
Eastern Oklahoma, the Red Cross has
acted in more than one situation that
resembled in some features the demon
stration at England, 20 miles from here.

his home in st. Louis for the holiday,

Mr.. Evans wired that he would meet

the country's hootleggers and at the
same time beneft 10000 persons and

The booklet points out that the Vol
stead law does not prohibit fruit juices
in the home. It urges the support Of
the legal method of obtaining grape
beverages, both for the benefit of the
grape industry In relieving the surplus
production problem, and as a means of
taking the profit out of Illicit traffic In
alcoholic beverages.
The plan includes utilization Of part
Of the surplus grape crop in canned and
concentrated juices. The booklet says:
llC luAlAAtllChb VI Tic uSW pan Will
save a $3.50, 000, 900 industry from f1nan-
cial disaster. And in doing that, there
will be vast human benefits, continued

OTTAWA, Ontario, January g.
There is a feeling Of regret In
official circles here over the persistent
rumor that Col. j. Hanford MacNider,
American Minister to Canada, viii re-
linquish his post early next Summer
and return to the United States to
take leading part in the campaign
for the denomination and reelection of
President Hoover.
Col. MacNider has won many friends
in Canada in the short time that he
has been Minister and has been re-
garded as man of action rather than
a diplomat, although he is highly es-
teemed by the Bennett government.
1t Is expected that Col, MacNtder win
do his utmost before Summer to see
that Canada and the United States
agree on the development of the st.
Lawrence waterways scheme. It ID
known that Washington is prepared to
be generous and to carry out the entire
cost of the deepening of the interna-
tional section of the river.

WIFE OF LANGDON
CALLED TO INQUEST
IS Other Witnesses Sum-
moned to Appear at Probe
of Limerick Death.

Forty-six witnesses were subpoenaed
today to testify tomorrow at the inquest
into the killing Of 19-year -old Beulah
Limerick. Among those subpoenaed was
Mrs. Robert F. Langdon, wife Of the pa
trolman, who is being held for investi-
cation in connection with the shooting
of the girl.
More than half of those named on
the subpoenaes were investigating Of
ficials-an ambulance doctor, the dep
uty coroner, No. precinct officers,
headquarters detectives with their pho
tographers and identification experts.
The others are members of the girls
family and associates.
Police say Mrs. Langdon could not be
required to take the stand should she
feel her testimony would in any way
prejudice the case of her husband.
Evidence Given Hart.
Evidence Of the seizure of two dis
mantled stills in Langdon's home at
1882 Oates street northeast yesterday
afternoon was placed in the hands of
Assistant District Attorney David A..
Hart today by members of Inspector T.
r. Beans vice squad.
Hart held up charges until he could
investigate the legality of the police
search Of Langdon's home.
Hart explained he had one version
that a young colored girl allowed
police admission to the nome. If that
story Is true, Hart said, the search was
illegal.
Bean said at headquarters today he
was summoned to the residence yester-
day afternoon by Capt. Edward J.
Kelly, assistant chief of detectives, who
explained there was evidence of q still
at the home. Both Bean and Kelly, the
officers said, asked Mrs. Langdon If
they had her permission to search the
premises, and were assured they had.
After visiting the basement, Bean
went to United States Commissioner
Needham G. Turnage to ask search
warrant. He explained the circum-
stances and Turnage said that he felt
search warrant was Unnecessary.
Warrant Refused Earlier.
The homicide squad members ex-
planned they were admitted to the
Langdon home in the first place by the
consent of Mrs. Langdon.
Turnage said today that Sergt. John

to him Saturday for search warrant,
stating he had peeped through cellar
door into Langdon's basement and dis
covered suspicious looking barrels. At
that time Turnage refused a warrant
on the ground there was no evidence OF
sale of liquor.
Inspector Bean booked Langdon at
headquarters on charge of possession
of equipment designed for the manu-
facture of illegal beverages, shortly
after the stills were seized.
Their presence. in the basement of
the Langdon residence was discovered
by Lieut.. Kelly and Sergt. John Flaher-
ty, who had gone there to search for
guns in addition to the two rs caliber
automaticS already turned over to them
by Langdon.
In addition to the stills, one of rs
gallon capacity and the other about
third as large, the officers found 10
pistols and automatics of various makes
and sizes in the basement. Some were

Ovaltine is so processed that it con-

Quick Digestion

By breaking down the curds in the
milk, by dlgeSting the starches in the
stomach, Ovaltine speeds up digestion
and empties the stomach sooner. This
makes child hungry. For the sensa-
ton OF hunger is caused by the walls
OF an empty stomach pressing to-
gether, and hunger is the basis of
appetite. Child specialists will tell
you that usually when a child refuses
to eat, it is because he hasn't fully
digested his previous meal-"poor
eaters" invariably have slow digestion.
WrId-Wid Use
Ovaltine today is used in thousands of
hospitals and sanitariums. 1t is pre-
scribed by over 5000 doctors. 1t was
used as standard ration by the Red
Cross during the World War, for
nerve-shattered, shell-Shocked soldiers.
In short, it is time-tested.
For the sake of your child we urge YOU
to try it. Results will surprise you.
Note the almost immediate difference
IN your child's weight and nerve poise,
and In greater strength, energy and
appetite.
Give it at breakfast always. At meals
and between meals You can get Oval
tine at any drug or grocery store. Or,
send the coupon for 3-day test.
