ury Morgenthau agriculture's pub
lie enemy No. l." Senator Bankhead,
Democrat, of Alabama said today
that farm State members of Con-
greSs would oppose an attempt to
clamp rigid price ceilings on agri-
culture.
Senator Bankhead. who has spon-
sored most Of the New Deal farm
laws and appropriations in recent
years. asserted that he saw no pos
sibility of any inflationary prices for
major farm crops.
He hit out at the recent series of
Morgenthau statements which con-
tended that rising prices have ac-
celerated the danger of initiation and
urged that Government loan stocks
of agricultural products be placed
on the market to Counteract the
climbing prices.
Senator Bankhead challenged the
Morgenthau position as absurd"
Points to Surpluses.
I'VE have big surplus supplies of
cotton. wheat, corn, tobacco and
most other major farm products" he
said. 'As long as this exists, there
can be no initiation in farm prices.
To get an inflated price. YOU must
have scarcity with several buyers
bidding for an article. No thinking
person us afraid of such a situati
in cotton, wheat or other major
crops"
Senator Bankhead. Chairman
Smith of the Senate Agriculture
Committee and several other Sen
ators who have led congressional
battles on farm bills in the past
have accused Mr. Morgenthau of
forcing down market prices of cotton
and other major crops by recent
public utterances
ANY one would think he was
Secretary of Agriculture instead of
the Treasury" Senator Bankhead
said. He seems to spend all his
time trying to advise on farm mat

respect him. but he's no farm au-
thority. He has become Public

Quoted here at 1:30 pm. tomorrow
and burial will follow at Washington
Court House, his birthplace.
In spite of his turbulent years in
public life, Mr.. Daugherty never was
convicted of anything, and in sum-
ming up his career in January, 1910,
remarked:
What I did was done in
the interest of the American people

courts. Notwithstanding the abuse
I received, l can say now that given
the same circumstances I would not
change an official or personal act of
mine while I was Attorney General.
That's clear conscience for you"

born January 26, 1860. He next

with a full days program ranging
from wreath-laying ceremonies to a

Meanwhile, Senator Thomas, Dem
oCrat, of Oklahoma said he would
press for approval of his bill to re-
wise upward the present system of
determining parity prices on agri-
cultural commodities. A parity price
is one that gives an article the same
relative purchasing power it had in
the base period 1909-l9l4.
Any increase in parity levels for
major farm products would mean
millions and possibly billions of ex-
ira dollars for farmers in the period

Congress this year as floor under

Gently been poisoned in Kalispell.
The wanton and cruel destruction
of all these pets has occasioned sad

hoped that the identity of the con-

Irwin Cobb tells of dog in his
home town that bit seven men in
succession. The first man bitten
was the meanest man in town, and
the dog bit the other six in order to
get the bad taste out of its mouth.
On the whole the dog showed good
sense and did a neat job of it. A
dog does have intelligence.
The attachment between a man
and his dog especially hunting
dog, is often remarkable. If the dog
be killed or injured, he may try
to hide his sentiment by blowing his
nose, but there is good sized lump
in his throat. Children often regard
a pet dog as a member of the fam
lily, and the dog, no doubt, has the
same opinion. AT any rate, there
is big place in the heart of boy
for his canine pet. II anything
happens to it, tragedy steps into his
life.

long to master who is not always
kind to it. But neither kicks, cuffs
nor neglect will shake the loyalty
of the animal, If only there is a kind
word or pat occasionally. Even I'M

to please, and remains faithful unto
death.
If only we humans were half as
anxious to serve each other, and
half as faithful to our friends If
only we could do half as well in
forgetting and forgiving the sights
and hurts that come our way Only

who love it.
