FIGHTS FEDERAL CONTROL

"Without the Farm Bureau the
farmers would have become the
vassals of the federal government
because the federal government
made a decisive move to take over
the water rights now vested in the
farmers themselves. I refer to the
governments attempt to give away
the waters of the Colorado river in
a secret treaty which many of us
are working to defeat.
The Farm Bureau is the only
organization we could find as ve-
hiele for protecting the rights of
the farmers. to carry the fight to
protect state rights. and work con-
stantly to preserve American prin-
ciples of government and freedom =

echoes for blocks around the

hours of Saturday evening, Jan.

Grating committee, which was
assisted by Jack French and
Bobby Lewis, hay-haulers. The

panels of paper covered with
familiar brands, decorated the
walls. The jewellers, many of
them dressed in jeans and high
heeled boots, danced to music

Suicides Reported

at Concordia. Kan. four stern-faced
German officers escorted one Capt.
Felix Tropschuh to a room with a
bed, chair. a table and a rope. While
two of them stood outside for 80
