RECORD SALES

WALLACE, Sept. 8. - The
Wallace Tobacco Market shatter-
ed the new volume-of-sales-rec-
ord-for-one-day it set for itself
last Thursday by selling $4,000
pounds of the golden weed to-
day. This was exactly 10000
pounds more than the $4,000
pounds sold last Thursday.
The new record of sales, larg-
est in the history of the Wal
lace Market, brought in $184,-
1913. 20 to the farmers of this area.
The unofficial average price
per hundred pounds for today
sales was $48.01, according to
John Skies, sales supervisor.
In selling the huge amount OF
Tobacco today, the market still
did not sell out and it continues
in the block which has existed
for the past 10 days. Prospects
are that the block will continue
for another couple of weeks, if
not longer, and warehousemen
here urgently request farmers to
book floor space in advance be-
fore bringing their tobaccos to
the market.
The warehousemen also ask
ed that growers put as near ESQ
pounds of tobacco in each pile
in order to expedite general sales
here.

STAUNTON VIRGINIA
TO TRY FOR RAIN

STAUNTON, Va, Sept. g.
The town of Staunton was lay
ing plans today to make enough
rain to save itself $300,000.
Every summer when the
droughts begin, the water level
in the towns North River reser-
voir sinks so low that the regular
supply has to be augmented with
"hard" spring water.
When this happens. the local
citizenry complains vigorously.
AS a result, the city council
sometime ago just about. decid-
ed to build an auxiliary reser-
voir at "a cost. of 100000.
Today, however, the council
got a new idea. It hired a local
air service to scatter dry ice in
the clouds above Staunton in an
attempt to make rain fall.
The city fathers figure that if
enough rain is coerced into
falling to raise the water level
of the North River shed one
inch, the new reservoir won't be
necessary-and the town will
have saved itself a tidy sum.
The rain-making attempt is
scheduled to be made later this
week.

The President tried to take

He gave up his sun-bathing

Schmidt children, Robert 13,

not injured seriously.
The parents of the children
were in theater in North Wich-
ita at the time and were inter
cepted on their way home and
taken to the Newton hospital.
Fired Three More
Col. G. w. West, Fort Riley
chief of staff, said officers had
gone to the Schmidt farm home
to discover why and how
Schmidt secured the rockets.
Earlier Schmidt told Sheriff Har-
ry Goodman he had picked up
the shells near Fort Riley where
he had been baling hay and
thought they had been fired.
Maj. Ray Hurst, provost mar
shall, Lieut. W.. w. Chapman,
ordnance officer and Capt. A.
T. Cuud picked up three other
shells at the Schmidt home and
destroyed them Immediately.
Officers at the fort said today
that the reservation is posted
with warnings to refrain from
picking up ordnance projectiles
of any kind. They explained the
position of duds is marked after
firing and the projectiles are
later destroyed. However, due to
the large number of projectiles
fired in training some are not re-
ported or found, they added.

FARM BUREAU SETS|

Annual Membership Drive
Now Underway For
1000 Members

WHITEV1LLE, Sept. ga
goal of 1000 members was es-
tablished today for the annual
membership drive of the Farm
Bureau in Columbus county as
the campaign got under way
this morning.
Arrangements having been
completed for ]. P. Quinerly to
take a leave of absence from
extension service work in his
capacity as assistant county
farm agent, Quinerly es-
tablished headquarters in the
Triple A office for the Septem-
ber campaign.
Quinerly will continue TO
receive compensation from the
county, the board of commits
sioners having authorized the
extension service leave to COM
n]v with federal and state reg
ulations.
Farm Bureau directors met
Friday and outlined general
plans for the campaign. Direc-
tors and others will solicit mem
berships as usual. but old mem
bers are being urged to turn in
their renewals before Septem-
her 20 so that the final 10 days
of the drive may be used in a
concentrated effort to obtain
new members.
"This can be accomplished"
Quinerly said, "by giving the
membership fee to one of the
banks, to a solicitor or by mail
ing fee to the Farm Bureau
Whiteville."
Spokesman for the Farm
Bureau said indications pointed
to a record membership due to
the marvellous record of the or
ganization in connection with
the tobacco stabilization pro-
gram. They estimated that the
Bureau-sponsored legislation es-
tablshing the stabilization cor
poration had meant from 10 to
IS cents per pound for tobacco
growers this year.
''Without this flooring for to-
bacco, prices might easily have
dropped as low as 80 cents per
pound" one leader said.
"It is vital that we prove by
our memberships that we are
back of such efforts on behalf
of the farmer"
Automobile stickers will 60
out this week to the more than
three thousand Farm Bureau
members and upon receipt of
the stickers, members are
asked to place them on their
cars and Immediately forward
their membership to headquar-
terS.

