A BONY sorTel chopped down
IA the street, pulling a wagon of
Georgia peaches. A rusty glim-
mer heralded dawn. Two men in
sneakers slid away from the
pleasant looking bungalow in
Hapeville, Ga, leaving behind
them a poisonous porridge for
kidnapers to gobble.
II want one more look around"
one of the men grunted hesitat-
ing.
They both were agents of the
division of investigation, United
States department of justice. The
speaker turned back, while his
companion leaned against the
porch, keeping watch.
Inside the house the agent used
flash tapped with adhesive, so
that only a needle Of light showed.
The tiny disc fell on an object
behind glass, with the flaWless
waxy sheen of white magnolia
blossom.
Satisfied, the agent withdrew.
The trap was set for the -Four
Musketeers, kidnapers of little
children.
Spangled with the frosty glow
of many chandeliers, the home of
Joseph Cannon in Charlotte. N
c., vibrated to invisible currents
of tension. Moving through the
house, slippered, Joseph Cannon
trembled with fear for his 2-year-
old granddaughter, Ann Reynolds.
A sinister something overhung
the house of Cannon. His daugh-
ter had been married to young
Smith Reynolds and had been
desperately unhappy.
Reynolds apparently had been
touched with the same toxic
blight. He had taken a second
wife, Libby Holman from Broad
way, and his body had been found
in his great house at the climax
of a wild jamhoree. Libby Hol-
man had been held for murder.
And now kidnapers threatened
little Ann who slept in her crib
claSping a toy bear.
TINE kidnapers had directed
Il that the ransom money be
placed in a cupboard behind
glass door in a vacant house in
Hapeville. Through that house
people flowed all day.
They we're prospective tenants.
They peered into closets and cup
boards. Any one of them might
be a kidnaper. Yet to plug that
stream of visitors would be fatu-
Gus; it would dissolve the only
definite chance of contact with
the -Four Musketeers.
The house had been turned into
a Land-of-Oz place, like one of
those twitchy Coney Island fun
houses where the touch of a fin
ger or foot is apt to result in a
shock or a blast of air.
Here, however, every movement
registered on an indicator in
nearby house where a squad of
federal agents waited.
On the roof of the latter build
ing an agent lay on his back
scanning the sky with binoculars,
taking down the numbers of all
airplanes that flew by. Other
agents checked any automobile
that stopped in the vicinity.
Hundreds Of numbers - clews
that led nowhere-were patient
ly checked.
-Four days passed. Then, late
one afternoon last January, a

Leaders Map Strategy


Senator Charles McNary of Ore
gon, senate Republican leader, is di-
recting party policy in congress in
cooperation with house Republican
leader Bertrand H Smell of New
York. They are meeting daily to
discuss strategy. Other leaders are
being sounded out.
All agree that President Roose-
velt's popularity is so great with the
rank and file of the country that
little is to be gained by a party at
tack until issues shape themselves
and some opening appears. There
will be some stray sniping here and
there, some trial balloons to sound
out the public, but no organized at
tack at the start.
The truth is that Republican par
ty still is suffering from the shock
of the Roosevelt landslide. Leaders
are still cropping. Fugitive attacks
on the NRA have fallen with dull
and diminutive pop. Recently the
IldOlOlldl
peeped up with a protest, but no one
seemed much disturbed.
Hoover Remains Silent
The party begins the session of
congress without an outstanding
leader. The titular leader, Herbert
Hoover, is keeping very quiet in his
Palo Alto retreat. Ambitious hope
fuls are dreaming dreams of wrest-
ing control from his faction of the
party, but no one yet has come out
of the scheming with anything sub
stantial.
The Hoover group, led by Senator
David A. Reed of Pennsylvania and
former Senator George H. Moses of
New Hampshire, instituted a move
ment recently to GUST chairman
Everett Sanders of the Republican
national committee, but apparently
got nowhere.
It's candidate is former Senator
Walter E. Edge of New Jersey, who
was ambassador to France for a
time. Senator McNary and the
western wing of the party are resist
ing any attempt to eject Mr.. Sand
ers, not for love of the Hoover chair
man, but because they want the
organization held intact for the
present to await developments.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-Repub-
lican congressional leaders have
decided to refrain from any frontal
party attack on President Roose-
velt's new deal at the outset of the
coming session of congress as the
safest and most expedient political
course.
A policy of wait and see has
been decreed by party leaders here
in conferences during the last few
days which were concerned also
with party reorganization, and, in
cidentally, with a few personal am
billions.
Regular Republicans expect some
Democrats and some of the Repub-
lican progressives who supported
Mr.. Roosevelt to prove fractions and
troublesome to the President and
they prefer to let these do the at
lacking.

