LISBON, Aug. 10.-A village
in which every man owns his house
and land and int which problems
of capital and labor never come
is hidden in the thickly wooded
district between the provinces of
Alemtejo and Beta Baixa.
In the communal spinning fac
tory yarns are made from the
wool of mountain sheep. Every
cottage has its hand-loom, where
cloth is woven into shawls, hand
kerchiefs and carpets. About
100000 pounds of wool are turn
ed into the finished product.
Wheat and corn are ground in
the community windmill; they pro-
duce enough fruit and vegetables
for their own needs, and the olive
harvest is sent in communal OK
carts to the nearest factory to be
turned into o1ive-oil.

Moley for the job, Roosevelt made
it plain that nothing unusual was
behind it, that he would retain
his title as assistant secretary of
state, and return to the depart
ment when the task was finished.
Moley himself had something
to say on the subject. At Hyde
Park, after talking with the
President about his new assign
ment, newspapermen cornered him
and asked if he would remain as
assistant secretary under Hull.
II certainly am going to-" he
replied. II know of no good
reason why / should not"
And when someone suggested
that it had been assumed in some
quarters that he would resign,
Moley snapped:
II pay no attention to assump-
tions."
GEbhbSCHL
It is doubtful, however, that
even the assurances of the Presi-
dent or the emphatic statements
of the professor will silence COM
pletely the gossip among Wash
ington observers concerning the
Hull-Moley affair.
That cancelled airplane flight
abroad and Moley's other expert
ences in London are enough to
satisfy some that not everything
is peaceful.
And there's this thought too
Those who know Cordell Hull
intimately and who have watched
him during the long years he has
been in public life say that. he is
q man who does not easily forget
or forgive q grievance.
HE is mild-mannered, sincere
and kindly" said one of his
friends, "but he has another side
as we'll"
If the secretary thinks, then.
that he was dealt with wrongly at
London, the Hull-Moley affair
may not yet be a closed in
cident.
Almost Embarrassed
incidentally, the Presidents
grasp of the situation when the
proposed international statement
on sterilization of the currency
was to the fore is indicated by one
of the higher-ups who attended the
London conference upon his re-
turn to Washington.
This gentleman was closeted
with the President for several
hours when he returned to the
capital. Roosevelt was discussing
the currency statement. Sec
tions l and 2 he thought were all
right. Section he thought not
so good.

about those various sections, :"

LONG And SHORT
OF GRAIN TRADE
in SPECULATION
PUBLICITY FOR BIG DEALS
OPPOSED IN CONTEST PER.
TANNING TO OLD TRADING
ACT OF PAST YEARS
BY FRANK /. WELLER
{By ASSoeIaSeO AsresSS

w ASHINGION. Aug. TO-
The grain trade is moving in one
direction to regulate speculation
before the government does it and
in another to get out from under
the grain futures administration
altogether.
At the same time operators were
agreeing with officials of the de-
partment of agriculture to limit
the range of daily fluctuations in
the futures market. An action
in behalf o. a Chicago grain COM
pany was on file in the supreme
court of the United States con-
testing the constitutionality of the
grain futures act.
A 12-Year Battle
The private grain trade has pro-
tested government supervision
from the time the futures trading
act was passed in 1921. That
particular law was held unconsti-
tutional by the supreme court,
but it was followed the next year
by the grain futures act which
the court upheld in a test case
filed by the Chicago board of
: trade.
Pending decision in the present
Chicago action the trade will, I'M
der it's agreement with the gov
eminent, permit wheat prices to
move only five cents up or down
in any one day and viii require
larger margins for speculative &C
counts in an effort to circumvent
recurrence of such liquidation as
hit the market on July 20 when
wheat prices broke II cents bu-
shell under the heaviest sales in
the history of the Chicago ex-
change.
Wheat Price Had Doubled
Days of steady increases had
more than doubled the price of
wheat at its lowest point. and
numerous spectators were pyra-
hiding their profits on narrow
margin. When values started
down, the weakness of such posi-
tions Embossed flood of contracts,
a record total of 269, 433,000 bu-
shels-more than enough wheat
to feed ne nation For half a
year-changing hands in a days
time.
In addition to general code of
procedure for grain exchanges
President Roosevelt insisted on
restoring the practice of reporting
to the government all trades in
volving more than 100000 bushels
of wheat. The reports, suspend
ed in 1892, had been considered
a necessary means to keep the
department of agriculture in posi-
ton to forsee and prevent possible
manipulation of prices and other
abuses.
Short Side Predominates
Grain dealers had insisted that
such regulation by the grain fu-
lures administration resulted in
lowering prices and said that if the
reports were suspended the big
operators would come in on the
buying side. Records subsequently