BRITAIN, FRANCE
READY TO DECLARE
WAR ON RUSSIANS

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Sept.
g. -U.D- A Swedish "White
Book" said today that Britain
and France were ready to de-
clare war on Russia early in
1910 and were preparing to send
troops at "short notice" to fight
with Finland in her losing strug-
gle against the Soviet Union.
Secret war documents publish
ed by the foreign office said that
only Sweden's insistence on
maintaining neutrality and her
belief that a Russo-Finnish peace
was near stopped Britain and
France from declaring war.
The Russo-Finnish war start
ed in November, 1889, and end
ed the following March.

places WIFI varied success.
The rainmaker plane-a five
passenger Cessna - took off at
3:43 p. m. with Charles Vestal
and John Wilkes, both of Pied
mont, as co-pilots. Rock Boyle,
director of ground school train
ing at Piedmont, and a reporter
made up the rest of the crew.
Plus these four, there was 100
pounds of dry ice.
Boyle explained that the use
of dry ice does not actually
make rain. It is dropped in a
cumulus, or rain, cloud which
is overhead but might pass over
the area needing moisture be-
fore the rain falls.
The dry ice is dropped into
the cloud, he said, causing a
colder temperature at the top of
the cloud than at the bottom.
The warm part of the cloud, and
the cold part of the cloud rush
together, causing condensation
and rain.
In other words, Boyle said,
the dry ice method doesn't
cause rain. 1t just makes it fall
where you want it.
To Try Again
Bob Northington, vice-presi-
dent of Piedmont Aviation,
learning the experiment had
been successful, said further
rainmaking trials would be
made within the next day or
two.
"This time we will wait until
the right kind of clouds are over
the watershed Of Salem lake."
he said "maybe we can get
enough rain out of this to help
the water shortage"

There would have been an

company of Gurkhas, the tough,
perfemtly-disciplined troops
from the hill country, under
their British Lieutenant Colonel.
This morning the newspapers
has carried flaring headlines
announcing that the Indian Au-
thorities were determined to
stamp out rioting and that
troops and Police were author
lied to shoot to kill any rioters
found attacking others.
The newspapers were still
selling when. the Sikhs met the
train, armed with three-foot
swords. Under a new regulation
they should not have carried
knives or swords with blades
more than nine inches long.
I arrived to find flies swarm
ing over pools of undried blood.
On the track lay the body of a
Moslem boy of about II years.
There was no head on the body.
Next to the body of the boy
lay an old man, gasping his
last breaths through his ripped
throat.
i appealed for help for him.
A tall Sikh came up, stared
down at the old man for a mon
ent, spat at him and turned
away.
In a third-class compartment
lay the body of an aged Moslem,
dead, still crouched over the
bundle which contained his
possessions
A girl who appeared to be
his daughter lay sprawled on
the floor. She, too, was dead,
her sari dyed by her blood. The
fingers and thumb of one of her
hands were missing. She ap-
parently had tried to ward off
the sword which killed her.
A third occupant of the COM
partment lay dead. His nose
was cut off. Half of his lower
jaw was gone and the bone was
protruding.
AS the Gurkhas arrived, Hin
du Policemen were just about to
throw on a pile Of bodies gray
bearded Moslem who was still
living, though his skull had
been split open. A British Of
ficer saved him.
When the Gurkhas started
taking the swords away from
the slaughterers, a venerable
Sikh Priest, dressed in blue
robes and carrying a spiked
shield, resisted the officer who
tried to disarm him. The Gurk-
has moved in, their grip tighten

Each sword, as it was seized,
was examined for blood stains.
Under the new rules the officer
in command could have ordered
the execution of any man found
with blood-stained sword, but
all the blades had been wiped
clean.
Throughout old Delhi there
was intermittent gun fire all
day. Smoke columns arose
after bomb explosions.
Some troops were firing on
rioters, and some Moslems
were fighting back at Hindus
and Sikhs who attacked them.
There were reports of pitched
battles between rioters, and
between rioters and troops,
within one mile of government
house.
Hospitals reported that about
100 gun-wound casualties were
treated during the day.
