.CATCHERS Of COLD
ARE GIVEN HOPE
Study Shows Persons Have
Fair Chance to Overcome
AffIicti0n.
By the Associated Press.


BALTIMORE, October 6.-By giving
the common cold dose of mathematics,
Johns Hopkins University investigators
have discovered a hopeful fact for the
person who catches cold easily. He has
a fair chance to get over his weakness.
There has been q widespread belief
that the person who has three or four
colds a year Is just naturally subject
to that many, and can't do anything
much about it; while there is another
section of the population which has
only about one year, come what may
Statistics Gathered
At Johns Hopkins the John j. Abel
fund for research on the common cold
after several years has accumulated, In
addition to evidence that the cause Is q
virus, a lot of statistics about students
and Baltimore families which had colds.
These statistics have been subjected
to mathematical analysis by William
NJ Gafafer and James A. Doull who
announce their preliminary findings
today in science.
They. like all other investigat tors,
found that some of their patients had
several colds o year, while others had
only one or two. They followed the
common cold experiences of these pa
tients for several years.
First, they noted, If . person had
several colds In one year he was likely
to remain in the same class the next
year. On the third successive year,
whatever change in this cold catching
status took place was too slight to be
significant.
Difference Shown.
But on the fourth year there was
a difference. Then, when two years
had intervened between the first obser-
vation and the final one, the cold
catchers were no longer uniformly VIC
Tins.
There was likewise q similar prob
ability that by the fourth year the orig
inal few-cold persons had slipped and
were catching more.
Nowhere did they ind any tendency
for the whole group to escape the aver
age number Of colds for the country's
population, which Is less than that of
the easy -catchers, and q little more
than the near-tmmunes.
The figures. they suggest, indicate
that resistance and susceptibility to
colds is likely to change from time to
time in the average individual.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, May 3
IIN.S.).-Militant leaders of the
National Farm Holiday Assocla-
ton today were perfecting plans
for the nationwide strike on May
13 by which they hope to starve
the country into complying WIN
their legislative demands.
Informed observers today fore
saw disturbances and violence Tor
the territories surrounding the
large metropolitan centers Wnen
the strikers move to halt delivery
of milk and perishable COM
modities into the cities.
1000 Delegates
With a whoop and shout the
1000 overall-clad delegates from
20 States and Canada passed the
strike resolution late yesterday
at the closing session held in the
cattle pavilion of the State falr
grounds. Loud cheers rang
through the big pavilion after the
holiday resolution, as the farmers
called it, passed.
Immediately after the vote,
some of the delegations departed
for home, planning to organize
picketers to halt the marketing
of the farm products in their
territory.
With the dawn of May 13 the
farmers plan to cease delivering
all their products to the market:
This will include eggs, milk ana
fresh vegetables. BY withholding
delivery and boarding their
crops, the agrarians expect liter
ally to starve the nation into
meeting their demands for relief
legislation, which include a guar
Antee of cost of production, plus
a margin Of profit, for their
crops and refinancing Of mort
!, cages at 112 per cent interest.
Reno to Support Strike
Milo Reno, president Of the
association, was expected to sup
port the strike, although he
fought the holiday vote all day
while awaiting action at Wash
ington Oh the pending farm relief
bill.
He had communicated with
Senator Smith, of the Agricultural
Committee, stating that if the
amendment guaranteeing the
farmer cost Of production plus a
profit were stricken out, "hell
would break loose in the Middle
west"

rich creamery across the field. AS
they drove off a man with a base
ball bat in his hand came to the
door of the creamery and stood
there watching the pickets depart.
Then about twenty or more men,
apparently armed appeared about
the creamery. They probably came
from the room which Wuethrich
had so carefully locked as the COM
mittee entered the creamery. This
caused the pickets to wonder if
the Wuethrich creamery was un-
der guard.
Plant Owners Send Deputies
The pickets went on to the r.
W. Moldenhauer plant and found
that it had been operating, up to
that morning. But Moldenhauer
told the committee that he had
turned farmers back that morn
ing and that he would not operate
further during the strike, pTovid-
ing all the rest of the places were
closed. There were several anti.
strike farmers at the plant, evil

strike farmers told the committee
that a couple of strike farmers
were making and bootlegging but

were to close down he wanted tn,

REPUBLICANS WILL
NOT PRESENT ANY
PROGRAM TO CONF.
Political Parties Asked to
Send Representatives to
Give Farm Position

