limited funds for advertising and pro-
paganda are available for the pur-
pose of selling the farmer on tractor
power. The result is he is made to
feel he is performing his chores in an
antiquated manner unless motive pow
er is used for blowing, rubbing, disc
ing, narrowing, seeding, harvesting
and all other farm work. It is an in
disputable fact however that except
for betting operations horses can per-
form any service equally well, if not
better than tractor. The following
interesting data is furnished for the
farmers consideration.
Since the termination of the World
War, there has been a steady unin-
terrupted decline in the farm popula-
ton of horses and colts. During 1918
there were 21,555,O0O horses and colts
while records of the Department of
Agriculture for January LIST, 1885 in
dicates only 1O,S27, 900 a decrease of
500.
Compare the above with the almost
constant decline in the prices the
farmer receives for his grain, straw,
and hay. Wheat prices receded from
about 1925 in 1918 to Al in 1888,
while corn in the same period dropped
from 1920 to %.
Allowing, of course, for many other
factors, the most important of which
was the slow but steady decrease in
exports of agricultural products fol-
lowing the War, we contend that the
farmer has contributed no small
amount to his own debated condition
by continued use of tractors to pro-
duce larger crops.
In so doing he has glutted an al
ready over-produced market with his

 Hollywood. Calif., Oct. 26--tUP)-- Jackie Coogan, turned 21 years old today, wealthy young man in his own right but with no more money to spend than the average colleg- ian.
 Reports circulating in Hollywood that Jackie on his Fist birthday could write a check for any part of $l, ,OO0, 900 are untrue, Mrs. Jack Coogan, ST., his mother, told the United Press in one of the few in- terviews she ever has granted.
 According to Mrs. Coogan. the fi- nancial status of her famous son is as follows:
 No Big Nest Egg
 There is no trust fund; no big nest egg to cut.
 Jacks money, earned after Charles Chaplin made him famous overnight in "The Kid" of many years ago is invested soundly in the Jackie Coogan productions.
 The money will stay there and Jack will be elected director with in a week. Mrs. Coogan and Arthur Bern stein, the company manager. will continue to hold dominant part in the dealings of the firm which ham, dies commercial paper and real es- tate. Jackie, now a university of South- ern California student, will "con- tinue to get along on his allowance like any young man should"
 Mrs. Coogan was proud that Jackie came through to manhood a regular fellow" despite the spot light turned upon him as 8 baby and as 8 young boy.
 Hollywood friends of Mrs. Coogan and her late husband, who was killed in an automobile crash Sev- eral months ago, say the parents deserve much credit for standing to

 Djibouti, French Somaliland. Oct 26-(UP)-More than quarter million Ethiopian warriors retreet- ing ahead of 60,000 invaders on e1e southern frontier are being naanellv- cred to lure the Italians Into q death trap, reliable word from Adds Ababa revealed today.
 The ambush is being laid in the deep, unexplored mountain valleys where the Webbe Shibeli, the Web and the Webbi Mana rivers take head 200 to 250 miles south and east of Addis Ababa. |
 Deliberately Planned
 A movement in the last four days of thousands of men out of the southern territory toward the northern front was deliberately de- signed, informants who have been close to authority in Adds Ababa said, to entice the Italian southern army deep into the country. 1
 It was certain that Ethiopian troops that for weeks have been scattered lmpotenCly over tne COtul- try west of the Webbe Shibela river are now marching with the speed possible only to natives toward Wadara, 250 miles as the crow flies from the capital, and to Ginir, larg- est city of the region, 50 miles northeast of Wadara.
 The veteran fighter Ras Nassibus governor of Ogaden province and commander of all Ethiopia's south- ern forces, apparently held his major force in scattered units until the Italian army penetrated far enough into the country to indt- cate its ultimate direction. Out posts of Gen. Rodolfo Granziani's army have reached point approxi- mately 35 miles north of Dolo, on the Somaliland border, in the di- rection of Ginir.
