GUIDE BOOKS FOR THE TRIP

ABROAD.
For those planning trip abroad this
year the Public Library calls attention
to the following books:
Baedekers.
The tourist and his Baedeker have
been the butt of many jokes, but there
can be no doubt that the little red vol
umes are almost indispensable on a first
trip, and they are particularly useful to
the independent tourist who attempts to
make his own hotel, railway and
steamer reservations. The central build
ing has reference copies Of all the
Baedakers listed, is ordering circulating
copies and has some older editions Of
comparatively recent date now on hand
for circulation. The Mount Pleasant
branch circulates all copies.

PROTESTS $4,000
FARM BOARD SALARY
Representative Schafer Tells Wood
Counsel for U. S. Body Gets More
Than Cabinet Members.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A protest against paying a 10000
salary to the general counsel of the
Farm Board was made in a letter today
to Representative Wood, chairman of
the last House Appropriations Commit
tee, by Representative Schafer.
The Wisconsin Republican incloSed a
letter from Chairman Stone of the
board stating that Stanley Reed, for
merly of Maysville, Ky, was appointed
counsel in November, 1929, at a salary
of $4,000 which has since been doubled.
IF this salary raise in these times of
depression IS a sample of the way The
Farm Board eXpends the many millions
of dollars of the taxpayers money, y
Schafer said, Il would suggest that you
eonfine your efforts in your drive for
economy toward the adjustment OF
such board"
Schafer said this salary was greater
than that of cabinet officer, and sug-
gested abolishment of the board was
preferable to reducing salaries of low
paid Federal employees who are now
barely receiving enough compensation
for their services to keep the body and
soul of themselves and their families
together"
mo doubt" he said "a complete and
thorough investigation of the entire
pay roll of the Federal governmental
departments will reveal just as many
other high salaries almost as indie
feasible as this one"

and farmers sought exact facts on the

that 100000 bales of cotton were

However, the board has never ques-
toned closely the statement that the
Grain Sterilization Corporation bought
at least 275,000, 900 bushels On July
/ it had 250,000,000. Since then ap-
proximately 75,000,00 have peen sold,
leaving between 175,000,000 and $780,

AS for loans to co-operatives, board
members say in their speeches that
$500, 000,0 900 has been advanced, of
which $170,000,000 has been repaid,
leaving a balance outstanding of $780,
100000. The boards treasury now has
an unincumbered balance Of about
$60,0O0,OOO.
The annual report with official fig
ures supplanting all the guesswork, will
form the background Of the coming
