A partial list o. payments in ex-

did not disclose the names Of the
recipients, was submitted by Wal
lace to Senator Smith CD Of
South Carolina in anticipation Of
the Senate's approval Of the reso-
luton of Senator Vandenberg (R)
Of Michigan to require the AAA
to submit a list Of all its payments
Of $1,000 or more.
The report showed a Florida
sugar corporation had received the
largest amounts total Of $1,067,-
665 in three checks. An Hawaiian
sugar producer got q single check

to making these public for fear
they you'd be used by interests
wishing to exploit farmers COM

Of the money has been paid out,
"Some Of the original reasons no
longer will apply"
"The real significance Of
these large payments is not in
the fact that, in paying uni

Freedom for Elders
a The Ruling of Parents by Grown
" Children Often Amounts to TYRANNY

p ECENTLY, says a woman
~ writer of note, read a letter
from a young married woman,
who, having a house in which
she evidently took pride, and large
enough to accommodate her mother,
was disturbed. She resented the
fact that her mother refused to
live there, although she had been
invited to do so. She complained
of her mothers travels, and her
insistence in keeping her own
home.
1t was impossible not to con-
slider what were the reasons UNI
DERIVING the invitation. The young
woman said her friends thought
the situation strange, and S h
feared they blamed her for not
having her mother with her. Such
super-sensitiveness is certainly a
mistake. It can scarcely be taken
as the real reason for her an
noyance. The home atmosphere
would scarcely be improved by
having reluctant member in
cluded in the family life, even
though the husband agreed to it.
A reason of money might exist.
That is, there is lurking sug-
gestion that the daughter disliked
the mother being at the added
expense of keeping up her home,
and spending money in travels,
which went as far as European
trips. The letter said that the
mothers health was good. Could
it be that the money saved by
the mother should she live with
the daughter, would revert to the
daughter? Or would the mother
be expected to pay board, or make
some contribution to the home,
although of a less stipulated sum?
Whatever the fundamental rea-
son for the daughters dilemma,
one cannot but sympathize with
the mother. Here is a woman
who cherishes her freedom, and
is enjoying it evidently. Either
she had been accustomed to trav-

Weather Control

Scientists can now control the
weather of the world if it wants

Df DR.. Frank r. Ruff, lifetime
student of the effect of climate
on health.
To bring frigid weather to Eu-
rope, for example, he recently
said all that is necessary is to
close the strip of ocean between
the Florida Keys and the main
land. The warm gulf stream flows
through here on its way across
the Atlantic to Europe. II it were
gut off Europe would no longer
have the warm current to mod

when she is free to do so and has
the wherewithal.
A great deal has been said and
written about letting children have
their right of freedom of action
and ideas. 1t is not they alone
that must have this privilege.
Parents, when they get older are
often ruled with rods of iron by
the children who were themselves
granted freedom. This ruling of
elders is often under the guises
of affectionate care, and patron
izing kindness and it sometimes
becomes a tyranny, especially
over mothers. Such situations are
indeed difficult.

This Carolina Farmer
Really LiUes At Home

LumbertOn, Dec. 22.-Jason Odum,
industrious Robson county farmer,
meant business when he adopted a
"live-at-home" slogan.
Getting his 1886 start with the aid
of rehabilitation loan from the Re-
settlement Administration he resolved
to raise his own food supply. The re-
suit was that he rounded out the year
with plenty of heat, rceat, lard AMI
canned goods to ,un his family tho

and butte and a ;lc"k OF ch,cxens to

good cash crops of tobacco and cot

II. C. Green, county rehabilitation
supervisor, credited Odum with zone
of the outstanding records in North
Carolina"
According to the supervisors report,
all of Odum' 'workstock died last year
and he was unable to ocstain neces-
sary credit for replacing the stock in
the spring. His application for assis-
lance was approved by the Resettle-
ment Administration and he was

to the majority leadership, but the
speakership is supposed to follow the
leadership in due course.
O'CONNjOR IN BAD GRACE
Well, O'Connor has offended the
Roosevelt administration. It is not for
mally admitted, but it is well known
AS chairman Of the House Rules
Committee the New Yorker was in a
position to prepare the way for GER
tain legislation which the administra-
ton desired-and he did not do it. In
fact, he is reputed to have opposed
some of this Legislation. Besides, he is
a Tammany Democrat, and Tammany
is not in any too good favor with the
White House.
O'Connors brother, who formerly
was the Presidents law partner in
New York, fought the bill to regulate
utilities holding companies, and
O'Connor himself seemed unsym-
pathetic. He has been termed anti
New Deal.
Consequently O'Connor has not had
the support he may have expected
otherwise.

