1--WE must lose no time in making
every one in the U. 8. feel that his

Wallace also warned against hun

"You will never find the fifth col

guise himself as hundred percent

WAR ON HOPPERS
BEGUN IN BLAINE

Seven carloads of sawdust and bran
for pest poison were hurried to Blaine
county last week in response to urgent
calls for aid in the war against hopper
hordes threatening complete destruc-
ton of the crops near Turner and
Hogeland.
The federal agency has wired that
the sawdust and bran-carrier for the
poison-would be taken from the main
railroad line through the northern
part of the state and hurried to local
ares by truck to speed up completion
of the war on the hoppers.

COOP Wholesale
REPORTS 63%
VOLUME INCREASE

NEW YORK. - (FP) - While the
wholesale grocery business in the
country as whole showed an increase
OF less than SO in the first quarter OF
1910, the Eastern Cooperative Whole
sale, central purchasing service for
240 co-operatives, reported gain of
$3.50 for the first four months of 1910
over the same period last year.
Delegates from local Co-ops in 10
states crowded the auditorium of the
New School for Social Research for
their annual meeting here. L. E.
Woodcock, manager of the consumer
owned wholesale, told the members:
I'VE can be encouraged by the pros
pect OF s1,5O0,O00 volume this year
when we remember that our wholesale
is depression baby-born in 1929
and that we have had warehouse IA
cilities only since 1885,"
The need for larger invested capital
In the wholesale to cover its rapidly
expanding activities was urged by
Werner Regli, head of the auditing
department of the Cooperative
League. During the last few years
our growth has been phenomenal" he
said. "Sales for 1899 were 49.495 over
1888; 1898 was 1850 over 1887.
We need to realize that we as con-
Iumers cannot purchase a new eco
ionic society with one SIS share of
took"
The delegates defeated by narrow
margin a proposal that the retail CO.
operatives supplement their present |
apital investments by interest-bear-
ng notes. bringing their investment
p to SO of their estimated purchases

committee questioned Mr.. Hogue.
president of the Associated Farmers
of Stanislaus county, California, about
this manual.
Senator Thomas: Were these de-
puties to operate in purely formal at

Mr.. Hogue: "They were not to be
uniformed"
Senator Thomas: For the purpose
of the record, l will read from page
eight the following: Uniforms. 4. 1t
is expected that money can be raised
to furnish uniforms by wholesale pur-
chase to outfit these various drilled
squads. S. 1t is suggested that the
uniform consist of olive drab color
trousers and shirt and hard hat"
Senator Thomas: What does the
hard hat mean?"
Mr.. Hogue: THAT is a helmet"
The equipment called for ga belt
and pistol holster. Members of Drill
Squads are directed to furnish their
own side arms"
Since 1929 of the farms in the
United States employ no farm labor,
according to the Social Security Board
estimate for July, 1885, 1t is evident
that the small farmers have no eco
nomic stake in backing moves for

persons standing to gain by the break
down of labor unions, not daring te
run counter to what they felt was
the tide, most of Norris colleagues
were not interested in what he had
to say.
"Mr. President" Norris began, "23
years ago raised my weak voice in
this chamber against the declaration
of war against Germany and all l
said then fell upon deaf ears and what
| 1 shall now say l presume will fall
upon unsympathetic ears of those
who are likewise members with me
in this body"
He went on to detail the horrors
of the Palmer raids, pointing out
that the director of those raids was
J. Edgar Hoover to whose proximity
it is now proposed that the bureau
of immigration be transferred.
From the record, Norris read page
after page of testimony. He told the
story Of 1913 men rounded up In De-
troit, held for seven days without
chance to talk to friend or attorney
in room "a by 80 feet, fed two cups
of coffee and four biscuits day.
He read the record to show how
Hoover instructed his undercover
agents to arrange for meetings Of
aliens and radicals on the night set
for the raid so that picking them up
would be an easier job. He read the
voiced, later, by IL
great lawyers OF the land, three of
them now members OF the supreme
court.
With care and precision he surveyed
he senates investigation of those in
famous raids and, at length, read the
conclusions OF the senate's committee.
And as Norris went on, almost alone
n the great green chamber, there was
, burst Of raucous laughter from the |
democratic cloakroom, let loose by a
page boy hurrying through the doors.

|LANDLO RDS CHARGED
WITH POCkETINe
a. A. A. CHECKS

Widespread complaints are reported
by farm tenants charging that land.
lords have boosted rents in accordance
with the demonstrated "AAA-check-
productivity" OF their farms, thus abb
sorbing the full benefit OF the pro-
gram. Other landlords have camou-
flaged the increase by charging special
bonuses or place rents. Still other
landlords have retained the former
rentals but are requiring many new
services from the renter.
One variation on those rent-raising
formulas has been to rent crop land on
shares and to charge cash rent for
pasture. This results in a double
hardship, first, because the AAA re-
quirements increase the proportion OF
q farm In pasture. thus increasing the
tenants net rent, and, second, be-
cause the reduction OF crop acres cuts
the source OF revenue out Of which
the tenant musth pay his rent.

ON THE
CAPITALS CUFF
Federated Press)
BY HENRY ION

cutIdlcu IIcSSJ
In his place on the floor of the
senate OF the United States on the
afternoon of May 81 rose an old man
His heart was heavy but he was
determined to speak his mind, deter
mined to carry on the fight, as he
had for 81 years, for the right OF
human beings to walk with freedom
and dignity regardless Of their station
In life.
In April, 1917, George Norris cast
his vote against American entry into
the war. He was denounced as a
traitor, as pro-German. Had the
phrase been current that day he GER
tainly would have been denounced as
a fifth columnist."
In the years that followed, Norris
watched a notorious attorney general
A. Mitchell Palmer, and his aide, j.
Edgar Hoover, direct the roundup OF
thousands Of persons, many Of them
guilty Of no crime other than wanting
to live at peace in country with
reputation of being free.
Norris saw the looting, under Hard
ing, Of the possessions of the people
for the benefit Of a few greedy men.
He fought, successfully, the attempt
to turn the great power plant at Mus
Gle Shoals over to private interests
when 1t could be used for the bene-
tit Of all the men and women.
In 1882, George Norris saw the cleo
ton of a president who stood with
him In demanding that the welfare of
the people Of the U. S. constitute
the paramount interest of the govern
ment, In demanding that democracy
be transformed from a mouth-filling
word on the lips of pompous poll
tician into living system of govern
ment.
A start was made during the next |
few years In the Tennessee valley. A |
great dam, bearing the name of George
Norris, was erected so that the peo-
pie of the valley could have light
and power and an opportunity to live
and grow with the resources of their
wonderful country

that engulfs and blinds many of his
colleagues, Norris became the great
name of the senate. Few in the
history of the country could look back
over 81 years of public life and say
with truth that not once had he vio-
lated the faith people put in him.
Yet, on May 81, when Norris rose to {
speak there were few on the senate
floor who paid any attention. They |
knew that Norris was rising to oppose {

 "Mutiny on the Bounty" a croWning production achievement for Irving G. Thalberg, is the sea adventure immortalized so recently

 It is the true story of scien- tific expedition of a group of men who rise in mutiny against the tyranny of their captain and who are eventually tracked down by the long arm of England's sea law and led back to an ignoble death on yardarm.
 Charles Laughton, as Captain Bligh, far surpasses any perform ance of his spectacular screen career He gives the role of Bligh the breath of life that only the original Bligh could give it.
