FEW INDIVIDUAL
FARMERS

In 1880 the collective farm MEM
bers planted 10,468 acres and the
individual farmers (there were
only a few 521 acres. The gross
income from the collective farm
fields in 1880 was $125,OOO In
round figures. The net income
was $4,000. The collective farm
disposes of a large capital. We
had received $22,5O0 in credits at
the time we organised, and we
paid back $14,5OO in 1880. Our cul-

French Munitions for Attack
on Soviet Union

Paris October 13.-During the first eight
months of the present year the French munitions
and armament manufacturers have shipped out
materials of 66,2S1,OO francs (about $2,651,-
OO0) in value greater than for the same period
last year.
Figures issued today show that in the period
this year exports of "arms, powder and munitions"
tOtaled 124, 857 900 francs, as compared with S.
$4,000 francs during the first eight months of
last year
While French exports as a whole have de-
clined those to Japan have increased The in
creased French exports to Japan covered raw ma
teEials and articles useful in case of war, such
as machines machine parts, medical and chemical
products and scientific apparatus. There no
ornaments listed for Japan in these figures which
only private exports. If the French Gov
eminent is sending arms directly to Japan the
figures would not show in this list.
The chief items of French arms exports show
ing increases are portable arms, which from
2764,0OO francs in value, 355 tons in quantity,
to 9yO51 900 francs, or 102 tons. Heavy arms
jumped from 1S,O56,O0O francs, or 1877 tons, to
8S,O5O,OOO, or 1,O17.7 tens.

Rumania YugOslavia and Poland allies
-: of France with smaller increases to Ar
gentfna China and to certain French
colonies. Rumania during August received
more than 100000 francs worth of arms.
The figures also show that Out of
nearly 100000 francs worth of experts
to RumaSnia more than 23,OOO,OOO, or Is
per cent involved arms exports. In 1881
arms shipments came 30 only IS per cent
of the total shipments to Rumania-
Of the total exports to YugOslavia
this year more than 16 per cent were OF
ornaments as compared with virtually
no such shipments in 1881.
While the total value of arms exports In the
eight months is listed as nearly 125OOO,O0O francs
a check on the individual items under all coun-
tries gives total of only 1O4,0OOO0O.
The conclusion from this is that the French
capitalists have exported these additional 21,0OO
600 francs of war materials 10 some spot which
they do not wish to reveal
They have probably been provided for use
against the Soviet Union even more directly thar

Profiteerimg b The Co..
ermmemt At The Expense
Of The Veterans Must
Be Stopped, He Says.

Henry L. Stevens, Jr., national COM
mander of the American Legion, has
called for a reduction in the interest
rate charged by the federal govern
ment on adjusted compensation certifi-
cate loans, declaring the present rate
was excessive.
The government borrowed the mon
ey to make the loans at from one to
2 IL per cent, he said, and was charg-
ing war veterans 4 IL per cent, max
ing a profit of about 2 IL per cent.
"Profiteering by the government at
the expense of veterans must stop"
he said, land this present period of
depression is the proper time to stop
it,"
He suggested the rate be cut to two
per cent Or eliminated entirely.
Stevens also denounced as "outrag-
eous" proposals to reduce veterans hos
pital costs.

Oklahoma. Stronghold of the Prohibition Stand, Wavering on the Brink Because of Hoover Straddle Plank

the past 50 days Mir Hoover has gained somewhat in popular sym pathy at the expense of congress -the idea being that perhaps MT Hoover had had more to offer.
 Graham Johnson, who used to call signals for Benny Owne's football team about the time of the war and who now discounts the paper of time-payment automobile buyers, predicts a general slaugh- ter of congressional incumbents.
 Any democrat can be elected president" he told the United Press. but not many congress- men are going to be reelected"
 Like the banker, Johnson sees in the repeal of prohibition a source of urgently needed revenue. That attitude seems to be pretty general. And 1t should be remem- bcred that this state is veteran of prohibition-came into the un- ion in 1907 as dry state. Old timers still tell how the guttcrs around the new state brewery in Oklahoma City were flushed with amber brew, sacri zee to state hood.

LEGION CREATE
 A JOB CAMPAIGN

/. The campaign is now in full swing and Is showing good results by the first returns.
 This is a civic proposition which should be encouraged by every good citizen.
 Now is the time to get that job you have been deferring completed at lower cost than 1t will be possible to obtain 1t later on.
 It will be to the advantage of, everyone to do 1t now.
 If you have any repairs, odd jobs, new buildings to be erected or old ones to be repaired get them completed during the next three months.
 Have you any rooms to be pa- pered or painted or any plumbing installations or repairs?
 Report them on your pledge card when the solicitor calls on you.
 Any deferred purchases should be made now to obtain the best prices and assist in creating work for some one.
 It is the duty of every resident of this city to get back of this drive not to pledge money, nor charity, just job that will raise some fel- lows spirits from zero.
 This Is no time for procrastina- tion.
 Look about you and you will see the great necessity for immediate action.
 Think of what you can do to as- sist those that are less fortunate by creating a job. Be the job large or small 1t will help some unfortunate man, wo- man or child. You may hire anyone you wish. All details regarding wages and work to be done will be arranged by agreement between the person creating the job and the person hired.
 If you have no one in mind. call headquarters 3-2708 and we will inform you where to get competent help to do your job.
 Do not forget our job Is to get more men and women working. thereby helping the less fortunate among us as well as the persons signing pledges. You spend this money yourself where you wish, with whom you wish and for what you wish.