he produced fifty-two bushels of

$50 quarts of fruits and vegetables.
Odum's assets this fall also includ-

rock pullets and a good cow.

himself worthy of her trust.
81 have rather a queer little
smoking den," the Colonel said,
after a pause. well have coffee
and liqueurs up there, and then we
can talk"
Reid rose without word, and
the silent Indian, inscrutable and
menacing, held the door open.
They assembled the broad staircase
to the first floor. AS in most old
manor houses, there were only two
stories and no attics.
Colonel Graham paused, as
though listening to the wild and
the weird noises of creaking beams
and rafters, inseparable from an
old house.
"I'll show you your room," he
said, turning quickly, as though
for a moment he had forgotten
Reds presence.
Reid shrugged slightly, it was no
good protesting; and Graham
opened door, showing a large,
well-furnished bedroom with a
bright fire burning, and an cleo
trio light over the bed for reading,
with a conveniently placed book
shelf by the side. A decanter and
siphon lay on small table.
II hope you will find everything
you want here" the Colonel said
1rbanely. "You can ring if you
require anything; have one Of my
Indian servants on duty at night
downstairs, a relic of my old CAM
paigning days, I suppose" He
spoke lightly, but Reid thought he
detected warning in the smooth
words.
They went along the gallery to
door, which the Colonel opened,
disclosing short, steep stairway
between walls, such as generally
leads to lofts, and switched on the
light. To Reid's imagination this
led to some prison in the roof, but
at the top. on opening another
door, a delightful, cosy room was
revealed, square and nesting in
the roof. The walls were almost
entirely of glass, uncurtained, and
the fierce rain beat against the
panes. Skins Of beasts lay on the
floor, and comfortable armchairs
were scattered about. Seen from
outside, the place would be taken
for a lantern to light the hall.
Reid took a seat before wide
fireplace, where the fire smoked
badly with the shortness of the
chimney and the strong wind.
There is a fine view from
here" the Colonel said, taking a
large black Indian cigar from
box filled with tea. I'm the day.
time one can see right over the
valley, and the village lies below,
It's my favorite room"
It was indeed C 0 m a b e
enough, and a good snuggery for
lonely man; but somehow Reid
felt that there was a sinister at
mosphere about this room, placed
like an eyrie from which the COL
onel, like human eagle, could
watch the valley beneath him.

to any environment, he could not
understand his sudden access to
favor. especially with the over
bearing Colonel
The latter seemed nervous,
rather more talkative than usual.
Reid watched him keenly, and
before long came to the conclusion
that the Colonel was in desperate
fear and that he was talking be-
cause he feared silence.
You live alone here, Colonel 2"
he asked, when there was mo-
mentary pause.
"Alone, yes, quite alone, and
doubly so now that poor Henry
Severinge has gone" He wiped
his forehead furtively as Reid was
engaged with his meal.
Up till now not word had been
said about the matter of the estate,
and Reid began to think that he
was in some nightmare from
which he would presently wake up.
The rich dishes of strange Indian
cooking and the generous wines,
with the bizarre surroundings, all
combined to heighten the air OF
unreality.
Aud then in a lull in the tenn
pest, out of the night came the
deep bay of bloodhound at large.
The Colonel started to talk fever
ishly, but Reid was staring in
tently at the window, and the
story limped and trailed off.
Again the ominous sound came,
and the Colonel could not pretend
to be deaf.
"Coats is taking the hounds for
night exercise" he said quickly.
"He might have chosen a better
night, but it's all practice"
For one brief moment Reid won

necessary, but the Coloneps keen,

the thin beak-like nose seemed to
menace him.

glass, they will be back in their
kennels when I CO."
"Oh, I couldn't think of letting
you go on a night like this!" He
gave a forced laugh. "You know,
Reid, you have only just moved, so
it doesn't matter about taking up
your quarters tonight"
"The car is coming for me;
