Grange Urges System
OF Flexible Supports
To Stabilize Prices
By the Assoeiatsd Press

PORTLAND, Me-, Nov. 1s.-The
National Grange Convention today
Endorsed . system Of flexible Gov
ernment price supports aimed at
preventing future surplusesI and
shortages Of farm products.
It took this action after defeating
. proposal to continue indefinitely
the present wartime support pro-
gram OF 90 per cent Of parity.
Working to end its To-day session
by nightfall, the Grange refused to
take a stand on the controversial
issue of compulsory health nsur-
ance.
Opposes Tax Cut. /
It went on record, however,
against reduction in income taxes
during the present period of high
employment and income"
The convention did not say what
the range of flexible supports should
be in terms of percentages OF parity.
Parity is defined by law as a
price which would be fair equally
to farmers and those who buy
his products)
The Aiken-Hope act passed by
the Eightieth Congress set up a
system of flexible supports ranging
from 60 to 90 per cent Of parity for
major products, and from zero to
90 for other products.
The supports would be at the
minimum limit of this range when
supplies were excessive and at the
high limit when supplies were short.
Grange Backed Plan.
The Grange Endorsed the so to
90 per cent range when the matter
was before Congress last summer.
The convention softened a. stand
taken by its Agriculture Committee
on use of Government marketing
controls to combat surpluses and
low prices.
The committee suggested that the
Grange favor use of such controls
only as q last resort"
The convention rejected the sug- |
gestion, thus leaving the Grange on
record as approving such controls
in case of urgent need" and when
approved by two-thirds Of the af-
fected growers.

Siege OF Measles,
Colds, Reported
By Health Department
Nine Scarlet Fever
Cases Told; Some
Virus Pneumonia

An outbreak of 10 known cases
of measles has been reported
within the past week by Mrs.
Hal Gillian, Holmes County
Health department nurse. All of
the cases were in the Lexington
vicinity and were Lexington
school children, resulting in a
slim attendance at school this
week.
One grade reported 20 of rs
pupils out on one day, followed
by the next with still fewer
children present. 1t was thought
that many mothers were keep
ing their children away from
school as a precaution, rather
than from illness.
Several cases or virus pneu-
monia have been reported in Lex
ington by the health department,
and in Durant and Cruger the
total scarlet fever cases have
risen from seven reported two
weeks back, to nine.
A high number of common
colds which same with the low
temperatures which followed last
weeks rain have also been noted.
Health department officials urge
parents whose children show
symptoms of being i'll to keep
children at home until they are
well, or until cause of the illness
is diagnosed.
Doctors and health department
officials have been kept buster
than usual during the past few
days as a result of the heavy
seige of Illnesses.

Durdnf Jurors Find
Powell Not Guilty"
Despite 17R Cases
Powell Sweurs He
Hos Nothing To Do
With The Rainbow

"a jury composed of six Durant
cltazens found MarshallM M. BLACK
jack" Powell mot guilty" of the
unlawful possession of liquor in
.ne ~ court before Judge r. E.
McNeer Wednesday afternoon.
Powell was being tried on the
unlawful possession" charge in
connection with a raid made bv
Sheriff Ellis E. Wynn on Novem-
per ~ In which Sheriff WYNN
took 17k cases of Intoxicating
spirits from the RAINBOW Garden,
a night club which Powell has
owned and operated for several
years.
Members of the jury which
freed Powell were Wiley Hum.
Phrles. c. D. Wilson. Alvin
Powers, J. G. Henry. w. s.
Heggie and Claude Dodd.
Had Powell been convicted he
would undoubtedly have drawn
Jail sentence because he was
being tried on a second offense.
Powell's defense on the case
was and he swore under oath
that he was not the owner or
operator of the Rainbow and had
nothing to do with it, that it was
owned and operated by j. G..
Layne, in spite of the fact that
he PowelD lived and was on the
premises when Mr.. Wynn made
the raid.
Mr.. Wynn testified that Powell
was at the Rainbow when he
made the raid and that he took
an inventory of what was taken
on the raid saying something
about getting some income tax
off on the lost whiskey
The amount of whiskey taken
from the Rainbow was 171a cases
worth 1904 at wholesale cost.
