"Laddie," Fred Fleming's cocker
spaniel is dead. Some one said "the
more see of dogs and men, the more
1 think of dogs" Of course, this was
merely an expression of disappoint-
ed old grouch-possibly a sour old
bachelor-but Laddie had many of the
traits that gave some reason for the
statement. Intelligent, obedient, affec-
tionate and loyal. He was an unusual
dog-a friend, a companion, and a
guard, whose only interest seemed to
be to win and retain the approval of
his master and mistress.

Among other recommendations
were: That counties or groups Of
counties employ trained and compe-
tent persons to supervise social pro-
jects. including poor relief; that &C.
tion looking toward removal Of . de-
pendent or one likely to become .

washington, Jan. 20.-(R-Senator
McNary Of Oregon Friday told news
paper men after a conference with
President-elect Roosevelt that the in

Earlier the President-elect express,
ed to Senator Robinson Of Arkansas,
the Democratic leader. his emphatic
desire for the enactment Of farm re-
lief before March 4.
The senate agriculture committee
Friday considered the bill in execu-
tive session, but failed to get to the
point Of acting on provisions of the
measure.
A possibility that public hearings
might be dispensed with In the in
terest Of speed was indicated by Nc
Nary who said earlier in the week
that the demand for testimony was
too strong to resist and the hearings
would be held.
Another caller at the suite Of the
Observation-Disclosures A. O.'Neal,

reau Federation-came away with the
impression that Roosevelt did not de-
sire to confine the operations of the
domestic allotment plan to wheat and

AGRICULTURE SEES
RAYSOF HOPE FROM
CONGRESS, STATES
Iowa Governor Asks Morator-
ium on Foreclosures Pend.
ing Action BY SoIons

Des Moines, Ia, Jan. 20.-(P)-
Mortgage burdened farmers Of the
midwest professed Friday to see a
ray Of hope Of agricultural relief In
congress and the state legislatures.
The latest cause for hope was the
proclamation Of Democratic Cover
nor Herring of Iowa, calling upon
holders Of realty and personal mort
cages to cease foreclosure proceed
ings. The governor proposed that the
moratorium be effective until the
Iowa legislature had time to adopt
remedial measures.
In Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and
Minnesota bills designed to relieve
mortgages are pending.
A mortgage relief bill was the spe-
cial order of business in the Wiscon-
sin house Friday. And in the nations
capital, Chairman Summers Of the
house judiciary committee has said
he is certain that legislation to re-
form the bankruptcy laws would be
reported to the house.
Beset by taxes they felt exorbitant
In the face Of declining revenue
farmers have been fighting their
cause with increasing vigor.
One Of the first demonstrations In
Iowa was that against q state law
compelling testing Of cattle for
tuberculosis. In 1880 they resisted
testing attempts and the Iowa ma
tional guard troops were sent into
several counties to guard veteran
iarians conducting the the tests.
Strike Was Direct Blow
Then came the midwest farm
strtke"-the first direct protest
against low farm prices. The pinch
OF the mortgage was beginning to
be felt. and the movement spread
through the medium of the Farmers
Holiday association into the Dakotas
Minnesota, Nebraska. Oklahoma and
other midwest states. Farm produce
was held from market. Outbreaks Of
violence followed and the movement
gradually slowed.
But the Holiday association con-
tinued its work, as the mortgage
situation became more acute. "Coun-
cils Of defense" were organized In
many counties to seek agreements
between creditor and debtor.
And Is mortgage foreclosures con-
tinued. force again was used. An at
torney, seeking to purchase q farm
at less than the mortgage for his
insurance company, was threatened
with lynching In one Iowa COM
munity.
In two cases. one In Wisconsin and
the other In Iowa, officers were
forced from farms at the point OF
guns when they sought to serve no.
tices Of foreclosure Or . writ Of at-
tachment. \,
In other Iowa. wisconsin, Mime
sofa and NebraSlka communities fore
closure sales were forcibly prevented:
or friends Of the foreclosed farmer
bought back his personal property ct
minimum bids.
As the situation became increasing
" critical. Legislatures conveuing THU
month promised that measures foy
some form Of relief would b given
precedence, together With bills 1oe
drastic tax reductions.
