BETTER CRIME
PROTECTION ON
FARMS STUDIED
Threshermen Hear Plans to
Connect Rural Phones
With State Police.

Plans for direct rural phone con-
nections to State Police barracks to
provide farm communities with i'm
proved crime protection, were out
lined today by Don F. Silver, State
Police superintendent, at the twen-
ty-seventh annual meeting of the
Indiana Brotherhood of ThreSher-
men and Farm Power Users in the
SEVERN.
The proposed direct hookup is to
be presented to- telephone officials
when they meet here in April, Mr.
Silver said. Preliminary plans are
being made.
ut will be possible for a farmer
to call his operator and be con-
nected with the State Police bar
racks. Barracks officers will relay
the message through their radio to
local officials" he said.
THE radio Setup in Indiana is
now second to none and, with our
cooperation with county law en-
forcement agencies, it gives rural
homes adequate protection for the
first time"
The second day of the three-day
meeting of Threshermen opened
today with introduction of branch
house managers.
President Oliver Butler, Paramount,
introduced w. S. Arnold, secretary.
who called on Oscar F. Smith, Indi-
annapolis attorney. Mr.. Smith told
the members of new developments
in compensation insurance and of
the organization of the rate bureau
under acts of the 1885 Legislature.
Threshing outfits, he said, were
factories on wheels" and not ex-
empt, like farm labor, from COM
pensation laws.
After luncheon today, former
Senator Arthur R. Robinson was to
speak on his experiences in Russia.

KIl.ENTz MAKES
FIGHT AGAINST
new REPRIEvE
1896 Ruling May Be Legal
Weapon to Th'Nart
Hoffman's Work.
fcopyrieht. lpas. br unlted pressl

TRENTON, N. j., Feb. 27.-Attor-
ney General David T. Wilentz
opened a conference in his Perth
Amboy home today to lay strategy
for the fight to send Bruno Richard
Hauptmann to the electric chair in
the week of March 30.
Prosecution officials are reported
to have legal weapon with which
to combat any further reprieves that
may be granted by Gov. Harold G.
Hoffman.
Col. H. Norman Schwarzkopf,
state police superintendent, and
Prosecutor Anthony M Hauck OF
Hunterdon County, conferred with
Wilentz to determine how to protect
the structure OF guilt they have built
around the convicted murderer of
the Lindbergh baby.
Old Court Ruling Found
Prosecution officials have discov-
cred that an 1896 court decision
strictly limits the Governors power
of reprieve. Mr.. Wilentz is prepared
to act under that ruling, ii neces-
sary, to block further postponement
of Hauptmann's execution.
An eminent constitutional author
ity said there was no way in which
Mr.. Wilentz could restrain Gov.
Hoffman from granting another re-
prieve.
However, if another reprieve is
granted, the Attorney General can
appear before any judge of the
State Supreme Court and ask Tor a
review of the reprieve.
Gov. Hoffman continued his at
tack on the states case against
Hauptmann today, releasing part
Of the secret interview he held with
Willard Whited, prosecution wit
ness, Saturday.
Says Ladder Was Framed
1t also was learned the Governor
would attempt to prove that the
ladder found outside the Lindbergh
nursery was a "frame-up" against
Hauptmann.
1t was reported in New York that
violet-ray process tended to bear
out Gov. Hoffman's contention
about the ladder. This process, it
was said, proves that nail holes in
rail Is" of the ladder-the board
that allegedly came from Haupt-
mann's attic-were driven long after
Hauptmann's arrest.
Gov. Hoffman also attacked the
credibility of Joseph Perrone, taxi
driver, who swore that Hauptmann
gave him a note to deliver to DR..
john F. Condor during negotiations
for payment of the ransom.

SeIf-Sufficiency Marks Life
at Mithaefer Home
stead.

