EDINBURG RESIDENT
PRAISES TOWN

BY Mrs. Nina Richards.
In answer to Main Street OBJ
server, I will say there must be
something wrong with him or her. l
have lived in Edinburg thirty-two
years, have been home owner
some fifteen years and have seen
very little in that time to kick about.
believe we have weathered the
depression far better than some of
the larger towns. Of course, Edin-
burg is a small town with small
town ways. and we love those ways
We are proud of our school, Our
churches, our several factories and
mills. Proud of our farmer friends,
and their industry. and our corn
belt which is known all over the
state.
We have the best drinking water
to be had in the state; we have gas
and electricity. We have very little
real suffering among our poor IN the
winter. Most of them are cared for
by their more fortunate neighbors,
few having to apply to the trustee
for help.
Most of them receiving help from
the trustee are sent by our nelghbor
state on the south.
So. 1 am for dear old Edinburg,
with it's kind friends and beautiful
homes.
Of course, if Observer likes city
ways best there are twenty-five
trains out of town daily, several
buses and good roads for hitch
hiking.
I will stay where I can get credit
from friends if I need it; where I
can afford to own a little home and
have happiness, and may God pro-
tect us from grafters.

THE sEAMEN's NEW DEAL

A y unusual election is being held on the
L Pacific coast.
Government representatives are conducting
a secret poll among thousands Of licensed and
unlicensed seafaring men in preparation for
arbitrating their strike demands. For CEN
turtles the men who manned the merchant
ships we're forced to air their grievances singly.
Il at all. and often the answer was blow Of
the hst-or Delaying pin.
NOW they are being permitted to select
their representatives, either unions or indi-
viduals. to sit at a table with the ship-owners'
spokesmen before government umpire. Thus,
the seaman is getting a taste Of economic
democracy.
Just settlement Of the longshoremen's and
seaman's strike demands only can come
through some such adjustment as the Presi-
dents mediators are trying to evolve. Perma-
nent settlement Of these and other grievances
should be provided for in code Of statutory
mechanism for adjustment, such as the rail-
roads and other industries have set up,
At the last session Of congress the senate
unanimously passed a resolution, introduced
BY Senator Hiram johnson Of California, call
ing upon the administration to take steps
toward creating a national maritime board
With such board it is unlikely that the Pa
cihc coast would have suffered this long and
costly strike Both England and Japan have
had such boards for years.
In America the double labor standard for
land and sea has persisted too long.

AGED MAN DESCRIBES
INSURANCE PLIGHT

BY Reader.
am disclosing a condition that
illustrates my own plight and prob
ably that of many others in losing
ones life insurance at the age OF
II.
I took a straight life insurance
policy in one Of the old COM
panies, rated at the time as one
Of the strongest in the coun-
try. I carried that several years.
The company merged with a large
western company. 1 kept on paying
twelve years; then, at SO, was in
duced by an agent for another COM
pany to take out a policy that would
be paid up at the age Of TO, which
proved TO be all right.
Now, when I found at the age Of
SO I could get that kind Of policy,
asked the other company TO
change the policy I had with it to
one like I had taken with the other,
that would be paid up at the age Of
10. 1t was changed for a con-
siderable advance n premium. I
reached the age OF TO and then re-
ceived the shock Of getting notice
Of premium due the same as ever.
I, OF course, thought there was a
mistake and took the policy to the
other company that wrote the term
insurance and was informed that I
would have to pay the premium as
long as I lived.
Then, to make matters worse, the
company has been reorganized and 1
have to pay 5 per cent interest on

HE WANTS TO KNOW
MORE ABOUT DILLINGER

BY C. W.
I have the idea that the DilHnger
series which is being printed in The
Times is a bit short Of the pre-run
advertising which it was given.
Most Of us will admit that Dill
linger is dead. Most Of us will adj
NIT that he was a master mind" as
far as crime went and most of US
will admit that he went the way of
all flesh.
But, before you finish that series,
let's have some Of the real inside"
on how the federal men caught up
with him. We've read all about
Matt Leach's ability, now let's hear
about the men who really finished
the job.

KINGAN SUIT NEWS
WINS APPROVAL

BY Union Man.
Thanks for the story about Tom
Smiths suit against Kingan 81 Co.
Look as I would in the other news
papers, which apparently are given
over entirely to the interests Of the
employers, I could find nothing
about the suit. Perhaps they didn't
think it was news, Ell?
We of union labor shall be look
ing forward with great deal Of
interest to see what happens in this
suit. We hope Mr. Smith will win.
Of course. If he does. a great blow
will have been struck for the unions.
Don't be scared by the Tory tao
tics Of your more conservative con-
temporaries. Keep up the good
work.