CHICAGO, Ill.-The Republican
Party National Committee has
refused to present its program for
agriculture to the Farmers Sec
ond National Conference.
In reply to an invitation extend
ed by the Farmers National Com
mittee for Action which is spon-
soring the Conference, Everett
Sanders, chairman of the Repub-
lican National Committee wrote:
81 call your attention to the
latest official expression of the
views of the Republican Party on
agriculture in the platform adopt
ed by the Republican National
Convention at Chicago in 1892"
In the face of drought in the
summer of 1888 affecting large
sections of wheat farmers in the
Dakotas, Minnesota, Nebraska and
Kansas, the Republican party has
no program formulated later than
1882. In spite of continued i'm
poverishment of large sections Of
dairy farmers, many of whom are
attending the Conference from the
picket lines in Wisconsin and the
northwest where stike is now tax
irg place, the Republican Party
has nothing to say. Neither has
it anything to say about the pro-
gram undertaken by the Demo
cratic administration of Roose-
velt's blowing under of cotton and
criminal destruction of food pro-
ducts vitality needed by the hungry
in the cities. The silence of the
Republican party on these points
which are of the most outstanding
Importance to every impoverished
farmer shows that the Republican
party, instead of being an opposi'
ton party to the Democrats
regime, is in reality playing hand
in hand with it and represents TIT
same class of bankers and land
lords which the Democratic part!
represents.
Spokesman Of other political par
ties have been invited to address
the Conference and it is expecte,
that the farmers gathered in Chi
cago from all parts of the countr,
will be very critical of what eacl
has to offer the impoverishe,

speaker was Chas. Joslyn, who

Rode as Paul Revere

The demonstration, the biggest
and most militant was participated
in by the farmers of several coun-
ties, organized in few hours by
young farmers who rode in their
cars as Paul Revere before the
battle of Lexington. They went
to many communities in several
counties, telling the news Of the
dastardly assault with the inten-
ton to murder the popular young
farm leaders by the sheriff of
Clark county in a violent effort to
break the strike. The farmers
came from everywhere.
Thursday night, Nov. 2, there
was a united front strike meeting
called by the United Farmers
League at the Beaver Town hal
in Clark county, to consider the
strike, and elect united front
rank and file strike committee tc
supervise the strike and road pick

seeing that the farmers were not
moving to interfere with the sher-
Tiff and his deputies. But Sheriff
Olson, infuTiated when the gun
hammer locked, seized the gun by
the barrel, and, with the deputies
holding Witt from behind, bat
tered him on the head with the
butt Of the gun, until he sank to
the ground unconscious.
Beat and Gas Farmers
AT this time Albert Hardrath
came from a car, not knowing
what was going on, to join Har-
vey to go to see his friend, Albert
Liedzeite. The undersheriff and
deputy let Harvey fall into the
ditch and struck Hardrath over the
head with a blackjack, crumpling
him unconscious TO the ground,
then they kicked him in the ribs.
By now, a farmer shouted, "Are
we going to let Harvey be muir

off from the truck. The sheriff

At the mass meeting some one

women and a couple Of boys. The
picketS went through Loyal

to the Wuethrich creamery. They
called Wuethrich out of the cream
cry, and told him what they had
heard. Wuethrich replied that he
had made up some butter from
cream that his neighbors hac
brought in, but that he had sole
none. He promised that he woulC
not sell any that was made ans
that after the batch he had in thu
churn was made up he would no
make any more. The COMMITTEES
asked to scrutinize his creamery
Wuethrich replied that the pickett
could send a committee OF thre'
or four to make the investigation
but that he did not want the who'll
crowd in the plant. This was &C
cepted, and the committee wen
into the creamery.
They found a half a churn ful