Even If disasters should fiatten
indianapolis and other Midwestern
metropolitan trading centers, life
for the Mithaefer family would be
little changed.
Self-suficient and frugal, Alfred
Mithaefer and his family till the
soil and provide materials for their
own livelihood.
I'VE haven't bought cents worth
Of laundry soap in 10 years-and
very little else that we can produce
here at home" explained Mr.. Nit
haefer, selected as a representative
Marion County farmer by Horace E.
Abbott, county agent.
That is the clew to Mr.. Mithaef-
er's life-economy and practice of
scientific farming principles. He has
made them pay dividends on the
100-acre tract on E.. 38th-st near
Franklin-rd.
Modernism Lacking
There are no modern conveniences
for the Mithaefer family. Mrs.
Mithaefer does all her cooking on a
wood range and there are neither
electric lights nor telephone.
Mr.. Mithaefer introduced his wife,
who told Of the vegetables and meat
she cans each year-enough to last
through the hardest winter-toma-
toes, beef, strawberries for jam, corn,
and sauerkraut. In the spring the
fresh vegetables take care of their
table needs and leave a little for the
retail market. The Mithaefers
butcher three times a year, can some
Of the meat and smoke the rest.
Their eight children have done
their part, the parents say, the older
ones learning their work through
All clubs. Even the youngest helps
by wearing clothing which Mrs.
Mithaefer is skillful enough to make
over.
Stock Gets Good Care
Out in the barn lot are fattening
Hereford cattle, Poland China hogs,
and ITO White Rock chickens.
which show the effect of good care
which is given all the Mithaefer
stock.
Mr.. Mithaefer is a modest man,
contending there are many farmers
in his neighborhood who can show
the same results, but he has a
proper pride in his stock and his
farm.
He signed the wheat control con-
tracts, but not the corn-hog agree
mentS, for he raises few hogs and
has to feed all his corn. Some
times he feeds as many as 70 head
of cattle (there are "a head of
heavy Herefords on the place now) -,
and they take all the feed the place
will produce.
Alfred Mithaefer, a son, has his
share of fame. He won the state
hog judging contest last year at Pur-
due. He has two medals for excel
lence in All Club work. The other
children are: Roberta, 16; Carl,
Is; Eleanor, 10; Lorrain, IL; julius,
8; Vernon, 6, and Joan, 3.

GIVES ADVICE
ON DOG FOOD
BY DR.. MILTON A. BOSLEY,
d., M,

Although a dogs stomach is a
small organ, it is most important,
due to the fact that out of his
stomach and digestive tract arise,
directly or indirectly, most of the
ailments which affect his health.
If you love your dog, do not over
feed him. Many pet owners give
too much food in mistaken kind
ness which invariably results in
stomach troubles, digestive dis
orders or some illness which is the
cause of the death of your best
friend-your dog.
When you purchase a canine
companion, you may find him to
be a frugal feeder. On the other
hand, you may find him to be
the Henry the VIII" of dogdom,
: a gourmet who eats speedily with
out any thought and usually has
acquired a poor digestive system.
) When this becomes true, it is
sometimes necessary to feed him
by hand. Sometimes it may be
necessary to feed him by force,
administering such foods as soft
boiled eggs, broth, milk and &C.
reals because it takes some time
approximately Is hours, for any
food to digest.
Engines or ferments of chemi-
cal factors which digest food per
NIT him to easily digest his food.
After the food has gone from the
stomach into the small intestineS,
the pancreatic juice acts upon
the food, breaking proteins into
different bodies, and changing
starches into sugar.
Meat and milk are the most de-
sirable food for dogs. Meat should
be slightly cooked even through
raw is permissible. Beef is perhaps
best but horse flesh, lamb, and
fish are also to be recommended.
The meat should never be fried
and for a dog with weak stom-
nach, I suggest that he be given
either mutton or beef broth.

SLOGAN SINGER

A new employe of the Demo
cratic National Committee is
Mr.. Ronald Brown, of Darien,
Conn. Mr.. Brown is hired to
write slogans that will make you
just itch to get to the polls.
He is experienced at this sort
Of thing. He's the man who
writes most of the warnings to
motorists that dot the cOuntry's
highways.
He originated: 1--WE love our
children. Please don't kill them"
He's not always somber, though;
thought up a swell one for Sc
dalia, Mo-, where he spent his
youth. It reads:
We know
You'll drive slow
Because Sedalia
Has the biggest Jail va
Ever saw.
Mr.. Browns difficulty at the
moment is to get something
that will rhyme with IckeS.

ANY time you drop in at the

that go on there. Not always
about the sea, either. There was,
for instance, a regular talking
contest this week concerning the
burning issue of who invented
the hole in the doughnut.
The honor belongs to a sailor,
Captain Gregory, who was in the
China trade in 1847. And the old

cakes or "twisterS" which his gal
ley slave was turning out, put his
mind to devising a cake that
could be fried through and

right except that they were usu-
ally raw in the center. He got
the idea of cutting a hole in the
cakes, thus permitting the hot
grease to reach every part. And
that's how the hole in the dough-
