WAR ON EROSION OF
FARM LANDS MAPPED
Public Works Funds Will Be
Used in Campaign.

Westinghouse scientific campaign
to save the soil of the nations farm
lands from the deteriorating forces Of
nature is to be undertaken by the gov
eminent with part of the three bill
lion three hundred million dollars
which congress provided for public
works activity.
The campaign will be directed at
two Of the most insidious enemies Of
the farmer, which he has hitherto been
unable to combat-soil erosion and ex-
cessive run-off Of rain water. Togeth-
er, the two are estimated, on the basis
Of present prices, to have cost the
farmers Of the nation about four hun
dred million dollars a year.
Several Millions In Fund.
The public works bill specifically
provided that portion Ut the huge
construction fund made available for
emplOyment-giving activity, be utilized
IN the prevention Of soil erosion. The
amount to be devoted to this purpose
has not been made known by Public
Works Administrator Donald Sawyer,
but is expected to involve several mill
lion dollars.
At the same time, the agricultural
adjustment administration, under the
Department Of Agriculture, has an
nounced that campaign against soil
erosion is to be conducted in conjunc-
ton with the acreage reduction pro-
gram embodied in its cotton and wheat
plans.
Announcing the plan for wheat, the
agricultural administration declared
that "a shift of lands taken out Of
wheat production into soil building or
erosion prevention uses, is contem-
plated"
Cotton Section Work Planned.
A few days later, it accompanied it's
cotton acreage reduction plan with the
announcement that "land taken out
of cotton production may be used for
the production of soil Improvement or
erosion preventing crops"
The Department of Agriculture has
established ten erosion experiment sta
tions in areas where the erosion prob
lem is known to constitute a menace
to farm lands. Others are to be es-
tahlished in similar areas, under the
present plan for more vigorous ef-
fort to prevent the process.
Heavy rainfalls last year are report
ed to have washed more than three bill
lion tons of fertilizer from the farm
lands of the country and more than
one hundred thousand acres of land
were impoverished by the process Of
erosion. The Department Of Agricul-
ture estimates that more than one hum
dred million of the three hundred and
fifty million acres Of land under cul-
tivation have lost all or most Of their
fertile top soil, while another one hun
dred and sixty million acres are suffer
ing from erosion in some degree.
The erosion process, together with
the excessive run-off of water has
caused the essential destruction Of
nearly thirty-five million acres of for
merly good crop and pasture lands, &C.
cording to the department.

Lifelong Hobo Advises
Bows to Stav at Home

Salt Lake City.-Since he was a
seven-year-old boy Thomas Whitlock,
eighty-three, has been travelling about
the United States. In Salt Lake City,
recently he remarked that he expects

Food is more difficult to get now,
he says, although he adds that he
hasn't worked a day in 43 years and
has never gone hungry. He advises
boys to get of the road" remark
ing that lesson he learned too late
is that men should stay in one place
and work hard at honest toll.

STATE YOUTH
DOPED, FREED
BY ABDUCT0RS
Victim Fears Violence If He
Tells Police Story of
Kidnapping.
SLUGGED BY TWO MEN
Mouth Is Burned by Drug;
Showed Out of Car Two
Miles From Home.

BY Jntted Press
ROCHESTER, Ind, July 18.-Of-
fcials still were mystifed today by
the strange kidnapping of Keith
Dubois, 19-year-old grocery clerk
here, who was released twenty
four hours after his abduction with
out any demand for ransom.
The youth appeared to be under
a heavy mental strain. Officials
said he expressed fear of future
violence if he told the complete
story of his abduction, and that he
appeared rational only for brief
periods.
Doctors meanwhile were trying to
determine the nature of a drug ad-
ministered to the victim by his cap
tors. His lips, nose, throat and
mouth were parched and cracked
and he has suffered frequently from
nasal hemorrhages since his re-
lease.
Slugged by Men
Dubois told authorities at the
county Jail, where he was brought
after his release, that two men
followed him down a lonely road as
he walked home from work Sat-
urday night. A little further down
the lane he noticed a parked auto
mobile.
He related that as he neared the
machine the two men caught up
with him and slugged him on the
head with a blunt instrument. He
then was forced into the car.
The only other recollection he
would reveal vas that a small piece
of paper with a white powder on it
was thrust under his nose. Oblivion
came almost instantly, he said.
Pushed From Auto
Dubois resides with his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Briggs Dubois, n
mile west of Rochester. The kid
mapping occurred within two miles
of his home and he was pushed
from an automobile Sunday night
at almost the same spot. Dubois
was found by part of a posse of
nearly 200 persons.
The youth is a sophomore at
Central Normal college, Danville,
Ill. He was graduated from Ro-
chester high school in 1881 and
played on that institutions basket
ball team in the finals of the state
tourney.