showed the big operators had not
been out of the market. but for
the greater part of the period
from April, 1880, to October, 1882,
had been on the short side.
Instead of going up when the
reports We're suspended. prices
went down to previously unknown
levels. The December future
closed at 48 1-2 cents bushel in
Chicago on the day it was an
nounced reports would be discon-
tinued. Within 10 days the price
was down 6 ga cents, drop of
1872 per cent.

President G.. w. Rightmire asserts.
+ Pointing out that Ohio State has
already reduced salaries by $4,000
annually, President Rightmire warns
that the university has reached the
dividing line between efficiency and
crippled service. 1t has made sin
cere effort, he adds, to give efficient
service under a greatly reduced in
come although enrolment has fallen
off only slightly.
Further decreases proposed in the
executive budget may mean the
abandonment of departments and
even colleges of the university, the
president says, adding that this will
mean "the $4,000 students suffer to-
day, the state suffers tomorrow"
"The university appreciates the diff
ficulties in shaping state budget in
the face Of declining revenues" he
says. "It is in full sympathy with
the principle of the state living with
in its income 1t has from the begin
ming co-operated fully with the gov
ernor and the legislature in making
economies to that end. so
"But' in his budget message the
governor himself pointed out the dan
ger of too drastic curtailments in
certain areas, including the state
supported higher education. Those
responsible for the administration of
the university would be untrue to
their public trust if they did not call
attention to vital educational prob
lens raised by the proposed budget.
"Work of the agricultural exten-
sion department and of the Wooster
experiment station, for which the uni
versity's board of trustees is also re-
sponsible, will likewise suffer re-
duction of more than so per cent if
the recommendations are adopted.
Agriculture remains the basic indus
try Of the state and the practical ac-
complishments of these two divisions
have been incalculable to Ohio
throughout the years"
/ Coincident with the presidents
statements, several new economy
steps are announced by the univer-
sity. They include:
Abandonment of the veterinary
conference held annually for seven
years and attracting several hundred
veterinarians from Ohio and adjoin-
/ ing states for clinics, lectures, dem
onstrations and discussions.
Cu1tailment of the educational con-
ference, held annually in April with
an attendance of 5000 educators, by
cut of more than rs per cent
in the budget.
Abandonment of the annual formal
observance of Washington's birthday
as University Day" after 40 years
of such observance by students and
faculty.
Change of the Educational Re-
search Bulletin, published in the in
terest of Ohio schools, to monthly
publication after IL years as semi
monthly.

London Youths Asked to Com
pete in High School Relays
April l9s at Ohio Wes-
leyan University

Local high school athletes have just
received an invitation to participate in
Ohio Wesleyan university's second an
nual high school relays to be held on
Selby field at. Ohio Wesleyan, Della
ware, on Saturday, April 20.
Last year the Relays attracted 7S1
entries, of whom more than 500 ac-
tually competed. While the meet was
conducted as an experiment, its sue
cess caused Director of Athletics
George Gauthier, of Ohio Wesleyan to
repeat the event this year.
Although So schools were represent
ed in the meet, the number can be in
creased this year if necessary, accord
ing to Gauthier, because Selby field
has facilities for hundreds of contest
ants. The track is quarter-mile in
circumference, with eight lanes.
Two classes of competition again
will be offered. The Class A division
was won last year by Columbus Cen
trail, with Lakewood second and Toledo
Waite third. In Glass NJ Millersburg
was first, Bryan second and Terrace
Park, Cincinnati, third.
All events will be relays Track
events will require four boys to a
team and field events will require
three boys to a team. A single boy
may compete in the field for individ-
ual honors, but he cannot score points
for his school,
Team trophies will be given the win
ners in both classes, and bronze
plaques will be awarded winning
teams in each event. Gold medals will
be given as Individual trophies to
member of all winning teams and to
individual winners in field events who
are not members of a winning team.
Track events, all relays, will include
the 440-yard race, half-mile, mile, two
mile, 480-yard low hurdle and medley.
The field events will be the pole vault,
high jump, broad jump, shot put, dis
Gus throw and javelin throw.