WASHINGTON, November 20.
There are indications already of
a stiff and determined fight when
the states settle down to drafting
liquor control laws now that the
eighteenth amendment has been
repealed.
The recommendation of the
Rockefeller-sponsored survey that
the best approach to the problem
is through state control of sales
has been thoroughly condemned"
by Emanuel Celler, member of the
house from New York.
Representative Celler is spon-
soring what he calls an "ABC plan
for temperance" calculated to put
the sale and distribution of liquors
under a non-competitive model Ii
cense system.
Here are the arguments on both
sides which you probably will hear
in elaborate detail later on:
Politics and corruption entered
the license system primarily be-
cause liquor dealers attempted to
maintain and expand their sales"

fare Home project. It developed that
out of the $5OO,0OO appropriation the
project had been carried out most
satisfactorily, especially considering
the numerous changes in plans
which became necessary as the work
progressed. AS a member of the
commission stated, money had been
spent which might really be charged
against the project for future de-
velopment, but nevertheless with
the work yet to be done, which in
cludes the removal of the service
station at the entrance to the Home,
the uneXpended balance out of the
original appropriation will probab-
ly be less than 500.
The commission is proud of the
fact that what is known as extras"
which frequently figure largely in
expenditure of public as well as pri-
vate building projects. tOtalled only
about $2.500, and certain allowances
on building and equipment repre-
sented "credits" for almost that sum.
AS stated, the service station at
the junction of the State highway
and Sunnyside road, leading 10 the
Home, is yet to be moved a short
distance south, which will provide a
more inviting entrance to the Home
from the State highway. This work
will be done within the month.

GRANDMA'S
SCRAP BOOK

But Christ will know if you play a
part
Will know in your hour of need;
And then as you wait for death to
come,
What hopes can there be deduced
From creed alone? You will be there
dumb
While your chickens come home
to roost.
Sow as you will, there's a time to
reap,
For the good and bad as well,
And conscience, whether we wake
or sleep.
Is either a heaven or hell.
And every wrong will find its place,
And every passion loosed
Drifts back and meets you face to
When the chickens come home to
Toost.
Whether you're over or under the
sod,
The result will be the same;
You cannot escape the hand Of God,
You must bear your sin or shame.
No matter what's carved on marble
slab,
When the items are all produced
You'll find that st. Peter was keep
ing tab"
And that chickens come home to
roost.

paralysis and other diseases which
are common among pullets about the
time they are being placed in their
laying houses for the winter. In the
completion OF this project records
will also be obtained showing the
number of recommended points fol-
lowed by the poultrymen in raising
their flocls from the time the chicks
are Matched until the pullets reached
the laying stage.
On the twenty farms that were in
cluded in this project in 1882 those
poultrymen who followed the major
ity of the recommended practices in
rearing their flocks had a chick
mortality loss of only S.9 per cent,
as compared to a loss of 11.2 per
cent in those flocks where about one
half of the points had been followed
throughout the season. Taking these
facts into consideration, it will be of
interest to poultrymen to compare
the results this year with those of
the previous year, for in many in
stances the same poultry farms are
included in these two surveys.

Produce Market Notes

Some lines of eastern nroduce are
near the end of tlIeIr active season
Potato shipmehts continue heavy but
snow tcshdency to taper off grad
ually Low that most of the north
ern crop has been harvested. Ac-
sive buying for storage takes care
of large quantities. Potato prices
show little further change the last
week of October, holding near the
lowest of the season, but show a
more steady position in the East and
some firmness in the Middle West.
Onion markets are holding fairly
well and cabbage prices are fully
sustained. Grapes and pears tend
higher near the close of the sea-
son and there is some tendency for
apple markets to recover, especially
in producing sections.
Apple Market Hesitates
The apple market is in waiting
position. Apples are mostly off the
tree and many of them packed and
ready for disposal. Eastern produc-
ing sections show a tendency to re-
cover from their lowest prices of
recent weeks partly because average
quality of stock is better, but there
is still much inferior fruit moving
from all producing sections, tending
20 weaken the central markets. Bet
ter conditions are expected as soon
as the poorer stock is out of the
way. Apple shipments from all sec
tions together have been nearly one
third less than last season to date
but midWestern shipments general
ly have increased this season.
Potatoes Fairly Steady
The lighter shipments of potatoes
during the past few days tended tn
steady the markets. The price level
is fairly sustained and the western
and mid-western markets are rather
firm, although no large gains are re-
ported as compared with prices of
recent weeks. A more confident tone
prevails in northern Maine. Grow
ers appear to be holding much of
their stock in hopes of higher prices
later in the season. Growers have
been getting $1.65 to $1.75 per barrel
lately with a few sales as high as
$1.90. Competition in mid-western
potatoes in central markets tends
TO limit price gains on Maine stock.
Most of the recent Maine shipments
have been to New England, New
York, New Jersey and eastern Penn
sylvania. Maine is likely to continue
the usual heavy average of ship
ments in order to market the $4,000
to $4,000 carlots which were prob
ably produced.
