Cptting appropriations for the state
department. of agriculture by ST =
022,170 for The next biennum, as
recommended by the senate fact
finding committee, was approved
today by the agricultural legisla-

represent cooperative farm organi-

excess Of 10000
THE farmer will prefer to do
with less government, even conced-
ing that many of the present serv-
ices are worth while, if he could af-
ford to pay for them," said Ralph
H. Taylor, executive secretary OF
legislative committee.
while the report of the senate's
economy committee necessarily calls
for drastic pruning, some of which
might not be justiried if financial
conditions were normal, it is, for
the most part, in line with the rigid
economy program the farmer has
demanded"

POSSES HAVE
NICE EVENING
OF SHOOTING

PLEASANTVILLE, Ia, Feb.
13. U.P)-When Night Marshal
Clarence Smith sees holdup men
after this, he's going to investi-
gate personally instead of call
ing out a posse, he decided to-
day.
Smith, seeing two suspicious
characters, called the telephone
operator to muster a vigilante
organization. Soon a group of
30 men gathered stealthily
armed with sawed off shotguns
and revolvers.
Smith, fearing delay might be
disastrous, personally recruited
another group of men. They
watched from the basement en-.
trance at a barber shop.
All night long the vigilantcs
barricaded the town bandstand,
peppered at vigilantes in the
barber, shop and the return fire
was enthusiastic. Meanwhile the
suspicious characters escaped.
Worried over the firing, the
telephone operator summoned
sheriffs of two adjacent conn.,
ties, who arrived at daybrcak,
to find almost every able bodied
man in town engaged in the
battle.
There were no casualties and
no one wounded. Each side
admitted it had just been trying
to scare the others away.

time since the war debts crisis arose
that she is now ready to give the
United States something tangible in
return for revision.
The announcement of Premier j.

commons that the government has
agreed to discuss economic problems
at Washington was regarded as an
about-face since Neville Chamber
lain, chancellor of the exchequer
declared in speech less than two
weeks ago that there will be no
swapping deal"
The change in the governments
attitude represents a signal victory
for Franklin D. Roosevelt in his
first approach 10 probably the most
pressing foreign problem he will be
called on to meet when he enters
the White House.
However, the actual credit for
bringing Britain and the United
States to a commonly acceptable
basis of settlement belongs to Sir
Ronald Lindsay, British ambassador
to Washington, who conferred with
Mr.. Roosevelt before coming here
for debt discussions with his gov
ernment.
In numerous conferences since
his return he did his utmost to
show the cabinet realistically the
strong feeling in congress and pub

against reducing war debts without
receiving something in compensa-
ton.
