CARROLLTON, H., Dec. II. U.P)
A genial sort of a gentleman far
mer, but not lacking in practical
knowledge as to all angles of the
farm problem and possessed Of
possible clue to the solution of de-
preston, Henry T. Rainey, new
Democratic leader in the house Of
representatives, is looked upon by
his fellow toWnsfolk as one poll
tician who will make the country
sit up and take notice.
Rainey, a veteran congressman
with a record of 13 terms behind
him, a record which was broken
but once and that during the
Harding landslide in 1920, is hailed
as a man who will lead the way
to solution of many problems.
just what kind of q person this
man who has been selected by the
Democrats to take up the gage of
battle in the lower house of con-
gress is, might best be disclosed by
what two most famous fellow
townsmen, one a Democrat and the
other a Republican, have TO say
about him.

They'll find no wishy-washiness
about Henry" says Norman l..
Jones, Democratic member of the
Illinois state supreme court, and

NEW DEMOCRATIC LEADER IN
HOUSE IS EXPERT FARMER

HE is a real farmer" says S. E.
Pierson, former banker and Re-
publican director of the state de-
partment of agriculture. "He knows
farming thoroughly. He owns his
own farm and lives on it. 1t is
one of the finest farms in this
part of the state"
Rainey is a man whose life rec
ord shows versatility.
His father and grandfather were
farmers, but he chose law. He
went to Amherst college, Massa-
chusetts, the same school which
Calvin Coolidge and the late
Dwight Morrow attended. There.
before he graduated in 1888, he
was champion heavyweight boxer
and ran the 100-yard dash in 1872.
Leaving Amherst, he went to
Union college Of law at Chicago
from which he graduated in 1885
and was admitted to the bar in
1886.
He practiced law fol some years
but of late has ben occupied In
farming His farm is this flat az
ricultural and typical rural section
of Illinois.
His home is his pride and he
has INDUCED himself IN several
hobbies. principally flowers.
He has a thorough knowledge as
to problems which confront farm
ers today His ability both as a
practical farmer and as an au-
thority on farming is we'll estab-
lished in Illinois. He was given
official recognition some years ago

Like most farmers in this Sec

gagged in dairy farming, and makes
quite extensive shipments to the

Klmmel, former chairman of the board,
and William A. easier, former sales
manager
The jury had spent nearly 81 hours
in actual deliberation.
Inc jurors said they never considered
the remaining two counts in the indict-
ment because they were too technical

GASOLINE CONSUMPTION
INCREASE IN 1880 SHOWN
Sc Per Cent More Used Than In
1929, Bureau of Mines
Reports.

Preliminary statistics Of Oil operations
last year, issued by the United states
Bureau Of Mines, indicate that the
domestic consumption Of gasoline IN
creased by So per cent over that In
1929.
The increase, however, was at q re-
duced rate, comparing with q gain Of
1872 per cent in 1929 over 1928. A
similar record is shown in gasoline ex-
ports, which increased 5.3 per cent over
those in 1929, in comparison with O
gain of 1876 per cent the previous year.
Due to general curtailment at re-
f1neries during the latter part Of the
year, with operations down to 50 per
cent in December, the lowest in years,
the production OF gasoline was rela.
lively only slightly beyond that In 1929.
Imports, on the other hand, increased
to 1927 900 barrels from 1854, 900 IN
1929 and 4,198,000 in 1928. This was
largely a change in form, however,
since the importation of crude oil, prin-
cipally from Venezuela, recorded O re-
duction to 62,129,000 barrels from
1888 900 barrels In 1929
