CHICAGO, Oct. 6. - While

States, a survey yesterday showed
an acute shortage of farm labor
for fall planting, corn husking
and other late seasonal tasks.

ported an influx of calls for farm
help at wages considerably higher
than since 1929. All reported
there were mo takers" and
agreed:
"The lure Of Federal easy
money jobs is to be blamed"
Stanley F. Morse, executive vice
president of the Farmers indie
pendent Alliance, declared farm
ers generally were enraged against
"the spending of Federal money
for boondogling jobs while worthy
and productive jobs on farms are
going begging"
WPA Places Preferred
''The WPA jobs are paying
SIS q month, while good man
on a farm can command S45
with food and lodging included.
But the farmers can't get steady
help in competition with WPA
jobs that call for short week
and short hours"

Farmers Union in South Dakota,
said:
"Farmhands are quitting their

Boom Wages Offered
William THEM, vice president
Of the Illinois Agricultural ASso-
citation, said:
"ScOreS of Illinois farmers tell
me their plight is pitiful because
they cannot hire men even at
wages as high as they were in

Representative Clifford R. Hope,
Of Iowa, said representatives from
Is Midwest States reported at
recent Chicago conference that
they have difficulty in hiring
help.

Working conditions were poorer
than they are today. With an
"open shop" highly skilled en-
ployes, whose experience could not
be bought in a book, were at the
mercy of everything and every
body.
But today Bernard G.. Ladd has
a retirement pension. When he
visits the Navy Yard he finds the
employees happier than they were
when he began work there. The
reason, he says, is due entirely to
unionism and its long, hard fight
for decent working and living con-
ditions.

How can you tell about a girl

Poor Evelyn worried and won
dered, and now that mama was
gone there was no one to ask, no
one really to talk to.
Then the Rogers moved into the
downstairs apartment that the
Simons had vacated, and almost
at once Evelyn had friend and
a confidante. Someone to talk to:
Someone who had time to sit and
sip coffee and chat.
She was glad she hadn't told
the girls that she thought Helen
Rogers cheap looking and Bonnie,
her husband, worse, when they
first came to look at the place.
Because it just went to prove that
first impressions aren't so price

OF course, there was the matter

Peter would have a fit when he
found that she'd taken children.
He was so mean he'd rather have
the house half empty than pay her
her rightful IS per cent of the
rents. But since mama's death he
hardly ever came near the house,
and what he didn't know wouldn't
hurt him.
Unless she got up and got it for
them, Dorathea and Jan would
dash off for school without break
fast, so Evelyn, priding herself on
being a good mother, forced her
self out of bed every morning
about 7:45, and wrapped herself
in a lavender bathrobe that had
been her mothers. Then, yawning
and virtuouS, she squeezed orange
juice, made toast and coffee, paus-

"Dorathea!

So they ate it, boiling the hot
coffee and thin buttered toast like
firemen. After they were gone
Evelyn could settle down to enjoy
her own breakfast, with the morn
ing paper propped against the cof-
fee pot, and her cigarette handy.
About the time she'd finished
her second cup, Helen, also in
slippers and bathrobe, would come
in the back way to borrow a lemon
or cube of butter, or just to
say hello.
Where did the morning go? It

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June 24.- Likelihood of a major conflict in the convention over the Townsend Plan faded when the issue was laid before the Platform Committee and the dcision of the Washington State delegation to carry the fight for the plan to the floor was snaggled when United States Sen stor Schwellenbach, it's represen- tative on the Resolutions Commit tee, said he would not serve under any such instruction.

Payne Explains Schedules
At Henderson High School
Many Parents Complaining About Short Time for
Lunch Hour; Alternatives Outlined by Principal in
Giving Program 70 Daily Activities

Complaints of many parents about
the short time allowed for lunch at
the Henderson high school drew from
Frof Payne, the principal, a state
ment today outlining the daily sche-
dule of the operation of the school,
Prof. Payne suggested that the two
alternatives in frightening the noon
recess period would be either to ELI
inmate ten-mirute devotional period
inaugurated in every class room this
year for the first time, or to start
class work ten minutes earlier in the
morning, which would make the time
500 o'clock. At the present time the
lunch box period is from 1880 to 100
p m.
1t is pointed out that operation of
the cafeteria at the lNgh school would
solve this problem except in cases
where parents would insist on their
children coming home for their lunch
The various problems encountered
in arranging the daily schedule were
stated and discussed by Prof Payne
in his explanation of the high school
routine.
Following is the statement in full:
