Railroad Checks
Stolen At inland

A warning was issued today to
all bands and merchants in the
valley by county authorities to
make certain of the identity of any
person presenting a Southern Pa
cific check before caShing it.
The reason for this warning is
that the Sheriff's office was noti-
fled early this morning that pack
age of Southern Pacific checks was
stolen from the inland depot be-
tween O'Clock and midnight last
night. The package contained the
paychecks for all Southern Pacific
employees in this district except
ing those in Brawley, Ell Centre and
Calexico. The numbers and total
amount of the checks was not made
known to officials at the time of
the report.

WASHINGTON, June ga seven
point program for drought relief
calling for an appropriation of
S525, 100000 was transmitted to
congress today by President Roose-
velt.
"I believe the present emergency
can effectively be met by the ap-
preparation of $685. 100000" the
chief executive wrote in a special
message, the last of such COM
munications expected to be sub
mitted to the present session.
The proposals as outlined were:
l. $125, 100000 for special work
and human relief.
2. $75,000,O00 for livestock pur-
chase in addition to the funds al
ready available under the Jones'
Connally act.
8. S100,000,000 for shipping, pro-
cessing and relief distribution of
purchased cattle.
4. $1O0,00000O for loans to farm

Problem Changing
OF the sum requested, Mr.. Roose-
velt explained that "only such por-
ton, of course, will be used as
becomes absolutely necessary. We
are dealing with rapidly chang

that the authorization should be
flexible so that funds can be al

DROUGHT WILL
CAUSE RISE IN
LIVING COSTS
Loss Of Grain Crops To Bring
Heavy Burden On Families Of
United States.
BY FRED MYERS
United Press Staff Correspondent


CHICAGO, June 9.-Danger of
national famine, a drought born
specter unlaid until rain soaked
northwestern farms, has been avert
ed. The drought, however, will
cost American taxpayers and con-
sumers a staggering sum-conserv-
atively around $2000,000, ,000-in re-
lief funds and increased food
prices.
Economic consequences of the
year-long drought are entirely in
calculable, agricultural statisticians
and economists said today.
Ten million members Of farm
families in Is states have been re-
,luced to deStitution. Country
trade communities already are
feeling a pinch which will grow in
creasingly for at last ~ months.
Livestock herds and forage reserves
have been depleted. EntomologiStS
fear a great plague next year Of
grasshoppers and cinch bugs, born
of an ideal breeding season.
Reports assembled today from IS
states by the United Press showed
that a shortage of cereal, dairy
and vegetable products already has
materially increased the cost of
living for the average family. A
Kansas City wholesale grocery firm
revealed that stocks of canned veg
etables have fallen millions of cases
below normal. Many Gamers have
withdrawn from production be-
cause of inability to obtain raw
materials. Orders from jobbers
have been refused outright.
Prices Go Up
A comparison of prices in Chi
cago retail grocery chain on March
and June revealed that a can
of corn which sold on the former
date at 9 cents now costs IL. A
box of oatmeal which formerly sold
at 8 cents now is 10 cents. Milk
has been raised from 8 to cents
quart. Butter jumped from "a
cents to %.
"The increase is uniform in veg
etables and cereals. as we'll as all
dairy products,' an executive of
the firm said. eve expect prices
to go higher after present ware
house stocks are exhausted
His opinion was backed by the
Minnesota department of agricul-
ture. Experts of the department
agreed that the drought "undoubt-
edly will result in higher food
prices, particularly in grain lines.
beef, butter products and poultry
A state-by-state analysis of prob
able relief needs attributable to the
drought in the 16 most stricken
states showed that S25 100000 ask
ed by President Roosevelt for that
purpose probably is a conservative
estimate. Illinois alone, for exam
pie, has asked $1,750,000 from the
federal government for 80 days re-
lief Estimates made by state au-
thoritieS showed that Colorado will
need $18,500,000 in the next year;
Oklahoma $2,500,000; Texas $780,
900; Kansas $3,5OO,000 Missouri
$4,000, 900
Relief directors of other states
said their figures would run much
higher, particularly in the north
west. but were unable to do better
than guess at the amounts at this
time.

The ace of diamonds was caShed

would have a fnesSing position

he was forced to discard another
