Hollywood, Dec. i7-tUP) .--Oliver Hardy, of the Laurel and Hardy Hardys, owns c ract:ig stable which has two distinctions.
 First, 1t is composed of only one horse. And second, the lone steed, Mamie by name, has kidney trouble. Until quite recently owner Hardy's stable was much more extensive; twice as large, in fact, because he had another horse, oae TedSin, But Hardy, with 0 shrewdneSs that brought him much acclaim In equine circles, sold TedsiIn when he was repeatedly out-galloped by Mamie, kidney trouble and all, in morning workouts. And to be out. galloped by Mamie Is not to have galloped at all.
 T gave Tedslm every chance to make good" Hardy said to me to- day as he whisked 6 grain of oats from his lapel. T have rode him myself in the morning workouts and 1t waS every huriliating to have smaller men and smaller horses run by us."
 Mamie VIII carry the green and white silks of tho Hardy stable In the coming Santa Anita meet. How far or how fast Mamie will carry the silks is c debatable question, He has never been in the money for Hardy yet, but In one breath" taking race at Bay Meadows he came very near to not being Inst. asked Hardy how hc came to choose green and white for hiS silks, Was 1t because of sentiment2
 "Indecd rot" he answered. T left nothing to chance. My choice was based on science and reason. had my horoscope cast and the young lady who did 1t said Bh0 saw green and white colors cOr1e laundering down in the Derby, the PreaknesS, the Belmont, the Futurity. and the Santa Anita hnadleap, ghe said l must have green and white"
 According to Hardy, c mans tfou' bles do not begin until he becomes race horse owner.
 If worrying made mo thin" ho said, T wouldn't weigh Q pound over 50. A horse B worse than q baby for getting things wrong with him, The first time Mannic ran his feet got all tangled Up and he cut one Of them. The next time out he ran last and the trainer said he couldn't have missed winning if ] hadn't fed him 20 much sugar. He was last the next two times, too but tic trainer said I shouldn't bc discouraged aS it was obvious that thoSc two efforts were just what Mamie needed to get him ia shape. Said the races were 'tighteners,' '"
 I asked f hc found tho business of operating Q stable an expensive one.
 "Yes." Hardy said, "cven q com. paratiyciy small ono such aB mine. When bought Mamie l thought i,c could get along Oil oats and hay and grass. But those things arc just appetizerg for c iiorBo.

 Promoter Mike Jacobs announced that f the winner looks good enough" he will get the first of three "tune.up" matches that the Brown Bomber has scheduled before his title defense against Max Schmeling next summer, Some ob- servers, however, feel this angle is being used merely as Q buildup and that Louis will meet Jimmy Adam ick, Detfoit's newest kayo Scnsa- ton, here In February regardless ot how sensational Q victory iS scored tonight.

 He fought here last on the Louis. FaFT card In August and was i'm. presSlve h disposing of hugo Abe simon In three rounds. tt looked like the Brooklyn tank was going to drop tho California boy h the first round, but Buddy weathered n furious barrage and came back to win on Q technical knockout,

New York, Dec. i7.--T'he biggest mistake in connection with the iight at tho Garden the other night was not made by Harry Thomas, who was knocked down for the. sixtn time and stopped with only SIX sec onds of the eighth round remaining.
 The MinneSota heavyweight did his utmost to capitalize on Q Tc.. mendous opportunity, and was paid SO,S0o.
 The gross error of the evening, In tho minds of trained boxing men, must be charged to John Ro%nor- ough, Julian Black, and oI Jack Blackburn, handlers of Joe Lotus.

gress should enact law imposing very severe pen
alties upon any government official who undertakes
to influence either crop production or crop prices
The business of the government employee should
be administrative. Farmers have been the victims
of government exploitation. -. "..-r.' .''
"And especially should government officials be
forbidden to put out any statement calculated to
influence agricultural prices. Such statements are
pernicious in the extreme. :. 49,.

seem to think they ought to exercise some sort of
guidance guardianship the farmer ..

woman who wrote US a long and thoughtful letter
about the way the governments farm policies are
