FAMILY HAD CEASED
TO BE APPREHENSlVE

TACOMA, Wash, June /. (UP)
The family physician for the Wey-
erhaeusers believed last night that
J. P. Weyerhaeuser had been in
contact with the kidnapers Of his
SON, George. 9, and has been as
sured of the boys safety.
DR.. R. C. Schaeffer last night
told friend, who requested tnat
his identity be concealed, that the
Weverhaeuser family had made
contact with the abductors since
the demand for 100000 ransom
was received last Friday, six hours
after the boy disappeared.
The physician intimated 'aSt
night that the ransom had not
been paid up to then. =
He said the boy was still held
captive, but that the family was
no longer worried.
Spokesman for the timber clan
continued however to insist that
no word had come from the kid
napers-believed the Alvin karpls
gang - since the original note
signed "Egoist."
Other developments yesterday
bore out DR.. Schaeffer's statement.
In fleeing contacts with the
public and press, members OF the
! family and intimate friends ap.
peared to be tired and nervous
! but not distraught by worry.
In contrast to the fore part OF
the week, there was little activity
at the house and the air of tense
ness appeared to have lifted:

Shippers Establish
Trucking Service

A livestock trucking service
was established by the Redwood
County Cooperative Shipping as
ISOLATION at a special meeting at
tended by so stockholders in the
commissioners room in the court
house.
The service will be conducted as
an experiment for six months and
if at that time patronage war
rants its continuance, the service
will be established permanently.
A rate lower than the present
trucking fees will be set.
c. E. Lee of the Central Com
mission company at South ST..
Paul spoke at the meeting and
stated that 60 other communities
in the state are operating services
successfully. The stockholders
voted to set aside $75S balance
as an operating fund, with a d.
vidend to be declared and distri-
buted every six months. The as
sociation's board met Saturday
afternoon to incorporate the serv-
ice into the organizations articles.

Sales Tax Question
Splits Legislators
OF Redwood County

Redwood county representatives
in the state legislature split on
the question Of the omnibus tax
bill which passed late Thursday
50 to So. John M. Zwach, who in
Gazette articles has explained
Objectionable features of the sales
tax, voted with the Farmer-Lab-
orite members in opposing the bill
while Fred H. Dawson cast his
ballot with the conservative
forces.
The bill is now before the SEN
ate where it is likely to pass with
changes. 1t then will go to Gov
ernor Olson who has objected to
the sales tax, the major item in
the bill, and is likely to veto the
entire bill. In that case the house
apparently lacks the votes to pass
it over his veto and some COM
promise or substitute measure
will have to be passed.

HOcus POcus Cures
For Livestock Ills
Rarely Satisfactory

"Now that spring has come
hocus-pocus statesmen of all
sorts are circulating freely
again." says DR.. w. A. Billings,
extension veterinarian, University
Farm, st. Paul. "Many of them
are engaged especially in per-
suading certain gullible farmers
to buy cures for all the aches and
pains of their livestock and poul-
try.
Nothing is too difficult for
them to recognize and cure. They
open chickens and prescribe this
and that as a guaranteed cure for
the ailment. More often than not
these so-called experts do not
know one end of chicken from
another-but that does not dis
turb them in the least. 1t seems
all they need is a box of hog or
chicken tonic to become expert ad-
visers to our farm public.
1T is always difficult to under
stand why many farmers persist
in getting their advice concerning
livestock disease problems from
wandering peddlers," DR.. Billings
continues. "They have reputable
veterinarians in their own COM
munities who stand ready to help
with such aid as is safe and sane.
This service often costs far less
than the questionable advice and
so-called service handed out by
the vender of cure-alls who is
here today and gone tomorrow.
Many of these masquerade under
various high-sounding titles, but
patronizing them usually spells
only one thing-dissatisfaction to
the buyers of their wares.

Successfully by The Juniors

Playing their roles with the

the pupils Of the Junior High
school were most successful in the
staging of the three act comedy,
"Miss Molly's Girl" Friday night
in the Lincoln auditorium.
Especially adapted for use by
younger boys and girls and ex-
pertly coached by Miss THETA
Aske, the play was filled with
humorous situations, all of which
were worked out by methods
characteristic to children of that
age.
James Pease was excellent as
the boy Narciss, product of the
city's east side, who was forced to
be Miss Molly's Girl, as was Ruth
Roswell in her impersonation Of
the slangy gum-chewing flapper.
Betty Green and Berna Scheffler
were successful elderly maidens;
Allen Fobes was most deacon
like; Ted Kruger was sufficiently
terrifying as the burglar and De-
lores Neale, Jean Drogosch, Ar.
lene Waller, John Lair, Douglas
Mckay and Billie Tiffany were
very life-like as the small town
children.
Between-act specialties directed
by Miss Ann Vein were most en-
joyable. Betty Serkland, Margar-
ct Jaehning and Marjorie Bron-
son sang a group of songs; Kath-
crime Treu and Mavis Reynolds

New Wheat Ruling
Changes Detailed

Explanation Of a new ruling of
the Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
ministration, which partially lifts
the restrictions for 1885 of the
wheat adjustment contract, was
contained in a letter received by
County Agent Nate H. Bovee last
week from Andrew Boss, state
director of AAA programs.
The new ruling, Mr.. Bovee
points out, applies only to the
farms of contract signers who will
agree to reduce their 1886 wheat
acreage by the amount of their
1885 acreage increase, if an ad-
justment program for 1886 should
be offered. 1t does not in any
way lessen the restrictions on
farms operated by contract sign
ers but which are not covered by
contracts.
"Planting in 1885 is limited to
80 per cent of the average base
acreage plus 75 per cent" Mr..
Boss's letter reads. "This means
that the total maximum planting
for 1885 may be 165 per cent of
the base acreage. In cases where
wheat was overplanted last year
and the overplanting has been
covered by Wheat Form No. 46,
which calls for reduction of this
amount in 1885, the acreage in
Dictated must be subtracted.
GAS an example, a producer
having a wheat base of 100 acres
for the base years would be per-
mitted to plant 80 acres this year
under the original provision of
the contract. To this, he may add
rs per cent of his base acreage,
or rs acres. Thus his total wheat
acreage for 1885 could be as high
as 165 acres. If he overplanted
by 10 acres in 1884, which amount
is covered by Form 46, deduc-
ton of 10 acres must be made,
leaving him 1876 acres yet.
'The state AAA office has no
instructions that the contracted
acres may be released. Therefore
the above producer would still
have 10 acres of the original
wheat which must be reserved as
contracted acres subject to the
provisions of the wheat contract.
ITO comply with his contract,
the producer must plant, in 1885,
at least 81 per cent Of his base
acreage.
"The producer should make
sure, by measurement, if necess-
airy, that he has sown the least
number of acres required; that
his contracted acreage is the full
number of acres called for by the
terms of his contract, and that he
has not sown more than 165 per
cent of his base acreage, less any
acreage he may have overplanted
in 1884 and which is covered by
Form 4-46.
Farmers who observe these
requirements will receive the
benefit payments specified in their
contracts"
