CROP CURB NEEDED,
WALLACE WARNS
Without Control, Price Fixing
Is Doomed to Fail,
He Says.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, September 20-Secretary
Wallace today told the Grain Dealers
Association he still favors controlled
imitation.
Along with this, President Roosevelt's
Secretary of Agriculture criticized high
tariff psychology and warned that at
tempts to fix prices without control Of
production is doomed to failure"
Most of the price-fixers also are
inflationists," he said. If the pur-
chasing power of farm products does not
improve during the next three months,
the price-fxers and int1ationists will
have great power in Congress this COM
ing Winter and there will be passed
legislation which will make the agri-
cultural adjustment act seem extraordi-
narily conservative"
Urges 1926 Price Level.
Explaining his attitude on imitation,
Wallace said recent views he expressed
on the subject have been misinterpreted.
For a number Of years prior to
March 4, 1888" Wallace said, Il urged
the stabilization Of the purchasing
power of the dollar and restoration Of
the commodity price level to that which
prevailed in 1925. 3" = Since March
4, it has been my pleasure to see the
objectives we strove for out in the
Middle West become basic principle
in President Roosevelt's program for
recovery.
I'm view OF the progress already
made in that direction, 1t was deemed
opportune to explain to farmers what
some Of the results might be, espe-
cially to point out that If the previous
price level is restored, farmers still
would face the continued necessity Of
balancing farm ouput more nearly in
line with demand conditions. Unfor-
tunately, this attempt to clarity the
farmers thinking, lest he be disap-
pointed, when the price level objectives
are eventually attained, has given rise
to the mistaken impression that I have
changed my views. My position with
respect to controlled imitation has not
changed"
Looks For Higher Prices.
Wallace said he looked for decidedly
higher agricultural prices within few
months" but that he felt the improve
ment might come to sad end if I'VE
are not prepared to meet the peril pro-
duced by the following forces" He said
these were:

psychology.
"Second-The American people,
Democrats and Republicans alike. are
still essentially high tariff in their at
titude Reciprocal tariff agreements
may be negotiated but the increase in
foreign purchasing power resulting
thereby will not be sufficient to enable

Dali, who was accompanied by other
members OF his committee, presented
petition to the Governor which
stated, in part:
I'VE are advised by some of our men,
bers that per cent tax on the basis
of current gross income, without de-
ductions, on the present volume of busi-
ness, would equal more than 100 per
cent of net income With the burden
of such taxes, no business can exist
Their imposition will leave no alterna-
tive to those affected by the tax than
to remove their business to States not
imposing such excessive taxation"
The petition will later be submit
ted to Mayor O'Brien.

TOPICS OF THE TIMES

" Popular notions OH the arith-
metic of ordinary things are aston
iShingly vague. Here are a few basic
commodities that everybody is talk
ing about nowadays:
GOLD. A pound of gold is worth
about $3.50. A ton of gold would be
worth about half a million dollars.
The people in the newspaper pic
lures holding small white Bags of
gold coin are not carrying the wealth
of Golconda; it would be nearer $2,-
500. A woman worth her weight in
gold would command only $35,O00.
That is perhaps why the author of
Proverbs quotes her value in rubies.
: -. BEER A liquid barrel is
thirty-one gallons. That is 1874 qts.
That. is 248 .pints. That would be
about 500 glasses. A Federal tax of
SIS a barrel and State tax of 81
barrel should mean something over
one cent ON the glass.
.NsS. BANK. A bank is an institu-
tion which in its ideal state is at
the same time 100 per cent solid and
100 per cent liquid.

SIMPLE METHODS HELP
TO REDUCE FUEL BILL

tt
Home economies this winter ex-
tend to every phase of living. One of
the major household expenses is
operating the heating plant. Often a
little attention to the condition of
the house itself will help to keep
out cold air and save fuel.
Sometimes quite obvious meas
ures are overlooked. For instance,
fuel may be saved by hanging a
heavy curtain across a hallway or
over door to stop drafts. This is
particularly effective at the foot of
a stairway. 1t is better to keep the
living rooms comfortably warm than
merely to take the chil off the whole
house.
If the house is heated by fur
mace, fuel may be saved by shutting
the doors of the least used rooms
and closing off registers or radia-
tors. The common practice of turn
ing off the heat in bedrooms at
night when the windows are open
results in considerable savings.
During a very cold snap, however,
radiators in unheated rooms should
be protected from freezing by COW
ering with blanket or by wrapping
a thick layer of newspapers around
them. To have warm halls and liv-
ing rooms in the morning see that
bedroom doors close tightly. 1t may
be necessary to make thresholds for
them or to lay long narrow sand
bags against the bottom.
;On cold winter evenings pull
shades down below the sills and
iraw curtains all the way over the
windows to keep the rooms warm
sr. The shades and curtains act as
nsulators, though not to the same
.xtent as the storm windows and
storm doors which are used in cold
climates.

WATCH YOUR HEATING UNITS

We are Inclined to think of the
stove as being merely "A common
place unit in the home. We are
rather unprepared to find it and its
larger brother, the furnace, as well
as boilers and their pipes, listed as
major cause of fire loss. Accord
ing to the Actuarial Bureau, of the
National Board of Fire Underwrit-
ers, the national loss from this
cause amounted to almost IS,500,-
900 in 1881.
Research work Of the National
Board indicates that many. of the
losses resulted from the installation
of sub-standard heating equipment.
Another serious causeeis the placing
of stoves or furnaces too close to
partitions or ceilings composed of
burnable material; again, smoke
pipes, which become very hot, are
often installed too near COM
bustible material. Careless maiil-
tenance Of heating equipment also
accounts for numerous disastrous
fires.
The National Board recommends
a few simple safety precautions
which anyone can take at once:
1. Clean SCOT from the stove or
furnace.
2. Take down the smokepipe, re-
move SCOT; also clean SCOT from bot
tom of chimney. ..
3. If the smOkepipe has holes
rusted or worn in it, replace with
d new pipe.
4. Install this pipe so that it will
not be nearer than two feet to any
burnable material; if this is not pos
sible, cover the combustible material
with asbestos.
s. Sections of partitions, ceiling |
Ir beams which are too close to hot |
parts of stove or furnace should be
covered with asbestos.
6. Replace all broken or worn
parts of the heating equipment.
z. Use common sense in operating
he heating system. In cold wealth

THE RABBIT AND THE COYOTE


The Rabbit heard the Lion tell the
Leopard that he was known as the
King Of Beasts because his thunder
GUS roar had made his strength and
bravery known from one end of the
Jungle to the other . according to
a fable printed many years ago.
The Rabbit was greatly impros
sed by what he had heard, so he re-
tired to his hole to think the matter
over. He had always wanted to be
strong and brave -. respected and
feared by all the other animals of
the jungle.
One fine evening, few days later,
he rushed from his hiding place and
into a clearing, where he took his
stand and did his best to roar.
A Coyote, hearing the squeal,
pounced upon him. The Rabbit, who
was nearly scared out of his skin,
asked for an opportunity to speak
before he was slain. He then told
the Coyote about the conversation
he had overhead, and asked the Co
vote why he was not afraid when he
heard the "roar."
The sly old Coyote looked down at
the helpless Rabbit gripped tightly
in his powerful paws. ITS a good
thing to advertise" said the Coyote,
"but first-yOu must have the
goods!"-B. NJ. T.