Chicago Grain
BY the Associated Press,

by tne hesOtlateu fTeSb,
CHICAGO, March 24.-1nfuenced
by predictions Of quick settlement Of
automobile labor troubles, grain prices
advanced early today. Sharp upturns
of securities were also a stimulating
factor. Opening at i4a5s gain, May
8712a8734, wheat afterWard rose fur
ther. Corn started lsal4 up and sub
sequently altered little.
Pending word of definite progress
toward solution Of urgent industrial
difficulties wheat prices held early
gains, but for the moment the rise
failed to go beyond fractional limits.
Helping to sustain values were de-
tailed reports that large sections of
domestic wheat territory showed acute
need of rain. Advices regarding
dearth of moisture Northwest were
emphasized as especially threatening
to crops.
A drought situation bordering on
the sensational was reported by ele-
yator interests as affecting Spring
wheat States. The reports said in
Minnesota and the Dakotas were the
driest spots in the Nation, and that
South Dakota at present was more
like a desert than an agricultural
State. Many farmers were asserted
to be debating whether to abandon
Spring work entirely. Corn and oats
paralleled wheat market upturns.
Provisions were f1rmer, responsive
to action of hog values and of grains.
Wheat futures purchases yesterday
totaled 4,583,000 bushels, corn, 1926
600. Open interest in wheat was
ll8.l8O,O00 bushels, and in corn,
96,418,000.

The opening rally was but a partial
response to the f1rmness at Liverpool,
as the market met offerings from
houses with foreign connections and
selling by the South, locals and wire
houses. The demand came from the
trade, spot houses and commission
houses, and the market advanced

tooer from 1915 to 1922 or to net

buying was attributed to overnight

were attributed to trade calling and

parison with the same month last
year net results doubtless will show
marked improvement. Total freight
loadings last north reached 2,306.-
869 cars, $4,000 cars or about l2.l
per cent ahead of February last year.
The movement would have been sub
stantially heavier perhaps had not
traffic been impeded by severe storms
in most sections of the country dur
| ing the month.
Additional expenses growing out OF
the task Of keeping traffic moving in
| face of heavy SHOWS doubtless cut
| rather deeply into increased gross.
The New Haven, it will be recalled. es-
| timated such additional costs reached
| $500, 900 in its own case.
! People in the vicinity of Detroit,
| feeling better about the outlook for
settlement of the labor disturbance
threatening. the automobile industry.
are reported to be quietly buying the
stocks of the leading accessory COM
panies. The accumulation is based, it
is said. on the belief that agreement
| to postpone the projected strike for
any appreciable length of time will
| lead to broad demand for products of
such units. The motor companies. it is
argued. will move to stock up heavily
on various parts used in construction
of their products.
Detroit dispatches received here in-
dicate that there is less apprehension
in the air over the general situation.
In fact, well informed interests there
are reported satisfied that serious in
terruption to motor production will be
aYerted,
Returning from conference Of the
tire code authority in Palm Beach,
w. ONeill, head of General Tire &
Rubber, expressed his belief that tire
prices will be so per cent higher in
a year. He said he did not view
higher prices with the alarm felt by
some economists adding that It seems
to him an enormous purchasing
power is building up which indicates
a general prosperity in all lines. And
while manufacturers are evidently
looking ahead for higher prices there
is apparently still some considerable
portion of the retail trade willing to
undercut list prices in material way
on current business.

STOCKS IMPROVE

Many Shares Up Fractions
to Point, With Motors
Taking Lead.
BY VICTOR EUBANK.
Associated Press Financial Editor.

NEW YORK, March 24.-Stock
market sentiment improved today as
further reports from Washington in
dicated hopes of a compromise in the
automobile labor controversy. Led by
the motors, many issues recovered
fractions to a point or more in rela-
lively quiet trading. The close vas
firm. Transfers approximated ESQ.,
600 shares.
The principal activity occurred in
the first half hour. There was some
quick profit taking. however. and the
volume dwindled appreciably. Some
short covering later brought the LIST
up to around its peak level of the brief
session.
Grains, cotton, rubber and silver
futures turned up with equities, all
though there was little buoyancy
shown by the commodities generally.
Bonds were a little mixed. United
States Government securities received
some support. International dollar
rates again recorded only Sight
changes.
Shares of General Motors. Chrysler.
Nash, Hudson and Auburn got up
more than a point. The rails reflected
reports of better traffic and earnings.
New York Central, Union Pacific,
Santa Fe, Pennsylvania and Southern
Pacific were almost as firm as the
automotive group.

NEW YORK, March PA sub

ported to have been built up in the
New York cotton market in conse-
quence of arbitraging, which has been
in progress recently. AS the story
goes foreign spectators have been
seeking to take a profit out of the
market through seeking to turn the
differentials existing between prices
here and at Liverpool to their own ad-
vantage. These arbitrage dealings be-
tween New York and Liverpool are
reported to have involved considerable
selling here for Bombay accounts, and
if current gossip is substantially cor
rect have not been worked out so well.