that is where he outsmarted Can
dalario."
So it was that these two ranch
ers of the Big Bend country rode
off from Bouquillas into Mexico,
searching for their horses, which
they felt certain Candalario had
driven away.
A few hours later they were tc
be captives in Candalario's hands
miles across the border and far
from any assistance that could be
given them by their American
friends.
But if the possibility of this dan
gerous ev%entuality occurred to Han
mold and Rollins, it apparently
didn't worry them a bit, for they
continued on their quest straight
into the mountain area that Can
dalario rules as a bandit king.

and Rollins by Candalario Baeza,

CAR ENDS MAD RUSH

Pair Under Arrest: Machine
MoWS Down Posts.

Moving down three large posts, a
~17-year-old Ford touring car con-
tanning two men turned over sew
eral times, rolled about 100 feet and
crashed into Fall creek near the
east entrance to the state fair
ground early today.
Seriously injured and under ar
rest on drunkenness charges are
Bernard Reister, 81. of 1881 Pros
pect street, and William Phillips, 81,
of 447 North Alabama street. Po-
lice are seeking a third victim, re-
moved from the accident scene be-
fore they arrived, and reported crit
ically injured.
The ancient a turned over at
least twice and rolled into some
bushes in the creek bottom. Po-
lice said the two victims apparent
ly had laid in the creek for some
time before the accident was dis
covered, as the car motor was cold
and blood from the mems wounds
had dried.

One might expect that the chosen
method would be the ambush "a
sudden shot from a dense thicket
and a man left dying on the ground
but the crafty mind of a Mexican
bandit some times works in an I'M
usual way.
Such a murder would be far toe
obvious and would be certain tC
cause quick and effective retalia-
ton: it would be better, and safer
to have the killing done by others
in an apparently legal way.
Trap Is Set
So Candalario set his snare fol-
Art Hannold, upon whom he hac
vowed vengeance.
One morning early in May Han
mold rose to find four of his horses
had been driven off his ranch. Be
hind them was a trail that was per-
fectly clear to this man, used tc
following trails through the wilder:
ness.
Not much for horses" Hannold
unused. Guess anybody could have
bought them for $3.50. But we don't
do things that way down here in
the Big Bend. If old Candalario
gets away with those horses this
time he'll be back for more. Sc
we'll just go after him."
Hannold called a cOWhand, John
Rollins, a veteran of the rainbow
division in the World war. They
mounted their horses and set out.
Wife Is Expert With Gun
Bed rolls Slung across the backs
of saddles, rifles in the sings and
SiX-shooters at their sides they rode
into Bouquillas a few hours later to
inquire if Don Juan saba and his
wife, Chata, had seen anything of
Hannoldis horses.
Don Juan and Chata are veterans
Of the Rio Grande country. Don
Juan once was captured by Mexican
bandits and held for ransom, $500
being paid for his release.
Chata, born and reared in the
Big Bend country, has a reputation
as a crack shot; many times guests
for dinner at their ranch have seen
her shoot off the head of a chicken
she intended to cook.
Don Juan and Chata knew moth
ing of the stolen horses, SO Hannold
and Rollins crossed the shallow Rio
Grande and entered Mexico, after
getting a verbal permit from the
Mexican government authorities at
Bouquillas to enter the country
under arms.
Thwart Bandit Chief
That was exactly what old Can
dalario had hoped Hannold and
Robbins would not do. Mexican
law says that a person entering
the country under arms may be
shot unless a permit first is OBJ
tanned.

OF them wore gloves and shoes;

The porch of the lodge along
the lake shore was lined with easv-

thought that the Americans would
not get this permit and thus they
would suffer the penalty, as rules
regarding the entry of armed
aliens into Mexico seldom are
broken.
At least this is the way in which
two veterans of the Big Bend
Old Man John Hannold and his
rancher neighbor, Tom Miller-1g-
ured out the plan of Candalario.
These two old-timers know ev-
cry written and unwritten law on

"CANDALARIO knew that Art
" Hannold would go after his
stock" Uncle Tom Miller said. He
thought that when he caught young
Hannold he could have him killed
by the government for entering
Mexico under arms.
But Art had obtained a verbal
permit to go in there armed, and
