No Coercion Of Farmers.
The problem involved in crop in
surance Is really the protection Of
those farmers who cultivate regions
where climatic conditions result in
wide variations of yield. Eastern
agriculture in a more stable climate
would not benefit much from crop
insurance and, II insured, would have
to pay far lower premiums than the
crop gambling Of the Western Plains.
Moreover. for crop insurance to
succeed it would have to be voluntary.
There was never any intention Of
compulsory crop insurance, since hu-
man experience has shown that there
is no percentage in trying to make
farmers do anything they don't want
to do.
After q couple Of famines. even the
omnipotent Soviet oficials learned
that lesson.
The Farmers Ideas.
So the Department Of Agriculture
will continue to hold conferences and
to study actuarial tables and practical
facilities with view to adding the
ever-normal granary system Of crop
insurance to its growing armory Of
weapons for the defense of agricul-
ture.
In the meantime, Mr.. wallace's
surprise" at discovering that the
farm leaders have no qualms at the
idea of q direct reversal of the Su-
preme Court. adds power to his pro-
gram. For this means that the most

of the New Deal has put itself on
record as favoring not only the

Rodeo thrills and spills from Salinas

u and after. For instance:
Lansing. Mich, Septem-
Der al, 18S6.-Residents of this town
were awakened at 3 o'clock this morn
ing by an outburst of ripping, roar
ing noise that caused them to leap
from their beds and rush to the win
dows. The din which filled the streets
was unmistakably that of q major
military engagement. The action
seemed to be shifting. as the firing
was heard first in one block and then
| another.
Some citizens ran to the street,
scantily clad. while others hastened
to summon the authorities. to find the
night watchmen already in pursuit
of the shocking matutinal uproar.
| Civil War rifles and sabers were
snatched from walls or attics. Sternly
ordering women and children to stay
indoors, men swarmed out for swift
mobilization.
Suddenly the noise ended. A strange
odor filled the streets. Several blocks
from its point of origin the cause Of
the disturbance was located. A bulky
object was discerned, but, in the con-
fusion, with the dim morning light, it
ened citizens to learn what it was.
Finally. with the watchmen holding
back the crowd, the explanation was
at hand.
1t was young Ranny Olds, testing
out contraption which he calls a
"horseless carriage" On account Of
the noise he had taken it out in the
early morning so it would not frighten
horses and cause runaways. Onlook-
ers was amazed to discover that he
really had made the thing 60. The
| Olds boy seemed nervous, as the con-
trivance had been jumping and roar
ing terribly, but, when the excitement
had Gained down, he explained how
it worked. 1t has small engine, the
exact nature of which could not be de-
termined, although it Is not a steam
engine.
It runs on three ordinary buggy
wheels, with ordinary tires. The car
riage is built mainly of boxwood, with
the frame of oak. The power of the
engine is applied to the axle by chain
made of strap iron. There Is some
mysterious mechanism for regulating
speed. also involved in starting and
! stopping, which the ingenious Ranny
had contrived from a set of lathe
gears. The wooden encasement acted
as a sounding board and amplifed
dreadfully the noise which, Ranny
explained, came from the engine.
Guidance is provided by horizontal
| lever.
Ranny Olds. about 20 years Of age, Is
the son Of Pliny Olds, a highly re-
spected machinist of this city. He
made his "horseless carriage" in his
fathers machine shop. He is hard
working boy, with a good record In
high school, and amused citizens were
indulgent about the disturbance he
had created. Constables, however.
warned onlookers not to approach too
closely, on account of the danger Of
explosion, and no close inspection was
allowed. Judge L. D. Mumford ad.
dressed the elder Mr.. Olds. who had
joined the crowd.
