SOCIAL WORK OFFICE WILL
OPEN HERE NEXT WEEK TO
CERTIFY ELIGIBLES FOR AID
Only Those Receiving Direct Or Work Relief Between
May And Nov. |, 1885, Can Get Help From
Federal Programs

Miss Norma Spence has beer
named as director of the division
of field social work of the state
department of welfare, which vii
function as a department OF ths
county welfare department, and
offices will be open in the Rushel
building, Third Avenue East, next
to the county farm agents office
next week. At present Miss
Spence is in the office Of the
county superintendent of educa'
ton. in the court house.
The purpose of the office is lC
certify relief cases to the Works
Progress Administration fo.' EN-,
ployment.
Although the impression is gen
eral that the opening of this GER,
tifying office means that all un-
employed can be certified and I'M
mediately assigned to work, the
real facts are that only those fam
lilies OF persons actually receiving
direct or work relief between May
l and November l of 1885 arc
ELIGIBLE for certifieation to the
WPA and other federal programs
This means that the country
welfare department will be able to
certify only a comparatively few
of those now without work.
Before its liquidation on De-
cember 5, the North Carolina En-
ergency Relief Administrat n
certified 65,44S families to WPA
and other federal programs, but
in view of the states quota it has
not been possible for all those GER
titled to be assigned to w0-k.
Families who received surplu;
commodities only between May !
and November l, are not eligible
for certification. To date no
change has been made in this rul-
ing.
Families on rural rehabilitation
between the two above mentioned
dates, and who have been releas-
ed by Rural Resettlement are eli
gible for certification to WPA.
According to instructions issueo
there will be no CCC referals un'
til further notice.
One of the main duties OF the
certifying agent in the county
welfare department is to lnvestl'
gate the needs of uncertified ap
plicants who received direct OF
work relief between May l ant
| November l, in order to deter
mine their eligibility.
! According to policies OF WA
only one member Of a certified
| family may work on the WfA
program or other programs II
nanced in whole or in part from
| federal funds under the Emer
gency Relief appropriation act o.
1885. This does not include taml
lies with sons in CCC, nor does Il
preclude those in which there is

Wednesday. Unofficial reports say
that seven Japanese Manchukuo-

wounded. Although the clash was
one of many in past months on

FARM MEASURE
RANKING HIGH
AS 1886 ISSUE
Political Oratory, Senate
Debate Push Measure
Into Foreground
REPUBLICANS OPPOSE
CURB ON PRODUCTION
BY JOHN r. BEAL
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. IA. (UP)
Political oratory and Senate de-
bate on the Administration farm
bill pushed the agricultural prob
lem last night near the top of
1886 campaign issues.
1t defined the fundamental
clash in policy between the New
Deal and the Republicans on how
best to bring back prosperity to
the farmer.
The New Deal is definitely on
record in favor of control of pro
duction to raise farm prices.
The Republican view, a COM
posite of expressions by some of
the leading Presidential contend
ers, is in. general protection of
the domestic market, no restric-
tions, on production, and bounties
for the surplus that is forced to
compete in the world market.
The most recent exposition of
the latter policy was made in New
isark by Sen. Arthur H. Vanden-
berg, R., Mich, condensed, it
was:
/"The first necessity is absolute
control of the domestic market.
=. The second is to give the far
mer the mechanism-not to de-
stroy crops and thus ultimately to
destroy himself-but to provide
orderly external and internal mar
keting of his surplus crops, the
former at world prices, tire latter
at domestic prices. when heal
thy industry again produces urban
purchasing power; when the total
of our population is fed as it
ought to be fed, and when farm
marketing automatically enjoys
the two-price system, there will
be a permanent answer to the
farm problem.
Vanderberg spoke in general
terms. One specific proposal ad-
vanced by his Republican col
league from Oregon, Sen. Charles
L. McNary, to care for the prob
lem of exporting ,surpluses, is
the export debenture plan. Today
Sen. Tom Connally, Texas Demo
crat, spoke on his own amend
ment to the Administration farm
bill which would set up an export
debenture system. Vandcnberg
listened closely and at times ques-
/ toned him on details.
THE basis of all farm relief
measures, said Connally, "is that
the farmer does not receive the
benefit of the tariff. He carries
the burden of the tariff.
"This plan is simply reversal
of the tariff. 1t gives the farmer
tariff on exports whereas the
manufacturer gets tariff on I'M
ports"
Under Connally's amendment
farmers with exportable surplus,
es would get bounties in the form
of treasury debentures a t rates
fixed in the bill for basis commo'
dities, and the Secretary Of Agrl'
culture would be empowered tc
fix rates for commodities moi

- ARATOGA, N. Y, August IL
Teddy would be proud OF his
American sons for they are a
~ credit to him. There was great
lamenting in the horse world
few weeks ago when this great sire,
imported from France by Kenneth
Gilpin and F. Wallace Armstrong,
died at Kentmere Stud in Virginia.
Here at Saratoga not a day passes
that you don't hear his name or those
of his get mentioned and talked about
with increasing interest.
Last Saturday of the five stake
races run in this country two of them
were won by Teddy colts. Case Ace
won the Futurity at Arlington Park,
Chicago. He may or may not be the
champion 2-year-old OF this season,
but he is unbeaten so far, Sun Teddy
won the Arlington Handicap that day
and he also won three of his four
races at Arlington Park. Arriving
here from the West, Sun Teddy cap
tured the Saranac Handicap at Sara
toga on Friday. Sporting the silks of
Warren Wrights Calumet Farm he
easily outran the field of nine good
3-year-olds entered against him.
On the same day that these two
were winning, another Of Teddys
sons was taking all honors at horse
show in New Jersey by winning hunt
er and jumping classes and taking the
championship ribbon. This was
Prince Charming, owned by Mrs. Ed
ward v. Quinn. He had been shipped
here from the West, where he went
with a big reputation on the track.
Riding Prince Charming to victory in
the horse show was Mrs. David Rum
boueh, one of the best woman riders
in this country, we'll known in Vlr-
ginia and Washington. where she
spends much of her time.
Another beautiful son Of Teddy is
The Bear, bought by Jock Whitney
at the first crop of American yearlings
by this great sire. This is chestnut
and Mrs. Jock Whitney has him In
her string of show horses and viii

Tedious has only been started thre<

considers him the outstanding youne

comb. would rather put them up at
auction. They arrived at Saratoga
yesterday and are creating quite a
sensation as they are all very peauti-
full.
II + \ y
The last two nights of the sales
have been exciting, with prices almost
as high as in the "old days" At
Sam Riddles sale when Man o'War
-Bridgeen-colt was bid in by Mrs.
Ethel " Mars at $4,000 there was
burst of appreciative applause from
the audience.
Mr.. Riddles "a colts averaged over
$500 each. The Arthur Hancock
sale on Friday night when he sold 48
yearlings from his Clairborne and
Ellersdale studs was equally as
thrilling and the bidding fast and
furious. The past week end brought
many socialites here and some bril-
liant parties were given at night.
Mrs. Seth Morton entertained George
Bull and his many guests at dinner
on Friday night. From there We all
hurried to the Hancock sale, then on
| to different night clubs-Arrowhead
RileyS and Piping Rock.
Among those entertaining large
parties at these gay places were Mrs
Dodge Sloane, Mrs. Ethel v. Mars,
Sam Riddle, Herbert B. Swope, Mr.
and Mrs. William Zeigler. Mr.. and
Mrs. John Hay Whitney, Mr.. and
Mrs. C. v. Whitney, Gene Tunney
Alfred G. Vanderbilt and many
| others.
