HAnDBlLL DISTRIBUT-
0RS RELEASED, But
MAY LOSE WPA JOBS

KANSAS CITY, Mo.-FP)-Three
members of the Workers Alliance, who
were fined heavily for distributing or
possessing handbills attacking the
state Social Security Commission
have been freed on writs of habeas
corpus, but may lose their WPA jobs.
Two men were fined $1,000 on
charges of melting to riot and dis
tributing handbills in violation of the
city ordinance One woman, secre-
tary of the local w. A. branch, was
fined $500 on the melting to riot
charge. She did not distribute hand
bills, but leaflets were found in her
home by raiders.
Circuit Judge Paul A. Buzard freed
the trio Attorney for the city adj
mitted the municipal ordinance on
handbill distribution was unconstitu-
tional, in view of recent opinions of
the U. S. supreme court. Police vain
ly attempted to link the arrested per-
sons with the communist party.
The trio may lose their WPA jobs
because while they were in jail they
failed to report for work for four con-
secutive days, as provided by WPA
regulations.

cratic central committee and besides
the violation of the state law by
Craighead in holding the position held
by him in the Wheeler for President
Club, he violated Section 1926 by con-
tributing $500 to the Templeton for
Congress Club in the last compaign.
In the January 81 issue, attention
was called to the fact that several
state employees had attended the last
Democratic state convention, thereby
violating Section 1876. The ones,
named were: ]. Burke Clements, r.
Dale Woods, j. r. Sparkling, Ernest
A. Peterson, Lee Metcalf (now re-
signed from political organization) and
H. ]. Calhoun,
Attention was called in the same
story to the following state job holders
whose names appear as sponsors OF
the Wheeler for President Club: j.
Burke Clements, Barclay Craighead,
Don McKinnon, G. A. Norris, John e.
I
Erickson and d. A. Batchoff.
The February issue named the
following John Bonner, chairman of
the Lewis and Clark County Central
Committee and secretary of the state
democratic central committee while
holding a state appointlve job The
name of Clements again showed up
as precinct committeeman, adding to
the already long list of counts Of vio-
lations of the law by him. Mona Nc
Rae, Nellie M. Sites and Nell O'Con-
nell of the Industrial Accident Board
under Clements are also office hold
ers in the democratic political organ
ization. Frank ]. Casey, Edith c.
Briscoe, Nellie Buchanan, Mary E.
Woody West and Sidney T. Smith, all
state employees are also members of
the democratic political organization.
The state liquor set-up is well rep
resented by employees on the state
democratic organization. The roster
is headed by L. M. A. Wass and the
following are members of the demoera-
tic organization in their respective
communities: Forrest De Rosia, Lib

MECHANICAL
CORN PICKER

One man operates grotesque mar
vel of American inventive genious that
can pick, husk, and crib five acres of
corn during the time it takes man
to perform the same operation by hand
on only one acre. 1t is estimated by
agricultural economists that the 10000
mechanical pickers in the u. S. are
displacing more than 100000 farm
laborers. IN 1898 only 1871 Of the
corn acreage was harvested mechan-
ically. Inevitable widespread use of
the picker will spell 'relief" to hum
dreds of thousands more farm hands.

areas in which the plan is in opera
ton. The requirement that the
orange stamps be bought insures that
regular food purchases are maintained,
so that the surplus foods obtained with
the blue stamps will be in addition to,
and not in place of, these normal pur-
chases.
The commodities currently desig-
mated as surplus foods by Secretary
of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace are:
Butter, shell eggs, corn meal, dried
prunes, wheat flour and whole wheat
(graham) flour, raisins, fresh pears,
fresh apples, onions, Except green
onions), dry edible beans, hominy
grits, fresh oranges, fresh grapefruit,
rice, lard, pork including all cuts,
fresh chilled or frozen, picked, salt
cured, or smoked, but not cooked or
packed in metal or glass containers.
This surplus food list may be changed
from time to time by the secretary.
II the surplus of the product is used
up throughout the nation, that product
will be taken off the list. If the sur
plus OF some other product piles up,
that product will be added to the list.
Ample advance notice and wide pub
licity will be given any change in the
list of foods. Under the plan, of
course, the government simply pro-
vides food-order stamps for the pur-
chase of these commodities already
stocked by the stores.
Local arrangements have been made
for the redemption Of these food-order
stamps from participating retail food
merchants In Cascade county by the
federal government from funds de-
rived from customs receipts and al
ready available to the Federal Surplus
Commodities Corporation. These are

most of 1t came from licenses to drive

Thus far there have been more
than 1900 recruits for the air
force. Nearly 500 pilots have gone
to Britain. When the war began
New Zealand undertook to provide
1000 pilots a year for the empire
That figure subsequently was in
creased TO 300 and now has been
raised to 1900 Some OF them will

New Zealand has more coastline
than England but its navy has
never been developed beyond

now been increased toe21l officers

This house was designed by
leading American architect. No
house is patterned because we
think that owners of this class of
home should engage the services OF
local architect to draw plans
and supervise construction of the
house.
The cost to build this house OF
any house for that matter. will
vary greatly because OF the differ
ences in labor and material prices
in various localities. 1t is therefore
impossible to give reliable cost
figures.
Complete plans and specifications
are available for this house for
$100. Included with the plans is a
cardboard cut-out model of the
house. INTELLECTUALLY drawn to
scale--with floor plan, elevations
and detail drawings. Specifications
as written by the architect are also
included. The model can be colored,
and it will visualize for you exactly
what the completed house will look
like. Address your requests for

should own its own home! Vi
course there are some circum-
stances whereby home-ownership
would not be advisable. but they
are exceptions. Apartment dwell

natural instinct for family to own
its own home should, If possible,
be realized.

the architect had in mind couples
who were planning marriage by
starting out with their own home.
Hence, our specifications for long
lasting durability of plumbing was
recommended for this house, which
provides for materials that will
give a good performance of service
without costly upkeep. These in

copper shields for termite protec-

specified, and bronze insect screens
recommended for protection against
the invasion of insects. These
metals will not rust and will effec-
