NEW YORK, April IT,
W,R)-An order to eliminate
a speech by Sen. Burton K.
Wheeler, CD of Montana,
opposing President Roose-
velt's supreme court proposal from
the current issue of the March of
time was given today after it had
been reviewed by the Kansas state
board of review
The order was given to eliminate
the speech from the film only in
Kansas. Mae Clausen, chairman of
the Kansas board of review, wrote
the objection.
I'VE feel the dialogue is partisan
and biased the letter to the dis
tributors said
The film which melted the action
of the Kansas board is a survey of
the nationwide controversy over
the plan to increase the number
of justices to the court.
In the speech to which the CEN
sors took objection, Sen. Wheeler
said:
you can say that the privilege
of appointing postmasters will not
be accorded to me. You can say
that I'll get no more projects for
my state. You can say what you
please, but I say to you and to
Mr.. Farley, to everybody else, that

of protective vegetation were swept
by erosion and dust storms.
Thousands of farmers who saw
no future left their homes for
other areas. The resettlement ad.
ministration in Washington esti.
mated 100000 families-half a mil
lion persons-abandoned farms in
the drought area to move to the
west coast. 1t was described as
perhaps the greatest mass migra-
ton in United States history, Ger
tainly the greatest for climatic
reasons.
Other thousands moved from
farms into cities, adding serious
burdens to urban relief employ
ment offices.
Most of this movement origi-
mated in the northwest-the Dako-
tas, Nebraska and Iowa, some in
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois an0
Indiana.
The result, United Press sur
vey showed, was a variety of leg
islation designed not only to carry
destitute farmers through the win
ter, but to discourage emigration
and to bring a new era of Scienli'
fic soil handling which would halt
the worst ravages of drought per-

Additional direct relief was pro-
vided by legislatures which con-

LETTER FROM DOVER

Camden Camp has now been in
progress one week, and has three
more days in which to make itself
memorable, as the week past has
been one of the most uneventless
in the history of the grounds
There have been no conversions
whatever, and as to crowds and re-
! ligious excitementS- main in
gradients of a good camp-the
former have been very small and
the same may be said of the lat
ter. Sunday though pleasant, fail
ed to draw large crowd, although
some of the best talent in the con-
ference was booked to appear and
did appear and ably propopunded
the gospel to those present. Revs
V. S. Collins preached in the morn
ing, j. H. Wiley in the afternoon
and ]. w. Duhadaway at night.
Your correspondent thinks that the
interest in camp meeting is dying
out, that is from religious point,
but from social and recreative
point it is far from dying. The
truth is, and it is not denied, that
over four ffths of the people at
tending camps now a days do so
only for pleasure I think it is
evident that camp meetings, as a
religious help are a failure.
George Rust thinks he is the
most unlucky man in town.
Monday morning he lost valuable
horse from paralysis and Tuesday

Moore's marble yard knocked down
a $50 monument.
Mosquitoes are terrible here.
They are not only greedy but saw
age, and their number is legion. It
is impossible to stand still any
length of time for them, and a
stroll these beautiful moonlight
nights is impossible Everyone
says they were never more numer-
Gus or troublesome in Dover as at
present.
Lawyer Bradford of Wilmington,
was down Monday arguing a case

Things are very quiet around
