DES MONIES, Iowa, September g.
Iowa farmers and coal miners who be-
gan ructions of their own on a small
scale last week continued them this
week in the hope of speeding up re-
covery for their special Industries
The farmers action, restrained to
persuasion, amounts to a demand for
price fixing for corn and hogs. Steadily
mounting prices for the things the
farmer must buy and stable or falling
prices for what he has to sell brought
the demand
In the demand one may see a phe-
nomena strange to Iowa-joint action
by the Iowa Farm Bureau and the
Iowa Farmers Union, two groups sell
dom identified together either in oppo-
sition to, or advocacy of, any particular
program of farm relief
While the farmers went on record
with request, Iowa coal miners have

Congress. an association of Western
water users, meeting in Boise last week
end, went on record as favoring ex-
penditure of $15,O00,00O in 20 irriga-
ton projects in nine Western States.
Appropriation and expenditure of
s7,500,00 on the Boise project was
asked to provide additional irrigation
water. The proposed plan calls for
tapping Of Salmon River, and diver
sion of water through long tunnel into
Boise River to augment the supply now
impounded in Arrowrock Dam.
Adjustment of the sale of water
from Jackson Lake on the upper Snake
River in the Minidoka project was also
asked. An appropriation was asked to
finance construction of the first unit
of the American Falls Power Plant
Credit was requested from the Federal
Government for payments made on can
celed farm units in the project. The
total appropriation for these proposals
mounted to $1,250,000.

REGULATE I TRANSPORTATION

In recent address concerning

On the other hand they possess

EEFECT OF SOVIET RECO0Ni-

The recognition of Soviet Rus.

est in two sections Of the country

the outlet that it is believed re
cogn!tion would afford the two
prod ducts of this country of which
there are the most embarrassing
surpluses.
10 the country at large we think
that as to the bare question of
recognition there ia al adverse
sentiment. That is. there is a
dissapproval of the Soviet gov
ernmeut and a disinclination to
associate With it. This senti
ment. though, has been some.

FAVORS GIANTS
OVER GR|FFS

Burt shotton, the Amherst,
Ohio, oracle who bosses the PhilS,
and bears up under the assign
ment surprisingly well, says that
if the Giants win the flag they
can beat the Griffmen.
This isn't very polite to the
Yanks, counting them out OF the
world series seven weeks before
that select event is due to start,
but you know how those National
Leaguers are. The whole National
League from top to bottom felt
the sting of what the Yanks did
to the standard bearing Cubs last
October, and the old loop will feel
a decided relief if the YankS
aren't in on the big payoff party
this fall.
shotton doesn't say the Giants
will win the flag, he says If they
win it they can beat the Senators.
Fact is, Shotton has a hunch the
Giants may have quite a tough
row to hoe to make the grade.
''I don't know Terry very
well, personally, but he seems q
smart young fellow with a
steady hand on the tiller. And,
above all, he has the pitching.
"And that's why I think the
Giants could beat Washington,
though 1 rate Washington che

tell the tale, and q tale for .

There are a hundred variations,
but one thing is sure:
No jockey, trainer or anyone
else with real racing information
is going to sell it if the informa-

are bits of information, such as
that which led Arnold Rothstein
to bet 100000 and win it on
the Naturanst-Ha Hannibal race,
that make the difference between
a winning and a losing bet.
But no tout gets information
of that caliber to sell for So or
S. or $1OO. Rothstein and the
''big shot" gamblers, betting a
hundred thousand or more dol
lars on a single race, could get
real information. The public
can't get it through touts.
