Walker has made a perfect record

1885, and has convinced both prison
and parole officers that he has Ell

HOLD SERVICE AT
TOWNSVILLE M. {.
Methodist Church There Be
Used First Time in Past
Decade In Evening

For the first time in a decade or
more, services will be conducted in
the Methodist church building at
Townsville Sunday evening at 8
o'clock, it was announced today by
Rev. Dwight A. Petty, pastor of the
Middleburg charge.
There never was Methodist church
organized there, but services were
conducted by pastors of Middleburg
charge. Mrs. Susan Hargrove gave
the building quite a number of years
ago, and decided it to the Methodist
conference. Although Rev. Mr. Petty
has five other churches and very
heavy work, he has agreed to conduct
services there Sunday evening, and
extends cordial invitation to all peo-
pie to attend.

where he still had 25 years to serve
on the 80 year sentence of manslaugh-

here are hoping that the Oklahoma
officials will be so impressed with
Walkers case that he will soon win a
parole there and again 'oe free man.
The belief among those here who have

was a fugitive from justice following
his escape from the Central Prison

of Frank Mannin, in Gulfport, Mis-

several years operated a jewelry store.

WAIT FARM VIEWS

Government Cannot Com
pei Crop Reduction and
Sky May Be Limit
By CHARLES P. STEWART
Central Press Staff Writer

Washington, March 13.-The new
AAA (made over from the old one in
an effort to stand possible tests as
to it's constitutionality, in the United
States Supreme Court) is holding it's
breath while waiting to see how the
farmers will take to it in practice.
This time the administration lacks
the power to put limits upon agricul-
tural production whether the yeo-
many likes being limited or not.
Instead it must make it an induce
ment to the farmer to curtail his
crops, nominally (and in part genu-
inely) for soil conservation purposes,
but, as a more immediate object, to
reduce his output and increase prices
CORRESPONDENCE for what he does pro-
duce. If he chooses not to reduce he
cannot be compelled to do so; the SUI
preme Court knocked that out.
LIKES HIGH PRICES
Of course the farmer likes high
prices for his stuff.
To that end he favors crop curtail-
ment-by his neighbors. But his ten
dency, when he believes that they in
tend to curtail, is to plant and cult
vate his own acres as intensively as
