that end.
Unfortunately, while we are in the
midst OF a national campaign too much at
tention is being given to party expediency
and too little relief of a sorely burdened
people.
No party. no class. and no individual
is responsible for present conditions, and
no party, class or individual can alone lead
us out of our national predicament. 1t will
take the united and unselfish efforts of all
elements of our people to restore prosper
ity.

The Move for Dollar Wheat
(By Tom Moodie)

The move tor dollar wheat, whatever
its outcome, cannot fail TO accomplish one
constructive result. 1t cannot fail to bring
the farmer and the business man closer to-
gether. That means a better understanding
of mutual problems and mutual response
billties.
1t cannot fail either to spotlight some
of the men and methods which have exploit
ted them both. 1t will likewise spotlight
mistakes which both have made in the past.
The level of agricultural prices today
l. more the concern of the business man
than the farmer. since it now appears that
the farmer fights with his back to the wall
a bit more desperately than ever he has
fclght before
He is invoking. quite naturally, one
of the first of the natural laws. the law of
seIf-preservation. He is saying SO clearly
and 50 pointedly that none may mistake
his meaning that he proposes to take care
Of his family and himself first. No reason
able man can blame him for that, For the
simple reason that it is exactly what every
sane and reasonable man would do ii he
were placed in like position.
The farmer has long been taught that
the business man opposed his interest and
sought to grind hum down. That was never
true The business man IN turn was taught
that the farmer was unreasonable. exagger-
ated his problems and was a constant men
dicant- That was equally untrue.
Today a great force is working to re-
veal tha exnIn1fere from whom 10Th busin-
ess man and farmer have suffered. 1t is the
force Of economic law which has rather
swiftly and relentlessly brought both with
In the scope of It's effects and revealed to
both their mutual responsibilities.
Only good can come from this situa-
ton, difficult as it may seem at this time.
If the plight of the small business man Is
desperate. ii is but the natural development
of the plight in which the farmer finds him
self in all the eountrys agricultural re
gions-
"A man without money cannot buy.
Neither can he pay debts A business with

Rose Wells straub, known on the stage as "Chickie" and play ing the leading role in the bur 1esque show at Bridgeport this week, was granted Q divorce from Howard Straub of Syracuse, N. r., on grounds of intemperance by Judge Frederick M. Peasley in su- perior court this morning. Her divorce was one of four granted at the short calendar session of the court.
 "Chickie" was married to Straub in Utica, N. Y. on April 12, 1927 she told the court, and about 0 month after the ceremony her hus- band commenced his drinking which lasted until she left him about Q year and 0 half ago. She said he was arrested twice in Utica and Syracuse on petty larceny charges and that she borrowed $500 to furnish his bail. He was engaged as a theater manager and publicity man for road shows at the time of the marriage.
 She related one incident when he went through $700 spent for drink, she said. He struck her once with a hair brush and left 0 mark on her back and on another occasion chased her with a bread knife. She said she ran into the bath room with her child and locked the door. She said he was seldom sober and his continual drinking and abusive treatment caused her to lose weight so that

BARCES WRITE
 NEW HISTORY
 ON MISSISSIPPI
Huge Loads of Freight Hauled to Gulf
 Ports

Memphis, Teni, (UP)-Hundreds of snub-nosed tow boats and barges quietly churning their way up and down the Mississippi and its tribu- taraies are writing new annals to commercial history of this country.
 Yet their presence and the freight records they are establish ing are getting little attention.
 The landing of a boat at Mem- phis. St Louis. Helena. Ark. or at any one of another half hun dred major inland ports to-day compels no attention.
 One tow recently passed down river from St Louis to New Or- leans with enough freight aboard to load to capacity two good size ocean liners. Its mixed cargo from middle western factories and farms was stoked away in huge steel barges and the single pusher- towboat handled 1t without difii- culty.
 The depression. of course. has been q factor in creating this new form of transportation, but tt is not entirely responsible for thee in- crease In business.
 New designs for river barges. cheaper and more powerful tug- boats and better freight terminals and a network of truck lines have been important factors.

APPEALS FOR AID COME FROM THE
 FLOODED AREA
Want Army Troops to Patrol Sector in Missis= sippi, Where Levees Are Giving Way

Sumner, Miss, Jan s.-(UP)-An appeal for U. s. army troops to patrol the crumbling levee sector in the flooded Tallahatchie River Valley was sent to the war depart ment to-day by citizens of Glen dora.
 Glendora is one of the hardest hit of the dozen towns in the in- undated area.
 Appeals for fodo, clothing and shelter have been broadcast for the 2,00O inhabitants of East Talla- hatchie county, made homeless by a leyee break Wednesday night. A wall of water 150 wide roared through the Assure, flooding 50,000 acres of farming land from 3 to Il feet. deep. The break occurred on the Sharkey plantation, eight miles from Glendora.
 Hundreds of head of livestock were drowned and property dam age was increased by many thou sands of dollars by thls latest break.
 Refugee camps were taxed anew as new hundreds of homeless trek ked through the mud or were brought by boats to makeshift shelters. Narrowing experiences were reported by relief workers, who appealed for more boats.
 Water was six to ten feet deep around many negro cabins and residents were found clinging to roof-tops or splashing on rafts as aid arrived.
 Four villages were abandoned completely to-day. They were: Tippon, Macel Vance and Gaynes, all settlements of S,w hundred persons. At Sumner, Glendora and Webb, tho larger towns in this area, water was from three to four feet deep. Only a few homes on higher ground were oc- cupied.
 Felons from state prison camps ening levees. A thousand were continued their work of strength estimated to be aiding citizens in the fight to bolster weakening em- bankments with sand bags.
 Conditions south of Glendora were relieved by yesterdays break, although flood water pounded at levees many miles south. as far as Greenwood. A serious situation was reported at Philip, where q break was momentarily feared. Crews of convicts were at work there with sand bags.

Batch Bag" Brings Comment in Current Issue of
 National Financial and Business Periodical

The current issue of the National Financial Banking and Business Magazine of New York, carries the following article on an invention by Thomas J. Fleming, superinten- dent of streets of this city:
 Inventions that meet the needs of the time, that speed up necessary and constructive work. These are the sort of inventions which count. The recent announcement that Thomas J. Fleming, superintendent of streets in Waterbury, has ob- tained a patent for a batch bag" containing materials of the right proportions which can be mixed on the scene of the work where con- crete Is being laid. This will go far to eliminate tie ups in construc- ton resulting from one unit of production getting out of line with another. Hauling, mixing and lay ing of concrete need no longer be synchronized as before.
 Tt is inventions of this utilitar- ian and exceedingly practical na- ture which will go far towards speeding up industry to it's proper efficiency. Construction men would do well to give this invention of MT Fleming's more than little attention, with view of making use of 1t on their own jobs.

 What is an entirely new develop ment in the Italian trade figures, is the excess of exports over im- ports which occurred in the months of September and October 1881 Tn the first eleven months of 1881 imports were 10,662, 100000 and exports totaled 9,046,000,000. The excess of imports over exports de. creased from 4,645,000 to 1,615 000, ,000, points out the Italy Amer. ica society. That is considered 6 significant result of determined eff fort toward q great degree of self sufficiency, and a united front of all economic activities which will enable Italian business not only to solve the internal problems but to hold Its own on the world market.
