FEDERAL FARM
BOARD ON TRIAL
Senate Jury Assemblies to
Start Investigation.
By United Press

~ tNttCd Press
WASHINGTON, July ia jury
Of senators assembled today to put
the federal farm board on trial for
it's life.
The jurors were subcommittee
of the senate committee on agri-
culture, meeting to formulate plans
for the investigation. The inquiry
was ordered after several senator's
branded the board a $500, 1000 900
failure and demanded its dissolu-
ton.
Committee members believed
their first action would be to en-
ploy experts to make a detailed
study of the boards operation.
They thought hearings would begin
in month Or two.
I'VE welcome investigation. is
the stock phrase Of every criticised
government agency, but Chairman
James c. Stone asserted he really
meant it in the case of the farm
board.
He believed the investigation
would give him a chance to direct
public and congressional attention
to what he considers the main pur-
pose of the agricultural marketing
act, federal sponsorship of CO.
operative marketing, rather than
to the boards expensive sideline,
commodity price sterilization.

PROPOSE STATE
HEADS RETURN
BACK SALARY
House Bill Sets a Sliding
Scale on Repayment
by Officials.

Fifteen bills aimed at reduc-
ton Of public expenditures and
seeking to tap new sources of reve-
nue. were introduced in the house OF
representatives today.
One Of the most novel economy
measures was that sponsored by
Representatives H. H. Evans CRep),
Newcastle, and John M. Cantley
Dem.,), Logansport, which would
require every public official, whether
elective or appointive, excepting the
Governor and judges of the SUI
preme, appellate, circuit and SUI
perior courts, to pay back to the
general fund a percentage of their
salaries.
Members of institutional boards
would not be exempt. The schedule
of refunds provides those receiving
salaries of from $4,000 to $4,000 re-
turn 10 per cent; $4,000 to $4,000,
Is per cent; $4,000 to $1,000, 20 per
cent; $1,000 to $4,000, Is per cent,
and more than $4,000, 80 per cent.
Plan to tax billboards used in out
door advertising at cents a square
foot and assessment of a 500
licensing fee for the advertising
companies, is advanced by Repre-
sentatives George c. Ale (Dem)
Vernon, and Oran w. Cromer
(Rep) Middletown.
Reduction of governmental ex-
penses through abolition of the 1881
law requiring advertising of county
claims, and a 20 per cent slash in
the rates charged for all legal adj
vertising is sought in two bills in
troduced today.
Another measure would permit a
five-year moratorium on redemp-
ton of Barrett law bonds, if the
bondholders consent.

Probation Officers Plea

This might be called "Promation

titled Bread Cast Upon the Water
Returns to Giver." but If it were,
one would be ignoring The Kid, +"
and Some way or other you got to
give the Kid credit-he fought
back-so here goes.
Four years ago The Kid" then
is, was thief. He was the thorn
in the side of many policemen. He
was a double dose of Pecks Bad Boy

The Kid" faced a municipal
judge on a theft charge. His first
conviction loomed. Every one was
dead against giving him another
chance--that is, every one but
Scion G. Vial, chief probation officer
Of the municipal courts.
Begged for Chance
Vial begged and pleaded for THE
Kid"
Give him chance. I believe
he'll go straight" Vial told the
Judge.
Vial won. Then ne took the
SKid" in his office and gave him a
verbal going lover"
Look here, Kid, If you'd been
convicted in that court you'd never
be able to say in hunting a job
that you had no criminal record.
You couldn't take a civil service
Job or one where character counts,
Vail told him.
Vial forgot the incident in ham
ding myriad of court cases until
today. And today a young man
poked his head in Walls Office
do you remember me?" he
asked.
I'm the Kid"
I'm the Kid CHS right name

the Judge almost sentenced me. Will
1t hurt me getting job? 1 think
/ can get a civil service job. It has
something to do with wearing a
badge. Will 1 be lying if I say
never was convicted of stealing?"
Only the buzzing electric fan dis
turbed the strong silence in Walls
room. He visioned the courtroom
scene of four years ago and his pleas
for another chance"
Then Vial stood up. He extended
his big hand and The Kid grssped
it.
NO you won't be lying Now get
out of and-and-m good,
said the heavy-set probation officer
as he showed The Kid good-nat-

COMEDY WITH LAUREL A N D
 HARDY COMING
Pardon lJs' Previews at l Tomorrow Night and
 Shows on Thursday

You can well imagine how fan Laurel and Hardy would get in an intelligence test. In Pardon Us" their first feature length com edy, which will be previewed at 1 o'clock tomorrow night and be shown regularly Thursday at the Capitol theatre, they go back to school. It is prison institution, but nevertheless, schoolroom.
 James Finlayson is the teacher with his four -cornered hat and long robe-oae of those .'all here answer present, and those not here answer absent sort of pro- feSsors.
 Teaches Convicts
 He teaches the convictss their history, geography, arithmetic. etc, which answers, whether correct or incorrect, depend upon the size Of the pupil.
 Professor Finlayson's chapeau is the target for many a BIB shot, and it is poor Oliver Hardy that is the butt of all such tricks. More than once this fellow has to hold his hand out for a smack from teachers ruler-in this case a billy club.
 Lots of Activity
 The present activity system of our schools is slow compared to the school work done by Laurel and Hardy in their first feature length comedy.
 The schoolroom episodes are only a few of the many hilarious incidents in Pardon Us'' which take the comedy pair on veri.- able tour of laughs which starts when Laurel and Hardy are sent to jail for bootlegging.
