The conference, operating under

that improvement continued into

and that general sentiment con-
tinues to favor at least the arrest

coming months. "
Some Improvement is usual at
this time of the year as result of
fall demands. This year, however,
the Improvement appears to be
more than normal. II is difficult
to analyze the persistence of the
trend now established. because a
small gain from the low levels in
July still leaves business far below
normal.
Arguments for continued I'M
proyement are found principally in
underlying factors. such as the
comparative stoppage Of bank
failures, ease Of credit. disappear

would fall. firming and rising ten

more hopeful sentiment. Increases
in business activity at previous
periods in the depression have been
more extensive than at present. but

the factors mentioned here were
unsatisfactory.

manifestation by this alleged
wrath from the ether world, from
which all nnkind ghosts are said to
come from. but nothing doing.

LORD
REGISTERS KICK
ONROAMINC COWS
CLAIMS PLANT LIFE IN YARD
OF HOME RUINED; TAKE
MATTER UP WITH COUNCIL
AND COMMISSIONERS

Attorney Raymond Lord is hav-
ing plenty of trouble in preserving
the appearance of his home on the
boulevard, due to the fact that
cows eat his palms, flowers and
shrubbery.
Mr.. Lord says he deplores this
condition and having done all in
his power to secure protection, is
seeking satisfaction from the city
council and the county commits
sioners.
To this end he has sent COM
munication to both bodies in which
he pleads for some surcease of this
annoyance which not only de-
stroys the appearance of his home
and surroundings but costs a great
deal in making requirements.
Calling attention to cows owned
by one individual he says that he
had the Waterman of the cows ar
rested some time ago, but as he.
the Waterman, was not the owner
of the animals he was released
when tried in police court.
Last Sunday morning he found
two of the cows in his yard feed
ing on soft sprouts of the palm
trees. Getting into his automo-
bile, Mr.. Lord says that he drove
into the city, found Officer Joseph
Kemp and driving back to his home
found the Waterman who admitted
that the cows belonged to the
same party who owned the others.
This in the presence of Officer
Kemp.
The owner was arrested, placed
on trial Monday afternoon in police
court where he was fined SIS by
the Judge who at the same time
suspended the sentence.
When ! told the Judge that I
was going to take this matter up
with the city council and the coun-
ty commissioners, especially as the
body has spent some thousands of
dollars in improvements along the
boulevard" says Mr.. Lord, II was
informed by the Judge that l was
in contempt of,court.
Besides this | also gave sworn
testimony" Mr.. Lord continued.
.'that two horses, belonging to the
same owner of the cows were
walking all over the boulevard Sat
urday night and on Sunday morn
ing after the cows were rounded
up, these same two horses were
still at large walking along the
boulevard towards town."
In his letter to the council Mr..
Lord concludes his complaint with
the sentence land then we wonder
why more of our citizens do not
pay their taxes"

Judge Orders Vote Recount
In HinsbOrough Cancelled
Establish Legality OF Pro-
ceedings In Three
Fourths OF Precincts In
voIved In Case
eBy Associated Press,

TAMPA, Oct. 5.-Con-
gresham Drane's vote-re-
counting proceedings in
Hillsborough county ended
suddenly in circuit court to-
day when Judge Robles cam
eelled his original order for
q recount in eight precincts.
Although the original order Of
q writ of mandamus directing a
recount was confirmed Saturday
by the supreme court, Judge Robes
today held that the supreme courts
opinion yesterday had established
the legality of the count in six
precincts of the eight, and that it
was useless to recount those pre-
cincts.
When Drane's attorneys re-
fused 10 amend their petition Tor
a recount in all eight precincts,
Judge Robes quashed the entire
recount writ.
This action followed several
hours of argument. w. H. jack
son, attorney for Peterson, said
the evidence and complaint re-
gnrding six precincts shows the
only irregularity existing was that
Of the counting of several ballots
marked with the cross on the left
of the candidates name instead of
on the right, and that the supreme
court opinion held that ballots
should be counted whether marked
on right or left.
Drane's attorney argued Judge
Robes writ had been upheld by
the supreme court and that the
writ now becomes one of the
supreme court, and Judge Robles
is unable to quash it.

stock feeding "if it is the sense
Of congress-"
Payne told the, committee the

NE committee had under con-

authorizing the Farm Boards

over the 100000 bushels of
wheat to the Red Cross.

funds for livestock feeding in 95
counties in the Northwestern
states.
