though three Governors of Southern
States yesterday turned down Gov.
Huey p. Longs proposal for the farmers
TO raise no cotton next year as q price
stabilizer, Gov. Long at Baton Rouge

assured of Overwhelming" support.
The Louisiana chief executive Is
asking Governors, lieutenant governors,
Representatives and Senators from the
cotton growing States to meet in New
orleans Friday to discuss his plan to
ask the several legislatures TO rule out
cotton next year and regulate produc-
ton. Tonight. he said he had nearly
hundred kilograms in general favoring
the move.
The Endorsements, he said, came from
officials, brokers, organizations and
people in all walks Of life over the
country.
Among those who Endorsed the move
ment were Gov Blackwood of South
Carolina, Senator Fletcher of Florida
and Senator Broussard Of Louisiana.
Cows. Bilbo of Mississippi, Horton of
Tennessee and Miller of Alabama, de-
scribed the proposal as unavoidable and
unfair to the farmer.

Ga, and Shreveport, La. Representa-
tives of Shreveport banks also tele-
graphed the cotton States governors,

Sanico Bakery Controls the Rising

Tn the vernacular of home folks,
this process is called rising" In
the parlance of Sanico Bakers it is

process in the entire method of
making high quality Sanico Bread.
The dough loaves are banned"
and confined in a heavily insulated
room where they are kept a fixed
period OF time in a temperature of
from 90 to 05 degrees F. and rela-

ny the Associated Press.
The flood devastating many miles OF
the richest agricultural and industrial
area of China was described today by
State Department officials as one of the
worst in the history OF that disaster
ridden country.
While most Americans are ignorant
OF what Is taking place, State Depart
ment experts familiar with China realize
millions of those on the other side CT
the world now are suffering from a
major catastrophe In the rich Yangtze
Valley.
Rich Area Stricken.
Chinese experts In the department
estimated, on the basis of reports reach
ing here, that around 10000 square
miles of land are partially or entirely
covered by the great flood.
The stricken territory, they said, in
ciudes some of the most prosperous In
China and Is thickly populated Several
of China's most modern industrial
cities are In the area.
Hankow, where the American con-
sulate is located, Is one OF the largest
cities In China and one of the chief
ports. Together with the neighboring
cities of Wuchafig and Hanyang, 1t has
population estimated at from LOCO, 600
to 100000 persons.
Epidemic Feared.
Walter A. Adams, American consul
general at Hankew, has reported an
epidemic, possibly of cholera and
typhoid, seemingly inevitable. Bodies
of the dead are lying unattended, he
said, and are becoming serious menace
to health. Foreign consuls have re-
quested the commanding Chinese gen
eral to use the army to burn the bodies
and furnish food to destitute refugees.
Many have died from exposure.
Adams estimated that 100000 refu-
gees were crowded into the three neigh
boring cities. He said authorities were
unwilling to estimate the number OF
millions Of people" made dependent and
homeless.

Several months ago, DR.. Miller went
to india and supported Gandhi in his
campaign OF passive resistance against
the British. He also has been con-
sistent advocate of optional, instead OF
compulsory military training, at the
university.
The committee said 1t had exonerated
Dr. Miller OF all charges made by the
trustees and recorded its conviction that
personal anirnus" on the part OF "one
or two members of the board of trus-
tees, was solely responsible for the
arbitrary action"
Nothing IN the report was favorable
to the stand taken by the trustees and
the university administration. On the
other hand the board and President G.
w. Rightmire were charged with bad
faith.
Full Justice Promised.
President Rightmire, the report said,
had told Dr. Miller last october that
the charges would be fairly investigated

And now that all the talk OF
pleasure cars is over, it's worth
while to devote a little space to Sec
ond-hand trucks, and we'll let L. G.
White, manager of the General
Motors Truck Company, review and
forecast little for used truck buy
ers. Says Mr.. White:
while the year 1880 was not as
productive from standpoint of new
truck sales, it was productive from
a standpoint of used truck sales. It
also afforded an interesting study in
the type of used trucks sold and the
class of organizations who purchased
this secondhand equipment.
Sold to Companies
"Our analysis shows that quite a
large percentage of these trucks
we're sold to representative COM
pa11ies, and 1t proved. to our salts
faction, at least, that these COM
panieS were convinced that there
was such a thing as secondhand
truck which still had a considerable
mileage value.
There has been ali impression
existing, perhaps justly, in the
minds of many people, that Sec
ond-hand motor truck was second
hand and unproductive, because it
was a wornout vehicle.
I'm our oyn case we developed a
plan in 1880 whereby all second
hand trucks were completely in
spected by our service department
before accepting them in trade, and
if these units involved any invest
ment on our part, they Immediately
we're put through our shop as
quickly as they became OUR prop
erty.
"They then were placed on our
salesroom floor and shown to those
people interested in their exact
condition.
