Vocational Department Aid Farmers
In Making Economic
Adjustment

The "back-to-the-f farm, move
ment which has taken place during
the past year and the need of in
tensified farm practices on the part
of those already on farms, has I'M
posed new and serious responslblll-
ties upon the 5000 teachers Of the
$500 vocational agriculture schools
in the various states, w. Harry
King, member of the federal board
for vocational education, says. Rec
ognizing," he adds, ''that under
present economic situation the
farmer can best help himself by in
creasing his efficiency, cutting his
costs, cooperating with his fellows
in marketing and other enterprises,
and by raising more products Tor
home consumption, vocational agrl-
culture teachers have focused their
instruction upon intensive methods
of production and marketing. Re-
ports from 200 vocational agricul-
ture teachers in Ohio show that IN
creased emphasis is being placed
upon farm management, farm ac-
counting, and marketing problems.
Last year 1928 all day, part-time
and evening students in 216 COM
munities in Ohio kept farm account
records on their home farms, with
the assistance of their vocalonal
agriculture instructor Ten boys In
the NJ e M. high school are carry
ing such records as a part of their
work in connection with classes
conducted by r. E. Burdick.
"Such records Mr.. Burdick
states, enable farmers to anaiyze
their business. This analysis may
indicate a need for charges III the
farm program that will better adapt
it to present conditions" The NJ.

Toilet Goods Specialist AT The
Harris Pharmacy

Miss Cecilia Tilsen who is at
Harris Pharmacy this week, who is
a toilet goods specialist, is an ex-
ceptional artist in her line of work.
She would have to be since she IS
sent out by the Rexall drug COM
pany. She has been. at Hollywood,
where she gave information and
help on the correct care of the COM
pleXion to a number of the leading
movie stars, the same sort of SER
vice she is giving this week at the
Harris Pharmacy, to the women OF
Morgan county. So many nave
availed themselves of her services
that she has been very much rush
ed, but it is hoped that all who
would like her service, which is
personal, private and without cost,
will get an appointment with her.
This enterprising drug store en-
deavored to have her remain for
another week, but her work is so
planned and there is such demand
for her services, that she cannot
remain longer than this week in
Malta.
Miss Tilsen has many interesting
to relate, in connection with her
work with Hollywood stars.

GarnerSeesG. COP. Deserted
By Big u. S. Bankers

Vice President John M. Garner
confessed today that he enjoyed
the work he did as ranking minor
ity member of the House Ways
and Means Committee better than
any other he has ever done.
Asked if he would rather be back
there than in his present position
as presiding officer of the Senate,
he said:
"WelI, I'll answer you this
way 1 have always enjoyed an
active life, but / would not give
up the office I now hold"
A Silent Partner
This conversation was started
when the Vice President was asked
if, as a former member of the
Ways and Means Committee whose
views on tax questions were
highly regarded, he did not have
something to say about tax issues
which will come before the coming
session of Congress. He replied:
'No, 1 don't talk about those
things any more. The chief of
our firm does the talking. /
am the silent partner"
He admitted, however, that he
believes he has a pretty thorough
understanding of tax questions,

Half was for Henry, the other
half to be saved for himself =,
Henry spent all of it. Carl said,
and when questioned produced the
gun and threatened to shoot.
The court informed Henry that
the only thirg that saved him

Servant Admits Killing
Finnish Munitions Head

LONDON, Dec. 80 GN.S0.-A
servant named Jenny Antilla to.
day confessed the murder of Lieut..
Col. Asplund, chief of the Finnish
government ammunition works,
an Exchange Telegraph dispatch
from Helsingsfors said.
Colonel Asplund died by poison
ing. The dispatch said the girl
declared she did not intend to kill
the officer but merely wished to
drug him while she stole num-
ber of important documents.
The girls confession apparently
bore out the governments suspi.
cion that Colonel Asplund died at
the hands of an international es-
pionage ring. She said she re"
ceived about $40 and the poison
from Russian named Stenij.
The Washington times., 1933-12-30

due to his long service on the
Ways and Means Committee, add
ing:
you know, after you sit on a
committee like that hearing the
views of the best minds in
America on tax questions and
reading briefs submitted by
them, you cannot help but alb
sOrb a few things. 1t was my
job to settle those questions and
1 had some good teachers"
See Bankers Change
Asked if Ogden Mills, former
Secretary of the Treasury, was
one of those good teachers" Mr.
Garner replied:
well, I'll say he had some
very positive views at least"
Touching on politics in general
the Vice President asserted that
he does not believe many of those
who followed the old guard Re
publicans would rally to that
group in the future. He said:
"Of the 10000 or $4,000 bank
ers in the country, 1 think there
are at least 10000 who would
decline to support the old guard
Republicans any more. And
those bankers were the main
support of that old regime"

The legislative program for the
first regular session of the Sew
enty-third Congress, which opens
Wednesday, will be discussed at
a White House luncheon tomor-
row by President Roosevelt and

bassy, and their attorneys, Mr..

Seems Ordeal to Him
Switz, hatless, was pale and
appeared worried. To him it
seemed to be an ordeal. His wife,
however, was Smartly dressed and
completely composed. She told
International News Service:
81 am feeling fine. I am
perfectly confident everything
will be o. K"
Both were taken into the room
in which they had lived until
their arrest week ago. It had
been sealed since. Inside, Mrs.
Switz told the police:
1--WE put nothing behind the
wardrobe where documents
were alleged to have been
fOund). If anything was found
there it must have been planted"
Police Take Papers
Police took a few papers they
found, but declined to comment.
From the hotel the party went
to the express company office.

and inspected.
The SwitZeS were taken on the
round in separate automobiles
from their separate prisons, but
were allowed a few moments to-
gether at the hotel. They em-
braced affectionately.
A large crowd packed the street,
and more onlookers had gathered
outside when the party reached
the express company office.
