FARMERS MUST
HAVE EQUALITY
New Deals Support OF
Agriculture Seen AS
Permanent Policy

BOSTON, Nov. q. CP-w. w.
Waymack, associated editor Of the
DeS Moines Uowa) Register and Til
bune predicted Friday that govern
ment support of agriculture compar-
able TO its past support Of industry
Is here to stay in its essentials"
There is not much use locking
on the program Of government sup
port for agriculture, comparable to
past government support for indus
try. as just a nuisance that must be
put UP with briefly" said Waymack
in an address prepared for the New
England conference, a group Of
business and political leaders.
This thing, I believe. is peTman-
ent III its eSsentialS-not necessarily
the present methods, -" but the ac-
tuality Of having the farmer at the
national table from now on instead
Of under 1t catching the crumbs.
ANY party that hopes to take
the farm west away from those who
politically now have its allegiance
must, in my Judgment. produce not
a loving declaration but a specific
plan, virtually a legislative program
in the form OF a platform plank. 50
persuasive that it looks at least
Is good as the agricultural adjust
ment administration and so con-
crete as to create confidence in 1886.
Il may add that the farmer SO
is rather weary Of being told that. Of
course. he is entitled to economic
equality under Jul system. but that
every specific plan to achieve it is
unsound. unconstitutional and I'M
American"

CARELESSNESS
BLAMED FOR
SODA DEATHS
Origin of One Lethal
Powder Found But
Other Still Puzzle
To Authorities

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. %. tP-A
full barrel of deadly poison was re-
ported Friday by DR.. j. G. Geigert
city health director, to have been
mixed with baking soda sold at bar
gain prices to hundreds Of San
Francisco housewives.
A department store employees
c~aFeleSSnes, Dr.. Geiger said, may
have been responsible for introduc-
ton Of the poison into the soda. At
least three deaths have been attri-
buted TO the poisoned kitchen staple.
Find Pure Poison
The health director said the dis
covery was made when the store
owner turned over to the health de-
partment one Of three empty bar
rels Of baking soda" the store had
sold in bulk form during the past
month.
He explained that an employee had
informed him that two display bar
relS were refilled, as their contents
were sold, from this barrel.
d.. Geiger said a few pounds OF
powdered substance In the bottom
Of the barrel was virtually pure
poiSon-the less active OF the two
found IN the contaminated baking
soda.
On the outside Of the barrel the
crude admonition, do not totch or
take" had been lettered three inches
high with black crayon. The barrel
also bore another legend, "Scour-
ing Powder"
The employe, questioned by city
health officers, said the barrel was
one Of six purchased from a San
Francisco salvage firm as baking
soda"
Dr.. Geiger said when the en-
ploye was asked how he could iden-
tify 10, he replied that he remem-
bered the inscriptions on the side
Of the barrel.
Fails TO Answer
When asked why. despite the warn
ing on the barrel, he had opened 1t
and then emptied its contents into
the other barrels, the employe, DR..
Geiger asserted, did not answer.
While health authorities believed
they had accounted for the pres
sence Of one poison in the soda, they
still were at a loss to explain how
the second, and more lethal of the
two. was introduced.
The death of George Purnaras, a
dishwasher, who died three hours
after taking bicarhonate Of soda,
was being investigated. Deputy Ccro-
ner Anthony Trabucco said Purn-
aras' death looked suspiciously like"
q case Of poisoned soda.

2 turned to the people.
Brownsville needs q business
administration by business men, he
said. "A legal mind and a business
mind are entirely different, and
Brownsville is a business The
speaker declared that business is at
its lowest ebb in so years in Browns
vile and that there have been
more business failures by good
merchants" here than in any other
south Texas city. He said a pro-
gressive administration by progress
sive business men would greatly
improve conditions here.
Tanning declared that the police
and fire departments should, be
taken out Of politics, and that the
chamber Of commences policies
should be changed. He favored a
reduction Of water and light rates
as much as possible in keeping with
good business practices.
He concluded by urging the club
women not to heed personal gossip
in the campaign. Tanning declared
that many false rumOrs are being
spread. An I ask is that you give
me a Christian chance" he said.
Yturria, speaking second. stress
cd his ideas for Identification
through reduced water and light
rates. With lower rates, he said,
merchants can afford to light the

owners can use water generously in
improving lawns and flower beds.

urging Brownsville people for all
municipal Jobs, reduction Of city

II elected. Yturria said. the
Women's organizations will get his
fun cooperation. He said he would
name an advisory board Of cluD-
women TO aid in outlining the city
policies. particularly III regard to
Identification and improvement.
He objected TO the trash dump
situated near Los Ebanos. saying
the smoke vas often Objectionable
to residents there. High water
rates are hampering Brownsville
residents in the development OF
lawns and flower beds, he said, and
that was one Of the reasons why
he favored a reduction.
We hope TO relieve the employ
ment situation through replacing
unnecessary machines with manual
labor. We intend to bring in new
industries in order TO give our
people more work"
He concluded by saying: II want
Brownsville to be not only the big
gest city in the Valley, but also the
prettiest."

MILKMEN AWAIT MONDAY FARLEY
Current Problems Affect ing Industry to Be Dis.
 cuSSed in Hartford

Waterbury milk dealers will at- tend a conference Monday after noon at the Public Utilities rooms of the state capitol building at Hartford for a discussion of cur rey.t problems affecting the indus try in Connecticut. The session has { been called by Administrator s. Mclean Buckingham of the state administration committee, and will follow the regular meeting of the Connecticut Milk Producers associ- ation.
 o Local dealers are said to feel that although there has been shortage dude to subnormal production and seasonal conditions, prices should met be raised at this time. Richard c. Fisher. vice-president and gen- erOl manager of R. r. Worden X Sons, Inc, said Waterbury dealers did not favor a price increase. He sail the price situation, as far as he knew, would not enter into the dircussion at the meetings Monday.
 tSontributary causes of the short- age are said to be lack of surplus and a gradually increased consump- ton, resulting in better prices for the producer but with the dealer get rg the same margin. Produc- tion figures have not been compiled beyond July by the state admins tration. In July, however, 250,000 more quarts of milk were produced than the 18 million quarts produced during the same period of the prev dous year. Producers averaged five and six cents quart for milk in Septeber and October.