No Friction Past
 Year; Progress l Has Been Marked
Superintendent Expresses Appreciation for Co-opera. ' ton Accorded Him Points to Continued Era oi
 & Good Feeling

But on the the whole we have been c m ? a atively prosperous and happy. We have seen educational departments in other cities badly shaken up at the same time in which none of our lines have been broken.
 It is almost startling to note in the press the pictures of the big groups of graduates. in our high schools and our grades. Even the pictures of our successful pupils have filled whole pages of the newspapers; while the long lists of those who are promoted are repre- sentative of a goodly percentage or all the races of mankind.
 As we come to the end of the year, then, we have reason to con- gratulate ourselves on the fact that we have accomplished so much. That Era of Good feeling of which I have elsewhere fre- uuently spoken is not a mere in- cident in our annals. To my knowl- edge 1t has continued for more than a generation as historians reckon time. Before we leave then for the rest and peace of the long vacation. l wish to pay tribute to the good will of all associated with me in the big task of conducting our schools. I trust that vacation may be Q time of happiness for you all. May all return for the tasks of another year with renewed hope and vigor.

 We are nearing the end of an- other successful year. As we look back over our work we have many reasons to be thankful. The ma chinery of the department has run with it's usual smoothness and des- patch. There has been no friction of any kind and we have found ourselves moving onward with the tasks set to our hands and hearts swith the usual efficiency and with admirable and friendly coopera- tion.

RELIEF MEASURE A MAY BE PASSED | BY THE SENATE
Some Kind of a Bill May | Get By To-day = That May End Congress By

7 Washington, June 21.-(UP)- Possibility that the senate might dispose of the troublesome relief ma economy issues to-day brought hope for adjournment of congress by the end of the week.
 The $2.00o, o,0oo.O00 democratic relief program entered It's third Nay of debate with host or per. fecting amendments agreed to ana decisive votes approaching on its controversial aspects.
 The $150,000,000 government economy measure was expected to receive final and swift approvaI. The house yesterday acceded to the administration plan, prev,ousN adopted by the senate, of reducing Hhe federal payroll by putting em- Enloyes on a. five-day week basis Hnstead of directly reducing wage scales.
 Insurgents headed by Senator lIaFollette, repn, Wis. were ready flor a showdown on the $5,6OO'- lOoO, 900 public works bond issue which they propose to susstitute for the relief program backed Dy senate democratics.

RIOTS IN CHILE HAVE TAKEN THE

 Santiago, Chile, June 21.-UP) -Rioting in Santiago had caused 25 deaths and 75 injuries in the capitals streets today and bak- ers' strike threatened % cut off the city's bread supply as the socialist government ordered strict martial law.
 Groups of extremists attacked Carabinero stations in both san tiago and Valparaiso early today, causing reports of even more cas-. ualties. Regular troops were sent to Valparaiso to- aid the CaraDin- eros. .
 United States Ambassador Will liam s. Cuibertson asked the gov ernment of Carlos c. Davila to pro- vide greater protection for United states citizens and interests after 5000 men went on strike at the Braden copper mines.
 A mob stormed an arsenal on the outskirts of the city. but was re- pulsed. Serious rioting also oc- cured at Valparaiso.
 A decree outlawing communism declaring propagandists of com. munism to be enemies of the re- public, and establishing drastic penalties, for such propagandists was prepared and awaited sigma ture by the mmebers of the Junta.
 The opposition to the govern ment came from labor and mill. tary clements which supported Col Marmaduke Grove, dominant hg- ure in the recent junta overthrown last week by a counter-revolt. Col Grove and his aides were sent to prison on an island 400 miles off the Chilean coast.
 The rioting was the most serious since the overthrow of the Ibanez dictatorship. Machine guns were mounted on the balconies and grounds of the presidential palace.
 The streets of Santiago were cleared by Carabineros and ma chine gun patrols early today and the government appeared to have the upper hfsnd. The government designated bread commission which will have charge of baking and distributing bread if the strike of the bakers continues.
 The opposition by labor unions caused a day of wild excitement. Striking street car workers at- tackled several cars, and burned them in the streets. Cavalry and ! infantry patrols made repeated charges to .disperse hostile gath | erings. Merchants pulled down iron shutters over their windows. Citizens retreated to their homes. The government arrested 32 members of the Buin regiment. | most of them non-commissioned | officers, on charges of plotting a subversive movement. News of the l arrests quickly, spread and became the subject of extremist agitation. 1 I Slaughter house workers were
 scheduled to, strike. today. joining tramway men. bakers. and em- ployes of the Braden Copper com

There are lot of reasons for this dissection of delegates. One Is that 1t gives 0 lot of voices to make noise for q favorite candidate. Another is that 1t assures good seats and all privileges of the conven- ton. to a. large number of faithful servitors of the party.
 But it all presents problem for the convention management. Tho convention floor will only seat about 5000 people. If delegates and al- ternates werg not split into frac- tions, there would be plenty of seats. But when they begin splitting them up, there soon arises prob lem as to where to put the frac- tions.
 While the republicans were here a modest amount of bunting deco rated the city. It was special bunt- ing made for the occasion with a sober looking elephant on 1t. Now that bunting has all come down and in its place democratic bunting Is going up. It carries instead of an elephant a donkey seated upon his haunches giving vent to a horse laugh. The democrats already have more bunting in the hotel Hobbies than the republicans did at the height of their festicities and they haven't gone to work on the lamp posts yet. Ds
