Corn Belt Revolt

FARMERS Of the Middle West are
in open revolt against the AAA
corn crop control program, and the
movement, started in MacOmb, H.,
was spreading so fast throughout
the corn belt that officials of the
Department Of Agriculture were
considering possible modification OF
the program so as to allow individu-
al growers larger allotments. The
Illinois farmers formed the Corn
Belt Liberty league, and growers
from Iowa, Wisconsin, Indiana,
Michigan, Missouri and Minnesota
who attended the meetings of the
league went home to promote the
organization of branches in their
states.
Tilden Burg, president Of the or
ganization, said in addressing its
second session: Our purpose is to
oppose in every honorable way the
un-American program of compul-
sorry crop control Most of us have
spent our lives on the farm. We
have an affection for our lands and
an interest in their operation that
probably cannot be understood by
politicians in Washington. Our
farms will not be the same when we
have jobholders from Washington
telling us what we can and cannot
plant, perhaps under threat of pros
ecution and penalty.
above all else we are fighting
for freedom. We positively refuse
to accept the view that we must
sacrifice freedom to obtain pros
perity On the contrary, we believe
the loss of freedom will mean pow
erty and ruin.

Railroads Vote Pay Cut

FIFTEEN per cent reduction in
wages of 925, 900 union workers.
effective July /, was voted by the
Association of American Railroads
at session attended by the execu-
tives of more than a hundred rail-
way companies. They declared the
two most important reasons for this
action were loss Of revenue and in
creases in operating costs.
George Harrison, chairman Of the
Association of Railway Labor Exec
utives, said: I'VE don't propose to
submit to wage reductions. The &C.
ton of the roads is ill-advised and
unfortunate and viii have tenden-
cy to obstruct the Presidents re-
covery program"
D. B. Robertson, president of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen, declared: There
will be no wage reduction agreed to
by railroad employees"

backs quite high this effect is en-
phasized even more.
Wide windows often make a
room seem larger and give wall
spaces better proportions. Exten-
sions at the sides may also be
used so the draperies will cover
less of the window, giving more
view and sunlight.
To make a window higher,
merely screw blocks of wood to
the top of the frame as at A and
B with metal straps such as may
be obtained at any hardware
store. The curtain rods are then
screwed to the wood blocks. To
add width, screw the blocks to
the sides of the window frame as

be used, extensions for them may
be added as at E and F.
