While, hundreds of workers
battled against the mounting
snow blanket, which grew
from GA inches early today to
SO inches at noon, the city
also prepared to face a cold
wave scheduled to send the
mercury tumbling from the
26 and 27 marks, which ruled
through the morning, to as
low as Is degrees above zero
tonight.
The snowfall here, according to j.
H. Arlington, United States
weather forecaster, is the heaviest
since Nov. 81, 1902, when 23 inches
were reported.
The total early today was more
than for any November on record.
Nearest approach to today's total,
according to Arlington, was in 1886,
when there was a fall of SIS inches
for the entire month.
Forecast Clearing Skies
Focal region for the maximum
severity of the blizzard. Arsning-
ton said, was in Missouri, Illinois,
Indiana, Ohio and southern Mich
igan.
The snowfall in the midwest
area most affected was from four
to nine inches, with the maximum
being attained at Toledo.
In Indiana, there was temper
allure drop ranging from 16 to Is
degrees.
Arlington predicted clearing
skies for tonight and Thursday.
A fine and steady rain Tuesday,
accompanied by temperature drop
at midnight to Is degrees, heralded
the approach of the blizzard.
This rain changed to sleet early
Tuesday night and formed a glaze
over streets which the snow COW
cred, making traffic dangerous, and
nearly impossible.
Traffic Accidents Frequent
Traffic accidents were frequent,
but with the exception of two ia
talitieS, they were of minor ma
ture. Treacherous street surfaces
formed an effective barrier to fast
driving.
Poor visibility, due to the driving
snowstorm which obscured their
vision, is blamed for the deaths of
Melvin Stanley, %, of 1852 West
Michigan street, who died after he
crashed his auto into street car
in the 1900 block of East MICHIGAN
street, and John MILESTONE, so, Ar

Fifty-ninth street and College ave-

TiTneclOcks Are Forgotten
Stanley's death brought the Mar
ion county auto death toll to eighty
since Jan. l.
Timeciocks were forgotten today
as employees waited vainly while
street cars struggled to make head
way against snow banks, piled high
by a biting northwest wind.

Mr.. Emil Moe,

Dear Mr.. Moe:
Have received your letter to-
gether with copy of the Strike
Rules for the the Farmers Holi-
day Association.
l am entirely in sympathy with
the farmer and fully realize the
critical condition of the farmers
and the people in the county at
this time.
In taking the oath of office that
l will have to, if elected, / do not
feel that I can sign this pledge
although l believe all people who
are worthy should be given an op-
portunity to work out of the pres
ent conditions.
There has been similar con
ditions at various periods in th'
history of our country which have
always worked out. 1 am of TIT
opinion and belief that heavy los
ses must be taken by mortgage
and bonding companies for count!
obligations as well as private.
also believe that some program
must be outlined and a law passe,
by the next legislature to reduc
penalty interest and extend the
time for sale of delinquent take
until such time that the farmer
will get prices for their product
SO that it will be possible to pay
am also in favor of keepin
1our people on the farms thong
they are behind on tax payment
and my advice has been all ia
for them to hang on to their see'
feed and living so as to be adj
to put in a crop next year re
gardless of obligations and d.
mands.

aimed against paying lawfully

WHAT THE COMMUNIST
WILL DO

The Communist candidates will
use the offices to protect the farm
ers and workers of the county,
"oaths of office" to the contrary
notwithstanding. All OF the talk
about "oaths of office" is nothing
but the pledge of Harry Folks
gang that they will carry out the
orders of the bankers and the ma
chine companies. Their sympathy
with the farmers is nothing but so
much hypocrisy.
We hope Nielsen, Alfred Jensen,
and w. E. Nash will learn that
the program which they support is
not the program of the Liberty
party. The Communist party is
the only party which has pledged
its support to militant struggle on
the part of the farmers.
